In the first part the article is devoted to Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski’s view on the role of a poet and poetry. In his treatise De perfecta poesi (On Perfect Poetry) he expressed his conviction of divine character of poetic creation: a poet is an inspired, vivacious man and above all, a Christian, who, like God (“ut alter Deus”), creates something of nothing (“ex nihilo creat”). The Sarmatian Horace compares poet’s and painter’s creative processes and shows similarities. Sarbiewski’s opinions are based on the authority of Plato and Aristotle. He also uses Renaissance and Neo-Platonic sources. Some of them are quite similar to Leonardo da Vinci’s theory of art. The main aim of the second part of this text is to show, how Sarbiewski’s theory of poetry and of art is realized in his poetic works. For this purpose, his representative works (which realize Horace’s maxim “ut pictura poesis”) have been analyzed.
