They have gone through so much, the only thing they want is to just settle down with their loved one and have nothing bother them. They sacrifice the world to just be able to spend the day with their s/o not having to bother with the world around them.

Fukuzawa, Yosano, Atsushi, Katai, Chuuya, Higuchi, Oda, Ango, Francis, Nathaniel, Mushitaro, Sigma, Tetchō.

They love you, yes they love you very much but given the opportunity to potentially have a grasp at the world or at reality, they would do anything even if it means letting you go, it pains them to do so but what are they supposed to do? It is their only chance of gaining what they have so longed after for such a long time.

Dazai, Mori, Kōyō, Akutagawa, Fyodor, Nikolai.

Whether they choose you or the world the outcome will be the same either way. For them you are their world. They have nothing else going for them, they love you and wouldn't trade you for the world, letting you go feels like letting go of a part of themselves.

Atsushi, Ranpo, Higuchi, Ango, Francis, Poe, Sigma.

The Sculptress and the Queen in Exile: Harriet Hosmer and Marie Sophie of the Two Sicilies

If you've been following me for some time you'll know that I'm always looking for scraps of information about Queen Marie Sophie of the Two Sicilies. Today I'll bring you a post that I've been writing for while, about one of Marie's friends and biggest admirers.

After the end of the Siege Gaeta in February 1861, and until 1870, the deposed Bourbons of the Two Sicilies lived in Rome, where they formed a court in exile. There, Queen Marie started to frequent the circles of artists, and she, who was renowned as a living heroine, became a muse for them. During the decaded of 1860s she possed for many artists in Rome, like Thomas Buchanan Read, who painted her in 1868. But perhaps the greatest piece of art for which she modeled was a real-size sculpture made by the famous sculptress Harriet Hosmer.

Perhaps those from the US, or those who are into art and sculpture history are familiar with her. I'm neither. So I started to investigate: who was Harriet Hosmer and how did she became acquianted with Marie?

Harriet "Hatty" Hosmer was born in Massachusetts on October 9, 1830. When she was nineteen-years-old she decided that she wanted to become a sculptor. There was only one problem: sculpture was considered to be a male-only proffesion. But Harriet was determined, so her father supported her, and despite women not being allowed to study anatomy, he managed to get her a spot at Missouri Medical College through the influence of Wayman Crow, a friend of the family. In November 1852 Harriet went to Rome, to finish her training as an sculptor, where she frequented the likes of Nathaniel Hawthrone and Elizabeth Barret Browning, amongst many other American artists and writers that lived there. By the 1860s she became in the leading female sculptor of her time, opening her own studio. And in 1868, Harriet begun the only sculpture of a living subject she ever did, an sculpture that once it was finished would be called her masterpiece. That is, an sculpture of Queen Marie.

Harriet informed Wayman Crow about her latest work in a letter dated January 4, 1869:

I am making a statue of the Queen of Naples. I don't know that you ever saw that photograph of her with a cloak wrapped about her, called the Gaeta costume? She came to me the other day dressed exactly as she was then, spur and all. It will make an interesting statue, for the subject is invested with so much that is historic. I forgot to say there is a pile of cannon balls at her feet, and upon them I shall get her to write her name and Gaeta and the year. The costume is perfectly classic, and she is so beautiful and artistic looking that she lends herself wonderfully to art.

Marie possed for Harriet many times, and soon the two became close. Harriet was pretty much head over heels for the Heroine of Gaeta, whom she describes in her letters as "uncommonly handsome" and delightful. Harriet's biographer Dolly Sherwood says this about the sculptor's enthusiasm for the exiled Queen:

In their love of equestrian sports, they had much in common. But beyond that, Maria Sophia represented a flesh-and-blood heroine, for she had stood beside her husband on the battlements at Gaeta during the final siege that brought down the kingdom. Wrapped in a voluminous cape, she became the symbol of resistance, urging on the defenders ot Gaeta in their last battle to sustain the kingdom of Naples and the Two Sicilies against republican forces fighting for a united Italy,

It was coincidental that Maria Sophia came to Rome as an exile in 1861 when Harriet Hosmer was exhibiting her statue ot Zenobia, the vanquished queen of antiquity. In spite of all that Hosmer could do to resuscitate her, Zenobia was far removed from contemporary struggles. But when Maria Sophia came to her studio, years later, dressed just as she was at Gaeta, in cape and spurs, here was an actual, modern-day heroine, beautiful and courageous, a tragic figure irretrievably stripped of power. Small wonder that Hatty was enchanted with her subject.

Harriet also met Empress Elisabeth, who went to Rome at the end of 1869 to accompany her sister in her confinement. I decided to left what I learned about Harriet and Elisabeth's acquaintance for a another post, since this one is already too long, however I'll leave as a teaser this small fragment of a letter that she wrote to Wayman Crown on March 17, 1870:

(...) This is a commission I am going to ask you to execute for me in the best style of Art, as it is for the Empress and the Queen (Austria and Naples understood.) They want half-a-dozen SHAKER HATS!!!!! That in large letters, for I am sure it will make you laugh. Those royal ladies are going to appear this summer in that style of head-dress, and I have no doubt that Shaker hats will afterwards be in great demand throughout Austria and Bavaria.

The letter goes on for almost two pages detailing exactly how this SHAKER HATS are, but I think this is enough.

In Dolly Sherwood's biography I also found this bit, which I'd never heard of before, about Marie asking Harriet to help her find a black maid:

As minion answering the royal bidding, she once wrote James Yeatman, champion of freed black people, to ask it he could locate a young girl to work as a maid for Maria Sophia. She told Crow that Yeatman had "fished me out a little darkey from the depths of the Black Sea and sent me a very pretty photo of her which I have forwarded to the Queen and now we will see if she is pretty enough."

