Ignatius Taschner was a German sculptor, medalist, graphic designer and illustrator. He was born in 1871 and spent his childhood and youth in Lohr am Main. From 1885–88, he completed an apprenticeship as a stonemason in Schweinfurt with the sculptor Wilhelm Kämpf and worked there for a year as a journeyman. Taschner then studied from 1889–95 at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, under Syrius Eberle and Jakob Bradl. Among his fellow students were the sculptor Georg Wrba and Josef Rauch. He had exhibited widely and was a recipient of several honors and prizes. Taschner passed away in 1913.
