The Passion (Greverade) Altarpiece is a notable work by the German-born painter Hans Memling, created in 1491. This polyptych, which is a multi-panelled altarpiece, was commissioned by the wealthy Lübeck merchant Ludger tom Wedde for the chapel of the Greverade family in the Marienkirche (St. Mary's Church) in Lübeck, Germany. The altarpiece is renowned for its intricate detail and the vivid portrayal of the Passion of Christ, a theme central to Christian art of the period.

The Passion Altarpiece is a testament to Memling's mastery of Early Netherlandish painting, a style characterized by its remarkable attention to detail, use of vibrant colors, and complex iconography. The work is divided into several panels, each depicting a different scene from the Passion narrative, including the Crucifixion, the Entombment, and the Resurrection of Jesus, among others. The central panel is particularly striking, often drawing the viewer's attention with its dramatic representation of the Crucifixion.

Memling's use of oil paint allows for a rich depth of color and a delicate rendering of light and shadow, which brings a lifelike quality to the figures and landscapes. The altarpiece also reflects the influence of Italian Renaissance art, which Memling would have been exposed to during his travels or through the work of his contemporaries.

The Passion (Greverade) Altarpiece is not only a work of religious significance but also an important cultural artifact, reflecting the artistic, social, and economic contexts of late 15th-century Northern Europe. It remains an essential piece for understanding the development of panel painting and the spread of Renaissance ideas north of the Alps.

Today, the altarpiece is housed in the St. Annen-Museum in Lübeck, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic beauty and historical importance. Its preservation allows for ongoing appreciation and analysis, contributing to the broader understanding of Hans Memling's oeuvre and the artistic landscape of the time.
