Moritz von Schwind Sabina von Steinbach carving the Statue of the Synagogue 1844 oil on canvas Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin |
The documented historical figure, Erwin von Steinbach, participated in the building of Strasbourg's cathedral in the 13th century, though little more than that simple fact is known about him. His supposed daughter Sabina was never heard of until the 19th century. "Based on a (now lost) inscription on one of the sculptures on the exterior of the Strasbourg cathedral (naming a 'Savinae'), a nineteenth-century scholar attributed several famous sculptures both on the exterior and interior of the cathedral to the previously unacknowledged but extremely skillful female sculptor, Sabina von Steinbach, the daughter of Erwin. That the sculptures in question date to a period approximately four decades before Erwin's work at the cathedral was evidently not recognized then or was seen as being not at all problematic. The name of Sabina von Steinbach continues to occur in studies of medieval female artists." (Leslie Ross in Artists of the Middle Ages, Greenwood Press, 2003)
