The Isenheim Altarpiece is a masterwork of German Renaissance art, created by Matthias Grünewald (also known as Mathis Gothart or Gothardt) around 1512 to 1516. This polyptych altarpiece, which originally adorned the altar of the Monastery of St. Anthony in Isenheim (now in France), is renowned for its vivid and emotionally charged depiction of religious scenes. The first view of the altarpiece, when closed, presents a harrowing and detailed portrayal of the Crucifixion, flanked by images of Saint Sebastian pierced by arrows and Saint Anthony, the patron saint of the monastery.

Grünewald's work on the Isenheim Altarpiece is characterized by its dramatic use of color and light, as well as its expressive figures that convey intense suffering and devotion. The central panel of the first view is particularly noted for its graphic representation of Christ's tortured body, which reflects the suffering of the patients at the monastery's hospital, who suffered from skin diseases such as ergotism. The stark realism and emotional depth of the Crucifixion scene contrast with the serene and hopeful images of the Madonna and Child and the Resurrection, which are revealed in the subsequent views of the altarpiece when the wings are opened.

The Isenheim Altarpiece is considered one of Grünewald's greatest achievements and a seminal piece of Northern Renaissance art. Its complex iconography and innovative approach to religious subject matter have made it an object of extensive scholarly study and a key attraction at the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, where it is currently housed. The altarpiece's powerful imagery continues to inspire awe and reverence, making it a pivotal work in the history of Western art.
