Johann Baptist Babel
Johann Baptist Babel (25 June 1716 – 9 February 1799) was the preeminent sculptor of Baroque era Switzerland.Beyer: "die hervorragendste Bildhauerpersönlichkeit des schweizerischen Barock". Active mainly in Central Switzerland, he enjoyed an uncommonly long productive period that spanned the transitions from Late Baroque to Rococo and then to Neoclassicism.
