Adam Kraft , c.1455-1509, German sculptor of Nuremberg. He moved from an ornamental late Gothic style toward clarity, symmetry, and a powerful use of rounded, organically constructed figures. His decorations for the Schreyer family tomb (c.1490) in the Church of St. Sebald in Nuremberg and his openwork tabernacle (1493-96) for the Church of St. Lawrence typify his earlier style. His later manner may be seen in his Stations of the Cross (1505-8; Nuremberg). Kraft was notably adept at blending architectural and sculptural forms.
