Ignaz Günther (1725 Altmannstein – 1775 Munich), attributed to or from his circle Winged Angel’s Head Carved, painted, and gilded linden wood. A sculpture of the Munich Rococo style, featuring a chubby-cheeked head turned to the right with a small, open mouth; the hair stands out in large, swirling waves and piles up on the forehead to form a diagonal tuft. Ignaz Günther, like few others, knew how to endow the numerous winged angel heads—which appeared in Rococo church interiors as figures assisting the saints or as messengers from the heavenly realm—with distinctly individual features and unmistakable characters. In particular, the expressive rendering of the face and the dynamic style of the hair in this angel’s head point to Günther or his circle. Approx. 31.5 cm x 43.5 cm x 15 cm. Attributed to Ignaz Günther (1725–1775) or his circle. Carved, painted, and gilded limewood.
