The Late Baroque Church Interiors of Livonia within pre-Partition Poland

The article, published in English, describes the 18-century church interiors in Polish-administrated Livonia. The researcher concludes that the heritage of this region is different from late-Baroque monuments found elsewhere in Latvia. Although some motifs and basic principles of historical styles are universal, their arrangement and composition is different, testifying to alternative sources behind the artistic impulses. The ‘Polish-Livonian” interiors stand out through the plasticity of their décor; particulary in respect to the stucco finish.
