  Occupation	Christoph Daniel Schenck, Bildhauer: FISCHER, Fritz: Zwei Hauptwerke von Christoph Daniel Schenck im J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu. In: Skulptur in Süddeutschland 1400-1770. Festschrift für Alfred Schädler. Hrsg. von Rainer Kahsnitz und Peter Volk. München: Deutscher Kunstverlag 1998. S. 273-180. http://www.getty.edu/art/collections/bio/a3515-1.html Born to a family of sculptors who had shops in the area of southern Germany and northern Switzerland around Lake Constance, Christoph Daniel Schenck learned to sculpt from his father. He became an important sculptor of religious imagery, working primarily in wood and ivory. He is also known for his large-scale wood altar figures and altarpieces. Schenck produced his earliest works during the Counter-Reformation, a period of renewed artistic activity when churches and monasteries were being restored and redecorated. He frequently treated religious scenes of suffering and penitence in his work, often repeating themes in different media. Spiraling, activated drapery forms emphasized his combination of stark naturalism and heightened emotionalism.
