WAGNER, Veit

(b. ~1470 ?, d. ~1520 Strasbourg)

German sculptor. In 1492 he worked for St George’s Church, Haguenau, Alsace, and in 1495 he became a citizen of Strasbourg. He executed the great retable at Bergheim c. 1510. The large quantities of wood and stone sculptures that were produced suggest that he had a large workshop.
