Vincentas Jakševičius

Vincentas Jakševičius (c. 1873 in Naujamiestis district, Russian Empire – July 19, 1936 in Kaišiadorys, Lithuania) was a Lithuanian sculptor specializing in church interiors.

His works, occasionally accompanied by either his sons or his brother, include various pieces of religious art, mainly statues of the saints and altars, in Kaišiadorys, Švėkšna and various other parts of Lithuania.

According to family history, as a teenager, he carved a portrait of Tsar Alexander III of Russia which earned him free education in Vilnius and Saint Petersburg.

[5] Jakševičius worked with his family members, first with his father, then younger brother Benjaminas, and later with sons Silvanas (1900–1933) and Adomas (1908–1967).

He also built grottos of Our Lady of Lourdes (in Veiviržėnai, Ablinga, Gardamas, Dembava, Inkakliai) as well as grave monuments.
