Image and Text. Southern-Netherlandish Ten
Commandments panel (tiengebodenbord)
from St. Jacob 's Church in Szczaworyz, Poland
During a restoration of a 17th century painting
depicting Virgin with Child (from St. Jacob's Church
in Szczaworyż) carried at the Academy of Fine Arts
in Kraków in 2013, a damaged Southern-Nether-
landish Ten Commandments panel (tiengebodenbord)
was discovered. The panel in question formed a base
on which the catholic image had been stretched and it
had been cut off to match its size (104.5> <73.5 cm). In
this paper the author attempts to reconstruct its
historical, artistic and confessional background,
iconography and the linguistic analyses of the
commandments serving as the main point of
reference. Having compared the text with thel6th
century Dutch translations of the Bible, then, having
placed the work in the context of similar panels
depicting Moses (actually, only 6 of them exist), and
finding out that both the text and image are in many
cases inconsistent with the reformed doctrine, the
author comes to conclusion that the discovered
painting may be the earliest example of a tienge-
bodenbord known and can be dated at ca. 1570-1580,
i.e. at the time when the Calvinist programme of the
church interior decoration was gradually crystallizing
in the Netherlands. Moreover, the panel could have
come from the Netherlands to Gdańsk, where it was
most possibly joined with Virgin with Child and the
gilded silver clothes and crowns were added in the
workshop of Hans Paul Junge in ca. 1660.
