	NGA - Tilman Riemenschneider: Master Sculptor of the Late Middle Ages - Style (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Riemenschneider belonged to the first generation of sculptors who occasionally abandoned the customary practice of decorating their works with pigments and metal foil, producing instead uncolored sculpture.
		Riemenschneider’s favored material, limewood, or linden, is especially suitable for sculpture, since it has a homogeneous texture, making it easier to carve than oak and other woods with a pronounced ray structure.
		Riemenschneider’s sandstone sculpture is distinguished by a subtle, sensual treatment of surfaces, especially of exposed flesh, that achieves astounding naturalistic effects.

		Tilman Riemenschneider was born in Heiligenstadt, in the region of Thuringia, around 1460.
		Riemenschneider's most important commissions were executed in towns spanning the area from Ulm to just north of Wurzburg.
		But just as Riemenschneider's iconography is punctuated by certain new motifs and references--his Madonnas invariably stand on a crescent moon in an allusion to the woman described in Revelation (12:1), "clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet"--so the effects of the wood carving distinguish the style of these statues from their Gothic precedent.

		Riemenschneider's figures are nearly always clothed, their bodies hidden and withdrawn, subject to angular rhythms more in keeping with folds and angles of drapery than with bones and flesh.

		Tilman Riemenschneider was a largely forgotten sculptor from northern Germany who, though highly influential in his own time, now has few works extant or even well remembered.
		His contribution to this album seems to have been to provide the photographer with a chance to present his few surviving pieces of sculpture and to have given chronological and geographic bounds to the artists when selecting the musical works that would be performed.
		Also of interest to the amateur musicologist is the comparative selection of Alma redemptoris mater, originally a plainchant as presented, and reconstructed by Ockeghem, making the piece his own through his innovative use of polyphony, creating beautiful sounds that must make angels cry.
