Fig. 1. Crucifixion group, Tilman Riemenschneider and workshop, circa 1500, lindenwood, Hessisches Landesmuseum, Darmstadt
“Riemenschneider, one of the most important artists during the transition period from late Gothic to the Renaissance, created works largely of religious subjects.” His customers included the Church and wealthy citizens. His first, prominent commissions that could be seen by the general public, primarily altarpieces and crucifixion groups, founded his artistic reputation and helped him establish a flourishing workshop in Würzburg.
