Tilman Riemenschneider德国, 1460–1531可否一睹真容?
正对公众展出。由谁担保,见下文。
This figure of a kneeling angel is one of a pair. They were designed to flank the tabernacles that held the Holy Sacrament in a Christian church.
This pair are similar to other pairs of kneeling angels by the German sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider (died 1531). The pairs in Rotheburg and Würzburg are larger and more elaborate. The V&A pair are more like a pair in Eisenach. This suggests that two standardised types were produced.
