Donner - What kind of (English spelling) Georg Raphael Donner

Austrian sculptor. Born in Esslingen. After training in Vienna, he traveled to Italy around 1714-15. In the 1920s he worked on coin casting at the Salzburg Mint, and in 1728 he was invited to Pressburg, where he worked on the construction of churches and altars until 1738. His masterpieces include the Statue of St. Martin (1732), which he created during this time, and the Fountain at Neumarkt Square (1739) which he created after returning to Vienna. His works show a clear intention for structure, and in this respect he is regarded as a pioneer of sober classicism in opposition to the Baroque style. He died in Vienna.

オーストリアの彫刻家。エスリンゲン生まれ。ウィーンで修業したのち、1714~15年ごろイタリアへ旅行する。20年代はザルツブルクの造幣局で鋳貨の仕事に携わり、28年にプレスブルクに招かれて38年まで同地の聖堂や祭壇制作に従事する。この間に制作した『聖マルティン像』(1732)、およびウィーンに帰ってからのノイマルクト広場の泉水(1739)は代表作として知られる。作品には明晰(めいせき)な構造化への意図が認められ、この点で彼はバロック様式に対立する冷静な古典主義の先駆者と評価されている。ウィーンに没。
