Summary/Abstract: There is an interesting collection of icons in the Parish Museum in Grybów. Although their exact provenance is unknown, it is clear that they are here thanks to Jan Solak, the parish priest of St. Kateryna’s church in Grybów from 1921 to 1961, who moved them from nearby churches deserted after Operation Vistula. On the basis of stylistic analysis and comparative studies, it was possible to see that most of them came from workshops which operated in Lemkovyna during the 17th century. The studies presented here concern two previously unknown icons from the circle of Muszyna painters. These are two fragments of the apostolic tier from an unknown church. As a result of detailed research, it was possible to identify the stylistically closest works (from Matysowa, Banica, Brunary), assign the time of creation (c. 1640), find the next part of the described apostolic row in the Regional Museum in Nowy Sącz and determine its provenance (Brunary).
