!!!Waldburger, Hans

Waldburger, Hans, b. Innsbruck (Tyrol), around 1570, 
d. Salzburg before Aug. 12, 1630, leading mannerist sculptor. Son 
and student of the Innsbruck court sculptor, Hans Leonhard W. 
Artistically influenced by the sculptors A. Colin and H. Gerhard who 
worked in Innsbruck; appointed to Salzburg by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich 
von Raitenau, where he created numerous works (including the Susanna 
fountain in the Kurpark, around 1610; garden figures in Hellbrunn 
palace; "Justitia" in the portal of the Town Hall, 1616); his later 
work is of special significance as it represents the transition from 
late Renaissance to early Baroque; these works include the organ of 
St. Peter´s (Salzburg, 1620), the former high altar of the 
collegiate church at Mondsee (Upper Austria, 1626), the organ casing 
of the parish church of St. Wolfgang in the Upper Austrian 
Salzkammergut lake region (1629) and the former high altar of Nonnberg 
collegiate church (Salzburg, 1629, from 1853 in Scheffau an der 
Lammer, Salzburg, the Madonna of 1627 can still be seen in Nonnberg).
