The Landauer Altar (1511)
by Albrecht DÜRER

The third altarpiece which Dürer completed after his return from Italy also contained a multitude of figures, a panel of The Adoration of the Holy Trinity. It was commissioned in 1508 by the wealthy Nuremberg metal-smelter Matthäus Landauer for the chapel of his Twelve-Brothers House, an almshouse set up to care for a dozen elderly artisans. Dürer also designed the intricately carved wooden frame for the painting, as well as stained-glass windows for the chapel, and the project took three years to complete.
