The article deals with Albrecht Duerer's relations to Eastern Europe - direct and indirect dealings of the Nuremberg based artist with artists and patrons from Poland and Prussia to Hungary and Romania. The essay is intended merely as an introduction to the topic and to some of the issues the subject raises, for example Nuremberg's international business ties, direct links to Eastern European patrons (e.g. Johannes Thurzo, bishop of Breslau), influence of Duerer's prints (e.g. on the Apocalyptic Virgin and Child Epitaph, c. 1520 (?), now in the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava), activities of Nuremberg's artists in Eastern Europe (e.g. Veit Stoss in Krakow) or questions of the collectible Duerer (e.g. Feast of the Rose Garland obtained by the emperor Rudolf II in 1606).
