Johann Georg Born 1765, died 1848. Son of Matthäus Rief, below. Similar work to that of his father and brother, but not so highly regarded. High squarish arch with broad edge scoop. Red-brown varnish of mediocre quality. Manuscript label: Joh. Georg Rief in / Vils in Tyrol. 1794
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Seine Arbeit ist der der übrigen Mitglieder seiner Familie sehr ähnlich; nur scheint er eine etwas höhere Wölbung bevorzugt zu haben.
