Master of Eschau

Add article description

The Master of Eschau (French: Maître d'Eschau) is the notname given to an Alsatian Romanesque sculptor and his workshop, active in the first half of the 12th century.[1]

The Master's name derives from the sculptures (capitals, baptismal font) from the cloister and the church of St Trophimus in Eschau, Bas-Rhin. Most of the remains of his sculpted work from that location are displayed in the Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame in Strasbourg. The Master is also considered to be the author of the sarcophagus of bishop Adelochus of Strasbourg (died 823). That work, dated around 1130[2] or 1144,[1] is displayed in the Église Saint-Thomas of Strasbourg.
