two voices of polish thinkers and poets on true beauty – promethidion by Cyprian Norwid and Letter to artists by John paul ii – are related to each other in the thought on the soteriological character of beauty which triumphantly leads the man beyond his poverty and the perspective of a fall. Both texts were written despite the dominating philosophical currents of their times. Norwid denied hedonism and fuctionalism, and John paul ii’s message from Letter to artists remains in principal intellectual opposition to the ‘culture of death’ and postmodern esthetical relativity. Norwid’s thought about beauty is also placed in opposition to promoted by the 20th-century avant-garde and taken over by postmodernism category of ‘originality’. the place of the significant for modernity subjectivism and esthetical relativism is taken over by ‘esthetical personalism’ in the works of the recluse from paris.

In addition to the western Mediterranean culture, Cyprian Kamil Norwid’s cultural interests also include the world of Islam and the civilization of the East. As emerges from the poet’s surviving letters and notes, his interest focused mainly on the question of the origins of the Muslim religion and the centuries-old history of Christian-Muslim relations. As a descendant of King John III Sobieski , the victor over Turks at Vienna, and an avid reader of Jerusalem Delivered by Tasso, Norwid simply could not neglect this issue in his ruminations and studies. His notes on Islam in Album Orbis were illustrated with many graphics and drawings related to eastern themes. It seems that Norwid’s historical approach to Muslim issues was to a large extent shaped by some patristic sources, and first of all by writings of Saint John of Damascus, rather than by his contemporary scientific or travelogue orientalism.
