The novel With Fire and Sword by Henryk Sienkiewicz was published in the years 1883-1884 in newspapers “Słowo” [“The Word”] and “Czas” [“The Time”]. It gained popularity among the readers and became a growing inspiration for the artists. Even before the publication of the novel was complete, the first works referring to its plot appeared. One example can be the drawing by Jan Rosen showing Jan Skrzetuski in despair on the ruins of the Rozłogi manor. In 1886 the album of illustrations for the novel drawn by Juliusz Kossak was published. It contained 12 plates picturing the following scenes of the book. Fifteen years later the subscribers of “Tygodnik Ilustrowany” [“Illustrated Weekly”] received as a free supplement the edition first volume of With Fire and Swordillustrated with 27 drawings by Antoni Piotrowski. The comparison of the two series of illustrations allows us to trace the common sources of artistic inspiration and shows the difference between the literary and visual narration.

Ogniem i mieczem Henryka Sienkiewicza ukazujące się w latach 1883-1884 na łamach pism „Słowo” i „Czas” zyskało popularność wśród czytelników, a treść dzieła okazała się niezwykle inspirująca dla artystów. Jeszcze przed zakończeniem publikacji powieści powstały pierwsze prace plastyczne nawiązujące do jej fabuły, czego przykładem może być rysunek Jana Rosena ukazujący Skrzetuskiego na zgliszczach dworu w Rozłogach. W 1886 roku ukazał się album z ilustracjami do Ogniem i mieczem autorstwa Juliusza Kossaka, składający się z 12 plansz przedstawiających kolejne epizody powieści. Piętnaście lat później prenumeratorzy „Tygodnika Ilustrowanego” otrzymali w charakterze bezpłatnej premii wydanie pierwszego tomu Trylogii ilustrowane 27 rysunkami autorstwa Antoniego Piotrowskiego. Porównanie obu tych zespołów ilustracji pozwoli wskazać wspólne inspiracje ikonograficzne dla tych cykli plastycznych, a także pokaże różnice w charakterze narracji literackiej i wizualnej.

The article represents an attempt to reflect on the possible causes of a positive reception in Bulgaria for the painting entitled The Batak Massacre (1892) by a Polish artist, Antoni Piotrowski. This work is considered one of the most eloquent visualizations of the traumatic events of significance to Bulgarians that took place during the so-called anti-Turkish April uprising in 1876. Due to the entanglement of circumstances the massacre in Batak has grown to the status of a national myth. The artist, well acquainted with the current situation in the Balkans (which is documented in his autobiography), could not have, however, been fully aware of the semantic potential of the associations invoked by his painting. The topos of the “river of blood”, placed at the centre of attention, interpreted by Piotrowski in a manner differing from that in Southern Slavic folklore or Bulgarian literature, becomes the starting point for the author’s reflections on the repertoire of associations that this work could invoke in the recipient “initiated” into the meanders of their own culture, as was Ivan Vazov, the writer and apologist for the painting. The suggested research approach can be put in the realm of a particular imagology based on the reconstruction of possible strategies to negotiate meanings in intercultural relations.
