3. HISTORICAL
RECONSTRUCTION
"I propose to take 1583-1584 route of M.K.Radvila Našlaitėlis’ (the
Orphan) (he was best known for ordering the first accurate map of the
Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) in 1613) journey to the Holy Land.
This historical figure is important in a deeper perspective, too. In 1586,
right upon returning from this journey, he funded early baroque Jesuit
Church of Nesvyžius built imitating Il Gesù of Rome consecrated in 1583.
This fact testifies that the cultural phenomena of Western Europe
reached Lithuania and the GDL without delay. Thus, the fact may be deeply
conceptualised envisaging in it Lithuania’s becoming a genuinely integral
part of Europe as early as in the 16th c."
Prof. Dr. A. Bumblauskas
