Freski w grzędzickiej świątyni - "zapomniany" zabytek średniowiecznej sztuki kościelnej

Abstract

The temples in the Szczecin-Kamień Archdiocese owe much of their décor to Protestants, who at the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century, that is after the acceptance of Lutheran confession in 1534 at the regional council in Trzebiatów by the West Pomeranian nobility, took over the Catholic churches of this land. That is why their décor is very ascetic in its form. All the more valuable in our time are the relics of the sacred art that have survived to the present day in virtually unchanged Medieval form. Such a relic is frescoes located in a small rural church devoted to St. Apostles Peter and Paul in Grzędzice. This work of an anonymous artist, though little known to lovers of Medieval art, can be tan object of great aesthetic experiences. It would be valuable for the frescoes from Grzędzice to be more present in the guidebooks commemorating various types of works of art that can be seen in the West Pomeranian Province.
