From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Seyffer, also known as Hans Seyfer or Hans of Heilbronn (c.1460–1509), was a stone sculptor and wood carver of the late Gothic style.
Seyffer was born in Sinsheim. Little else is known about his life. He lived and worked at a dramatic turn of an era (from late Gothic to Renaissance) together with other masters (e.g. Tilman Riemenschneider, Veit Stoss and Hans Brueggemann). He created many well-known works of art in Heilbronn (such as the High Altar of St. Kilian's Church[1]) in Stuttgart and in Speyer (the original 1506-1509 Mount of Olives sculptural group was destroyed and replaced in the 19th century by images carved by Gottfried Renn).[2] He died in Heilbronn.
