The study contributes to interpreting the depiction of Blessed Ludovica Albertoni, which has become an identifying feature of Veronika Rónaiová’s work. The depiction of Ludovica has its formal and semantic antecedents in the work of the Baroque sculptor G. L. Bernini. Since 1988, she has appeared regularly in Rónaiová’s paintings, drawings on paper, on the wall, and her body. This study looks at these depictions from the perspective of the concept of Nachleben and Pathosformeln developed by Aby Warburg and followed up by Georges Didi-Huberman with his theory of anachronism. The concept of Nachleben draws attention to those forms that survive and return in art as if in the eternal return, and in this way, survive, like Rónaiová’s Ludovika. The formula of ecstatic pathos, which is emphasized in the text, draws attention to the emotive gestures or emotional experiences that leave an artistic trace in subsequent artistic epochs. Rónaiová’s depictions of Ludovica are interpreted in terms of the formula of ecstatic pathos generated by Baroque sculpture and emerging in contemporary artistic discourse.
