Erasmus Grasser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erasmus Grasser (ca. 1450- ca. 1515) was a leading sculptor in Munich in the early 16th century. He developed in an animated and realistic style, furthering on the works of Nikolaus Gerhaert. He worked mainly in wood, and is best known for the 16 figures (now 10) of the Morris Dancers (1480), oak choirstalls at the cathedral of Munich (1502) and the high alter at Reichersdorf (1502-1506).
