The early modern goldsmithery in Chojnice (Konitz) has so far been outside the main area of scholarly research. The search in archives and libraries conducted for the purposes of the article, as well as the analysis of preserved works crafted by local masters, has therefore brought a lot of new, previously unknown information on the subject. Chojnice is a typical, small centre of goldsmithery, which remained overshadowed by Gdansk, a powerful hub of crafts located nearby. For nearly whole of the eighteenth century only a single workshop operated in the town, and a new master usually appeared only after the death of his predecessor. The research yielded information about five goldsmiths operating in Chojnice in that century, as well as one apprentice who died before becoming a master. Nearly all of them were connected by various family ties. Only a few works of art created in the Chojnice workshops were identified, but they bear the signatures of only two masters who were active in the last third of the eighteenth century. Johann Friedrich Felsch I (1744–1808) made several items for the churches nearby: an incense boat in Chojnice, a monstrance in Bysław, a monstrance base in Wiele and a reliquary cross in Tuchola, as well as a set of six spoons, currently stored in the collection of the Malbork Castle Museum. It is worth noting that his works, apart from the master’s mark, bore a sign that proved he was a member of the guild of goldsmiths in Malbork. Johann Gottlieb Jantzen (1742–1772), Felsch’s brother-in-law, delivered a monstrance to the church in Jeleńcz (now in Tuchola), and a frame for the worshipped statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the Bernardine Church in Zamarte (now missing). All these items represent an average level of artistry, and show considerable dependence on the style developed by the masters from Gdansk, where both goldsmiths active in Chojnice studied their craft.

In different periods, Christian wall paintings have visualised various attitudes towards programmes, images and iconographies that were closely linked with the religious identities of communities. Following the emergence of nationalism in Georgia in the mid-19th century, wall paintings of this period also began to respond to national identity. The chronological limits of this article are determined by crucial events in the history of the country, such as the conquest of East Georgia by the Russian Empire in 1801 and the proclamation of the independence of the Democratic Republic of Georgia in 1918. Between these two events, a number of church paintings was created throughout Georgia. Some of them fully intended to promote the Russian imperial identity and served to consolidate the power of the Empire over the conquered country. While others, reflected the ideas and aspirations of Georgian nationalism. They are very different from the medieval examples displaying a growing interest in national saints and the events of Christian Georgian history. This paper is focused on the most significant examples.

W różnych okresach chrześcijańskie malarstwo naścienne wizualizowało różnoraki stosunek do programów, obrazów, ikonografii i było blisko połączone z religijną identyfikacją społeczeństwa. Pod wpływem rozwoju nacjonalizmu w Gruzji w połowie XIX w. malarstwo naścienne również zaczęło odpowiadać potrzebom identyfikacji narodowej. Ramy czasowe artykułu zakreślają najważniejsze wydarzenia z historii tego kraju, takie jak podbój Wschodniej Gruzji przez Imperium Rosyjskie w 1801 r. i proklamowanie niepodległości przez Demokratyczną Republikę Gruzji w 1918 r. Pomiędzy tymi dwoma wydarzeniami w Gruzji powstało wiele malowideł sakralnych. Niektóre z nich miały na celu promowanie poczucia przynależności do Rosji i służyły konsolidacji władzy imperium nad podbitym krajem. Inne odzwierciedlały idee i aspiracje gruzińskiego nacjonalizmu. Różniły się one od średniowiecznych realizacji, ukazując wzrastające zainteresowanie narodowymi świętymi i wydarzeniami z historii gruzińskiego chrześcijaństwa. W artykule omówiono najbardziej znaczące ich przykłady.
