The Altarpiece by Veit Stoss in Press Sources from the 19th to the 21st Century (Critical review of Dariusz Raś, Prasa. Historia. Jakość. Studium metodologiczno-badawcze na temat publikacji prasowych wokół ołtarza Wita Stwosza w XIX, XX i XXI wieku)

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an original monograph on press sources concerning Veit Stoss’s altarpiece from the 19th to the 21st century. The study is interdisciplinary, as it combines a significant historical source, namely the press, which has been an important resource for centuries, with the transmission of culture, religion, art, and language. It also falls within the scope of cultural heritage communication. The work addresses a gap in the research on the mediaticity of Veit Stoss’s altarpiece ‘as a unique object’ in the context of its four comprehensive conservation treatments. The book considers 250 press accounts from Kraków published between 1867 and 2022. The author’s scholarly approach, source analysis, the validity of the research questions, the results of the analysis, and the compiled literature on the subject were all evaluated.
