Günther, Ignaz

Japanese: ギュンター（英語表記）Günther， Ignaz

Born: November 22, 1725. Altman Stein
Died: June 28, 1775. A German, Bavarian sculptor of the Munich Rococo period. He studied sculpture at the Vienna Academy in 1752. Many of his works are religious sculptures with Christian themes, but he has assimilated medieval tastes into the light, decorative expression unique to Rococo, resulting in elegant pieces. The elongated physique, long face, and strong facial expression are Gothic, but the dynamic overall composition is rather Baroque. His most famous work is the altar of Rot am Inn Cathedral, which he created between 1760 and 1762 and is a typical example of German Rococo. A particular speciality of his works are painted wooden sculptures, of which such fine examples as Tobias and the Angel (1763) at Bürgazar in Munich, the Pieta (64) and the Annunciation (64) in the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul in Weyrn, and the Annunciation (64) in the Cathedral of Beirne.

[没]1775.6.28. ミュンヘン
ロココ時代のドイツ，バイエルンの彫刻家。 1752年ウィーンのアカデミーで彫刻を学ぶ。作品はキリスト教を主題とした宗教彫刻が多いが，中世趣味をロココ独特の軽快で装飾的な表現方法のなかに消化して，優雅な作品に仕上げている。引伸ばされた体驅や面長の顔，感情を強く表わす表情などはゴシックのものであるが，動勢に富む全体の構成はむしろバロック的である。代表作は 60～62年に制作したドイツ・ロココの典型を示すロット・アム・イン聖堂の祭壇。特色は彩色された木像彫刻にあり，ミュンヘン，ビュルガザールの『トビアスと天使』 (1763) ，ワイヤーンの聖ペトロと聖パウロ聖堂の『ピエタ』 (64) および『受胎告知』 (64) ，ベイアルン聖堂の『聖告』 (64) はその好例である。
