Veit Stoss (Vitus Stoss)

Veit Stoss (before 1450–1533), in Polish Wit Stwosz, was a German sculptor probably born at Horb am Neckar, whose dramatic wood carvings stand between late Gothic and the Northern Renaissance. He settled in Nuremberg in 1473 and in 1477 moved to Kraków, where his workshop completed the huge altarpiece for St Mary's Basilica in 1489; he also made Casimir IV's tomb in Wawel Cathedral.

Back in Nuremberg from 1496, Stoss was branded for forgery in 1503 and pardoned by Emperor Maximilian in 1506. Vasari called his Florentine St Roch a miracle in wood.
