Abstract

Obsežen tematski spekter emblemskih knjig, ki so zaznamovale umetnostno polje od 16. do 18. stoletja, je posledično zahteval tudi ikonografsko raznovrsten izbor motivov, zbranih v tej vrsti del. Na emblemskih podobah, ki izražajo ideji memento mori in vanitas, pogosto nastopajo predstavniki živalskega sveta. Na izoblikovanje njihovih simbolnih pomenov so vplivala besedila različnih tipov, ki so se ukvarjala z naravnim obnašanjem živali in temu velikokrat dodelila imaginarne komponente. Ena izmed živalskih skupin, ki v emblematiki in v umetnosti nasploh lahko uteleša misel o smrtnosti, minljivosti, fizične razgradnje in pogubljenja, so žuželke. Prek emblemskih primerov, ki so jim skupni kriteriji izbora emblemov iz zamejenega časovnega obdobja, nanašanja na tematiki memento mori in vanitas ter prisotnosti gosenice, metulja, muhe in hrošča, bodo obrazloženi njihovi simbolni pomeni v emblematiki. V njenem okviru je simbolna vloga štirih izbranih žuželk zastopana tako na kolektivni ravni, kjer na emblemski podobi skupaj nosijo temeljno sporočilo o neizogibni smrti in minljivosti telesnega obstoja, kot tudi na individualni ravni. Slednja razkriva ožji, bolj specifičen simbolni pomen vsakega insekta posebej, ki se nanaša tovrstne tematike.

Secondary title:	Symbolism of selected insects in motifs with themes of death, transience, destruction and doom in emblems from the 16th to the 18th centuries
Secondary abstract:	An extensive thematic spectrum of emblem books that marked the artistic field from the 16th to the 18th centuries consequently demanded an iconographically diverse selection of motifs collected in this sort of works. Emblematic images expressing the ideas of memento mori and vanitas often feature members of the animal world. Their symbolic meanings were shaped by texts of various types, which dealt with the natural behavior of animals and often attributed imaginary components to it. One of the animal groups that can embody the idea of mortality, decomposition and doom in emblems and in art in general are insects. The emblematic examples that share the criteria of selecting emblems from a specific time period, referring to the themes of memento mori and vanitas, and the presence of the caterpillar, butterfly, fly and beetle, will serve as a base for explanation of their symbolic meanings in emblematics. Within its scope, the symbolic role of the four selected insects is represented both on a collective level, where the insects in the emblematic image together convey a fundamental message about the inevitability of death and the transience of physical existence, as well as on the individual level. The latter reveals a narrower, more specific symbolic meaning of each individual insect relating to themes of this sort.
