!!!Kaschauer, Jakob

Kaschauer, Jakob, b. Vienna, around 1400, d. Vienna, between 
March 23 and Aug. 29, 1463, painter and sculptor. 1429 on record as 
working in the stonemasons' lodge of St. Stephen's cathedral. 
Head of an important workshop; his standing as an artist is, however, 
hard to assess, since very few works can be definitely ascribed to 
him; of the still extant fragments of the altar of Freising (1443) 
only the statue of the Virgin Mary is regarded as his own work.
