( fl c. 1625–7). Sculptor, active in Sweden. The name derives from a group of works associated with Borsjö Manor House in Skåne, southern Sweden (under Danish rule in the 17th century). The latest work in this group is a sandstone and limestone pulpit dated 1626. Stylistically this pulpit is close to two earlier pulpits produced in Skåne, one for Lund Cathedral by Johannes Ganssog (1592) and the other, dated 1599, by Daniel Thommisen (d 1603), in the church of St Peter, Malmö. All three make use of north German Renaissance ornament, and their similar relief compositions are reminiscent of the work of Hans van Steenwinckel the younger. The assured solution of technical and spatial problems in the Borsjö pulpit, however, suggests an original hand. Various works originally at Borsjö or associated with its owners, the Marsvin family, follow the style of the pulpit. These include a relief of the Crucifixion (1627; Sofvestad Church), an oak relief of the Last Supper (Borsjö Chapel), a series of 12 oak pew ends depicting Christ and the Apostles (Lund U., Kstmus.; formerly Balkåkra Church), the pulpit at Sjörup parish church (formerly at Borsjö) and the monument to Frederik Ulfeld and his Family, originally in Borsjö old parish church (now Balkåkra Church). This carved and painted oak monument, displaying the deceased (d 1622) and his children kneeling before a triumphal arch, is enhanced by an elaborate, scrolling, Baroque frame decorated with the evangelists, putti and reliefs of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. It is signed A.S., the only clue to the sculptor’s identity.
