Abstracts

Zbigniew Herbert was an essayist penetratingly recognizing the iconosphere of the days of the 17th century. His statements concerning the Dutch Golden Age painting, referring to the sociological and anthropological interests in the daily life of an average man, take into consideration the following elements of the bourgeois microcosm: behaviours and cultural roles, social and national roles, living space, and family models. The vision of the Dutch bourgeois is not unambiguous. Its complexity results from the combination of ethical, aesthetical and epistemological problems, from the discussion on the philosophy of perceiving phenomena and the strategy of telling about them. The portrait of the bourgeois community is determined by the writer's characteristic irony which causes an incessant change in views and evaluations.
