Malarstwo w Krośnie w pierwszej połowie XVI wieku – addenda

Piotr Łopatkiewicz’s book Malarstwo w Krośnie w pierwszej połowie XVI wieku (Painting in Krosno in the First Half of the Sixteenth Century), which is the author’s doctoral dissertation prepared in 2003 at the Art History Institute of the Jagiellonian University, was published in 2007. This work presents dozens of works of panel and monumental painting and attempts to link them to the Krosno art community. The analysis and characterization of the monumental material, taking into account the subject matter of the works, made it possible to reconstruct the scattered altar retables, discuss their artistic origins and original destination, and finally distinguish several groups of painting works, linking them to specific workshops. Importantly, in several cases – for the first time – it proved possible to link the works to the names of painters active in Krosno. The discovery over the past 20 years, of several important monuments of panel painting(Krosno, Humniska, Warzyce) and monumental painting (Krosno, Domaradz), prompted the author to present both the results of research work carried out recently and to attempt to link the revealed works of painting to the workshop groups identified earlier. The presented research results prove that in the field of medieval painting of the region, the time of discovery is still not over, and each new discovery, expanding the stock of known paintings, will result in the need for more addenda in the future.
