The Jabach Altarpiece is a significant and monumental work of Northern Renaissance art by the German painter Albrecht Dürer, created between 1503 and 1504. This altarpiece, named after the patron who commissioned it, Matthäus Jabach, was originally intended for the St. Martin's Church in Cologne. The work is a triptych, a common format for altarpieces of the period, consisting of a central panel flanked by two wing panels that can be closed over the central scene.

The central panel of the Jabach Altarpiece depicts the Adoration of the Magi, a popular subject in Christian art illustrating the biblical story of the three wise men visiting the infant Jesus. This scene is rich in symbolic detail and showcases Dürer's mastery of composition and his ability to convey narrative through art. The left wing of the triptych presents the Annunciation, the moment when the Angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will bear the Son of God. The right wing completes the religious narrative with the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, where the infant Jesus is recognized as the Messiah by Simeon.

Dürer's work is renowned for its intricate detail, use of color, and the fusion of Northern European art techniques with Italian Renaissance ideals, which he had studied during his travels in Italy. The Jabach Altarpiece is no exception, as it demonstrates his skill in the use of oil paint, a medium that allowed for greater precision and depth of color than the tempera commonly used in Northern Europe at the time.

The altarpiece is also notable for its portrayal of the human figure and the use of perspective, which Dürer had refined through his theoretical studies and previous works. The figures in the Jabach Altarpiece are rendered with a sense of volume and individuality, while the use of perspective gives the composition a coherent spatial depth that was innovative for Northern Renaissance art.

Today, the Jabach Altarpiece is housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and as a prime example of Dürer's contribution to the development of Renaissance art in Northern Europe.