Sadly I have nothing more on this since it's never mentioned again. The only thing that I can add is that Marie grew up in a household that had black servants, so she possibly wouldn't have found strange to employ a black girl.

By the beginning of 1870 the air in Rome was changing. In July, the Franco-Prussian War begun, and only weeks later Napoleon III recalled the French soldiers that were protecting the Papal States, leaving them defenseless. Many of the foreigners that were staying at Rome left, but Harriet stayed, for she didn't want to miss what she knew was a historical moment. So she saw first hand when the Italian troops finally broke into the city on September. By October, the Papal States were annexed to the Kingdom of Italy, and the Unification was completed.

Harriet wrote on December 30, 1870, that:

The Prince and Princess of Piedmont [the futures King Umberto I of Italy and Queen Margherita] came the other day, and society (Roman) is completely divided as to who shall speak to them and who shall not. Papalini or Liberali you must be. You can't be both. He was at the hunt today, and is no beauty. She, they say, is pretty and altogether charming. I haven't seen her, not even a glimpse, though one of her gentlemen of honor informs me I am to have a visit from her. But I am faithful to my violet-eyed heroine of Gaeta.

(Absolutely love Harriet describing Marie's eyes as violet as if she was the protagonist of a self-incert Wattpad fic).

On their part, Marie and her husband King Francesco II had long left the city. After the death of their daughter Cristina at only three-months-old on March 28, 1870, the sovereigns saw no more reason to stay in Rome. Marie left first April 16, and Francesco followed her April 21. They would never comeback.

The royal couple moved to Bavaria, where Harriet visit them in December 1871. From this visit comes this letter:

I wrote you from Paris, on my way to Munich, where I had a delightful week with the Queen of Naples. They live at the Castle of Garatshausen, two or three hours from Munich, a charming place on the Lake of Starnburg. I never saw her so handsome. It is quite a delight to look at her, and she was so pleased to see me, I don't know when I have had a warmer welcome. The King, too, received me with open arms, but beat me at chess every night in the most merciless manner. I went for three days and stayed seven. The Queen made me ride all her horses, and drove me about herself in the mornings in her carriage with the most faultless pair of little ponies, round as apples. The country is beautiful about the lake. In the afternoons a ride, and such scampers over the fields! I had never a scrap of riding gear with me, but I was arrayed in her own royal togs, and good riding made up the rest. In the evening always chess with the King, and having forgotten almost all I ever knew about the game, you may imagine I cut but a sorry figure. Now and then in a sort of wild and desperate way I used to make a hit which made his Majesty stare, but it made me stare much more, I promise you. When I came away there were three of us sorry, and I promised to repeat my visit next summer.

Harriet would later said that "The romance of my life was centred in Garatshausen and the Queen of Naples. My intimate friendship with this lovely woman was an episode to be remembered." She remained in contact with the Queen and King for the next years, and we also find a mention of the sculptor visiting the couple in 1876, this time in England, where she took them to visit Warwick Castle and two days later to Castle Ashby. Lady Warwick later wrote to Harriet about the "charming" visit of their Majesties, and added that they were all "greatly impressed with the Queen's beauty".

So it's at this point in which will adress what you've probably been thinking this whole time:

If you got this vibe, you are correct. Harriet Hosmer was romantically involved with several women throughout her life. Was Marie one of them? Harriet definitely seems quite enamoured with her, but so was half of Europe during the 1860s. And we have nothing on how Marie felt about Harriet. So for lack of more evidence, the nature of this relationship is to remain ambiguous to us (at least for now).

However, while I was researching this subject I discovered that in many works about Harriet it's a given that she and Marie were lovers. But other than the "romance of my life" quote, they don't provide much more evidence. Perhaps there are more of Harriet's letters about Marie that are (even) more suggestive and make for a stronger case than these that were published in 1912 (!), but I don't know.

Lastly, what happened to the statue, the so-called masterpiece? Until 1872 it was in Harriet's studio; apparently it's speculated that Marie took the statue with her to Bavaria, but its last know location was in Castle Ashby, in 1891. As I mentioned before, Harriet took the royal couple to Castle Ashby in 1876, so there is a connection between the Queen and that place. Did she gifted or sold the statue to the Marquess of Northampton, the owner Castle Ashby? We don't know. Sadly, the statue is now lost, and not even a photography of it survives. But who knows, maybe it's still out there in someone's basement, and it will soon be rediscovered. We can only hope.

august 2 - study journal.

BONJOUR! ÇA VA?

aujoud'hui, je decidé de revoir une série Netflix appelée Marianne.

i was considering starting some tv shows in french so i could catch a little more on pronunciation and i remembered that i had already watched one called Marianne and that kinda made me happy. i'ts a horror/thriller show that gives me chills all down my spine, not gonna lie.

since i first watched it with english subtitles on (i was not studying french at the time) and i already know what this show is about, i can now try and watch it with french subtitles on! my plan is to watch one or maybe half-episode a day, because i've been kinda busy lately and i have to share my time with my college studies as well.

the first episode starts with a small quote and since i'm so excited about rewatching the show, i'm sharing it with y'all right now:

"Hep! Hep! Viendras-tu point avec nous cette nuit? Il y aura heureuse compagnie en la fôret et j'ai autant dire promis à l'Homme Noir que tu serais de nôtres." - Nathaniel Hawthrone.

hope to share more about my progress later! bonné journée et bonnes études a tous!

à bientôt!
