Jacob Carl Stauder

Jacob Carl Stauder (October 1694, Oberwil - 9 February 1756, Lucerne) was a Swiss-German painter in the Baroque style.

His father, Franz Carl Stauder (c. 1660-1714), was also a painter and gave him his first lessons.

At some point, he began travelling frequently, to execute commissions, and came to prefer being away from Konstanz, leaving his wife and nine children alone most of the time.

[citation needed] In 1740, due to the presence of a major competitor in Konstanz (Franz Joseph Spiegler), he effectively became a resident of Saint Blaise Abbey.

Only two of his students have been identified: Johannes Zick and Jakob Anton von Lenz (1701-1764), although Balthasar Riepp also worked with him, possibly as an apprentice.
