ENThe subject of the Battle of Pabaiskas has not been extensively elaborated in literature. Sparse literary texts about the battle are characterised by educative and conservative, rather than artistically transforming strategy, as well as by collective rather than individual images. These texts are mostly written by amateurs and in a dilettante manner, and are abundant in cliches about a fratricide battle. The writers tend to content with reminders and repetitions. Assuming the role of history popularisers, they stick to a factographic historical story. The amateur authors demonstrate closeness to the documentary by adding pictures of Pabaiskas monuments, as well as citing and paraphrasing publications of science popularisation, booklets and encyclopaedias. The Battle of Pabaiskas is more artistically reflected in Antanas Vienuolis "Anykščių padavimai" (Anykščiai Stories), as well as poems of Vladas Braziūnas and Vytautas Landsbergis. In art, the motifs of the Battle of Pabaiskas are mainly presented in a monumental and occasional way. Examples of applied or monumental art are prevailing (the stained-glass of Šarūnas Šimulynas and the sculptural monument of Viktoras Žentelis are distinguished by their artistry). Similarly to its representation in literature, the Battle is presented not moving away from collective art forms (wayside shrines) emphasising the themes of anguish and meaningless death.
