Joseph Anton Stoss
1707–1783
Worked briefly in Passau according to one often cited label which reads ‘Patavii‘ (previously misinterpreted as Padua, Italy). Remained in Füssen throughout most of his life. Coarse interpretations of Italian models, although scrolls well-carved and varnish effectively done. Josephus Antonius Stoss \u{2026} — John Dilworth

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Sohn von Herm. Jos. St. und Marie Stadler. Er heirathete am 20. Juni 1735 Regina Lutz. Er arbeitete nach italienischen Vorbildern und hatte ein Modell, das auf Guarneri zurückzugehen scheint. Seine Arbeit ist sehr gut, ebenso sein Lack. Nach seinem Zettel müsste man ihn nach Padua versetzen, ich glaube aber eher, dass er in Passau (Castra Batava) lebte.
