Caravaggio. St Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy

Caravaggio. St Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy

20260604

"The Ecstasy of St. Mary Magdalene," a masterpiece by Caravaggio, one of the most famous masters of the Baroque era, was presented in Lithuania for the first time. 

This international exhibition presents the painting “St Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy”, a work considered lost since the early 17th century. Caravaggio probably took it with him on what was to be his final journey to Rome, hoping that Pope Paul V would pardon his death sentence for murder. Alas, the artist never managed to reach Rome – exhausted from an illness on his journey, he died not far from the town of Porto Ercole.

This is a rare opportunity to see a work by a genius up close in Lithuania. Only for one month – until June 29 – at the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania!

During their visit to Lithuania, the Swedish royal couple visited the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. On Monday, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden met with Lithuania’s first couple at the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. A reciprocal reception for the Swedish royal family was held there.
 
The guests were greeted by Dr. Vydas Dolinskas, Director General of the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. Queen Silvia of Sweden was pleasantly surprised when Dr. Dolinskas addressed her in her native German. Dr. Povilas Dikavičius, Chief Guide of the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, invited the royal couple to take a tour of the palace. The distinguished guests listened with great interest to Dr. Dikavičius’s narration, asked questions, and took their time before heading to the reception hall, where guests were already awaiting King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia.
 
This is the third time the Swedish royal couple has visited the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania.
