The Motif of Feminine Beauty in the Work Obraz panej krásnej perem malovaný, která má v Trnave svoje prebývání by Štefan Ferdinand Selecki

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the description of feminine beauty in the Slovak baroque love poem Obraz panej krasnej perem malovaný, která má v Trnave svoje prebývání by Štefan Ferdinand Selecki. The author points to the essential function of feminine figures from the Age of Antiquity (Mary Magdalene, Judith, Diana, Terpsichore, Sibyl, Lucretia, and Helen). The poet invokes them to construct the main female character. The analysis considers the selection of figures and their features, which collaborate ideally to portray the “lady of Trnava”. The stunning physical beauty of the Slovak aristocrat corresponds with inner grace, virtue and purity.
