ENMathias Casimirus Sarbievius (Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski) (1595-1640) was one of the most prominent authors of the baroque epoch, “a poet of two worlds”, as aptly dubbed by the literary scholar Eugenija Ulčinaitė. The Christian theocentric thought of the baroque epoch, the ideals of piety and devotion, the opposition between heaven and earth, wealth and poverty are meaningful aspects of the author’s creative work. Sarbievius merges elements of baroque with renaissance heritage, and the aesthetic base of ancient culture is especially important here as well. The present paper analyses the important part of religious love lyrics by Mathias Casimirus Sarbievius - some variations of Mary’s image, paying attention to the specificity of poetics, visual dimensions, ties with the rich and multiple tradition of Mary’s iconography. Reference is made to the texts of poetry collection Lemties žaidimai (1995) by M. K. Sarbievius. It is clear that, for the adoration of the Blessed Virgin Mary, M. K. Sarbievius uses sophisticated expressive means of baroque, strives to impress and affect the reader, and at the same time “reminds” him of the known texts of Christian iconography. At that time, the reader, viewer, church visitor was influenced syncretically: verbal poetic text was partly acting as a visual message or as a reference to it. This is a common strategy of baroque (cf. the influence of the church discourse on a person - the interrelated verbal, visual and other discourses arouse strong emotions, forming the impression of majestic sacredness). Similarly, the religious love poetry by M. K. Sarbievius influences the reader polyphonically as well: here, several registers are applied in order to make the literary image more vivid and impressive. A discussion and interpretation of specific poems - Žibuoklei, Mergelei Motinai, to name a few - stands to prove it. [From the publication]
