The St Wolfgang Altarpiece, specifically "The Miracle of the Bread" panel, is a distinguished work created by the renowned South Tyrolean artist Michael Pacher between 1479 and 1481. This altarpiece is one of the most significant examples of late Gothic art in Europe and is housed in the pilgrimage church of St. Wolfgang in Austria. Michael Pacher, known for his masterful integration of both Italian Renaissance and Northern Gothic styles, has left an indelible mark on the history of art through this intricate and emotive piece.

"The Miracle of the Bread" is one of the narrative panels that adorn the altarpiece, which is dedicated to St. Wolfgang, a 10th-century bishop and saint. This particular panel depicts a miraculous event attributed to St. Wolfgang, where he is said to have provided bread to the hungry through divine intervention. The scene is rich with symbolic elements and showcases Pacher's exceptional skill in rendering human emotion and divine presence. The figures are depicted with a remarkable attention to detail, and the composition reflects a deep understanding of spatial dynamics and perspective, which were innovative for the time.

Pacher's work on the St Wolfgang Altarpiece is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its intricate woodcarving and polychromy. The altarpiece as a whole is a polyptych, combining both painted panels and sculpted elements, which together create a cohesive and immersive narrative experience for the viewer. "The Miracle of the Bread" stands out not only for its artistic merit but also for its theological significance, illustrating the saint's compassion and the miraculous power attributed to him.

The St Wolfgang Altarpiece remains a vital piece of cultural heritage, reflecting the religious devotion and artistic innovation of the late 15th century. Michael Pacher's work continues to be studied and admired for its technical prowess and its ability to convey profound spiritual themes through the medium of visual art.
