The Z\u00fcrn<\/a> family of sculptors, one of the most important families of artists in southern Germany, had a significant influence on the artistic landscape in the Upper Swabia region and on Lake Constance. Especially in the towns of \u00dcberlingen and Bad Waldsee, where the family was active between 1600 and 1640, the Z\u00fcrns left behind impressive works that are still admired today.<\/p>\n The origins of the Z\u00fcrn family lie in Waldsee (now Bad Waldsee), where Hans Z\u00fcrn the Elder, the founder of the sculptor dynasty, was born around 1555. His sons, including the famous sculptors Hans Z\u00fcrn the Younger and Michael Z\u00fcrn the Elder, followed in their father’s footsteps and continued to develop the family tradition. They created outstanding sculptures<\/a> that reflect the transition from late Gothic to Renaissance and finally to early Baroque.<\/p>\n In \u00dcberlingen, where the Z\u00fcrns were particularly active, numerous altars, sculptures and artistic woodwork were created, representing the rich artistic heritage of the region. One of the most famous works is the high altar in St. Nicholas Minster in \u00dcberlingen, which was designed by the Z\u00fcrn family. This altar, with its detailed figures and impressive structure, is a masterpiece of early Baroque sacred art.<\/p>\n The Z\u00fcrns also left behind important works in Bad Waldsee. The Waldsee Monastery, now a Capuchin monastery, is home to some of the most beautiful works of the Z\u00fcrns, including artistically crafted sculptures and altars. The Z\u00fcrns’ works are characterized by an intense expressiveness and fine attention to detail that make their figures appear both lively and spiritual.<\/p>\n The Z\u00fcrn family of sculptors combined traditional craftsmanship with innovative design elements in their work. Her works are characterized by a high degree of precision craftsmanship and deep religious symbolism that captivate the viewer. The period from 1600 to 1640 was a heyday for the Z\u00fcrns, during which they made a lasting name for themselves in southern German art history.<\/p>\n Today, the Z\u00fcrns’ works are regarded as outstanding examples of early Baroque sacred art and attract art lovers and historians alike. In \u00dcberlingen and Bad Waldsee, you can still admire the impressive traces of this remarkable family of artists, who had a decisive influence on the religious art of their time.<\/p>\n Limewood with polychrome frame and gilding.
