The Paumgartner Altar is a triptych oil painting by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, completed around 1503. Commissioned by the Paumgartner family, prominent citizens of Nuremberg, the work was intended for the family's chapel in St. Catherine's Church in Nuremberg. This altarpiece is notable for its combination of religious iconography with portraiture, as it features the likenesses of the patrons within the religious scenes.

The central panel of the triptych depicts the Nativity of Jesus, showcasing Dürer's skill in rendering the human figure and his use of perspective to create a sense of depth. The Virgin Mary and Joseph are presented in a stable with the Christ Child, surrounded by angels, with a detailed landscape visible in the background. The left and right wings feature St. George and St. Eustace, respectively, each slaying a dragon and a stag, symbolizing their martyrdom and Christian faith. The figures of Stephan Paumgartner and his brother Lukas are integrated into these scenes as observers, a practice that was becoming increasingly popular in Northern Renaissance art.

The Paumgartner Altar is significant for its artistic and cultural value, as it reflects the transition from the late Gothic to the Renaissance style in Northern Europe. Dürer's use of innovative techniques, such as the application of atmospheric perspective and a naturalistic approach to the human figure, marked a departure from the more stylized and symbolic art of the preceding era. The altarpiece is also an important example of Dürer's early work and provides insight into the religious and social context of early 16th-century Germany.

Today, the Paumgartner Altar is held in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and Dürer's mastery of painting.
