A Classic Representation

The Greek Portrait is an anthology of English verse translations of eminent Greek poets, from Homer to Meleager, with the corresponding Greek text presented alongside. Numerous translators provided the translations, taking on the arduous task of translating essential works from the Classical Period, including epic, lyric, and dramatic poetry.

This 1934 edition was designed by British fine-press publisher Francis Meynell (1891-1975) and printed in an edition of 425 copies by Dutch book and type designer Jan van Krimpen (1892-1958) at the Press of Enschedé en Zonen in Haarlem for Meynell's Nonesuch Press in London. The text was edited by English poet and critic George Rostrevor Hamilton (1888-1967) and printed on Pannekoek paper in Fleischman Greek and van Krimpen's Lutetia types.

The illustrations are by Mariette Lydis (1887-1970), an Austrian-Argentine painter known for her portraits, illustrations, and erotic engravings. She was a self-taught artist who began her career at a young age and had a history of creating what was considered controversial artwork during her lifetime. She gained recognition for creating lithographic depictions that celebrated lesbian and bisexual relationships. However, some critics of her work described the illustrations as "perverse.” We find these prints to be quite lovely, however.

[art-that-fucks-you-up-tournament]

who’s excited for stats so far?? i bet none of you are but i’m inflicting them anyway! ...under a cut.

so far, though, we have 198 separate submissions across 166 works!

so far the longest submission piece is 551 words long! wow! there are also another 3 submissions that are over 300 words long, and one piece has 797 words across 7 submissions! the shortest submission, to contrast, is 5 words long! that’s also great!

there are currently 4 artists that have had 3 pieces of art each submitted, and 8 artists that have had 2 pieces. that means there’s currently 137 other artists! oh sorry, while i was drafting this post we got a fourth submission for one of the four.

how about things anyone can go look at? there are currently 7 pieces of public art that have been submitted! four of them are from canada (and 3 are from the calgary specifically), one is in the netherlands, one is in spain, and one is in new york. the fourth canadian one also has copies in spain, japan, and arkansas. there are also 3 submitted buildings! two are in spain, and one is in thailand!

gender! we’ve got 122 pieces from male artists, and 32 pieces by female artists! yes that doesn’t add up to 166, the other 12 are either multiple artists, unknown artists, or i felt like a creeper trying to trawl through their tumblr/website and it wasn’t in their bio. sadly, we don’t have any openly trans, nb, or otherwise genderqueer artists submitted (where openly is “i could find it in the same 5 second google search to determine nationalities”)

even more niche stats! the largest submission (that isn’t a building, a cave, or public art) is 2.15 m (7 ft 1 in) x 34.14 m (112.0 ft) and weighs 4 tons! close behind it is another that's approximately 3.7m x 25.2m (12ft x 72.9ft) but weighs significantly less! i did not feel like mathing which had more square footage. the smallest submission (that is, a physical piece in real life, digital art can be insanely small) is 5.9 x 6 cm (2 5/16 x 2 3/8 in.)!

how about locations? excluding the multiple copies ones, there are 32 pieces located in the united states, 9 in spain, 8 in france, 6 in canada, 5 in england, 4 in italy, 3 each in russia, australia and mexico, 2 each in the netherlands, wales, scotland, and ireland, and 1 each in israel, finland, germany, portugal, poland, japan, austria, ecuador, thailand, latvia, singapore, belgium, and argentina! i know that doesn’t add up but there’s a lot of pieces in private collections, owned by the artist, or we just couldn’t find their location, sadly.

artist nationalities get a lot more variable! i did my best to look up every artist i could and include their birth country and the country they did their works in! except john singer sargent because he just didn’t want to settle down and i didn’t want to give him like six different countries. 

starting off, we have 43 submissions by american artists! 18 by french artists, 17 by english, 8 each by canadians and italians, 6 each by russians and spaniards, 5 each by chinese, irish, and germans, 4 each by dutch, mexican and belgians, 3 by latvians, 2 each by finnish, polish, scottish, malay, serbian, and armenians, and 1 each by portuguese, japanese, austrian, ecuadorian, thai, swiss, argentine, cuban, kazhak, colombian, danish, and iranian! 

