Caprice or capriccio is analysed as an aesthetic category, in a perspective of non-linear continuity of cultural phenomena (the concepts of Warburg, Panofsky and Didi-Huberman are evoked). Indicated are directions of caprice visualisation among which figurative and landscape representations are dominant. The history of caprice as a painting genre illustrates the intriguing complexity of aesthetic awareness extending to extremely differing representations, stylistic modes and meanings. Iconic as well as literary narrations of caprice - while accompanying the modern 'aesthetic of lightness' from the Renaissance to surrealists, from Vasari to Simmel - highlight the movement of metamorphosis, the will to transgress, the frenzy of freedom and the magic of coincidence.
