Schweigger, Georg
(b Nuremberg, 6 April 1613; d Nuremberg, 13 June 1690). German sculptor and medallist. He was a son of the sculptor Immanuel Schweigger (d 1634). He is thought to have been apprenticed first to his father and then to Christoph Ritter III (1610–76), a Nuremberg goldsmith and sculptor, but his work appears to reflect the influence of Netherlandish sculpture of the second half of the 16th century. His first known work is a stone modello (1633; Hamburg, Mus. Kst & Gew.) for a monument to Gustav II Adolf of Sweden (not executed).
