Architect, Sculptor. He was born into a family of Polish nobility who had, years before, settled in Lithuania. His father was a graduate of St. Petersburg University and after graduation, stayed in Russia as a state superintendent of forestry. His mother, Adelaide Karpuszków, brought him and his three sisters back to Lithuania after his father's death in 1883. He was well-educated graduating from a prestigious Jesuit boarding school then attending noted art and architect schools: from 1897 to 1901 at the Higher Technical School in Vienna and in 1902 at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. While in Paris, he began to make sculptors, which were well-received yet not pecuniary. At this point, he began traveling around Europe; he took his works first to Milan, then Venice, Vienna, London, Brussels and back to Paris before settling in Vilnius in 1914. His most famous works included the "Three Crosses on the Hill" on Bleak Hill in Vilnius, Lithuania; the Holy Heart of Jesus' Church in Vilnius; Chapel in Šiluva, Lithuania; and the Battle of Grunwald Monument in Kraków, Poland. The Grunwald Monument was actual cast in France, brought to Poland on a train car, and unveiled on July 15, 1910, which was the 500th anniversary of the historical battle; it was recorded that 150 thousand people from around the world attended the unveiling in a three-day celebration. He was the first to use reinforced concrete in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with the Chapel in Siluva. The original "Three Crosses" were made of wood and decaying when in 1916 he reinforced them in concrete; they were destroyed in 1951 by the Soviets and then reconstructed in 1989 by another artist. In 1912 he took part in the Olympic Competition of Arts and Letters in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1913, he started the enormous onion-shaped domed of the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Vilnius. He hid in the unfinished structure when Germans invaded the city during World War I. Sadly, even though the construction continued after his death, it was never finished; the blueprint of this church was found in his jacket pocket the day he died. In 1917, he created the Kosciuszko memorial plaque at St. John's Church in Vinius. His work was put on hold when he volunteered for the Polish militia in 1919 as his homeland was being invaded by the Russians. Even before his enlistment, he had for years suffered from tuberculosis, but after standing guard duty on an outpost in the freezing winter, he contacted pneumonia dying days after learning Lithuania had fallen to the Soviet Union. After his death, he was buried in the cellars beneath the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. When it was converted by the Soviets into a Palace of the Construction Workers in 1964, his ashes were moved to Rasos Cemetery with a funeral attended by thousands. Seventy or more of his Paris-created sculptors are on display at the Lithuanian Art Museum in Vilnius, and a number of letters, drawings and photos stored library Seminary in Wloclawek. Most of his sculptures were modeled in clay and plaster with only a few of them cast in bronze. His subjects were mainly religious themes, portrait bursts, and nude males.
