Visual Storytelling: The Case of the Painting of St. Barbara in the Church in Alėjai

Summary/Abstract: The article examines a painting of St Barbara in the church of the Holy Trinity in Alėjai. The painting is believed to date from the second half of the 17th century and has not been previously studied. The study briefly reviews the history of the foundation of the parish and the manor in Alėjai, which belonged to the Dominican monastery in Raseiniai from the 17th to the 19th century. The article also discusses the history of the consecration of the church and possible ways of painting the altarpiece, using historiographical and iconographical sources. The painting is analysed using traditional methods of art research such as formal, iconographic-iconological and comparative analysis. In addition to the meaning of this work, an anthropological approach to cultural and artistic research is also applied. The composition and action of the painting are compared with images of church altars that were common in Western European countries during the Middle Ages.
