Tilmann Riemenschneider - German Medieval Sculptor

The video provides a tribute to the 15th Century German Sculptor Tilmann Riemenschneider and his times and his craft.

It portrays the times when God was the center of community life, and woodworkers were hired to create images of the holy family and the disciples..

The video details the ancient art of carving linden timbers and placing them in a place of devotion.

This brief video focuses on a few aspects of his life=story, and avoids many of his excellent carvings and his tragic end - so we can focus on his talents.
