The Passion (Greverade) Altarpiece, also known as the Lübeck Altarpiece, is a notable work by the German-born Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling. Created between 1491 and 1497, this triptych was commissioned by the wealthy Lübeck merchant and burgomaster, Hinrich Greverade, for the chapel of Saint Luke in the Cathedral of Lübeck, Germany. The altarpiece is renowned for its intricate detail, rich iconography, and the skillful integration of Northern European and Italian Renaissance artistic elements.

In its first closed position, the altarpiece presents a grisaille depiction of the Annunciation scene, with the archangel Gabriel on the left wing and the Virgin Mary on the right, set against a stark architectural backdrop that emphasizes the spiritual significance of the moment. The monochromatic technique used in the closed view is characteristic of Memling's work and serves to contrast with the vibrant colors revealed when the altarpiece is opened.

The Passion Altarpiece is a masterpiece of religious art from the late 15th century, reflecting the devotional practices and rich cultural context of the Hanseatic League city of Lübeck. It showcases Memling's mastery in portraying complex narratives and his ability to create a sense of depth and realism through his use of perspective and light. The altarpiece remains an important example of Northern Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.

Today, the Passion (Greverade) Altarpiece is housed in the St. Annen-Museum in Lübeck, where it is displayed as part of the museum's permanent collection. Its preservation allows for continued appreciation and analysis by art historians, scholars, and the general public, offering insight into the religious and artistic milieu of the late 15th century.
