Arcade friezes, composed of crossing arches, originating from Lombardy, comprise the most characteristic decorative motif of Late Romanesque brick buildings in Central and Northern Europe. An analysis of thirteenth-century friezes, conducted from the viewpoint of the manner of their display, leads to the conclusion that the backgrounds of the friezes were whitewashed or plastered for the purpose of a more marked emphasis of their form and outline. In a number of the examined thirteenth-century monuments (churches: Cistercian in Mogiła, Franciscan and Dominican in Cracow) extant fragments of the original plaster in the background of the friezes appear to confirm the thesis about the principle of their original display based on a contrast of the red arcades and the white plaster of the backdrop. The so-called castellated friezes, usually accompanying arcade friezes, made of bricks placed diagonally, were also tinted, a fact which up to now remained unnoticed. Their colouristic impact, consisting in a contrast of the white and the red, usually assumed the form of colouristic alternation: red bricks occurred interchangeably with whitewashed bricks. The plastering of the background of the arcade friezes and the painting of bricks in the castellated friezes rendered legible and enriched the architectonic forms of the usually rather modest brick Romanesque buildings, introducing additional accents.
