Der Dreikönigsaltar Innentafeln: Anbetung der Könige, der Heilige Georg und der Heilige Mauritius

Baldung's Dreikönigsaltar (Three Kings Altarpiece) from 1506 is one of his early masterworks, demonstrating his formation in Dürer's Nuremberg workshop and his subsequent development of an independent approach in the Upper Rhineland. The altarpiece combines the Adoration of the Magi with wing panels depicting Saints George and Maurice—the patron saints of chivalric and military virtue—in a devotional program suited to the civic and aristocratic patronage that sustained Baldung's career in Strasbourg. The 1506 date places this among his first major independent commissions after leaving Dürer's workshop, and the work's ambitious composition and technical refinement demonstrate the confidence of a painter who had absorbed the lessons of Germany's greatest master while developing his own distinctive approach to color, expression, and the rendering of complex narrative scenes.

This work demonstrates Hans Baldung Grien's command of Renaissance-period painting techniques.
