After the overtaking of the church by Protestants, mural paintings in St Jacob’s Chapel in the Church of Our Lady in Gdańsk dating back to the thirties of the 15th century were painted white and until recently no one has known of their existence. This article is the second report published by the same authors on paintings in St Jacob's chapel. The first of them („Ochrona Zabytkow", 1983, nos 3 -4 , p. 258) concerned paintings on the buttress depicting a figure of Saint Jacobs and a scene of the Last Judgement, which were uncovered, preserved and restored in 1982. The present article contains a report of the uncovering, preservation and resoration of paintings on the walls of the altar's niche. The work was completed in 1986. The paintings in the niche depict the Holy Trinity, passion scenes from The Last Supper to Descent from the Cross as well as The Entombment and Descent to the Limbo. The two conservation projects, diffe rin g from each other with the employed method of making-ups, on tho buttress "tra tte g io ", in the niche "w a sh ing ", provided inspiration for a number of purposes and methods of restoration. These considerations provide the basic content of the present article. There was some reflection on whether or not and how to restore and how to reconcile some inconsistency between the value of the monument as a document and its d id a c tic and aesthetic function in a sacral in te rior. Qu o ting various voices and opinions the authors en deavoured to substantiate the decision to undertake reconstruction. A separate place was devoted to the method of introduced complements. An analysis was made of the reconstruction carried out on the buttress by the „tra tte g - g io " technique and its theoretical assumptions were considered. As a result of that „tra tte g io ” was replaced with washing, using water-colours fo r that purpose. To illustrate d ifficu ltie s encountered by the executor, restoration work on some scenes was described. Attention was paid to the importance of an iconographie interpretation to the form of making-ups introduced and the need fo r cooperation with an a rt historian in this field. Of interest is an inconsistency described herein of the historian and the conservato r in the scene of "The Entombment". Finally, the authors draw a ttention to the importance of a clear formulation of assumptions, thanks to which it is possible to foresee a fin a l form of the executed conservation project.
