La Pia de' Tolomei

Artist: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (English, 1828–1882)

Date: 1868–1880

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Spencer Museum of Art, Lawrence, Kansas, United States

The Imprisonment of Pia

In 1868, Dante Gabriel Rossetti painted Jane Morris as La Pia de Tolomei, who appears in Canto V of Purgatorio in the Divine Comedy.

Pia’s story is a heartbreaking. Dante encountered her during his journey through Purgatory, where she remains since she has died without absolution.

She says to Dante “remember me, the one who is Pia; Siena made me, Maremma undid me: he knows it, the one who first encircled my finger with his jewel, when he married me”

The one who “first encircled my finger with his jewel” refers to her husband, Nello, who was responsible for her death so that he could marry a Countess. Nello imprisoned her in Pietra Castle, which is the scene we see in Rossetti’s painting. Rooks, omens of death, are flying in the background.

Exiled by her husband, Pia died imprisoned and neglected. Strip away the ancient castle and pervasive air of Dantean tragedy and you have the all-too familiar tale of a woman trapped within a marriage based on cruelty instead of love.

When Pia meets Dante in Purgatory her only request is that she be remembered.

To be remembered is to be known. I existed. I laughed, I cried, I felt. I mattered.

Update: perdonate la risposta di prima (che toglierò per evitare di fare casini), alla fine una mia amica ha deciso di darmi una mano a fare le carte fisiche quindi non ho più scuse (io ho smesso di studiare economia due anni fa chi sono io per sindacare sulla fattibilità della cosa) quindi niente i tre pori cristi che erano interessati mi diano qualche giorno per vedere se va in porto la cosa e mi farò sentire

Thought those clouds in the key visual of Madoka looked familiar.

Not surprising, given what she is at this point, really.

Hozier's Hymn to Virgil

“There’s points where Virgil picks Dante up and carries him over certain places, and puts him on the back of beasts who fly him over ravines and all of this fantastical stuff. He holds this guy when he faints and trembles and weeps,” Hozier said. “Dante the living human in this poem is, like, horrified. And then he arrives at the end of it, and Virgil says, ‘Well, I can go no further.’ And Dante, the writer, knows on some level that Virgil is not a man who deserves to be in hell.”
