art is heaven

Whitaker Auction

Riemenschneider was one of the most prolific and versatile sculptors of the transition period between late Gothic and Renaissance, a master in stone and limewood. His sculptures and woodcarvings are in the late Gothic style, although his later work show mannerism characteristics. His work is characterized by the expressiveness of their faces and by their detailed and richly folded clothing. The emphasis on expression of inner emotions sets Riemenschneider's work apart from that of his immediate predecessors.
