The Monument to Mstislav Dobuzhinsky honors a distinguished artist, graphic designer, stage designer, and educator who left a profound mark on Lithuanian and European art. The sculpture is located in Vilnius, near cultural and academic institutions connected to his creative legacy. Born in 1875, Dobuzhinsky developed a distinctive artistic style blending Art Nouveau, Symbolism, and precise graphic expression.
His connection to Vilnius was especially deep: he taught here, took part in the city’s cultural life, designed stage sets, and contributed extensively to book illustration. His artworks are known for their attention to detail, architectural sensitivity, and a strong sense of time and place. He was also a member of the "World of Art" movement and collaborated with leading European theaters.
