This astounding wood sculpture was created in 1501-1504 by Tilman Riemenschneider of Würzburg, whose talent was considered comparable to that of Albrecht Dürer. My son said it looked as though the figures were straining to escape the wood, it felt so real. The piece is housed in the Jacobskirche. Entrance fee? 1.50 euro. A bargain, I'd say.
