Šiško Menčetić

Šiško Menčetić

Šiško Menčetić (1457-1527) was a Croatian poet and Ragusan nobleman. Most of his poems and stories were written in 15th century. He was fruitful poet who left a rather large collection of several hundreds love poems as his legacy. Mečetić completely gave himself up to the poetic practice which he followed by repeating the steroptypes of petrarchist expression. He wrote in the spirit of Renaissance rebelliousness which is how he also lived his life as well: as an unbridled noble, with aristorcratic temperament. He was taken to the court several times for his public broils and seduction of women. His poem "Blažen čas i hip" is one of those songs who represent and symbolizes the style of Croatian petrachism and so is considered to be beyond all centuries.
