Imants Lancmanis (born July 29, 1941) is a Latvian painter and art historian. He has also been the director of Rundāle Palace Museum from 1976 until 2019.

Biography

Imants Lancmanis was born on July 29, 1941, in Riga. In 1959 he graduated from J. Rozentāls Art High School and continued his studies in the painting department of the Art Academy of Latvia. In the 1960s as an Art Academy student he visited Rundāle Palace for the first time. Later he met the director of the Bauska Local History Museum, Laimonis Liepa, who offered him an opportunity to work in the newly established Rundāle Palace museum. After graduation in 1966 Lancmanis started his full-time job in Rundāle Palace.[1]

In 1972 Lancmanis became deputy director of Rundāle Palace museum and director in 1976. He has been responsible for all reconstruction and restoration work done in the palace from the 1970s until 2015, when restoration work was officially finished.[2] Lancmanis has also extensively researched art history in Latvia. He is an author of several books about baroque architecture and 18th- and 19th-century art in Latvia. Due to his long career and experience Lancmanis is one of the biggest experts on art history, architecture, heraldry and baltic-German heritage in Latvia.

Lancmanis is known also as a painter. During his studies in the Art Academy he mostly painted portraits and still lifes and envisioned his future as a painter. Later he dedicated most of his energy to the restoration of Rundāle Palace, although he resumed to paint in 1989 and in 1999 his first solo exhibition was held in Riga.

For his work he has been awarded with the Order of the Three Stars, Legion of Honour and several other decorations and prizes.
