Hans von Judenburg
( fl 1411–24). Austrian painter and wood-carver. He is named in 1411 and 1424 as a house-owner in Judenburg. He was head of an altarpiece workshop there and is mentioned as the maker of the former high altar retable of the town parish church of Bozen (now Bolzano), which was commissioned in 1421 and completed in 1424. Most of its figurative parts survive. In the shrine (centre panel) was a three-figure group of the Coronation of the Virgin (Nuremberg, German. Nmus.), together with St John the Baptist and St Vigilius (Cologne, Schnütgen-Mus.). The wing reliefs with scenes from the Life of the Virgin are scattered among various collections and the parish church of Deutschnofen (now Nova Ponente, Italy). The fragments indicate the style of at least two different wood-carvers. The composition of the Coronation of the Virgin, which goes back to Italian and South Tyrolean types, was the model in particular for the altarpieces of MICHAEL PACHER, whose contract for the Gries altarpiece specifically committed him to following the example at Bolzano.
