Third Generation

7. Joannes (Johann) DA JACO¹⁵ was born on 19 Jul 1693 in Campill/Longiarü in Tyrol (Crownland of Austria). He died on 6 Jun 1765 in St. Martin in Val Badia, Tyrol (Crownland of Austria), at Laguscél.

He lived in Land Tyrol, a crownland of Austria.

The 18th century was a tumultuous for most of Europe, but the quiet Land Tyrol was barely influenced by modernization, or the Age of Enlightenment. The Austrian government concluded as a result of several recent crises (Austrian War of Succession 1740-48 and the Seven Years War 1756-63) that reforms were necessary to avoid a future partitioning of the Empire by expansionist neighboring states.

Through centuries of church influence and sponsorship, the Tyrolean national pride became manifest in churches, cathedrals, cloisters, and monasteries beautifully constructed by the Master Craftsmen. The natural beauty of this Alpine region is complimented with religious artwork, carved statuary, and the painted frescos of the local shrines created by Master Artisans. Guilds or associations for craftsmen were established to provide craftsmanship standards and promote commerce and trade. In addition to the construction crafts of carpentry and masonry, the artistic skills of wood carving, painting, and sculpture were considered Guild crafts. A Master craftsmen could establish his own shop, and hire Journeymen skilled in the craft or trade from earlier years as apprentices. Apprentices would be enlisted by the Master craftsman to learn the craft too. It could take several years for a Journeyman to become a Master craftsman, and required a demonstration of great skill.
