The Fugger Chapel, designed and decorated by the German artist Jörg Breu the Elder (c. 1475–1537), is a significant Renaissance art piece located within the St. Anne's Church in Augsburg, Germany. Commissioned by the wealthy Fugger family, one of the most influential mercantile and banking dynasties in Europe during the 16th century, the chapel serves as a mausoleum for the family members and a testament to their power, piety, and patronage of the arts.

Constructed between 1509 and 1512, the Fugger Chapel is an exemplary work of the period, showcasing the transition from late Gothic to Renaissance art styles in southern Germany. Breu the Elder, a prominent Augsburg painter, and designer of the time, was tasked with the chapel's artistic conception, which included the design of the architectural space, the altarpiece, and the intricate frescoes that adorn the interior.

The chapel's architecture is characterized by its harmonious proportions and the incorporation of innovative Renaissance elements, such as the use of the barrel vault and ornamental pilasters. The interior is richly decorated with frescoes that depict scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and Christ, as well as images of saints and members of the Fugger family. These frescoes are notable for their vivid coloration, detailed representation, and the integration of contemporary fashion and iconography, which reflect the cultural and spiritual aspirations of the Fugger patrons.

Jörg Breu the Elder's work on the Fugger Chapel is considered one of his masterpieces and contributes significantly to the understanding of the artistic landscape in early 16th-century Germany. The chapel not only embodies the artistic skill of Breu but also serves as a cultural landmark that illustrates the intersection of art, religion, and the socio-economic status of the patrons who commissioned it. Today, the Fugger Chapel remains an important historical and artistic site, attracting scholars and visitors interested in Renaissance art and the legacy of the Fugger family.
