Carl Burckhardt (sculptor)

Carl Nathanael Burckhardt (13 January 1878, Lindau - 24 December 1923, Ligornetto) was a Swiss painter and sculptor.

He began his studies in 1896, as a student of the painter, Fritz Schider, then attended a private school operated by Heinrich Knirr in Munich.

The reliefs featured Amazon figures that were cut by his assistant, Louis Léon Weber [de] in 1912.

[1] Other public works in Basel include the portal relief at the Pauluskirche and a bronze statue of St. George slaying the dragon; which was awarded first prize in a competition held by the Kunstkredit Basel-Stadt [de], to design a figure for a stairway in the Kohlenberg District.

In 1954, a commemorative exhibition at the Kunsthalle Basel featured works by Burckhardt and Numa Donzé [de].