i do not currently have stats for jewish artists for you, because i forgot to write it down my first time through wiki, and now i have to go through all ~140 articles and websites again. relatedly: there are 8 works by known-to-be-gay artists, but i’m already running into wikipedia going “well he sure did a lot of male nudes but he also might have had relationships with women” and i am feeling uncomfortable poking through people’s private lives so... i hope you don’t mind it i stop... counting..... i mean if they��re open about it i’ll write it down still.

how about the ages of works? there are 4 things from before the 1400s, 3 from the 1400s, 6 from the 1500s, 3 from the 1600s, and 2 from the 1700s! 5 from 1800-1850, 4 from 1850-1880, 10 from the 1880s, and 9 from the 1890s! 9 from the 1900s (that is, 1900-1909), 5 from the 1910s, 5 from the 1920s, 4 from the 1930s, 4 from the 1940s, and 6 from the 1950s! 3 from the 60s, 4 from the 70s, 7 from the 80s, 15 from the 90s, 12 from the new oughts, 17 from the 2010s, and 13 from the 2020s! and three ongoing projects!

and to wrap things up: there are 101 paintings, 12 sculptures, 17 what i’m calling installations (they’re often mixed media or unusual media, i would give examples but i feel like i would bias submissions), 6 photographs, 2 pieces of textile art, and 21 digital arts, drawings, or comics!

Sneijder has it all wrong for me. The issue is referees. The foul call can not be made arithmetic. Physical position isn't valid because contact does not mean a foul and the physicality of players don't count for players will play to their lack of perceived physicality or play absent a concern to their physicality, which in either case doesn't mean one player is weak and needs protection or another one is being rough. The foul call is an art, and most referees fail in the foul for two reasons. Inconsistency + blunt bias. Busquets comprehended Barca was the media darling and played to that. He comprehended, Mourinho's inter milan whose squad was full of players not thought of highly in media. Eto'o the outspoken African, who basically had issues with Real Madrid + Barcelona. Milito the great Argentine center forward who can't get a game in the Albiceleste. Sneijder the reject of real madrid, and ill tempered dutch player. the squad of senior players at inter milan who are thought to old or lacking the skill to be considered modern football players. Plus Mourinho himself, who is a negative coach, he preaches negative soccer, mou's football is anti football. Media professed all of said negative aspects to Mou's inter milan and all are lies BUT … ref's called the game as such. Media presented Guardiola as an artistic coach a philosopher coach who is reimagining the game, Messi is the darling, the humble little footballer who mothers can' have their children idolize, Iniesta/Busquets/Xavi and la masia kids are the children of the community playing for their team , so Refs treated barca like they were a treasure that shouldn't be dirtied by other teams. Referees are the problem, as Clarence Seedorf said concerning Neymar, it isn't the job of the ref to call matches based on perceptions of any players character, his job is to call the actions as he sees them. And ref's simply don't do that and are unwilling to change based on what they see. I am 100% certain referees caught Busquets playing and the rulebook allows referees to rescind a call and change it. But referees were unwilling and there you have it. Don't blame players for exposing poor refs, blame refs for being poor as I always tend to do. Busquets exposed poor refs. and players like Sneijder suffered by said poor refs. Consistency first whistle to last PLUS no club /player bias. That is the best ref.

Sneijder: "Busquets was an extremely annoying player, always giving it to others but never able to receive. As soon as he received one hit he would start crying. An absolute crybaby. I literally had fights with him every single game. At one point I told him: 'I will see you in Ibiza in the summer, then you and I will talk again.'

"In 2010 we beat Barcelona 3-1 at home, then we had to go to Camp Nou and after 8 minutes Motta hit him and Busquets started rolling on the ground while looking through his hands to see if Motta got a red card, and then he got up again and he was fine, the crybaby. A nasty guy to play against." [@ZiggoSport]

Hanna Saarikoski in New York, #Day 23 & 24

Now it really feels like I'm saying goodbyes. There are so little days left. It's good that there are still activities going on, like on Wednesday morning when I volunteered for the second time with the New York Cares project, serving meals to older adults. It was hectic but rewarding, and the group work that volunteering requires is a good balance to everything I do here mostly on my own.

In the afternoon I had a meeting with Nia and then the last session of therapy with Nancy. I wanted to give her a book to thank her for our sessions and she had one for me as well - and it was so straight to the point, dealing with grief and finding its meaning.

