- Abstract
Analysis of Martin Opitz's poetics of panegyric pieces in honour of two Polish personages--a painter Bartłomiej Strobel and King Ladislaus IV of Poland--is made subject of the paper. Displaying the relationship between the poet and the king, the author focuses more on the aesthetic connections than on the subjective ones. Opitz, exploiting the canon of erudite panegyric, addressed to learned receivers, attempts to portray Strobel's achievements, and the painter is praised as vir doctus, namely art theoretician. Thus, what he means is implementation of Horatian image ut pictura poesis. Poetics of the panegyric is presented in the context of "last hand" version (sylvae genetics complexity) and with respect to Opitz's epigrams connected with Strobel, but first and foremost in the context of genetic observations from Das Buch von der deutschen Poeterei (Book of German Poetics, 1642). The panegyric to honour the Polish King appears totally contradictory in its nature and addresses, besides following Gerhard von Donhoff's political initiative, to German infidels inhabiting Poland. The author points at the poem's mediative character and formulates a thesis that the piece could have been directed to Swedish elites, justifying King Ladislaus IV's not only dynastic, but also ethical rights to the Swedish throne.
