Sculpture

Arguably the pre-eminent German sculptor of the late Gothic period, Tilman Riemenschneider is celebrated for his distinctive, authentic manner of representing the human physiognomy in his favoured medium of limewood. His instantly recognisable figures are characterised by a fine sense of plasticity, combined with a profound psychological sensitivity.
