Old Lithuania in the Watercolours of Napoleon Orda

Exhibition catalogue of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, Volume XLI

 

The catalogue of the international exhibition "Old Lithuania in the Watercolours of Napoleon Orda" tells the story of the life, work, and development of Napoleon Orda (1807–1883), one of the most versatile 19th-century Lithuanian creators and public figures, and also reveals the architectural landscape of 19th-century Lithuania: religious buildings, cityscapes, castles, palaces, and manors, as well as the legacy of families who fought for Lithuanian statehood, meticulously captured in the artist's watercolors. 

 

The introductory texts and descriptions of the exhibits in the catalogue are published in Lithuanian and English.
