German Renaissance art falls into the broader category of the Renaissance in Northern Europe, also known as the Northern Renaissance. Renaissance influences began to appear in German art in the 15th century, but this trend was not widespread. Gardner's "Art Through the Ages" identifies Michael Pacher, a painter and sculptor, as the first German artist whose work begins to show Italian Renaissance influences. According to that source, Pacher's painting, "St. Wolfgang Forces the Devil to Hold His Prayerbook" (c. 1481), is Late Gothic in style, but also shows the influence of the Italian artist Mantegna.
