Veit Stoß (um 1447-1533) war ein Bildhauer und -schnitzer der Spätgotik. Er war vor allem in Krakau und Nürnberg tätig. Erstmals 1477 erscheint er in den Quellen, als er nach Krakau ging, um sein erstes Hauptwerk, das Hochaltarretabel der dortigen Marienkirche (bis 1489) und weitere Werke, u. a. das Grabmal des polnischen Königs Kasimir IV. Jagiello in der Krakauer Kathedrale (1492) zu schaffen. Reich geworden kehrte Veit Stoß 1496 nach Nürnberg zurück, wo er steinerne und hölzerne Skulpturen fertigte, zuerst das mit Namen und Meisterzeichen versehene Relief der Volckamerschen Gedächtnisstiftung (1499). In Nürnberg schuf Veit Stoß u.a. den Bamberger Altar, beauftragt 1520–1523 für das Karmeliter-Kloster Nürnberg; wegen der Reformation kam er zunächst in die Kirche Unserer Lieben Frau in Bamberg, 1937 dann in den Bamberger Dom. In den Köpfen seiner Figuren spricht sich innige und zarte Empfindung aus; die Formengebung ist noch gebunden und der Faltenwurf von der Manier des spätgotischen Stils beherrscht. (Wiki) Illustriert mit 100 S/W-Abbildungen. Nachdruck der Originalauflage von 1906.
