Die Ausmalung der Friedhofskapelle in Riffian. Meister Wenzel, Südtirol und böhmische Kunst um 1400

The wall paintings in the Marian Chapel in Riffian in South Tyrol are dated 1415 and signed Wenclaus. The article sets these works in the broader art-history context and interprets them as a political-religious allegory, reacting to the events of the Council of Constance. The painted figure of the emperor is identified as Sigismund of Luxembourg.
