Gothic wall statuary of German cathedrals: *

The Stifterfiguren (donor figures) by the Master of Naumburg  are probably

the best-known work of early Gothic sculpture in Germany.  Situated in the

western choir, the twelve life-sized sculptures (eight men and four women)

show nobles who were among the founders of Naumburg Cathedral.

 

Shown here is the Margrave Ekkehard II and Uta, two of the twelve donor portraits
