The geographical area under discussion comprises the regions of contemporary Lithuania, western Belarus and western Ukraine. The introduction of the Renaissance and Baroque classical revival into these lands is considered here within the political context of nationalistic and religious loyalties, as well as economic status and class. The central discussion focuses on the issue of national identity and religious loyalty in the inter-relation between the Byzantine inheritance of the Lithuanian and Ruthenian populace and the Polonizing Catholic influences entering from the west. A close study is made of the royal, noble and urban patronage of the richly-diverse visual and literary modes developed in these two centuries, as well as examining the cultural achievements of the many national groups in the Eastern Commonwealth, including Ruthenians, Lithuanians, Poles, Armenians, Jews, Karaite and Islamic Tatars. A major issue explored here is the problem of restoring and conserving the vast amount of devastated material culture in these regions, particularly in Belarus Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed February 5, 2019) Subject Architecture, Renaissance -- Lithuania Art, Renaissance -- Lithuania Architecture, Baroque -- Lithuania Art, Baroque -- Lithuania Architecture, Renaissance -- Belarus Art, Renaissance -- Belarus Architecture, Baroque -- Belarus Art, Baroque -- Belarus ARCHITECTURE -- Adaptive Reuse & Renovation.
