What is death in contemporary world? “Faked”, multiplied by movies and games, it becomes standard, it doesn’t frighten. In contemporary world the second type of death is taboo. It is pushed out of consciousness. Man striving for immortality, striving for eternal youth doesn’t want to remember it. Death was always connected to art. Artists tried to depict the deceased. The idealistic paintings of the dead or preserving their bodies in best possible condition was a gateway to the afterlife. Masks and coffin portraits were heirlooms, they replaced the body of the deceased family member. The mediaeval tombstones called transi played a different role – they depicted rotting corpse eaten by vermin. They reminded of inherent death and of death’s mundane meaning. Contemporary photographers’ work (e.g. Jeffrey Silverthorne’s or Andreas Serrano’s) appeal to these mediaval examples. They show massacred human bodies photographed in a specific, almost excluded from our consciousness setting – the morgue. One should contemplate whether the art depicts a man or a corpse identified with litter. What is the purpose of depicting dead bodies that were secretly photographed in a morgue or were prepared, immersed in formalin and exhibited at an art gallery? The fascination of body and its secrets influenced the way of showing the dead. Bodies of anonymous people seen in the photos are treated by contemporary people as waste. By the means of camera the photographed deceased are depersonalized twice. Once by the camera that is killing them, the second time by abjecting them

W artykule omówiono zagadnienia związane ze śmiercią przedstawione w poemacie Klemensa Bolesławiusza. Przedstawiono sylwetkę autora odwołującego się do autorytetów Kościoła i Biblii oraz jego wizję quattuor hominum novissima. Zauważono, że obrazy potępienia grzeszników wykreowane przez o. Klemensa są zgodne z katolickimi wyobrażeniami o zaświatach i staropolskimi wizjami eschatologicznymi. Poemat „ludowego polskiego Dantego” stanowił swoisty podręcznik ars moriendi, który przygotowywał człowieka do pożegnania z doczesnością, a grzesznikom dawał szansę na poprawę, uniknięcie piekła i osiągnięcie rajskiej szczęśliwości.

The article discusses issues related to death presented in the poem by Klemens Bolesławiusz. The profile of the author referring to the authorities of the Church and the Bible and his vision quattuor hominum novissima are presented. It was noted that the images of the condemnation of sinners created by Father Klemens are consistent with Catholic ideas about the afterlife and old Polish eschatological visions. The poem of the “folk Polish Dante” was a kind of ars moriendi manual, which prepared a man to say goodbye to the earthly life, and gave sinners a chance to improve, avoid hell and achieve heavenly happiness.
