Waldner’s most important commission for the court was the creation of the F�rstenchor, a projecting oratory built of wood above the left choir-stalls of the Hofkirche in Innsbruck. He worked on the two south window axes, while the northern section was completed by the joiner Conrad Gottlieb between 1567 and 1571. This splendid intarsia work is an outstanding example of Renaissance craftsmanship. The doors show the influence of the Italian grotesque style and differ from the rest of the paneling in the way the ornamentation is concentrated on the middle of the intarsia section; in the other intarsia-decorated areas perspective strapwork is used.

The photo shows a view of the choir of the Hofkirche.
