Description

Detail of Tilman Riemenschneider's "Blood Altar" depicting a scene from the Last Supper at St. James's Church in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bavaria. This stunning work was carved between 1501 and 1505 from a single piece of limewood and is the centerpiece of a grand, ornate altar.

Riemenschneider was born in 1460 and was a renowned artist in Bavaria by the end of the 15th century, working in both limewood and stone. He died in 1531 after loosing his great status following the German Peasant's Revolt of 1525. Only when his gravestone was discovered in 1822 between Würzburg Cathedral and Neumünster was his outstanding position in Gothic sculpture recognized by a wider audience. Riemenschneider acquired true fame only posthumously. He was one of the most prolific and versatile sculptors of the transition period between late Gothic and Renaissance, and a master in stone and limewood.

How so powerful is this 15th Century sculpture, probably mostly unknown worldwide, but for your capture so striking. I am amazed that limewood is this colour: it is so vivid!! And, from your Description, I am glad to learn he finally earned his 'due' long after his demise, poor soul. Thank you: for this homage to a devout Artist and his 'craft'. Kudos,FAV, (I love each character so finely described by the Master Riemenschneider. ).......VIVA
