Middle picture of the Annenberger Altar (detail)

For the George altar in Ambras Castle , Scheel created the panels with the saints Achatius and Sebastian in 1515 , which bear the facial features of Karl V and Ferdinand I. The carved representation of St. Georg comes from Sebold Bocksdorfer.

The Annenberger Altar was created in 1517 for the chapel of Annenberg Castle in Vinschgau and is now in the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum . It shows the Tyrolean noble family Annenberg as a holy clan in contemporary garments. The background is a representation of Innsbruck, the second oldest view of the city after that of Albrecht Dürer .
