In 1980, on commission of the voivodeship conservator office, investigation work was carried out on the plaster layer covering the interior wall of the Holy Trinity church, from the first half of the 14th cent., in Działoszyce (Kielce voivodeship). Studies revealed that underneath the coat of paint on the presbytery walls there is a damaged layer of baroque and Renaissance paintings which in turn cover Gothic paintings of the second half of the 15th cent. The process of uncovering the Gothic layer on the presbytery's northern wall and partially in the eastern part of the many-sided closing of the presbytery was completed in 1987. This complicated procedure was executed by the conservators: Krystyna and Henryk Gujda from Cracow. On the northern wall of the presbytery the paintings did not survive entirely intact. In the upper part they were damaged by the domes and pilasters that had been added on. The guiding line engraved while building the capitals by the wall is still visible In the course of work on the Renaissance paintings, the Gothic layer had been covered with whitewash. The Gothic paintings had been placed on a very uneven surface of plaster. The paintings were best preserved in the hollows. Their condition did not require any strengthening work. No pulverizing process was detected in the paint layer. In the case of the Gothic interior decoration the liming technique was used : wet and dry liming (with the addition of casein or glutin glue). The paintings display a wide range of colour hues (the whites, silver and violet greys, warm and cool yellows, blues, reds, browns, greens and blacks). The contours of the drawings are outlined by a black shade of varied intensity. In scenes that take place inside houses the painter has attempted to create a three-dimensional composition by introducing vault ribs, keystones, thickened by the black colour of the window contours etc. In addition, the artist has differentiated the colours of the attire, the manner of arranging the hair of indiviual figures etc. The facial features, usually turned en trois quarte, are expressive. The cheeks, painted with red, underline the plasticity of the face. The halos of the Virgin Mary and Christ are ornamented in different ways. The backgrounds of subsequent sections differ not only in colour, but also in the type of ornament. The Gothic painting on the presbytery’s northern wall illustrates the respective verses of Credo. The painting in Działoszyce is the first representation of Credo Aposto/orum found on Polish land. The twelve-section composition consists of rectangular areas enclosed in straight frames and is divided into three levels, with four areas in each level. The sections are filled with either one or multi-topic presentations. On the eastern wall, which constitutes a many-sided closing of the presbytery, a large composition has been uncovered — The Tree of Je s s e . On the southern wall and in the window embrasures a plant ornament has been found. Gothic paintings filled out ihe rectangular northern wall and were dominant in the interior of the presbytery. They form a narrative series, distributed in the traditional regions. Associations with tableau painting can be discerned here. The condition of the painting made it necessary to remove the subsequent pulverized and exposed layers of Gothic paintings. Separation of the painting layers was impossible for technical reasons. The unique character of the Credo presentation was one reason for exhibiting the Gothic layer. Also, the painting is an excellent example of the manner of copying paintings from published graphic works in the Gothic age. The painted presentation of Credo is a rarity and in Poland the only entirely preserved version to date. Moreover, the paintings are an interesting example of illustrating the basic truth of the faith in order to bring them closer to the wide circles of people of those days.
