Loy Hering

Loy Hering (1484–85 in Kaufbeuren – 1 June 1564 in Eichstätt) was a German Renaissance sculptor.

He began his career as an apprentice to Hans Beierlein in Augsburg.

His greatest patron was the Prince-Bishop Gabriel von Eyb.

With his sons and apprentices Hering ran one of the most prolific artist's workshops of the German renaissance, supplying sculptures to almost the entire German-speaking region.
