Note du spécialiste

COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:
J. Weingartner, Die Kunstdenkmäler Südtirols, Innsbruck, 1973.

Christian Greiner the Younger and Elder both worked in the South Tyrolean regions of Vientschgau and Brixon. And, although the figure of St. Valentine is not signed or dated, it appears likely it is by the same hands or workshop as the other figures.
