EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Bust of Saint Urban" carved by Tilman Riemenschneider around 1500. Crafted from linden wood, this remarkable piece stands at an impressive 55.2x33x17.8 cm and is housed in the prestigious Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, Ohio, USA. Riemenschneider's attention to detail is evident in every inch of this wooden masterpiece. The bust depicts Saint Urban, a revered figure in Catholicism known for his role as Pope during the early 3rd century. Adorned with a papal tiara and bishop's mitre, he holds attributes that symbolize his identity - grapes representing wine-making and a Bible signifying his religious authority. The artist's skillful carving brings Saint Urban to life, capturing his serene expression and dignified presence. This work exemplifies the artistic style of the Northern Renaissance period with its meticulous craftsmanship and devotion to biblical themes. As we gaze upon this half-length portrayal of Saint Urban, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of the 16th century when such masterpieces flourished. The intricate details invite us to explore every curve and contour while contemplating the significance behind each element depicted. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only Riemenschneider's talent but also how art has transcended time to preserve history and inspire generations beyond its creation.
