Święci z kościoła w Krasnem koło Rzeszowa. Przyczynek do badań nad twórczością Stefana Matejki
The saints of the church in Krasne near Rzeszow. Contribution to the study of Stefan Matejko creativity

Summary/Abstract: In the parish of Krasne near Rzeszów there is a small church erected in the years 1742–1752 in the style of the provincial late Baroque. In 1903 in the church, stained glass windows were installed by the Cracow Stained Glass Studio of Władysław Ekielski and Antoni Tuch. Among the stained glass windows made then was one designed by Stefan Matejko. This is the first known stained glass work of that artist, preceding by a few years his other well-known projects in this field. The paper presents the characteristics of the stained glass in Krasne in relation to the later works of the artist and in comparison with the corresponding realizations in the region of the present Podkarpacie. The church in Krasne also has a kind of pseudo-window which complements the work by Matejko: a mural that imitates the stained glass showing St. Andrew Bobola. The paper presents the iconographic sources of that work and the particular context of its creation.
