Postwar discoveries of numerous Late Gothic complexes of murals in Silesia can be included into the greatest achievements of Polish conservators in recent decades. The disclosed material became an invaluable source of knowledge about the stylistic properties of murals from the second half of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth century. First and foremost, it accentuated the importance of the problem of space in the development of this domain of art during the last stage of the Gothic style. Late mediaeval sacral interiors were embellished with decorations creating a suggestive illusion of painterly and architectonic space. This feat called for the capability of analysing the optical and perceptive situation of the viewer, and the adaptation of the decorative conception to the architectonic- spatial conditions of the interior. Painters constructed space in an intuitive manner, but also upon the basis of principles close to the Renaissance geometric perspective, skillfully combined with so-called colour and aerial perspective. Those innovative attainments of the Silesian artists did not alter the fundamental functions of wall decorations, which in sacral buildings continued to serve the purposes of catechesis. The impression of integral space, connected with the presentation of the vision of sacrum, as well as architectonic space, produced a feeling of direct bonds with the world of religious transcendence and helped to understand the essence of the sacral interior and the rites performed therein. Nonetheless, in comparison with earlier works, Late Gothic murals required a greater perspective involvement of the viewer, both emotional and intellectual. Historical monuments discovered during the recent decades enhanced our knowledge about the contents, changing social determinants, techniques, and new colour solutions of murals at the threshold of the Renaissance.