I started reading it right away on the subway and managed to take the opposite direction of where I was going. It was funny, because I was almost starting to think that I had already mastered the subway. Luckily, I finally realized where I was and had just enough time to find my way to Domino Park and join a salsa class. It was good to try that, too, it was fun, but somehow proved that the miraculous, liberating feeling I found in partnered dancing, at least for now, relates to Argentine Tango. So I know what classes to look for when I return to Finland.

Today I had the exit interview with Nia. Ryan recorded it. It was a surprisingly relaxed situation, even I'm not that fond of being in front of the camera. The old me would say I'll never watch the result, but during the program here I think I've really learned to tolerate uncomfortable and awkward moments, so maybe it's good to do it anyway and maybe learn something from it, haha. And then we went to a departure lunch with Steven, Wags and Nia, which was also a reflection of the past month and my experiences here. It was interesting to hear what might be ahead, Steven has such a long perspective on it, how former fellows returned to their normal lives and how the fellowship period affected them in the long run.

In the afternoon, I rushed to Sutton Place Park to join the last tango class for the first 30 minutes I could spend there. I know it didn't make any sense, but it felt intuitively right every time, so I followed that feeling. Maybe it was part of the goodbyes, a slightly sentimental but light and happy way of acknowledging the importance of it all.

By 6pm I was in Washington Square Park and met LuLu. The Fellowship Program wanted to introduce us by taking the Double Dutch class together. It was so cool, difficult and fun, and a lot of people gathered around the jumping ropes to try it. It was amazing how skilled the most experienced were.

Afterwards we walked to Union Square and had a conversation, I was curious about what it's like to be an artist here and LuLu asked me about my experiences here. I think she mentioned something about her practice and interests, and I suddenly realized that it would be a good idea to show her the Book Stand at Union Square, and actually we were right next to it, so we went there. Luckily it wasn't too late and we stayed there for a rather long and multidimencional discussion. It was great to meet LuLu and a happy coincidence that I was able to introduce her to my friend and her book project. And I had a chance to say goodbye to her as well.

It's OK if y'all didn't originally recognize her name, but here's some Louise Brooks propaganda from my mom (courtesy of https://www.pandorasbox.com/tributes/):

"Aside from Charlie Chaplin, no silent film star — and few actors or actresses of today — have received so much cultural and creative recognition. Arguably, Brooks has become a 20th century icon, even something of a muse."

In Dangerous Female (1931), the first film version of The Maltese Falcon, Brooks or someone who looks a lot like her, is pictured as Sam Spade’s girlfriend.

The femme fatale played by Cyd Charisse in Singin in the Rain (1952) was modeled after Brooks.

Over the years, many actresses have stated in print their desire to play Brooks on the big screen, including Shirley MacLaine, Julie Roberts, Dana Delaney, Winona Ryder and Neve Campbell, to name a few.

Performers who have sported bobbed hair and name checked Brooks include Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and The Banshees, country music star Lorrie Morgan, singers Linda Rondstadt and Kylie Minogue, and pop superstar Madonna.

In Jonathan Demme’s Something Wild (1986), Melanie Griffith plays a femme fatale who calls herself “Lulu” and adopts a bobbed haircut like Brooks.

The Eddie Muller short The Grand Inquisitor (2008) features a Brooks’ inspired character named Lulu.

Images of Brooks are seen a number of times in the French film Blue is the Warmest Color (2013).

Brooks was the inspiration behind Show Girl (1928) and Hollywood Girl (1929), two bestselling comedic novels by J.P. McEvoy. Each was serialized in Liberty magazine and later widely syndicated in dozens of American newspapers.

According to the Argentine author Adolfo Bioy Casares, the character of Faustine in his 1940 novel The Invention of Morel was inspired by Brooks.One of the very first works of magic realism, The Invention of Morel reportedly influenced both Alain Resnais’ film Last Year at Marienbad (1961) as well as the popular American television show, Lost.

A character named Louise Brooks, who happens to resemble the actress, plays an important role in Willem Frederik Hermans’ The Saint of the Clockmakers (1987), a philosophical novel considered one of the finest works by one of the most important Dutch novelists of the post WWII era.

