About 1960 during bricklayer’s works carried out in St Mary’s Church in Gdaństk, the workers of a Gdańsk Divisionof the Ateliers for Conservation of Cultural Property found out in a south aisle of the presbytery in St Jacob’s Chapel the existense of polychromy under old whitetewashes. It was then stated that was the painting depicting a detail of Last Judgement. The work on this wall painting has been recently resumed. The white-was-hes have been removed uncovering, for technical reasons, only small parts. The uncorvered painting has a form of a narrow belt (1,4 m wide and 9,3 m high). Conservation and restoration work was carried out by a team of workers from the Toruń University of Nicolaus Copernicus. After removing the remaining parts of white-washes from the painting with scalpes and bread crumb, plaster loosened from the base was cemented with a 15—25R/o water emulsion of vinyl poly acetate (Talens, Holand) with the addition of whiting as an extender. A serious problem represented yellow stains appeaning on the surface of the painting caused by a migration of ferric salts during smoothing down the blisters. It was possible to remove the staining partially by putting wet compresses from wood-wool. Attempts to impregnate blisters from inside with solutions of Paraloid in toluen and of PMB in acetone ended in failure. The missing parts in the painting were done with hatching (trateggio). Preserved parts of polychromy made it possible to reconstruct the form and colours of basic elements. Water-colour paints made by Talens and Winsor Newton were used for retouching. A preliminary stylistic analysis suggests the effect of Czech painting, pronounced in particular in the figure of St Jacob. A full hictoric and iconographie interpretation will be possible only after the uncovery of all polychromy.
