Around 1500, bronze casting was still in its infancy north of the Alps. While Italian bronze-casters crafted their modelli in wax and clay, Netherlandish and German sculptors still worked from carved wooden models. Their figures – like this pair (which comes from Stift Heilingenkreuz, a Cistercian abbey near Vienna) – thus look rather stiff.
