Franz Hoppenstätt (died 1657 or 1658) was a German-Estonian wood carver. == Life and works == Franz Hoppenstätt probably came originally from Bremen. His work is evident in Estonia from the 1640s. From 1653 he was a citizen of Tallinn.〔(The Decorative Screen of the Chapel of Bogislaus Rosen ). English text of the Art Museum in Estonia.〕 There he worked as a wood carver. His Early Baroque works that were decorated with splendid acanthus ornamentation have become famous. Particularly well known works include: * The coloured pulpit of the church of Järva-Jaani made by Hoppenstätt with its magnificent carvings (1648) * The decorated wall of the funerary chapel of Bogislaus von Rosen in St. Nicholas' Church, Tallinn (1655)〔Destroyed during a Soviet air raid on Tallinn in March 1944, albeit fragments remain〕 * The door of the house, ''Pikk tänav 71'', in the old town of Tallinn.〔Eesti Elulood. Tallinn: Eesti Entsüklopeediakirjastus 2000 (= Eesti Entsüklopeedia 14) ISBN 9985-70-064-3, p. 94〕 None of the works bear Hoppenstätt's signature, so their attribution to him remains in doubt; but all three works are by the same artist.〔(Art Museum of Estonia )〕 Hoppenstätt died in the late 1650s, probably of the plague. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Franz Hoppenstätt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
