Assumption of the Virgin, center panel of Creglingen Altarpiece. I really liked this piece by Tilman Piemenschneider, mainly because of the framework and the sharp/rigid detailing. The figures look very troubled rather than having the emotionless expression that you see on many sculptures in this Era. This emotional strain helps bring the piece to life, as well as heighten the spirituality of the figures.
