Nicolaus Haberschrack (Polish: Mikołaj Haberschrack ) worked as a painter and sculptor in Kraków from around 1454 to 1486 , at that time the seat of the Polish king. He was one of the established and leading painters of the capital of Poland at that time.

The artist, who was presumed to come from the Upper Rhine for a long time from his training , was verifiably from Krakow . Listed in sources in 1473 as Nicolaus pictor de cracovia alias de nova villa , he settled in the then newly founded district of Nowa Wies (Neudorf) , where the Haberschrack family had been based for generations. Because of his name (mhd. For grasshopper ) he was said to have had Austrian and southern German relations for a long time; it was believed that he had returned to Krakow in 1454 following an apprenticeship in Vienna in the wake of the future Queen Elisabeth von Habsburg .

His main work includes the high altar of St. Catherine's Church in Kazimierz, a district of Krakow, which the Augustinians ordered in 1468. The eight well-preserved panels of the multi-part retable are now in the palace of Bishop Erasmus Ciołek, which belongs to the National Museum in Krakow , and in the Wawel Cathedral . In 1467 he designed the triptych of the Holy Trinity for the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Krakow Cathedral - one of the most outstanding late Gothic works of art.
