Alois Lang (1872–1954) was a Master Woodcarver at the American Seating Company, and one of the artists responsible for bringing the medieval art of ecclesiastical carving to life in the United States. Lang was born in Oberammergau in Bavaria, a town long known for its excellence in wood carving. He was apprenticed to his cousin Andreas Lang around the age of 14, spent one year's study with the great wood sculptor Fortunato Galli in Florence, Italy, and moved to the United States in 1890 at the age of 19. Lang first found work in Boston carving elaborate mantelpieces for Back Bay families. In 1903, he moved westward and joined the American Seating Company of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, moving with the firm to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1927. Lang became well known as a prominent ecclesiastical wood-carver. An article in a 1946 newsletter states that “recently the Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters presented him with a special award for his contribution to art in Michigan.” His carvings can be found in numerous buildings, mostly churches, throughout the United States, including: * Peachtree Christian Church, Atlanta, Georgia * Rockefeller Chapel, Chicago, Illinois * Christ Church Cathedral, Springfield, Massachusetts (reredos, narthex portal and screen) * Christ Church, Cranbrook, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan * Emmanuel Episcopal Church, La Grange, Illinois (Last Supper, reredos originally installed in Christchurch, Chicago, Illinois) * National Shrine of the Little Flower, Royal Oak, Michigan * St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Grand Rapids Michigan * Christ Church, Boston, Massachusetts * All Saints Church, Pasadena, California * , Great Falls, Montana * Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, Lansing, Michigan * Christ Episcopal Church, Ottawa, Illinois * First (Park) Congregational Church, Grand Rapids, Michigan * The Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Rockford, Illinois * Wicker Park Lutheran Church, Chicago, Illinois * Grosse Pointe Memorial Church, Grosse Pointe, Michigan * Christ Episcopal Cathedral, Salina, Kansas * Hope Church (Reformed Church in America), Holland, Michigan * Zion Evangelical United Church of Christ (Indianapolis, Indiana) * St. Marcus Evangelical & Reformed (United Church of Christ) (St. Louis, Missouri) * St. John's Episcopal Church, Detroit, Michigan * Central United Methodist Church, Detroit, Michigan.
