Beschreibung
The altar of Castle Tyrol - a reliquary retable with painted wing panels - was created around 1370/72, making it probably the oldest altarpiece in the Alpine region. In preparation for its restoration, from 2016 to 2021 it was examined in the Tyrolean Museum of Provincial History using art-technological means. Studies of the wooden construction were implemented with the help of X-rays and 3-D models. The painting technique and materials were examined using a stereo microscope, infrared reflectography, and sample analyses. In addition to analysis of the restoration history, the altarpieces origin and its installation in the former Castle Tyrol, a reconstruction of the details of depiction and the ornaments of the patrons brocade vestments was completed. The results of research on the impressive 14th century reliquary retable are now being presented in this publication.
