Czternastowieczny fresk z motywem Matki Bożej współdźwigającej krzyż w architektonicznej przestrzeni dwunawowej fary w Bolkowie
The Fourteenth-centure Mural with the Motif of Our Lady Jointly Carrying the Cross with Jesus in the Architectural Space of the Two-aisle Parish Church in Bolków

Summary/Abstract: The Gothic murals and medieval architectural details recently discovered in St Hedwig's Church in Bolków have shed new light on the early history of the church's architecture. They proved the church was transformated in the 3th quarter of the 14th century into a two-aisle hall, and not as it was supposed into a three-aisle layoud. Among remains of Gothic murals dating to three or four historical phases, survived the representation of the Our Lady Jointly Carrying the Cross with Jesus. This is the oldest in Polish pictoral interpretation of the compassio Mariae idea. The painting dating from ca 1360, displays clear iconographic affiliation with the scene On the Way to Golgotha of the Passion cycle from ca 1350 in St Leonard's Chapel in Landschlacht (Altnau) on Lake Constance.
