"Creation of the Animals" is a notable panel from the Grabow Altarpiece, a medieval work of art created in 1383 by the German painter known as Master Bertram, or Master of Minden. This panel is part of a larger polyptych altarpiece originally commissioned for the church of St. Peter's in Hamburg and is now housed in the Hamburger Kunsthalle. The Grabow Altarpiece is considered one of the most significant examples of North German medieval art and is named after the donor, Hinrich Grabow.

The "Creation of the Animals" panel depicts a scene from the biblical narrative of Genesis, where God is shown bringing forth the various creatures of the earth. In this intricately detailed work, Master Bertram demonstrates his skill in rendering the natural world, with a variety of animals represented in a harmonious and hierarchical order, reflecting the medieval understanding of the natural order as divinely ordained.

Master Bertram's work is characterized by its narrative clarity and the delicate attention to detail. The "Creation of the Animals" panel, in particular, showcases his ability to infuse life and individuality into each creature, while also adhering to the Gothic style prevalent at the time, with its emphasis on elongated figures and stylized forms.

The Grabow Altarpiece, and by extension the "Creation of the Animals" panel, is an important artifact of Gothic art and provides valuable insight into the religious and artistic culture of late 14th-century Northern Europe. Its preservation allows for continued study and appreciation of the medieval period's approach to biblical storytelling through visual arts.
