Add to basketNeuware -Elias Kessler hat die Bildhauerkunst in der Stadt Stralsund und deren Umland bis über seinen Tod hinaus geprägt. Seine zumeist aus Lindenholz gehauenen, barock bewegten Skulpturen schmücken Altaraufsätze, Kanzeln, Taufen, Epitaphien, Gestühle, Beichtstühle, Kapellenschauwände und Patronatsemporen. Hinzu kommen Tauf- und Pultengel, Kruzifixe, Wappen, Arbeiten an Grabplatten und Gussmodelle für den Dekor von Glocken. Das Verbreitungsgebiet dieser Werke reicht von Rostock und Freyenstein im Westen bis nach Lassan und Neuwarp (Nowe Warpno) im Osten.Der reich bebilderte und zum Teil mit Regesten aus archivalischen Quellen versehene Katalog umfasst 62 Werke. Neben den vielen erhaltenen Stücken werden auch die durch historische Fotografien überlieferten Kriegsverluste wie die reichen Schauwände von Erbbegräbnissen der Stralsunder St. Jakobikirche dokumentiert, ebenso verschollene oder nur archivalisch überlieferte Arbeiten wie die Tafelaufsätze für ein Festbankett auf der Brauerkompanie anlässlich der Huldigung nach der Rückkehr an Schweden 1721.Über die Herkunft Elias Kesslers (um 1670/80 - 1730) ist nichts bekannt. Er wurde 1707 angeworben, um die Arbeiten am neuen Hauptaltar der Stralsunder Nikolaikirche nach Entwürfen des Berliner Schlossbaumeisters und Hofbildhauers Andreas Schlüter fortzusetzen. Eine Ausbildung an der Berliner Akademie unter Schlüter ist zu vermuten. Es folgte der Skulpturenschmuck des mächtigen Taufgehäuses in der Nikolaikirche um 1710-1714. Erst 1719 konnte sich Kessler als Bildhauer in Stralsund selbständig machen. Der größte Teil der Arbeiten entstand in den 1720er Jahren. Seine Schüler und Nachfolger, darunter sein Geselle Michel Müller, der 1731 die Witwe des Meisters heiratete, führten das Werk bis um 1760 fort.Viele Werke Elias Kesslers konnten in den letzten Jahren aufwändig restauriert werden - bei anderen besteht noch immer dringender Bedarf.
