Discreet charm of glass, or a still life with a goblet

Summary/Abstract: The text is devoted to one of baroque ekphrasis – the description of goblets, cups and chalices. The author associates the poems from the epoch devoted to objects with still lives whose development can be traced in 16th and 17th centuries. He analyses in detail three works by Miaskowski, Zbigniewa Morsztyn and Naborowski (a previously unpublished verse attributed to the poet), which can provide basis for the reconstruction of the worldview of the whole era.
