Ukrainian, Czech Born in Buchach Baroque, Rococo
Settling in Buchach, Pinsel quickly established himself as a favored artist within Potocki's circle. This synergy is particularly evident in projects like the Buchach Town Hall (1750s) and the Trinitarian Church (1756-1757), where architecture and sculpture coalesce into a unified expression of Baroque grandeur. Despite his prolific output, Pinsel’s life ended relatively early, between September 16, 1761, and October 24, 1762, likely in Buchach.
