Bamberg Horseman and Imperial Tomb: Art History Within Reach
The gaze of the Bamberg Horseman is one of the great mysteries of the medieval image world. Right next to it, the Imperial Tomb created by Tilman Riemenschneider unfolds its narrative power: five scenes, finely carved in stone, connect faith, power, and human closeness into a dense cultural panorama. This short tour starts exactly where Bamberg is world-famous. ([kultur.bamberg.de](https://kultur.bamberg.de/_plaza/kuba.cfm?veranstaltungid=416773))
