Więcej o książce

The book features a collection of scholarly articles exploring various aspects of German sculpture and art from the 15th century onwards. It begins with an introduction and a congratulatory section, followed by in-depth studies on topics such as the "Italianization" of German Vesper images and the contributions of notable sculptors like Hanns Sweicker and Jakob Kaschauer. The text discusses the Freising high altar and the influence of Multscher in the Neckar region. Additionally, it addresses attributions to Niclaus Gerhaert von Leyden and examines the Münnerstadt altar by Tilman Riemenschneider. Other contributions include insights into Martin Lebzelter's work in Basel and the sculptor Enciras Maurus in Kempten. The volume also delves into the fate of the Wettenhausen high altar and features a piece by Melchiorre Caffà in wood. Further discussions include the tomb of Johann Schlüter and significant works by Christoph Daniel Schenck housed in the Getty Museum. The book concludes with notes on Paul Egel's Mannheim high altar and the figurative adornments of Johann Georg Nessfeld's planetary machine, along with a bibliography and an index for reference.
