Mission Rimini: The Rimini Crucifixion Altarpiece

The Rimini Crucifixion Altarpiece is considered to be one of the finest achievements of transalpine art sculpture from the 1430s. The 12 statuettes of apostles and the crucifixion scene has always attracted great interest for its enormous artistic quality and craftsmanship. Its restoration involved intensive research of a technological, geochemical and art-historical nature. These insights but also the new restoration methods are vividly illustrated in this first monograph on the Rimini altarpiece.
