## Biography

Austrian sculptor. He may have been the son of Johann Georg Stämel, and was a pupil of Johann Jakob Schoy \(1686-1733\). His principal work was produced in Admont in Austria. After an Italian sojourn from 1718 to 1725, Stammel remained in Admont until his death, working as collegiate sculptor. In addition to such structures as the high altar in St. Martin near Graz, which was constructed between 173 and 1740, he carried out a lot of work for the abbey of Admont, including the sculptural work for the ornate collegiate library in 1750s.
