    The conservatory works of wall paintings ("Syrinx and Pan", "Parys Court", "Romantic Landscape”) in the arcades of the Branicki Palace in Bialystok have been completed as part of the "Walk in the Past" project.

    Three of the many wall paintings preserved to the present are located in the column galleries of the Branicki Palace, the headquarters of the Medical University of Bialystok. The painting showed Roman wars and mythological scenes. These paintings were the work of the famous frescoist Jerzy Wilhelm Neunhertz from 1737-1738. They were thoroughly renovated along with repainting in 1754 by the court painter of Jan Klemens Branicki - August Herliczka. In 1836, the frescoes were seriously damaged during the reconstruction of the Palace. They were unveiled again after 1945. Conservation of paintings took place in 1973 and then in 1993-1995.
