Summary
The authors compare the history, techniques and technologies employed in the making of two Gothic panel paintings from the Lesser Poland. Despite differences in painting layers, the supports reveal similarities in the execution of the woodwork. The authors put forward the hypothesis that the panels were made in the same carpenter’s shop, which has left mark on them. They also stress the fact that both paintings have been worshiped for ages, which in both cases has resulted in many repairs and over-paintings, suggesting that there could be an interesting link between the Gothic panel paintings from the Lesser Poland and those from some other, lesser known, European centers, in which the existence of the same type of panel paintings has been documented.
