Andreas von Jerin Silver Altar, Mannerist silver altar in Wrocław Cathedral, Wrocław, Poland.

The Andreas von Jerin Altar is a mannerist work housed in Wrocław Cathedral, crafted predominantly from silver. The center depicts religious figures against a fabric backdrop, while four hinged wings on either side contain painted scenes and additional silver statuary.

A bishop commissioned this work in the late 1500s, representing an enormous financial commitment of the period. This substantial investment reveals how important such artistic works were to the church of that era.

The right wing holds silver figures of Saint Andrew and Saint Hedwig of Silesia, the left those of John the Baptist and Vincent of Saragossa. Below them are small silver medallions tied to the founder: his coat of arms on the right, a profile portrait on the left. The wings' backs carry Bartholomaeus Fichtenberger's paintings of John the Baptist's life, with Bishop Jerin shown in the Jordan sermon scene.

The altar stands in the presbytery of Wrocław Cathedral as its main altar since December 2019, so it is seen during a visit to the church rather than in a separate museum room. The wings with Fichtenberger's paintings are opened only on certain occasions; when closed, the painted panels face the viewer. Look for the founder's portrait in the scene of John the Baptist preaching by the Jordan.

The silver figures survived the 1632 sack by Swedish and Saxon troops because they had been hidden before the city was taken; the soldiers stripped the silver plates from the altar's rear walls instead. The main oak cabinet, left in the presbytery, burned on 2 April 1945. The wings went to Szamotuły after the war and returned to Wrocław in 1966.
