The Housealtar of Count William II of Hessen 1508 is a notable artwork by the German Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder. This semimanent altarpiece, created in 1508, was commissioned by Count William II of Hessen, a significant patron of the arts in the late Medieval period.

The altarpiece showcases Cranach's fine adherence to detail, his knowledge of anatomy, and his distinctive, vivid color rendering. Despite the strong influence of Catholic religious iconography prevalent in the era, the painter's style shows a dramatic departure from the conventional representations of biblical narratives, which is a nod towards the upcoming Protestant Reformation.

The central panel depicts the Crucifixion of Christ, a common theme in Cranach's works, surrounded by scenes from the Life of Christ that traverse across the wings. In line with the devotional purpose of an altarpiece, these elements were intended to guide, inspire, and motivate spiritual introspection in viewers.

The Housealtar is an exemplary work that further adds to the depth of Cranach's contribution to German Renaissance art. While indubitably tied to religious settings, Cranach's art transcended the traditional and religious narrative expressions of his time, offering a more intimate and human experience.
