Работа Миколая Вольшейда в монастыре Пажайслис: реконструкция исторической реальности

Abstract

This article examines the work of the sculptor Mikolaj Volscheid, who worked at the Pažaislis Camaldolė Monastery until 1676. The main part of his work - eight stone statues - has not survived. On the basis of the visual iconographic material, documentary and literary descriptions, the multi-layered iconographic program of the monastery decoration in question, as well as the surviving remains of several sculptures, the expression of the lost sculpture is reconstructed in different ways and considered in the context of the monastery decoration in Pažaislis.
