In preparation for its restoration, from 2 to 2 2 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 altarpiece's 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.
