Summary/Abstract: The study explores the role of ekphrasis in Ancient and Renaissance contexts. The central claim is based on the methodology of the German art critic and cultural scholar Aby Warburg (1886 – 1929), a forerunner of the tradition of iconology in visual studies. Thus, the study highlights those moments in the history of Western European painting that represent an intersection between the verbal and the visual. The practice of ekphrasis turns out to be that intermediary between the two, as well as between Antiquity and Renaissance, which determines not only the Renaissance’s interest in Antiquity on the level of pictorial subjects, but also explains some stylistic features of Renaissance images
