https://doi.org/10.51955/23121327_2022_1_113
Abstract
The study has been undertaken to present the semiotic image of Michel Montaigne (the XVIth century humanist, philosopher, politician, and writer) perceived as a precedent personality of French linguoculture. This semiotic image is constructed via the study of Michel Montaigne`s iconic portraits in various genres: pictorial portraits, engraving, sculpture, bust, stamps, medals, and coins images. Fine works of art are considered as a semiotic system, and as an image-text, that performs the following functions: informational, aesthetical, axiological, and emotional. Portrait is defined as a lingo-socio-cultural phenomenon, consisting of culture-meaningful visual and verbal signs. The material basis for the work represents a collected portrait gallery including 34 images of Michel Montaigne created between 1578 and 2012. The purpose of the study is to model a complexe semiotic image of the precedent personality (Michel Montaigne) in diachrony. Our created semiotic image is composed of visual and verbal features with semiotic functions, and also includes connotative component that complements this precedent image.
