Odkrycie i konserwacja renesansowej polichromii w kościele parafialnym w Polnej (pow. Gorlice)

In a seemingly styleless (seriously deformed by re constructions) wooden church a t Polna under boards of th e wall planking a rch ite c tu ra l paintings of medium-class, coming from the 18th century have been found. However, in the sanctuary under the above paintings some th irty high-class paintings have been discovered dating as fa r back as to the 16th century most of them depicting the scenes from the life and passion of Christ. On completion of a full scientific survey of the damaged 18th century p a in tings they were removed from the sanctuary and the Renaissance paintings have been disclosed and subjected to conservation. In the nave, where the 16th century paintings are preserved in the relic form only, the classical decoration has been left.
