Artykuł poświęcony jest relacjom między przemianami dokonującymi się w estetyce romantycznej i romantycznej praktyce artystycznej a rewolucją medialną, która współtworzy kształt sztuki pierwszych dekad XIX wieku. Autorka analizuje w szczególności sposób, w jaki ekspansja druku – wynikająca z ewolucji ówczesnych technik reprodukcji tekstów, ale również partytur czy obrazów – oddziałuje na romantyczne wzorce pojmowania takich zagadnień estetycznych, jak relacja między oryginałem a kopią, między dziełem a jego interpretacją, między jego zapisem a wykonaniem. Punktem dojścia proponowanego studium jest stwierdzenie, iż w obliczu narastającego niebezpieczeństwa standaryzacji w sztuce, wywołującego u romantyków swoisty „lęk przed reprodukcją”, ówcześni twórcy próbują wypracować nową koncepcję medium jako instancji spersonalizowanej i zindywidualizowanej, twórczo oddziałującej na kształt ich dzieł. To zaś sprzyja dowartościowaniu artystycznego potencjału samego procesu mediacji, który T. Gautier uczyni kluczowym komponentem swojej koncepcji transpozycji sztuk.

The article is devoted to relationships between the transformations that take place in the Romantic aesthetics and artistic practice, and the media revolution that co-shaped the art of the first decades of the nineteenth century. The author analyses in particular the way in which the expansion of print – resulting from the evolution of the contemporary technologies that allowed for the reproduction of texts, as well as scores and paintings – influences the Romantic models of understanding of such issues as the relation between the original and the copy, between the work and its interpretation, between its record and execution. The endpoint for the proposed study is the thesis that, in the face of the growing danger of standardization in art, provoking in the Romantics a peculiar “fear of reproduction”, the contemporary artists try to realise a new concept of medium as a personalized and individualised instance, creatively affecting the shape of their works. This, in turn, favours and supports the artistic potential of the mediation process itself, which T. Gautier will describe as the transposition of the arts.

The article’s goal is an inquiry into the main contexts, in Polish and French Romanticism, for the metaphor of black sun; the metaphor belongs with images and themes clearly marked by the experience of melancholia. There was also a significant impact of astronomical fantasies which, perhaps surprisingly, were very popular in Romanticism. Another important reference point for the present text analysis is the Biblical tradition (related mainly to Old Testament books and The Revelation). However, it must be stressed that the popularity of the metaphor of black sun, both in France and in Poland, was undoubtedly fostered by the popularity of Dürer’s print Melancholia I, and Jean-Paul Richter’s famous Speech of the Dead Christ. In works by selected authors, who represent the two language areas under discussion (including Gautier, Nerval, Słowacki, and Krasiński), it is possible to notice significant differences, which allow for asserting the existence of a different model of dissemination of the image of black sun. Inasmuch as French Romantics mostly approach the image in aesthetic and existential terms, the Polish authors clearly focus on metaphysical and historiographical approaches. It is also important that contrary to Biblical sources, where the image of black sun was often related to God’s wrath or his intervention in earthly order, as in Last Judgement, and contrary to astronomical sources, which eliminated individual perspective and clearly strived for objective approach, the metaphor of black sun in texts by Romantic authors is mostly of anthropological quality; it is an image of the human being confronted by individually experienced transience (in the existential model, closer to French Romantics), or in confrontation with time of a community (historiosophic model, which dominates in texts by Polish Romantics).

In a period of global pandemic and confinement to our homes, the end of art is not only a philosophical hypothesis, it is a fact of society. We have experienced that modern societies, those that were able to make art an absolute at one point in their history, no longer need the arts, or the physical presence of artists and spectators, or have considered them inessential, and therefore contingent. Is this what G. W. F. Hegel prophesied with his thesis of the end of art? In this paper I aim to clarify this by referring to the sources of Hegel’s lectures and by examining the reception by nineteenth-century French writers. 1) First, I give a reminder of the different ways in which Hegel’s theme of the end of art can be interpreted. 2) Then, I give a second reminder concerning the reception of Hegel’s Aesthetics in France, with a focus on the translations. 3) Finally, I propose to study three writers who determine three ways of conceiving the appropriation of Hegel in the 19th century and of the theme of the end of art: Théophile Gautier, Charles Baudelaire and Gustave Flaubert.
