Romanesque buildings are rather rare in Tirol, as most of them have generally been extended and modified using later architectural styles. The purest Gothic structures in Tirol are "Stubenhaus" in Hall and "Fuggerhaus" in Schwaz. Gothic carving climaxed in elaborate winged altarpieces.

In Tirol, few but precious works of art remain from the Renaissance period. A master piece of fresco painting can be found in the cloisters of the Franciscan monastery in Schwaz, depicting Christ´s passion. The finest surviving example of Renaissance sculpture is Emperor Maximilian´s sarcophagus in Innsbruck´s Hofkirche. The tomb is flanked by over 28 giant bronze figures. Other representatives of Renaissance art include the castles of Ambras, Tratzberg and Kufstein.

Austrian Baroque mirrors Italian and German Baroque. Among the outstanding examples of Baroque in Tirol are Landhaus, Dom zu St. Jakob and the Wilten basilica, a classic example of Rococo. Most important painters of the 19th century in Tirol are the historical painter Josef Anton Koch, the landscape painters Franz von Defregger and Theodor von Hörmann (Vienna Secession Movement). Leading Tirolean painters of the 20th century include Albin Egger-Lienz, Leo Putz, Paul Flora, Gerhild Diesner, Max Weiler, Eduard Thöny and Alfons Walde.
