This homogeneous, incographicly extremely rich painting decoration of the evangelic church in Kocel'ovce (district of Rožňava) is highly evaluated in professional literature. Early-Gothic single-nave building from the beginning of the 14th century has all of its inside presbyteri sheath, including arches and window jamb, covered with wall-paintings. The painting decoration runs in three stripes one over another. In the lower stripe on the southern wall of the presbyteri among Passion scenes there is also a scene from The Descent From the Cross. Here an epic of a bigger format appears in the style of the master from Kocel'ovce in the development of monumental painting, thus creating a picture series and covering all free surface with paintings. One can observe his inclination towards gotization of the Italian-Byzantine formal basis. Most of literature agrees on high evaluation of the paintings in Kocel'ovce and dates them into the period around the year 1400 up to the first quarter of the 15th century. Since the period of renaissance the paintings had been whitewashed. They were re-discovered in 1894. In 1904 they were restored by I. Groh.
