The study recapitulates the most important works of two representatives of Czech Baroque sculpture, Andreas Philipp Quitainer (1679-1729) and his son Johann Anton Quitainer (1709-1765).

Among the first it includes a keen plastic sense which characterised the work of the elder Quitainer and was also his son's stylistic point of departure. As an independent creative contribution from the younger master it mentions, in particular, the decorative rendering of surfaces and some composition innovations (a rising gyrating movement), which is probably related...

Evidence of military conflicts of the period was illustrated by a find of almost two thousands re/deposited...
