The Valdovų rūmų museum in Lithuania is hosting an exhibition titled "Returning Heritage," featuring lithuanian artworks that have been returned from various foreign auctions and antique shops after many years. The exhibition prominently highlights a valuable painting by the renowned Italian artist Saverio Dalla Rosa (1745-1821), which depicts St. Casimir honoring the Mother of God. This painting is a significant representation of Lithuania’s cultural heritage and spiritual identity.

The painting, which has returned to the museum from a private collection in Munich, features St. Casimir holding a white lily, symbolizing virtue and modesty, along with a prince’s crown and a royal ermine mantle that emphasizes his noble roots. The artwork's return not only enriches the museum's collection but also serves to reconnect the Lithuanian people with their artistic past and heritage, enhancing the understanding of national identity through art.

Interestingly, upon its arrival at the museum, experts uncovered an unnoticed inscription that revealed the artist's signature and the date of creation: S A ROS AD 1788, which indicates its historical significance. Additionally, a rose painted beside the signature may symbolize the artist's name, as "rosa" translates to "rose" in Italian. This discovery adds to the painting's value and emphasizes the importance of meticulous examination in the art conservation field.
