Alexander I of Russia
Alexander is not considered to have been grand duke of Lithuania, although he might have added the title to his list (see list of Lithuanian grand dukes on Wikipedia)

White Crucifixion
Removed reference to supposed connection between Lithuanian flag featured in the painting and anti-Semitism. Proof of existence of anti-Semitism in Lithuania of the time, particularly of the institutional kind and widely known, is ambiguous.

Marc Chagall
Added reference to Chagall's Litvak roots. Although that is NOT a reference to modern Lithuania, he had a connection to the interwar Lithuanian Republic as well, as exemplified in a few of his paintings, most blatantly in the "White Crucifiction".

Tadeusz Kościuszko
I streamlined the first sentence - Polish and Polish-Lithuanian are broadly interchangeable terms in this context, with the latter being more precise, more impartial and more agreeable to all successor nations of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

Juliusz Słowacki
Removed a dubious remark pointing that Vilnius/Wilno as 'now in Lithuania'. That city was, clearly, ever in Lithuania, just like Warsaw is in Poland.
