Pietà
Wood Sculpture at the "Cloisters" site of the Metropolitan Musem of Art
(Lindenwood, Polychromy, and gilding)
Originally from Jagst-Neckar region, 1435-1440
from the Cistercian convent of Himmelpforten Bavaria, near Wurzburg.
The lyrical naturalism of the figure heralds the beginnings of the German late Gothic style.

eine sehr rustikale Figurengruppe, bei der allerdingsalles da ist, wo es hingehört.
Das "traurige Gesicht" der Frau ist dem Künstler hervorragen gelungen. Ebenso das Ableben der männlichen Figur.
Tschüssing gemblue,