Brooks is mentioned or a minor character in a number of genre novels or novels by genre writers including Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula (1992), Nancy Baker’s Kiss of the Vampire (1995), and Neil Gaiman’s American Gods (2001). In the latter novel, the character named Czernobog refers to Brooks as the greatest movie star of all time. In Houdini Heart (2011), a novel of supernatural horror, author Ki Longfellow uses Brooks as a character in the lead character’s visions. Brooks is also referenced in works by Fritz Leiber, Jr., Clive Barker, Peter Straub, Elizabeth Hand, and Lemony Snicket.

Riffing on the Brooks’ film, Frank O’Hara wrote a poem titled “F.Y.I.(PRIX DE BEAUTE)” (1961). Another poet associated with the New York School, Bill Berkson, also wrote a poem inspired by Brooks, “Bubbles” (early 1960’s). Additionally, Brooks is pictured in a book of 1978 film-inspired poems by Edward Field.

Brooks was the inspiration behind Dixie Dugan, the comic strip by J.P. McEvoy and John H. Striebel which ran from 1929 to 1966.

Brooks is popular among European comix artists. Hugo Pratt, another celebrated Italian artist, found inspiration in Brooks and drew her likeness into various works and named characters after her. Two French graphic novels, Olivia Sturgess 1914-2004 (2005) by Floc’h, and Louise et les loups (2012), by Marion Mousse, were each inspired by Brooks and her look.

The character of Death in the Sandman books by Neil Gaiman was originally based on Brooks.

Brooks is a character and appears on the cover of a Dr. Who comic, Silver Scream (2009). [The eighth Doctor, actor Paul McGann, is also a big fan of the actress.]

Brooks’ likeness is incorporated into a 1929 photo-montage by the Bauhaus associated artist Herbert Bayer. She can also be found in a collage (c. 1930) by the English artist Edward Burra.

Famed caricaturist David Levine drew a likeness of Brooks which appeared in the New York Review of Books (1982), and has been subsequently reproduced on calendars, postcards and other print media.

The first rock music nod to Brooks may be from The Freeze, a Scottish punk band. In 1980, they released a 7″ EP featuring the song “Celebration”, which the back cover notes is “dedicated to Louise Brooks who inspired this song.” Composer Gordon Sharp reportedly sent the recording to the actress. The earliest rock music video featuring footage of Brooks may be “It Hurts” by the Lotus Eaters, from 1985.

Singer songwriter Mike Doughty sports a Brooks’ tattoo, which he has worn since the 1990s. More recently on social media sites, fans have posted images of their own Brooks’ tattoos.

Rufus Wainwright’s 2010 recording, All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu, is an acknowledged tribute to Brooks. The Lou Reed / Metallica collaboration, Lulu (2011), can also be regarded as a more oblique homage to Brooks.

The British new wave group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) released a hit single called “Pandora’s Box” (1991) as a Brooks tribute.The lyrics are about the actress, and the video for the song uses footage of Brooks.

International songs referencing Brooks include Jen Anderson’s “Lulu the song” (1993) from her Australian Pandora’s Box soundtrack; “Lulu” (1995) from the Canadian singer- songwriter Ron Hawkins; and “Interior Lulu” (1999) by the British prog-rock band Marillion. Another prog-rock band, TIMELOCK, from The Netherlands, released two songs about the actress, “Louise Brooks” from their 1994 album Louise Brooks, and “Louise Brooks Revisited” from a 2002 album. In 2014, Scottish singer songwriter Louise Rutkowski released Diary of a Lost Girl.That same year, the Tiger Lillies released Lulu – A Murder Ballad. In 2015, Wurlitza, a five piece band from the UK, released their original soundtrack to the Brooks’ film, Diary of a Lost Girl. And on a different note, there’s “Louise Brooks: Lulu’s Ragtime” (2007) by the Vienna Art Orchestra. As well, Brooks appears on the cover of Eliogabablus (1990), by the Italian-Slovenian experimental rock band Devil Doll. While a few images of Brooks appear in the video of Caro Emerald’s “Tangled Up” (2013).

