The origin of these early images of the martyr is investigated by using the broader context of the images created in Vilnius at that time, and explored through an attempt to identify the wood carver who worked in Vilnius on Kuntsevych’s images during the first quarter of the 17th century. The later development of these works is examined through the copper engravings produced by Claes Jansz Visscher, an engraver and publisher who worked in Amsterdam, where these types of engravings attained the form of professional art pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Studies of Lithuania's History is the property of Lietuvos Istorijos Studijos and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
