Veit stoss biography of barack

In 1504, in spite of the restriction on his movements, Stoss travelled to Munnerstadt and painted the altar of Tilman Riemenschneider. In 1506 he was arrested again for a brief period.

Nevertheless, his artistic ability was highly respected and the commissions continued to arrive. In 1512, the Emperor requested his input for the planning of the Imperial tomb in the Hofkirche, Innsbruck. Between 1515-20, he worked for a rich merchant called Florentine Raphael Torrigiani, who paid for several church sculptures in an attempt to guarantee his place in heaven.

One such item of sculpture, very famous now, is Tobias and the Angel (1516), now in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg.

In 1523 Stoss began work on another important work of Biblical art, namely, The Virgin Altarpiece of Bamberg Cathedral.

Originally made for a Carmelite convent in Nuremberg, it was subsequently transferred to Bamberg by Stoss' son during the reformation.
