Summary/Abstract: This study aims to clarify the poetic concept of dominant image and its application to the poetic work of Mihai Eminescu. The used research method is of semio-thematic type one. It comes to the conclusion that Eminescu's work proposes a specific and recognizable dominant image. This image functions according to the rule of the second effect and is an image in which four elements are articulated: a) a world that lives by signs, b) a world of dissociated time, c) a world by the sea and below the moon, d) a world what is born in a dream in a process of resuming destruction, e) a world that teaches loneliness, ataraxia and death.
