Mermay 2021 - Daughters of the air

As a kid I always got frustrated when people talked about the original ending of the little Mermaid. It is a heartbreaking one, but it always bothered me that everyone ignored the strong message of hope in the Daughters of the air taking the little Mermaid with them. There is comfort in an otherwise unfair situation, and to leave it out of retellings feels somewhat cruel to me.

Als ich klein war, war es für mich immer frustrierend, wenn Leute vom Ende der kleinen Meerjungfrau sprachen. Es ist nämlich herzzerreißend, aber viele ignorieren den letzten Teil, wo die Töchter der Luft sie retten und der Geschichte Hoffnung geben. Einer so ungerechten Situation auch diesen Trost zu nehmen fand ich immer gemein.

Quando ero piccolo ero spesso frustrato dalla gente che parlava del finale della Sirenetta. È straziante, sì, ma c'è speranza nelle figlie dell'aria salvano la sirena, cosa che molti ignorano o omettono dall'adattamento. Togliere quella piccola consolazione, da una situazione così tremenda mi è sempre sembrato ingiusto

Grönemeyer und KonsortenImportierter Antisemitismus: Das Schweigen der Seejungfrauen

Die JF schreibt: »„Kulturschaffende“, „professionelle Zivilcouragierte“: Nun, wo es mal nicht gegen Rechts geht, entlarven sie sich als Meute von ängstlichen Kläffern. Sollten diese Herrschaften uns wieder vorschreiben wollen, wie wir uns benehmen sollen, gibt es nur eine Antwort: „Haltet es weiter wie die Seejungfrau und schweigt! Haltet einfach euer Maul.“ Eine Abrechnung von Thorsten Hinz.

Zemlinsky – Die Seejungfrau Alexander von Zemlinsky was an Austrian composer from the turn of the last century who is more remembered through his connections to other more major composers at the time. In school he studied under Anton Bruckner, became close friends and brother-in-law to Arnold Schoenberg, and was in love with one of his composition students, Alma Schindler, who would be pressured to end the relationship in favor of the more successful composer-conductor Gustav Mahler. These name drops are more to help reference where he stood in musical history; a conductor and composer who wrong some colorful works, but is unfortunately surrounded by giants. This tone poem is based off Hans Christen Anderson’s The Little Mermaid, and the orchestra reflects the glittering waves, the mermaids’ song, the passion and stress caused by love from afar that won’t be reciprocated. It premiered alongside Schoenberg’s Pelleas und Melisande, and it is such a vibrant work, I’m surprised it isn’t more well known or performed.

Andersens "Kleine Seejungfrau" ist an einer langen Tradition von Wasserfrauen angelegt, die lang ins Mittelalter führt. Von ihnen ist die kleine Meerjungfrau die erste, die sich weigert, den Menschen, der ihr Herz zerbrach, zu töten, und damit von dieser Tradition abbricht. Darum hab ich mir diese Szene ausgedacht, wo die älteren Nixen versuchen die Jüngste zu überzeugen, auch ihren Prinzen zu töten. Hier eine kleine Verdeutlichung:

Links: Melusine, die Wasserfee. Ihr Sagenstoff ist bis ins 12. Jahrhundert verwurzelt und schon im 13. wurde er mit der Adelsfamilie der Lusignans in Verbindung gebracht. Melusine heiratete Raymund unter der Bedingung, er dürfe sie nie Samstags beim Baden zusehen. Natürlich konnte der Ritter der Neugier nicht widerstehen und als er seine Frau mit einem Schlangenleib sah, flog diese davon und nahm Großteil des Glücks, das sie ihm geschenkt hatte, zurück.

Rechts: die Meerfei aus Egenolf von Staufenbergs Rittermäre. Wie viele mittelalterliche Patenfeen beschützte sie den Ritter Peter Diemringer auf dem Schlachtfeld. Sie verliebte sich und nahm eine heimliche Ehe mit ihm auf, doch er ließ sich vom Kaiser überzeugen und verließ den Wassergeist für die königliche Muhme. Zur Hochzeit stieß die Meerfei ihren Fuß durch die Decke und sagte ihm seinen Tod vor. In vielen Verdichtungen wird auch sie Melusine genannt.

