The article concerns Veit Stoss' works associated with Italy. His possible relationships with Italians in Krakow - Stoss came to Krakow in 1477 - are discussed here and suggestions are offered for the broader context within such contacts might have taken place. Like the figure of St Roche in SS. Annunziata and the Crucifix in Ognissanti, the sepulchral plaque of the Italian humanist Filippo Buonaccorsi, cast by the Vischers, offers additional evidence of Stoss's artistic associations with Italy. It is suggested that it might have been this exiled Tuscan scholar, diplomat, and secretary of two Polish kings, Filippo Buonaccorsi, known by his classical name Callimachus Experiens, who facilitated Stoss's possible contacts with Italy.
