| Author: | Walenty Romanowicz (1911–1945) |
Walenty Romanowicz (1911–1945), a painter, graphic artist and graduate of Stephen Báthory University, was endowed with many talents: he studied medicine and art at the same time, and while he was still a student he worked as an assistant to Professor Michał Reicher and lectured on anatomy to art students. In the summers between 1935 and 1940, he took part in archaeological excavations, and carried out conservation work on the site of Trakai Castle. In 1940, he did similar work at Kaunas Castle. Romanowicz lived in Vilnius in the interwar period, was arrested by the Soviets, and died in prison in 1945.
