Heller Altar (detail) by Albrecht Dürer is a notable fragment of a larger altarpiece originally commissioned for the Dominican church in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The Heller Altarpiece, completed between 1507 and 1509, was a collaborative effort between Dürer and Matthias Grünewald, another prominent German Renaissance artist. The altarpiece was commissioned by Jakob Heller, a wealthy merchant and councilor of Frankfurt, and was intended to serve as a testament to his piety and social status.

Albrecht Dürer, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and mastery of various artistic techniques, was responsible for the central panel of the altarpiece. This central panel depicted the Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin Mary, a common theme in Christian art that celebrates the Virgin Mary's ascension to heaven and her crowning as the Queen of Heaven. The altarpiece was a polyptych, consisting of multiple panels that could be opened and closed, revealing different scenes depending on the liturgical calendar.

The detail from the Heller Altar that survives today showcases Dürer's exceptional skill in rendering intricate details and lifelike figures. This fragment, like much of Dürer's work, demonstrates his deep understanding of human anatomy, perspective, and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism. The surviving detail is a testament to the high level of craftsmanship that characterized Dürer's contributions to the altarpiece.

Unfortunately, the original Heller Altarpiece was dismantled and lost over time, with only a few fragments and copies remaining. The surviving detail provides valuable insight into the artistic practices of the Northern Renaissance and Dürer's significant role within that movement. Today, the fragment is preserved and displayed in various art institutions, allowing contemporary audiences to appreciate the enduring legacy of Albrecht Dürer's work.
