Abstract

This paper is based on the relationship between literature, architecture, art and handicrafts in Petar Hektorović’s “Ribanje i ribarsko prigovaranje”. The stimulus for this exploratory approach resulted from the fact that the work “Ribanje i ribarsko prigovaranje” originated as a result of the poet’s three-day holiday from the concerns about the construction of his Tvardalj which, he said, fully occupied him and bound him. This means that Hektorović was so obsessed with this edifice that it is impossible not to think that “Ribanje i ribarsko prigovaranje” is not just a description and storytelling event from the trip, but it is also a certain descrip­tion and symbolic interpretation of the specified building. So, it is actually a building, but because of the inscription, relief and visual symbols also contained in the poetic, painting, sculptural and philosophical work, it is deeply meaningful and a little bit mysterious. Therefore, this work directs us to the places where Hektorović, in the central episode of his Ribanje, drew attention to the meaning and significance of certain inscriptions and art symbols represented on Tvardalj. Additionally, this work speaks of Hektorović’s thinking about art and the way he connected every human activity with a kind of art, even if it was the catching of fish by some simple and ignorant fishermen.
