Ignaz Günther

Ignaz Günther (born November 22, 1725 in Altmannstein, Germany; died June 27, 1775 in Munich) was a German sculptor and woodcarver within the Bavarian rococo tradition.

He studied under Johann Baptist Straub from 1743 to 1750 and under Paul Egell in Mannheim from 1751 to 1752. In 1753, he worked at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. In 1754, he started his own shop in Munich.

He is best remembered for his work in churches, especially his altars.
