The St. Wolfgang Altarpiece - Purification of the Temple is a Gothic altarpiece created by Austrian painter and sculptist Michael Pacher between 1479 and 1481. Commissioned for the church of St. Wolfgang in Salzkammergut, Austria, the altarpiece is considered one of the most significant achievements of Pacher's career and a masterpiece of European panel painting. The altarpiece is composed of several narrative panels that feature scenes from the life of Christ, with the central panel depicting the 'Purification of the Temple.'

The Purification of the Temple component is a fine example of Pacher's ability to merge the traditions of Germanic and Italian art. The scene represents Christ driving the merchants from the temple, an episode from the New Testament of the Bible. Pacher conveys this theme in a dramatic, dynamic manner, using deep perspective and sculptural detailing to convey a sense of spatial depth. The figures are rendered with a high degree of anatomical accuracy and emotional expression, showcasing Pacher's knowledge of human anatomy and mastery of the oil painting technique.

The altarpiece as a whole and, in particular, the Purification panel is a testament to Pacher's skills as both a sculptor and a painter. It best exemplifies his innovations in using multi-panel altarpieces to narrate religious stories, serving as a crucial link between the International Gothic and the early Renaissance styles in European art history. Today, this important work of art remains housed in its original location in the Parish and Pilgrimage Church of St. Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut.
