François-Nicolas Kessler
Born in 1792.
Died in 1882.
François-Nicolas Kessler is recognised as a sculptor and lithographer. He studied under Georg Volmar in Bern and subsequently under David d’Angers in Paris, which undoubtedly had an influence on his artistic career. Kessler contributed to the restoration of St Nicholas Cathedral in Fribourg, a significant project in his career.
After 1828, he worked primarily in Fribourg, where he left a notable mark in the fields of sculpture and lithography.
