'''Georg Pezolt''', also '''Petzoldt''' or '''Petzold''' (8 May 1810, [[Salzburg]] - 28 October 1878, Salzburg) was an Austrian painter, architect and art critic, who became the first monument [[Conservator-restorer|conservator]] in Salzburg.

== Life and work ==
He served a apprenticeship with the [[still-life]] painter, . At the age of seventeen, he accompanied him on a trip to Italy, with an archaeological expedition for which Wurzer was serving as a sketch artist. He returned to Salzburg in 1837, where he initially focused on painting, but would later issue a book of 144 [[lithograph]]s; ''Most interesting points from Salzburg, Tyrol and the Salzkammergut''.

After 1850, he began to spend more time devoting himself to other tasks. Through the high esteem for his work expressed by [[Friedrich Prince zu Schwarzenberg|Archbishop Schwarzenberg]], and his later work as a conservator, he came to have a significant influence on [[ecclesiastical art]] in the region. He was also a significant contributor to the development of the [[Salzburg Museum]] and was a respected member of the [[Salzburger Kunstverein]] (Artists' Association). In addition, he took some students; notably [[Josef Mayburger]], who was only four years his junior.

At first, he favored imagery based on ancient [[Roman art]], but gradually became more attracted to the work of the [[Nazarene movement]], which created an intellectual conflict with his scholarly pursuits. Although generally praised, he came under some criticism for relying too much on his imagination, rather than research.

What may be his most notable restoration involved the tower of the [[Franciscan Church, Salzburg|Franciscan Church]], built in 1498. His only original architectural work was the "Borromäus Church", in [[Neo-Byzantine]] style, on the Mirabellplatz in the district. It was demolished in 1972.Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)
