Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Hans Valkenauer (born 1448; died after 1518) was a German sculptor, working from Salzburg from about 1480 and specialising in funerary monuments in the late Gothic style.
Early life
Valkenauer was born in 1448, probably in the Salzburg area,Шаблон:Sfn or possibly Regensburg where his putative father, Martin Valkenauer, was recorded as being resident in 1465.Шаблон:Sfn The first mention of Hans Valkenauer in historical sources was on 18 October 1479 when he was granted citizenship of the city of Salzburg.Шаблон:Sfn
Main body of work
Valkenauer became known for creating a large number of tomb monuments, often in the form of sculpted slabs of red marble, and mainly in Salzburg.Шаблон:Sfn He followed in the funerary art traditions of the Austrian cities of Vienna, Wiener Neustadt and Salzburg. His work also shows the influence of the anonymous German engraver referred to as "Master E. S." by art historians and the Dutch sculptor Nikolaus Gerhaert.Шаблон:Sfn
His first known work, from around 1480, was the tomb of Lukas Lamprechtshauser at the Шаблон:Ill in Regensburg.Шаблон:Sfn Other important works followed including tomb monuments in churches in Braunau, Villach and in Carinthia (Maria Saal and Millstatt)Шаблон:Sfn and the Kunz Horn epitaph in St. Lorenz, Nuremberg and the Wolfgang von Polheim tomb monument in Шаблон:Ill.Шаблон:Sfn
However, it was his works in Salzburg with which Valkenauer was most associated,Шаблон:Sfn and he came to prominence as the city's leading late Gothic sculptor.Шаблон:Sfn His work included monuments in the Margaret Chapel of the Petersfriedhof cemeteryШаблон:Sfn and in the Hohensalzburg Castle. In the latter case, this included a series of red marble reliefs in the St George's Chapel and seven spotted red marble busts integrated into the architecture of the building.Шаблон:Sfn In 1487, city officials paid him six florins, a significant amount of money, to create an anti-semitic Judensau sculpture.Шаблон:Sfn It was carved as a marble frieze on the tower of the Town Hall facing a synagogue.Шаблон:Sfn
Later life: Maximilian I's commission
In 1514 the Habsburg Emperor, Maximilian I commissioned Valkenauer to create a monument in Speyer cathedral to 12 of the kings, emperors and consorts interred in the cathedral. The design was in the form of a 6-metre diameter crown supported by 12 columns each bearing a sculpture of one of the interred historical figures.Шаблон:Sfn
It was never completed as work on it stopped when Maximilian died in 1519. The elements and sculptures that were created, much of it by Valkenauer's shop rather than by Valkenauer himself, have survived and are held in the Salzburg Museum (formerly known as the Carolino-Augusteum Museum). The sculpted figures have a doleful and contemplative appearance and the style is very much in the Gothic tradition rather than that of Renaissance sculpture.Шаблон:Sfn Valkenauer died some time after 1518.Шаблон:Sfn
