The High Altar of St Mary (detail of the Lamentation) is a remarkable piece of late Gothic art created by the renowned German sculptor Veit Stoss. This intricate work is part of the larger High Altar of St. Mary's Basilica in Kraków, Poland, which is considered one of the most significant and impressive altarpieces of its time. Veit Stoss, who was active during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, is celebrated for his masterful woodcarving and his ability to convey deep emotion and intricate detail in his works.

The Lamentation detail is a poignant representation of the sorrow and grief following the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This scene is characterized by its dramatic composition and the expressive figures that populate the tableau. Stoss's skillful carving brings to life the anguish and mourning of the Virgin Mary, the apostles, and other figures who are depicted with a striking realism that captures the viewer's empathy and attention.

The High Altar itself, completed between 1477 and 1489, stands as a monumental testament to Stoss's artistic prowess. It features a central panel depicting the Assumption of Mary, flanked by scenes from her life, including the Nativity and the Dormition. The Lamentation is one of the many detailed scenes that adorn the altarpiece, each contributing to the overall narrative and spiritual impact of the work.

Stoss's use of polychromy and gilding enhances the visual impact of the altarpiece, adding depth and vibrancy to the meticulously carved figures. The High Altar of St Mary remains a focal point of St. Mary's Basilica and a significant cultural and historical artifact, drawing visitors and art historians alike to admire its beauty and craftsmanship. Veit Stoss's contribution to Gothic art through this masterpiece continues to be celebrated for its emotional depth, technical skill, and enduring legacy in the history of European art.
