how "scum" is such an affectionate genius? First, put a picture of Luo Saidi played by Love Egg (aidan turner) in the English drama desperate romantics to suppress the alarm.
Luo Saidi has created a typical female image in her own paintings, with melancholy and otherworldly beauty in a quiet, elegant and fantastic atmosphere, which once became a typical goddess in the eyes of the British. The muse who initially inspired Luo Saidi was his beloved wife, Elizabeth Kildal.
This beautiful woman was deeply loved by pre-Raphael painters and became a model in many famous paintings, the most famous of which was John Millay's O 'filia. Among many suitors, she chose Luo Saidi, who wrote touching love poems, and began her half life of love and hate.
In love, Luo Saidi made a painting for her called "True Love". In the picture, Siddhar, surrounded by everyone, gave up her usual sadness, and the painter's tender affection seemed to be projected on her gentle face, showing a faint blush.
However, Hilda is not a simple model. After her contact with Luo Saidi, she often follows him in painting and writing poems. At that time, Ruskin, the most important supporter of the Pre-Raphael School, discovered her talent and even thought that she had more artistic potential than Luo Saidi.
Unfortunately, under the social background at that time, it was almost impossible for female painters to be recognized. But what is even more chilling is that although in Kildal's hope, she and Luo Saidi should be the fairy couple who are muses, but Luo Saidi only regards her as a woman and a beautiful model, and ruthlessly suppresses and restricts her artist side.
Kildal, whose artistic ambition is hard to realize, can only throw all his love on Luo Saidi, but he has a constant affair and presents the women he loved on the canvas one by one. Not only that, among his three main lovers, two are his good friend's wives/lovers.
First, another leader of the pre-Raphael school, william holman hunt's lover. In Hunter's view, this lover, who was born in humble origins and was not well-informed, became a beautiful woman in Luo Saidi's works-Helen of Troy.
Then Jenny Morris, whose husband William Morris is a rising star of the Pre-Raphael School and a long-term friend of Luo Saidi. Pale and quiet face, melancholy and thoughtful brow, she perfectly conforms to the ideal image in Luo Saidi's mind, and soon they fell in love. And Morris forgives this affair with tolerance.
There is also a plump and sexy lover named Fanny. Luo Saidi painted a picture with a poem by Boccaccio as the title: "A kissed lip will not lose its delicacy, it will renew itself, just like the moon."
Kildal was physically weak, and Luo Saidi's playboy made her unhappy all day, addicted to tincture of opium, and finally died early because she swallowed too much.
There is no doubt that the passionate Luo Saidi is sad about this. In many sonnets since then, he has expressed his mourning and feelings for the past, and personally put all the manuscripts in Kildal's coffin.
Luo Saidi's famous painting "Destiny" above is based on Dante's poem "Rebirth" two years after his death in Kildal, and uses Beat Lisi, Dante's lover, as a symbol of Kildal. The gentle and sad dusk light in the picture gives people a sad feeling of medieval tragedy myth, and there is no lack of gentle love at the same time.
However, Luo Saidi certainly didn't end his romantic history. What is even more ironic is that a few years later, in order to publish the poems buried in the coffin, he dug up Kildal's grave ...
It's time to release Luo Saidi's self-portrait from zi (lian):
However, artistic talent has nothing to do with personality. Many times, passionate artists and indecisive literati live like wayward and pampered children, which should not interfere with our appreciation of their art.
finally, let's end with a sad poem written by Luo Saidi after Kildal's death:
