The article analyses the intermedial interaction between the visual media and the literary text in Jjhannes V. Jensen’s “The King’s Fall” (1901). The research is based on A. Hansen-Löve’s typology of intermedial correlations and examines the main patterns of interaction on the constructive and conceptual level. The incorporated historical codes represented in the paintings give a feeling of the historical period but are revaluated in the novel showing the godless nature and the little man before its face, depending on Darwinistic laws.
