Vigil Raber
Vigil Raber (born around 1490 in Sterzing , South Tyrol ; died before December 14, 1552 there) was a painter who is known primarily for his activities as an author, collector, publisher and director of secular and spiritual theater plays.
Life
Vigil Raber, “universal artist of the early Renaissance ”, was born in Sterzing in the last quarter of the 15th century as the son of a baker. First he probably attended the Latin school in Sterzing, then he learned to be a painter. From 1510 to 1522 he worked as a painter and restorer in Bolzano . From 1524 Vigil Raber lived with interruptions in his hometown Sterzing, where he continued to work as a painter. Raber probably died in 1552.

Little has been preserved of Raber's work as a painter that could be clearly assigned to him. In the course of his life he collected numerous spiritual and secular games, including the Bozener Emmausspiele , which he copied and some of which he edited and expanded himself. He also acted as a game director and actor. Raber not only participated in games in Bolzano and Sterzing, but also in Klausen , Trient and Cavalese in the Fiemme Valley.
