After field research, archival and literature queries in Poland and abroad, it became possible to more accurately present the eponymous, so far only mentioned, the early fifteenth-century wood-carved crucifix from Sartowice: a small town located in the immediate vicinity of Grudziądz. The type of Gothic Crucifixes from the area of the former order of the Teutonic Order State has been extracted, constituting an original concept. Unpublished photographs were presented: some photos came from private collections as well as particularly valuable ones found in traditional archives. The state of research as well as a detailed formal description were made. In addition to comparative methods regarding stylistic and typological features, Henri Bergson’s concepts were used, as well as comparative methods of constructing types in the history of art in relation to e.g. solutions to similar problems introduced by Kenneth John Conant and the subsequent discussion around them. In addition, methodological and terminological insights by Jan Bialostocki and Wladyslaw Tatarkiewicz were applied. The category of Gesamtkunstwerk was given a new meaning and a broader scope than before. The uniqueness and considerable significance of Sartowice was outlined, referring to the rich history of this village and related historical, cultural, folklore and art history issues, as well as the value of the impressive Vistula River landscape. Artistic analogies to the eponymous crucifix, which had not been previously put forward, were proposed. Furthermore, the purpose of the article, using specific examples and through the formulation of the above-mentioned type of sculptures, was to more accurately outline the artistic landscape of the Teutonic Order’s rule around the first half of the 15th century.
