ENThis article explores the significance of graphic art in inspiring and immortalizing works of art, focusing on five examples of 18th-century Dominican and Franciscan painting and sculpture in Vilnius, Lithuania. The analysis centres on images of the founders of both orders, St. Dominic and St. Francis. The article examines the context of their creation, potential primary sources, and the importance of their graphic reproductions. Iconographic similarities between the altar painting of St. Dominic from the Church of Sts. Philip and James and engravings based on the works of Pieter de Bailliu and Abraham van Diepenbeeck demonstrate the influence of mid-iyth-century graphics from Antwerp on Vilnius. The stucco moulding of St. Dominic in the Church of the Holy Spirit likely draws from the famous sculpture by Pierre Le Gros the Younger for the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome, as well as its reproduction in an engraving published by Johann Baptist Klauber in Augsburg. The image of St. Francis by Gerard Seghers and its reproduction by Lucas Vorsterman the Elder inspired the composition of two paintings: The Stigmatization of St. Francis from the Franciscan Observant Convent of St. Michael and the altar painting from the Franciscan Conventual Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The altar painting of St. Francis at the Church of St. Michael was likely based on a work by Bernardo Strozzi. Though the last two examples of Franciscan art in Vilnius no longer survive, their compositions are preserved in 19th-century graphic reproductions in the. Album of Vilnius by Jan Kazimierz Wilczyński. These examples of Vilnius Baroque art illustrate the various functions of graphic art: inspiring new works, disseminating imagery, and perpetuating artistic legacies.
