The Sleepers | Gustave Courbet | 1866 | Petit Palais, Paris
“Le Sommeil was originally commissioned by the Turkish diplomat and art collector of the late Ottoman era, Halil Şerif Paşa, who had lived in Paris since 1860. The painting was not permitted to be shown publicly until 1988, like a number of his other works such as L'Origine du monde. When Le Sommeil was exhibited by a picture dealer in 1872, it became the subject of a police report. One of the models for the painting was Joanna Hiffernan, who was the mistress of fellow painter James Abbott Whistler at the time. Whistler’s relationship with Hiffernan ended soon afterwards, and his opinion of Courbet soured.”

La lluvia cubre estos edificios fríos y vacíos
Voy buscando tu cara en las nubes tristes
El eco de nuestras risas me acompaña.
Tú falta me corta el corazón
En pedazos que vuelan hasta ti.
