Tomb of Stanisław Radziwiłł

The Tomb of Stanisław Radziwiłł is a sculptural effigy of the Grand Marshal of Lithuania Stanisław Radziwiłł (1559–1599), located in the Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard (Bernardine Church) in Vilnius. The monument was erected between 1618 and 1623 by Stanisław's son, Albrecht Stanisław Radziwiłł, who served as the Vice-Chancellor of Lithuania. The execution of this monument is attributed to Willem van den Blocke (1550–1628), a pupil of the Flemish sculptor Cornelis Floris. The workshop of van den Blocke, where his son, the architect and sculptor Abraham van den Blocke (1572–1628), also worked, competed even with Kraków workshops and executed a wide variety of orders. In some of these monuments, as in the Vilnius one, the deceased are depicted as knights lying on the lid of a sarcophagus.