Brooks may be more popular in France than just about anywhere. Among the French acts that have recorded tributes to the actress is the musette revival band Les Primitifs Du Futur (whose line-up includes famed cartoonist Robert Crumb); in 2006, they reworked the theme song from Prix de Beauté into “Chanson pour Louise Brooks”. Among other French recordings there is “Louise Brooks” by Lady Godiva, from their 1999 release Louise Brooks Avenue, “Actress (Louise Brooks theme)” by Nouvelle Culture from 2005, and Olivia Louvel’s “Lulu a Hollywood” from her 2007 album, Lulu in Suspension.

A French perfume, “LouLou”, from 1987, was inspired by Brooks.

“Impasse Louise Brooks”, a street named after the actress, is located in Bois d’Arcy, a village outside of Paris.

((My mom also had a coworker who styled her hair like Louise Brooks.))

Y'all are doing a cultural disservice not to vote for Louise.

Propaganda

Louise Brooks (Pandora's Box, Diary of a Lost Girl)—Louise Brooks started off as a dancer and went to work in the Follies before going to Hollywood. Disappointed with her roles there, she went to Germany and proceeded to make Pandora's Box, the first film to show a lesbian on-screen (not her but one of her many doomed admirers in the film), and Diary of a Lost Girl, both of which are considered two of the greatest films of the 20th century. She helped popularize the bob and natural acting, acting far more subtly than her contemporaries who treated the camera as a stage audience. After the collapse of her film career and a remarkably rough patch as a high-end sex worker, she was rediscovered and did film criticism, notably "Lulu in Hollywood," which Rodger Ebert called "indispensable." Also, christ. Look at her.

Vilma Bánky (The Son of the Sheik, The Eagle)—She's famous now for being a silent star ruined by the transition to talkies, unlike her frequent co-star Ronald Colman. I think that's a shame, as she has a real vivaciousness and charm in The Winning of Barbara Worth. In this *checks notes* western about environmental engineering, she rides around the desert and gets wooed by both Colman and a young Gary Cooper (good for her dot gif.) Even in stills from films that are sadly lost, I think there is a distinctive warmth and individuality to her. Also she is extremely hot in her extremely pre-Code dress in The Magic Flame.

This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Louise Brooks:

"Defined the style of the modern flapper. A gaze that could make a stone fall in love."

"Louise Brooks left a legend far greater than her real achievement as an actress, but even today few people have seen her films. In our own time, the fascination with Brooks seems to have begun in 1979 with a profile by Kenneth Tynan in the New Yorker, which revealed that the actress who made her last movie in 1938 was alive and living in Rochester, N.Y. Such was the power of Tynan's prose that people began to seek out her existing films, primarily this one, to discover what the fuss was about. What we see here is a healthy young woman -- she was 23 when the film was released -- with whom the camera, under G.W. Pabst's influence, is fascinated. There is a deep paradox in Brooks and her career: the American girl who found success in the troubled Europe between two wars; the vivid personality who briefly dazzled two continents but faded into obscurity; the liberated woman who had affairs with such prominent men as CBS founder William S. Paley as well as with women including (by her account) Greta Garbo but wound up a solitary recluse. And all of this seems perfectly in keeping with her most celebrated role in Pandora's Box. For despite her bright vitality, her flashing dark eyes and brilliant smile, Brooks's Lulu becomes the ultimate femme fatale, careering her way toward destruction, not only of her lovers but eventually of herself."

"She invented having bangs to indicate that you have borderline personality disorder"

"chances are if youve ever seen a "flapper girl" character or even just art of a generic flapper type made after the 20s it was based on her appearance - particularly the bob hairstyle! she had some pretty rough experiences through her life before during and after her tumultuous acting career which ended in 1938 but she made it to the 80s, wrote an autobiography and did a lot of interviews that she was never afraid of being honest in about her own life or peers of the age, and apparently was unabashed about some affairs she had with well known women (including greta garbo!!)"

"She read Proust and Schopenhauer on set between sets. She was one of the original flappers/new women of the 1920s. She had a one night stand with Garbo and was the inspiration for Sally Bowles in Cabaret. Truly a stone cold fox."

"on her wikipedia page it says her biographer said she "loved women as a homosexual man, rather than as a lesbian, would love them" and while i have no idea if this is true or not i thought that was very gender of her"

"despite being american she was big in german expressionist films and thus her aesthetic was unmatched!!"

