Where it came from
Published in 1998 by Druck und Verlagshaus Thaur, this volume by Berta Reichenauer serves as a scholarly documentation of the Pacher Altar, a late Gothic masterwork located in the pilgrimage church of St. Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut region of Austria. Created by the Tyrolean artist Michael Pacher between 1471 and 1481, the altarpiece is celebrated for its synthesis of Northern woodcarving traditions and Italian Renaissance perspective techniques, representing a pinnacle of 15th-century European ecclesiastical art.
Berta Reichenauer’s work provides a comprehensive visual and historical analysis of the complex structure, which features a central carved shrine surrounded by elaborate wings painted with scenes from the life of the Virgin and Saint Wolfgang. The book was designed to provide art historians and pilgrims alike with a detailed reference point for the altar's intricate iconographic program and the technical restoration efforts that have helped preserve its legacy over several centuries.
