Johann Georg Pinsel (? - autumn 1762) is the most prominent sculptor of the Rococo era in Ukraine. Most of his artistic heritage was destroyed during the Soviet era, but even what has survived is impressive. In particular, the sculptures that adorn the most beautiful Ukrainian town hall in Buchach, Ternopil region, and St George's Cathedral in Lviv. Pinsel's original expressive style was far ahead of the development of art of the time and became a global sensation in the twentieth century. Meanwhile, the artist's biography is a complete mystery. It is not known when and where he was born, what his real surname was, who he studied his craft with, or why he came to the then Rzeczpospolita. Even the date of his death is a guess by historians and art historians. However, the life of a brilliant artist is inseparable from his works. And this book is an attempt to tell us about him by reading what he created.
