Michael Pacher’s final commission was to create a winged altarpiece on a monumental scale for Salzburg’s former parish church (now the Franciscan Church). The shrine alone of this Marian altarpiece must have been almost six meters high. These two paintings depicting the Betrothal of the Virgin and the Flagellation of Christ once formed the interior and exterior of a panel painted on both sides, originally more than twice this size. At an unknown point in time, the former altarpiece wing was cut down and the front separated from the back.
