Ivan Gunduliæ (1589-1638) is the most celebrated Croatian Baroque poet from Dubrovnik. His work embodies central characteristics of Catholic counter-reformation: religious fervor, insistence on «vanity of this world» and zeal in opposition to «infidels». Gunduliæ's major works (epic poem «Osman», pastoral play «Dubravka» and religious poem «Tears of the prodigal son» (based on famous Biblical motif) are examples of Baroque stylistic richness and, frequently, rhetorical excess.
