Vieno dokumento pėdsakais: Misiūnų ūkio meno vertybių 1940 m. aprašas ir jo perskaitymai
Following the trail of one document: the inventory of artworks of the Misiūnai estate of 1940 and its interpretations

Summary/Abstract: The current publication presents the inventory of the art collection of Stasys Šilingas, a political figure of the interwar independent Lithuanian state, amassed in the family’s country house in the Misiūnai estate, which was compiled in the summer of 1940 after the Soviet occupation, at the beginning of nationalization of estates, and the possible ways of art-critical interpretation of this inventory. The document has been published and analyzed before by art historian Dalia Ramonienė, thus in this case new approaches to the already known data source are sought, and inaccuracies of the earlier interpretations are corrected. The publication consists of two parts: the text of the source, and its commentary. The commentary on the source seeks to reveal the taste of the com- piler of the collection, his motives for collecting artworks, and to show how Šilingas’ collection is typical of interwar Lithuania.
