Ekkehard and Uta are among a group of life size sculptures of 12 ancestors of a bishop who was a member of the ruling family of Naumburg.
The ancestors were patrons of the church; their images were placed in a new chapel at the west end of the church.
Unlike the more idealized French Gothic sculptures, Ekkehard and Uta are treated in a highly individualistic manner, in a style akin to Greek Hellenistic.
They reveal a strong naturalistic trend in German Gothic Sculpture

4. andachtsbild - sculpture serving for private devotion
andachtsbild were devotional images that were intended to inspire contemplation of Jesus’ last hours.
The subject matter of the Pietà - subject of Mary supporting the dead body of Christ originated in Germany during the 1300’s
The artworks called the "Vesperbild" had a representation of the seated Madonna holding Christ’s body across her lap.
the works were paintings, but usually they were small sculptures that had been carved out of wood or made out of terra cotta.
In comparison to Ancient Greek and Southern European sculptures, the Northern works looked primitive and awkward without realistic considerations for human forms or weight distributions.

5. Title: Church of Saint Francis, Assisi, Italy restored
one of the world's focal points of both high art and intense spirituality.
Still a major place of pilgrimage, the Basilica of St. Francis is a powerful place for believers and art-lovers alike.
The impressive frescoes that decorate the interior were painted by Cimabue, Giotto and others
In 1818, the tomb of St. Francis was rediscovered beneath the high altar, after lying hidden for almost 600 years. When the coffin was opened, Francis' skeleton was found fully intact. This is very rare for such a popular medieval saint - had his relics not been hidden, bits of them almost certainly would have found their way into shrines across Europe
