Sesselschreiber, Gilg Ägidius#

b. Munich (Germany), around 1460/1465, d. after 1520, brass founder and painter. From 1502 worked as a painter at the court of Maximilian I, did the sketches of the large statues at the Tomb of Maximilian in the Innsbrucker Hofkirche church and initially supervised their casting. His financial difficulties, which substantially delayed the progress of the work, soon necessitated the co-operation of other workshops, among others in Nuremberg and Augsburg and finally forced S. to hand over the work to the S. Godl workshop in 1520.
