Abstract

St. John Baptist Church, dating back to the fourteenth century, is one of the most important monuments in Radom, which was renovated numerous times in its history. All of these works have affected on the present character of the Gothic building. Nevertheless, walking inside the church we have a feeling of cohesion and style unity. One of its constant interior design element is contemporary wall paintings by Waclaw Taranczewski, created at 1971–1972. Its feature is a rich religious and historical iconography indicating the importance of St. John Baptist Church and its role in regional and Polish history. The wall paintings are an excellent example of Taranczewski’s monumental works. Interior decoration design at St. John Baptist Church seem to be one of the most complete artist’s monumental work, especially because it has survived without any transformation that could have been destructive for its historical matter.
