In the hauntingly beautiful sculptures of Tilmann Riemenschneider,
the Late Gothic art of Germany achieved its highest expression.
Now, for the first time in English, the eminent art historian
Justus Bier accords Riemenschneider the extended attention he so
richly deserves. Riemenschneider ( ca. 1460--1531) holds a pivotal
place in the development of German art. Rejecting the anonymous
soulfulness of earlier Gothic sculpture, he created a style
reflecting the deeply spiritual character of his time, yet one that
also anticipated the humanism of the Italian Renaissance so soon to
revolutionize European art. Bier crowns a lifelong study with this
reconsideration of Reimenschneider's life and work, with emphasis
on works in North American museums. More than 140 photographs
illustrate 46 of the artist's major sculptures.
