ENThe article discusses the Vilnius church and monastery paintings restored by the early 19th-early 20th century artists Marcin Januszevicz, Kanuty Rusiecki, Otton Liniewicz, Vincent Slendzinski, Bronisława Kamińska, Julius Borowski and Władisław Leszczyński. The author makes reference to both published and manuscript written sources and to the restoration works described in scientific literature, and also to inscriptions found on the front and reverse of the paintings. Inscriptions concerning the completed restoration and renewal of works enable us to discuss the tendencies which informed the preservation of painting, including the attitude towards the sacral objects itself; as the restoration works were provided for valued paintings which in many frequent cases had earned the respect of believers and were famous for their graces. This tendency is especially perceptible in Vilnius Catholic churches and former monasteries which are abundant with paintings restored in the early 19th-early 20th century. These accomplished feats of renewal and restoration saved unique art works from fading away, those works which adorn Vilnius churches up to the present day and are an integral part of the city's image. Having compared the paintings restored in the Catholic churches and former monasteries of Vilnius with the forms of restoration and materials used in Europe and Russia, the restored works of the period under discussion are seen to correspond to the ethnic and aesthetical conceptions of restoration that were prevalent at the time.
