Paysage and Landscape in Belarusian Writings of the 17th сentury

Abstract

Basing on the material of works of Belarusian literature of the 17th century (М.-К. Radzivill, J. Kamienski-Dlužyk, К. Zawiša and others), the article analyzes the features of the author’s perception of nature as an object of artistic representation. The appearance of paysage and landscape sketches in the works of this period is considered as evidence of the development of the inductive method of perception of reality, as well as writers’ awareness of the beauty of nature and their own creative subjectivity.
