!!!Dorfmeister, Johann Georg

b. Vienna, Sept. 22, 1736, 
d. Saska (Rumania), Sept. 21, 1786. Sculptor, pupil of B. F.  
Moll at the Academy in Vienna, 1757-1760; member of the Academy from 
1765. One of the most significant sculptors in the 2nd half of the 
18th century; in his early years, D. was strongly influenced by 
G. R.  Donner; later, under competitive pressure from F. A. 
von  Zauner and J. M.  Fischer, D. paid more attention to 
Classicism without completely abandoning his late baroque influences. 
commissioned mostly for churches in Vienna and Lower Austria.
