• Resumen

  • This represents the author´s latest scholarship on Michael Pacher, about whom he has been writing since 1969. Using the monographic exhibition of 1998 in Novacella (Neustift) as a point of reference, the author offers a complete re-examination of Pacher, to whose earliest period he attributes a small Madonna with a bunch of grapes in the Diocesan Museum in Bressanone; he uses specific comparisons to demonstrate the relationship between Pacher and his anonymous fellow-countryman known as the Master of Uttenheim, as well as showing his awareness of Lombard art after a sojourn in Milan; and he confirms his reconstruction of the artist´s late phase, culminating in the Salzburg years. The article concludes with a presentation of two rare unpublished works: a panel (unfortunately fragmentary) in the Diocesan Museum in Bressanone with the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine, a youthful work from the period of the altarpiece for San Lorenzo in Val Pusteria (c. 1465); and a wooden sculpture of Saint Catherine in the Museum in Ulm � already recognised as a faithful copy of the saint in Hans Multscher´s altarpiece for Vipiteno � which may thus be Pacher´s first surviving work in carved wood.
