The main purpose of the paper is the linguistic analysis of poetic works that refer to Rembrandt’s painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp in different ways, but also with different intensity. The ways were extracted of translating the painter’s signs into linguistic signs, and the methods were presented by which the stylistics, craftsmanship and concept of the artist‑painter can be conveyed through words. One of the objectives of the work was also to determine the commonalities and differences between the paintings and the poems, which were based on the same iconographic theme.
The article focuses on the ways Wisława Szymborska potrays a mother in her poetic works. The main goal of the analysis is to establish and discuss characteristic features of mother figure and to define the linguistic and stylistic measures Szymborska employs to convey her artistic vision. Additionally, the connotations of mother exposed in Szymborska’s poetry are confronted with the traditional view of maternity to highlight the differences and similarities between a generally accepted stereotype and the artistic vision of the poet. The study shows that the portrayal of mother in Szymborska’s poetry is characterized by a diversity of representation and artistic vibrancy of language used by the artist, who is not confining herself only to dictionary definitions and stereotypes.