Oben: Undine aus Friedrich de la Motte Foucqués Erzählung. Name und Handlung stammen aus Paracelsus Buch um Elementargeistern, die auch sein Kommentar auf die Staufenberger Sage enthält. Undine ist die Nixe, die der kleinen Meerjungfrau am ähnlichsten ist und auch sie hätte ihren geliebten nicht umgebracht, wenn ihre Familie sie nicht dazu gezwungen hätte. Benjamin Lacombes Illustrationen davon sind unheimlich schön.

Andersen's "little Seamaid" is radicated in a long tradition of heartbroken waterwomen, that goes back to the Middle Ages. Of them the little mermaid is the first who refuses to kill the human that broke her heart, thus splitting from that tradition. That's how I came up with this idea, of the older nixies trying to convince the youngest to follow their example and kill her prince as well. Here some more info on them:

Left: Melusine, the water fairy. Her legend stems from the 12th century and was already connected to the family of Lusignan by the 13th. Melusine married Raymund under the condition, that he would never see her bathe on a saturday. Naturally he couldn't resist his curiosity, and thus saw her exposed snakebody, which made her fly away, taking with her all the luck she had gifted him.

Right: the Merfey, from Egenolf von Stauffenberg's chivalric poem. Like many medieval fairy godmothers, her job was to aid the knight Peter Dimringer in battle, yet she fell in love with him and married in secret. However the knight was convinced by the emperor to reject the water sprite and remarry the royal aunt/cousin. The Merfey burst with her foot through the ceiling at the wedding, and foretold Peter his death in three days. In many adaptations her name is given as Melusine.

Up: Undine, from Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué's novella. Name and plot are taken from Paracelsus book on elementals, which also contained his commentary on the legend of Stauffenberg. Undine is the closest related to the little mermaid, and she too would have refused to kill her love, hadn't her family forced her to. I was inspired here by Benjamin Lacombe's wonderful illustrations.

"La Sirenetta" di Andersen va a pescare da una lunga tradizione di tragiche donne acquatiche, che ha le sue radici nel medioevo. Tra queste, la giovane sirena è la prima a rifiutarsi di uccidere l'uomo che le spezzò il cuore, rompendo così con la tradizione. Da qui mi è venuta l'idea per questa scena, dove le sirene più antiche cercano di convincere anche la più giovane ad ammazzare il suo principe. Ecco un po' di informazioni:

A sinistra: Melusina, la fata delle acque. La sua leggenda nasce nel XII secolo e già nel XIII fu ricondotta alla nobile famiglia di Lusignan. Melusina sposò Raimondo, a condizione che lui non la vedesse mai fatsi il bagno di sabato. Ovviamente lui non resisté alla curiosità e quando vide la moglie col corpo di serpente, lei scappò, portando via con se la fortuna che gli aveva donato.

A destra: la Fata Marina, dal poema cavalleresco di Egenolf von Staufenberg. Come molte fate madrine medievali, era incaricata di guidare e proteggere un cavaliere, Peter Dimringer, in battaglia. Ma si innamorò del mortale e lo sposò segretamente. Furono felici finché l'imperatore non convinse il cavaliere a lasciare lo spririto delle acque per sposare la zia/cugina di famiglia reale. La Fata Marina sfondò il soffitto della sala col piede al matrimonio e predisse allo sposo la morte entro tre giorni. In molte versioni della storia viene chiamata anche lei Melusina

In alto: Ondina, dalla fiaba d'autore di Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. Nome e trama sono tratti dal libro di Paracelso sugli spiriti elementari, nel quale è anche contenuto un commento alla leggenda di Staufenberg. Ondina è la ninfa più simile alla sirenetta di Andersen, e infatti anche lei non avrebbe ucciso il suo amore, se la sua famiglia non l'avesse obbligata

Arthur will Never Find This

For InkTober daily prompt: 20. Coral It was time to try my newest brushes. I modeled this in Blender before I drew it, and became a little desperate when I saw how much work I just loaded onto myself, and THEN it also FAILED when I tried on large paper. So I threw that out and tried again on a smaller format, with a Pentel brush pen and Copic markers, splattered on some turquoise ink for interest and added the rest of a gold gel pen. I also need to get better salt for my watercolour and ink pieces.

30×20cm ink and markers on paper. The gold didn't scan so great, as usual. Nevertheless you may buy this on Etsy if you like: https://www.etsy.com/listing/888871621/arthur-will-never-find-this-inktober
