Department of Conservation of Works of Art in Gdańsk has carried out the conservation of the panel pentaptych of church a t Marianowo, an extremely complex object of art. The a lta r consists of one-sided painted predella, a reta b le and a carved cornice. The scenes of „The Passion of Christ", which are painted on the whole altar, represent, in the opinion of some art historians, a fine example of 17th cent, painting in northern mannerism. Other historians suggest that the paintings might have been executed at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. During an in itia l examination of the predella and two wings older, laid underneath layers of paintings were discovered. Small parts of the older layers were uncovered. Technological investigations were also carried out and X- ray photographs taken. It has been shown that older paintings on the two wings depict two saints: Christopher and Matthew the Apostle. They can be regarded as wonderful masterpieces. The lack of documentary evidence relating to the alterpiece does not allow us to establish their provenance. The analysis from a historical point of view of both the exposed details and drawings based on X-ray photographs suggest their relation with A. Durer’s workshop. They seem to have a strong resemblance with the works executed by the master and his assistants: Hans Baldung Giren, Hans Schaufelein, Hans Kulmbach in the period 1500—1505. We can assume that Hans Baldung G. was the author of the faces of the saints painted on two wings of the altarpiece at Marianowo. Probably the altarpiece had two additional, internal wings presenting St Catherine and St Barbara. These paintings were executed by H. Baldung about 1505. As the time of the creation of the older alterpiece from Marianowo one could consider years between 1505—1506. Despite all the artistic and historic values of these paintings they were not exposed. The main reason of such a decision were difficulties connected with a separation and transfer of the outer paintings on a new base.
