Sacred Samogitia

Jarocki painted mostly landscapes. One of his most famous pictures is a neo-romantic landscape Sacred Samogitia, where he pictured the sunlit fields and groves of the lowlands with green meadows and ripening corn. In the foreground, he painted Lithuanian crosses – symbols of national spirit, suffering and resurrection of the nation. Text authors Nijolė Tumėnienė ir Dalia Tarandaitė.
