Scott No. NB 19 pictures Veit Stoss, and was cancelled in Krakau on the First Day of Issue of the semi-postal set commemorating famous German artists. Krakau, 20 November 1942 “See the German Artists of the Generalgouvernement 1942 Art Exhibition” Veit Stoss (Polish Wit Stosz, or Stwosz) was born either in 1438 or 1447 in Swabia, Germany and died in 1533 in Niirnberg. He is considered to be one of the greatest sculptors and woodcarvers of 16,h century Germany. His nervous, angular forms, realistic detail, and virtuoso wood carving synthesized the sculptural styles of Flemish and Danubian art and, together with the emotional force and dramatic realism of the Dutch sculptor Nicolaus Gerhaert von Leyden, exercised tremendous influence of the late Gothic sculpture of Germany, especially that of Niirnberg.
