Pedro, l’amant

I’m Pedro, Brazilian living in London. Great lover of history, art, literature and landscapes, so be advised: that’s mostly what this is all about.

books i read in 2021: the silence of the girls by pat barker

What will they make of us, the people of those unimaginably distant times? One thing I do know: they won’t want the brutal reality of conquest and slavery. They won’t want to be told about the massacres of men and boys, the enslavement of women and girls. They won’t want to know we were living in a rape camp. No, they’ll go for something altogether softer. A love story, perhaps? I just hope they manage to work out who the lovers were.

His story. His, not mine. It ends at his grave.

Y’all look at this set of Napoleonic playing cards I found by Philipp Otto Runge, early 19th century.

They depict figures from the Napoleonic era including famous military figures and women wearing really pretty empire style.

The first one is supposed to be Murat.

The more I look at it I really do think the spade figure is of or at least certainly based off of Josephine Bonaparte. The rose alone gives it away, but it looks like a lot of other paintings of her.
