A final masterpiece was the church of St. John of Nepomuk in Munich, created between 1729 and 1746 by Egid Quirin (initially with the aid of his brother). Egid derived his inspiration from Borromini’s Church of St. Carlo alle Quattre Fontane in Rome.
Peter Anton von Verschaffelt (1710-1793) came from Ghent to Mannheim and created remarkable works of art for the “Jesuit Church” and for the Schlosspark in Schwetzingen. A sculptor of similar style was Johann Gottfried Knoffler (1715-1799) in Dresden, where he had been given a professional chair at the Academy of Art. Despite the terrible nights of bombings in February of 1945, some of his works can still be viewed in Dresden, for example the Dolphin Fountain (c. 1747) on the Brühl Terrace and the Delphic Apollo (c. 1740-1750) in the Palace of the Great Garden.
Georg Rafael Donner (1693-1741) came from the Viennese school of sculpture. His most important work was the fountain on the New Market (1739; the Donner Fountain) with the figures placed on the edge of the basin representing the four most important rivers in the Archdukedom. In the centre of the fountain sits the enthroned Providentia (Wisdom), which was an allegorical symbol of the city’s water supply. Similarly the wall fountain in the Old Town Hall with the Liberation of Andromeda (1739), the Sacristy Fountain in St. Stephan’s Church (1741) and the altar reliefs in a chapel in St. Martin’s Church in Bratislava also illustrate this idea.
Other sculptors in this period were Balthasar Ferdinand Moll (1717-1785), who created the State Sarcophagi of the Imperial family in the Augustiner Crypt and Friedrich Wilhelm Baier (1729-1797), who worked primarily for the Schloss and the park of Schönbrunn.
