Abstract

Within the poetic imagery that takes shape in the Poema paradisiaco, painting and sculpture echo with particular prominence in numerous texts, thickening especially in the second section of the collection, Hortus larvarum. The aim of this presentation is to analyse the different nuances and poetic-literary function possessed by pictorial and sculptural images in a work in which the lesson of classical myth and the pre-Raphaelite artists' canvases is modelled in a symbolic-decadent key by d'Annunzio's admirable art of the word.
