        Christoph Daniel Schenck

        Est: €4,500 - €9,000

        (1633 Konstanz - 1691 ebenda) Relieftafel mit Christus beim Gebet im Garten Gethsemane am Ölberg Lindenholz, geschnitzt; Ursprüngliche Silberfassung und Vergoldung mit silberfarbenem Grau überfasst und teilw. bis auf den Bolus, die Grundierung und das Holz durchgerieben. Unter dem rechten Bein Christi monogr. "CD.S.", darunter dat "1683". Szenische Darstellung nach dem Lukas-Evangelium (Lukas 22, 39-46) mit dem knienden Christus, der die Hände angstvoll zum Gebet gefaltet hat und sich zu einem großen, hinter ihm stehenden Engel umdreht. Dieser hält in der Nacht vor der Kreuzigung den Kelch des künftigen Leidens in der Hand, stärkt Christus und deutet mit der linken Hand zum Himmel, denn Christus wendet sich in großer Angst an Gottvater und fleht ihn an: "Vater, lass diesen Kelch an mir vorübergehen". Mit seinem linken Knie drückt Christus parallel hierzu die Schlange des Paradieses mit dem Apfel nieder, das ihn ikonographisch bzw. theologisch als Gegenstück zu Adam für die Menschheit zum Überwinder des Bösen und der Erbsünde werden lässt. Im Hintergrund rechts unten Petrus und zwei weitere schlafende Jünger; rechts oben der hinter Wolken hervorscheinende Mond. Laut Dr. Fritz Fischer ist das "meisterhaft geschnitzte Relief (...) ohne jeden Zweifel ein eigenhändiges Werk von Christoph Daniel Schenck. Seine unverwechselbare Handschrift zeigt sich vor allem in der Wiedergabe der Gewänder (...): eine Demonstration virtuoser Schnitzkunst". Ebenso charakteristisch für den Bildhauer ist die komprimierte Kompositionsweise des Reliefs. Schenck war einer der ersten hochbarocken Bildhauer in Süddeutschland sowie der Schweiz und prägte die Geschichte der Skulptur in diesem Raum. Er arbeitete fast ausschließlich für den Fürstbischof von Konstanz und den Fürstabt von Einsiedeln, damals die ranghöchsten kirchlichen Auftraggeber Südwestdeutschlands und der Schweiz. Möglicherweise stammt das Relief, wie die meisten seiner Werke, ursprünglich aus dem Kloster Einsiedeln und fungierte dort, ehedem kostbar gerahmt, als eines der zahlreichen Andachtsbilder für die Gläubigen, die im 17. Jh. in den berühmten Wallfahrtsort pilgerten. Ein gut vergleichbares Relief gleichen Themas befindet sich in der katholischen Pfarrkirche St. Martin in Ittendorf (vgl. Kat. "Christoph Daniel Schenck 1633-1691", Sigmaringen 1996, Kat. Nr. 11). 28,5 cm x 23,5 cm x 5 cm. Wir danken Herrn Dr. Fritz Fischer für freundliche Informationen zum Werk und sein aktuelles Gutachten vom 24.02.2023. Carved limewood relief panel. Polychromy rubbed. Signed with monogram and dated "C D S 1683". Accompanied by an expertise by Dr. Fritz Fischer, 24th of February 2023.

        Schenck, Christoph Daniel Konstanz 1633-1691 11,7 x 7 x 1 cm Brustkreuz eines Geistlichen. Buchsbaum, beidseitig im Relief bearbeitet, patinierte Messingmontierung. Auf der einen Seite Christus am Kreuz über einer Mater Dolorosa und geritzter Signatur "C.D. S." (berieben) sowie undeutliche Datierung "16..". Auf der anderen Seite u.a. Darstellung des Heiligen Antonius von Padua. Gebrauchsspuren. Altersschäden, kleinere Fehlstellen. Deutsche Privatsammlung Christoph Daniel Schenck entstammte einer Konstanzer Bildhauerfamilie, er lernte vermutlich bei seinem Vater Hans Christoph Schenck, der von Mindelheim nach Konstanz kam. Christus Daniel Schenck arbeitete für den Fürstbischof von Konstanz und für bedeutende Klöster in dessen Bistum. Neben Großfiguren aus Holz, z.Bsp. die Kreuzigungsgruppe in der Leonhardskapelle in Sonderbuch bei Zwiefalten, hat sich Schenck vor allem auf kleinformatige Relieftafeln aus Buchsbaum sowie Kleinfiguren und Reliefarbeiten aus Elfenbein spezialisiert, die sein ganzes meisterliches Können zeigen. Seine Werke hat er zumeist mit seinen Initialien "C.D.S." bzw. "C.D.Schenck" signiert, und datiert. So konnten eine Vielzahl von Arbeiten sicher zugeschrieben werden. Ein Brustkreuz Schencks von ähnlicher Größe und mit der Darstellung des Hl. Christopherus befand sind einst im Städtischen Museum in Ulm. Durch die am unteren Kreuzrand vorhandene Signatur, kann das hier präsentierte Kreuz sicher Christoph Daniel Schenck zugeschrieben werden. Lit. Rosengartenmuseum Konstanz, Augustinermuseum Freiburg, WLM Stuttgart, Christoph Daniel Schenck 1633-1691, Thorbecke 1996, S. 9 ff. und Kat.Nr. 10. Schenck, Christoph Daniel Konstanz 1633-1691 11,7 x 7 x 1 cm Pectoral cross of a clergyman. Boxwood, worked in relief on both sides, patinated brass mounts. On one side Christ on the cross above a Mater Dolorosa and incised signature "C.D. S." (worn) and indistinct date "16..". On the other side, among other things, depiction of Saint Anthony of Padua. Signs of wear, age damages, minor defects. German private collection. Christoph Daniel Schenck came from a Constance family of sculptors, he probably learned from his father Hans Christoph Schenck, who came to Constance from Mindelheim. Christ Daniel Schenck worked for the Prince Bishop of Constance and for important monasteries in his diocese. In addition to large wooden sculptures, for example the crucifixion group in the Leonhardskapelle in Sonderbuch near Zwiefalten, Schenck has specialized primarily in small-size relief panels made of boxwood as well as small figures and relief works made of ivory, which show all his masterly skills. He usually signed and dated his works with his initials "C.D.S." or "C.D.Schenck". By doing so, a large number of works could be reliably attributed. A pectoral cross by Schenck of a similar size and depicting St. Christopher was once in the Municipal Museum in Ulm. Due to the signature on the lower edge of the cross, the cross presented at hand can certainly be attributed to Christoph Daniel Schenck. Lit.
