Presentation of St. Florian

Albrecht Altdorfer depicted the Presentation of Saint Florian around 1520, part of his cycle on the life of the patron saint of Upper Austria. The scene shows an episode from Florian's story before his martyrdom. The painting is in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum Egg tempera on panel was the dominant technique of the period, demanding careful layer-by-layer construction and patient craftsmanship The work is now in the collection of Germanisches Nationalmuseum.

The narrative scene is enriched by Altdorfer's characteristic dramatic landscape setting. The Danube School's atmospheric effects create an expressive environment for the hagiographic story.
