Wilno Late Baroque altars as a phenomenon of high artistic value have for long been of interest to the scholars. Marian Morelowski pointed to a great importance of the models from Andrea Pozzo’s treatise about shaping spatial compositions which served as the background to religious scenes. He referred this assumption to the arrangement of the set of altars in the chancel of the Jesuit Church of St. John in Wilno from the 1740s. Stanisław Lorentz has attributed this unusual architectural and spatial structure to the architect Jan Krzysztof Glaubitz. The structure of the Wilno altars was more thoroughly analyzed thanks to the precise inventory measurements carried out by the architect Piotr Bohdziewicz. According to Bohdziewicz, it is the set of altars in the Dominican Church of the Holy Spirit in Wilno from 1753-60 that is to be regarded as an outstanding example of such liturgical-theatrical composition. Moreover, he discovered the author of the set, namely the architect Franciszek Hoffer.
