# Death of the Virgin [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, German]() - Date: 1201-1250 - Technique: Stone ## Commentary This group is on the tympanum of west portal of south transept. It is the first clear example of first-class sculpture in Germany derived in style from France. The figures are dependent on the style of the best transept sculpture of Chartres Cathedral, with influence in the drapery and the grace of the figures from the intervening sculpture at Reims. ## Related artworks - [Angel Noting down Man's Good Deeds]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar]() - [Animal column]() - [Bamberg Rider]() - [Burial chamber \(interior\)]() - [Burial chamber \(western outer wall\)]() - [Capital with bearded mask and heads]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
