"Presentation of the Virgin, from the Dome Altar, 1499" is a notable work by the Northern Renaissance artist Absolon Stumme. This piece is part of the larger altarpiece created for the main altar of St. Mary's Cathedral in Hamburg, Germany. The artwork, crafted at the cusp of the 16th century, depicts the biblical event of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary in the Temple, a subject frequently illustrated in Christian art, symbolizing Mary's early dedication to God.

Absolon Stumme, who was active in Hamburg, is recognized for his contributions to Northern German art and is often credited with introducing the style and techniques of the Dutch and Flemish Renaissance to the region. His work on the Dome Altar is particularly significant as it represents a fusion of local Gothic traditions with the emerging Renaissance ideals of naturalism and perspective.

The "Presentation of the Virgin" panel is characterized by its intricate detail, use of vibrant colors, and the careful arrangement of figures within a convincingly rendered architectural setting. The composition typically shows the young Mary ascending the Temple steps, with various figures, including her parents Joachim and Anne, in attendance. Stumme's interpretation of this scene would have been designed to inspire devotion and reflect the theological significance of Mary's role in the salvation narrative.

As an important example of Stumme's oeuvre and Northern Renaissance art, "Presentation of the Virgin, from the Dome Altar, 1499" holds a place of esteem in the study of late medieval and early modern religious artwork. It is not only a testament to Stumme's artistic skill but also provides insight into the cultural and spiritual life of Hamburg at the turn of the 16th century.
