| Abstrakt: |
The legend of Pyramus and Thisbe has been a popular theme in art, poetry and music alike, from antiquity onwards. Its spectacular drama-poetic, musical, ballet and opera adaptations increased throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. The author roughly characterizes the features of artworks created in different periods, and specifies with what implications in content, under what sort of inspiration Bianchi represented the story in his Budapest drawing, which was formerly unidentified both for its master and its subject-matter.
