Life
His exact life dates are not known yet. It is possible that he learned his profession in Prague and was also active there. It is occupied for the first time for the year 1724. At that time, he settled, coming from Prague, in Breslau, where he still lived in 1756. In Breslau, he created sculptures with pronounced light-shadow effects that refer to the Prague School of Sculptors Ferdinand Maximilian Brokoff and Matthias Bernhard Braun. Outstanding work he created for the then Jesuit University of Wroclaw with its Aula Leopoldina. His colleagues in Breslau included, among others, the Jesuit Christoph Tausch, Franz Joseph Mangoldt and Johann Georg Urbansky, Felix Anton Scheffler, Christian Philip Bentum, Johann Christoph Handke and the stonemason Johann Adam Karinger.
