The Marienaltar by Conrad von Soest is an altar retable in the Marienkirche in Dortmund from around 1420. It is considered a masterpiece of the late Gothic period and is a good example of the courtly style. Executed as a triptych, the retable is the painter's latest known work, completed shortly before his death. It is the main altar of the Dortmund church.^[1]