So far ahead of her time in regard to portraying complicated women. Timeless elegance. "I learned to act by watching Martha Graham dance, and I learned to dance by watching Charlie Chaplin act.” - Louise Brooks

Vilma Bánky:

I love Vilma Bánky! She was called "the Hungarian Rhapsody" and apparently had a thick Hungarian accent which I think is cute. Several men fighting over the same women can be very cliche but when I saw her in The Winning of Barbara Worth (1926) I got it because my god she really is that drop dead gorgeous. She's also a wonderful actress though, expressive yet natural. I read once that seeing her in The Dark Angel (1925)—a film now seemingly lost—inspired Merle Oberon to become an actress :)

This is more of a factoid but she was apparently the women's golf champion at Wilshire Country Club through the 1940s. [link] I just think she's neat.

I love herrrrr she’s my everything. Watching her kiss Rudolph Valentino in Son of the Sheik made me so flustered I had to pause the movie to cool down. She’s the prettiest the most beautiful the most incredible woman I’ve ever seen. I could look at a picture of her for hours

Kingsman S/i

Cw: mentions of alcohol names for statesman, violence (tequila defending my honor), mentions And pictures of guns and bullets in the moodboard. Mentions of recreational drug use from tequila's part (which is cannon btw)

"Oxfords. Not brogues"

Name: Jerico Gomez

Affiliation: Statesman (formerly), Kingsman (currently)

Codename: Corona (Statesman), Moro (Kingsman)

Training: all sorts of martial arts, hand to hand combat, Melee combat, sniping, guns, bo jitsu(favorite) And Archery (favorite).

Biography:

Before statesman, Jerico was an aspiring artist doing commisions for a living back in her home in Argentina.

She was approached by Statesman's leader Champagne in her home country, acting as if he was a lost tourist that didnt know spanish.

Jerico helped him get back to the main street and thats when Champagne showed her that she was descendant of one of the founders of kingsmen (I had to tie in the third movie somehow). After some research, she found out it was true, And thats when she accepted to train with Statesman (since it was the closest ish branch of Kingsman).

Champagne reassured her that her family would be well provided and that she'd be too. So, she accepted

Jerico was given no advantage over her peers though (not that she wouldve liked that anyway), And she was labeled the most hardworking of the recruits.

During her training, she met Brandon J. Mercer (now agent tequila) and becoming close Friends soon after.

Though being close Friends did not exclude fights about tequila's recreational drug use, this usually led to arguments over either the smell of the side effects, though they were quickly resolved after champagne or jerico/Brandon herself/himself approached the other and talked things out.

There was an incident where one of the recruits insulted jerico and Brandon Beated the crap out of them, Champagne wasnt too pleased with his protegé but let it slide after jerico jumped in to defend her friend and tell their boss what happened. The other recruits confirmed what happened and the recruit that insulted jerico was sent back home.

After said incident, Champagne deemed necessary that they brought some pups along for teamwork excersice.

Jerico Chose a Doberman Pinscher, which she appropiately Named Hellhound, while Brandon chose a Dutch Shepherd named Dolly.

The rest of the training went smoothly, she even got the nickname Corona because that was her favorite beer.

In their last weeks of training, Jerico had met Agent Whiskey, who was there to teach the New recruits about the usage of lassos And whips. What started off as a friendshipp soon developed in favoritism (though it never came into play in her training at jerico's request) and then once her training was over, whiskey started to flirt with her.

In her final mission, Brandon and her were the only two candidates left, both got a little bit flirty and almost failed because of how distracted both of them were.

Both ended up aceing their last assigment, but Brandon was picked as the New Agent Tequila, while Jerico was sent off to Kingsman without explanation and under Brandon and agent whiskey's noses.

With unresolved romantic feelings, jerico said goodbye to tequila and whiskey, and off she went to kingsman, though she insisted that if she was going to work there she'd choose what callsing to use.

Staying true to her heritage, Jerico chose the callsing "Moro" since Juana Moro was an Argentine spy that helped in the revolution against Spain.

In kingsman, she met Harry Heart aka Galahad, soon falling in love with him and dating shortly after, helping him mentor Eggsy.

Kingsman s/I! I love her!

To clarify though: I do think drugs should be used for medicine. I have my issues with recreational drug use(its the way I was raised and I seriously dont like it) but everyones free to do as they please.

