The St Wolfgang Altarpiece - Nativity (1479–1481) is a prominent late-Gothic work by Austrian painter and sculptor, Michael Pacher. This altarpiece, housed in the pilgrimage church of St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut in Austria, is lauded as Pacher's most renowned and fully realized work.

The Nativity scene, part of the largerarpiece ensemble, is one that epitomizes Pacher's unique visual narrative style, incorporating elements of International Gothic as well as nascent Northern Renaissance influences. Predominantly comprised of lime-wood polychrome sculpture and oil painting panels, this piece manifests Pacher's mastery in both mediums, an unusual integration during the time it was created.

The Nativity brings together various religious narratives, centralizing the birth of Jesus Christ. Continuity and complexity are attained by integrating the tableau seamlessly into the ensemble of the high altar. The scene is characterized by an architectural frame, a commonly witnessed element in Pacher’s work, which supplements an additional spatial depth enhancing the three-dimensionality of the figures.

Evocative details such as the weary and vulnerable depiction of the Virgin Mary, reflecting the exhaustive toll of childbirth, underscore Pacher's capacity to intertwine vivid Biblical narrative with humanistic attributes. The notable influence of Netherlandish detail, localized color, meticulous attention on textile representation, and dramatic play of light and shadow can be seen portrayed here.

Pacher's St Wolfgang Altarpiece - Nativity, with its fusion of painting and sculpture, its grandeur, and emotional depth, marks a pivotal moment in the history of Western art, serving as testament to the evolving artist's aesthetic during the late middle ages.
