The paper presents introductory research of medieval wall painting in Bosnia and Herzegovina as the basis for future, more detailed elaboration of this subject. Periodisation is established, showing two groups of wall paintings, the earlier one from the 11th century until the first half of the 13th century, and the subsequent one between the second half of the 14th century and the first half of the 15th century. The subsequent group of wall paintings is related to the pro-Catholic orientation of the last Bosnian kings, the strengthening of influence of the Franciscan order, and the presence of Dubrovnik colonies. The wall paintings related to royal residencies in Bobovac and Jajce, the most significant sites of Bosnian medieval art, particularly stand out in the aforementioned group.