People that have married in Royal Families since 1800 Spam

Netherlands

Klaus-Georg Wilhelm Otto Friedrich Gerd von Amsberg

Prince Claus of the Netherlands, was the husband of Queen Beatrix, and the Prince Consort of the Netherlands from Beatrix's ascension in 1980 until his death in 2002.

Claus was born Klaus-Georg Wilhelm Otto Friedrich Gerd von Amsberg, on his family's estate, Schloss Dötzingen, near Hitzacker, Germany on 6 September 1926.

His parents were Claus Felix von Amsberg and Baroness Gösta von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen. His father, a member of the untitled German nobility, operated a large farm in Tanganyika (formerly German East Africa) from 1928 until World War II.

From 1938 Claus and his six sisters grew up on their maternal grandparents' manor in Lower Saxony; he attended the Friderico-Francisceum-Gymnasium in Bad Doberan from 1933 to 1936 and a boarding school in Tanganyika from 1936 to 1938.

Claus was a member of the Nazi youth organisations as Deutsches Jungvolk and the Hitler Youth (membership in both was mandatory for all fit members of his generation). From 1938 until 1942, he attended the Baltenschule Misdroy. In 1944, he was conscripted into the German Wehrmacht, becoming a soldier in the German 90th Panzergrenadier Division in Italy in March 1945.

He was taken prisoner of war by the American forces at Meran before taking part in any fighting. After his repatriation, he finished school in Lüneburg and studied law in Hamburg. He then joined the German diplomatic corps and worked in Santo Domingo and Ivory Coast.

In the 1960s, he was transferred to Bonn. Claus met Princess Beatrix for the first time on New Year's Eve 1962 in Bad Driburg at a dinner hosted by the count von Oeynhausen-Sierstorpff who was a distant relative of both of them. They met again at the wedding-eve party of Princess Tatjana of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Moritz, Landgrave of Hesse, in the summer of 1964.

With memories of German oppression still very strong 20 years after the war, sections of the Dutch population were unhappy that Beatrix's fiancé was a German and former member of the Hitler Youth. Nonetheless, Queen Juliana gave the engagement her blessing after giving serious thought to canceling it. The engagement was approved by the States-General a necessary step for Beatrix to remain heiress to the throne in 1965. He was granted Dutch citizenship later that year and changed the spellings of his names to Dutch. The pair were married on 10 March 1966.

Their wedding day saw violent protests, most notably by the anarchist-artist group Provo. They included such memorable slogans as "Claus, 'raus!" (Claus, get out!) and "Mijn fiets terug" (Give me back my bike), a reference to the memory of occupying German soldiers confiscating Dutch bicycles. A smoke bomb was thrown at the wedding carriage by a group of Provos. For a time, it was thought that Beatrix would be the last monarch of the Netherlands.

However, over time, Claus became accepted by the public, so much so that during the last part of his life he was considered by some to be the most popular member of the Royal Family. This change in Dutch opinion was brought about by Claus's strong motivation to contribute to public causes (especially Third World development, on which he was considered an expert), his sincere modesty and his candor (within but sometimes on the edge of royal protocol). The public also sympathised with Claus for his efforts to give meaning to his life beyond the restrictions that Dutch law imposed on the Royal Family's freedom of speech and action. However, these restrictions were gradually loosened; Claus was even appointed as senior staff member at the Department of Developing Aid, albeit in an advisory role.

One example of his attitude toward protocol was the "Declaration of the Tie". In 1998, after presenting the annual Prince Claus Awards to three African fashion designers, Claus told "workers of all nations to unite and cast away the new shackles they have voluntarily cast upon themselves", meaning the necktie, that "snake around my neck," and encouraged the audience to "venture into open-collar paradise". He then removed his tie and threw it on the floor.

In 2001, when on Dutch television he announced the marriage of his son Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange, and Máxima Zorreguieta, an Argentine woman of Spanish and Italian descent, Prince Claus referred to himself as more a citizen of the world than anything else.

Claus suffered various health problems, such as depression, cancer and Parkinson's disease. He died of complications of Pneumonia and Parkinsons at the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam on 6 October 2002 after a long illness, aged 76. He died less than 4 months after the birth of his first grandchild. He was interred in the Royal Family's tomb in Delft on 15 October. It was the first full state funeral since Queen Wilhelmina's in 1962.
