In the Church of Corpus Christi of the Regular Canons in Cracow’s Kazimierz, a Gothic retable was founded, most likely for the high altar, to be replaced with a new one in the 17th century. It can be supposed, however, that not all the pieces of the Gothic retable were destroyed. The Author presumes that the figure of Christ, a Man of Sorrows, from St Catherine’s Church at Wolbrom, to-date identified as Baroque, comes from that unpreserved retable. The analysis of the sculpture forms demonstrates that it was executed in the 1460s. The origins of the sculpture is confirmed by the construction date of the Wolbrom church (1635), which coincided with the modernization of the church in Kazimierz. What both churches have in common is the involvement of Jan Gelazy Żórawski, who first contributed to the refurbishing of the Church of Corpus Christi and later to the decor of the Wolbrom church. The assumption that the Wolbrom statue comes from the Kazimierz church is also confirmed by its iconography: the full-figure Man of Sorrows presentation popular in Lesser Poland in 1440-60.
