Abstract	This session is dedicated to the different types of networks, which linked works of art in the Middle Ages. Dariusz Tabor discovers the networks of artistic creations, based on the network of Cistercians convents in whole Europe. Piotr Pajor examines great urban reform of the city of Kraków undertaken in 1257. The new layout of Kraków is an example of the spread of regular urban forms in 13th-century Europe, which is observed, among others, in France, Italy, or the Empire. Adam Spodaryk tries to outline networks and entanglements between painters, their clients, other craftsmen, city, state, and ecclesiastical authorities. The article also deals with artistic networks - local and transregional.
