Abstracts

The analyses of two Baroque funereal series – Smutne zabawy (Sad games) by Wacław Potocki and Smutne żale (Sorrowful grief) by Stanisław Morsztyn included in this paper have made it possible to distinguish common features of the discussed works as well as identify significant differences. It is known that the two collections differ in terms of structure. Potocki’s series has a two-part composition, whereas Morsztyn’s works follow the topics of a classic epicede. Both are philosophical and reflective in nature, however each author emphasizes different issues in constructing a funereal memento. A common feature of both series is the authors’ reference to the Stoic philosophy, which is an important structural element of the mentioned threnodies. A comparison of the two works presents the funeral objects and points out the extent of imitation.
