Johann Georg Pinsel

Johann Georg Pinsel (Polish: Johann Georg / Jan Jerzy Pinsel, Ukrainian: Йоган Ґеорґ Пінзель; 1715–1725[1] – 1761 or 1762) was a Baroque-Rococo sculptor active in Eastern Galicia (then in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, now in Ukraine).

His first and second name, some facts about his family, and more precise year of death were determined only in 1993,[2] with the discovery of registers of the Buchach Roman Catholic parish.

He settled in Buchach and started to work as a sculptor under the patronage of the rich Polish aristocrat Mikołaj Bazyli Potocki.

His only work that remains intact in its original form, including the intended spatial arrangement, is the facade of the St. George's Cathedral.

Employees of the Lviv Art Gallery preserved all Pinsel's figures from the high altar in Hodovytsia.
