Rewind the Tape —Episode 1

Art of the episode

During our rewatch, we took note of the art shown and mentioned in the pilot, and we wanted to share. Did we miss any? Do you have any thoughts about how these references could be interpreted? How do you think Armand and Louis go about picking the art for their penthouse in Dubai?

The Fall of the Rebel Angels

Peter Bruegel the Elder, 1562

This painting is featured in the Interview with the Vampire book, and it was important enough to be included in the draft pilot script!

Bruegel the Elder was among the most significant Dutch and Flemish Renaissance artists. He was a painter and print-maker, known for his landscapes and peasant scenes.

Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion

Francis Bacon, 1944

Bacon was an Irish figurative painter, known for his raw, unsettling imagery and a number of triptychs and diptychs among his work. At a time when being gay was a criminal offense, Bacon was open about his sexuality, and was cast out by his family at 16 for this reason. He destroyed many of his early works, but about 590 still survive. The Tate, where these paintings are displayed, says this about the work: "Francis Bacon titled this work after the figures often featured in Christian paintings witnessing the death of Jesus. But he said the creatures represented the avenging Furies from Greek mythology. The Furies punish those who go against the natural order. In Aeschylus’s tragedy The Eumenides, for example, they pursue a man who has murdered his mother. Bacon first exhibited this painting in April 1945, towards the end of the Second World War. For some, it reflects the horror of the war and the Holocaust in a world lacking guiding principles."

On the Hunt or Captain Percy Williams On A Favorite Irish Hunter and Calling the Hounds Out of Cover

Samuel Sidney, 1881 [Identified by @vfevermillion.] and Heywood Hardy, 1906 [Identified by @destinationdartboard.]

Sidney was an English writer, and his prints usually accompanied his publications about hunting, agriculture, and about settling Australia during the colonial period. Hardy, also British, was a painter, in particular an animal painter. There's also a taxidermy deer, ram, and piebald deer on the wall.

Iolanta

Pyotr Tchaikovsky, 1892

The opera Louis and Lestat go to was composed by Tchaikovsky, another gay artist. The play tells a story "in which love prevails, light shines for all, lies are no longer necessary and no one must fear punishment," as put by Susanne Stähr for the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Strawberries and Cream

Raphaelle Peale, 1816 [Identified by @diasdelfuego.]

Peale is considered to have been the first professional American painter of still-life.

Outfits inspired by J.C. Leyendecker

Leyendecker was one of the most prominent and commercially successful freelance artists in the U.S. He studied in France, and was a pioneer of the Art Deco illustration. Leyendecker's model, Charles Beach, was also his lover of five decades. You can read costume designer Carol Cutshall's thoughts on these outfits on her Instagram.

The Artist's Sister, Melanie

Egon Schiele, 1908 [Identified by @dwreader.]

Schiele was an Austrian expressionist painter and protege of Gustav Klimt. Many of his portraits (self portraits and of others) were described as grotesque and disturbing.

A Stag at Sharkey's

George Wesley Bellows, 1909 [Identified by @vfevermillion.]

Bellows was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.

Mildred-O Hat

Robert Henri, undated (likely 1890s) [Identified by @nicodelenfent, here.]

Henri was an American painter who studied in Paris, where he learned from the Impressionists and determined to lead an even more dramatic revolt against American academic art.

Starry night

Edvard Munch, 1893 [Identified by @vfevermillion.]

Munch was a Norwegian painter, one of the best known figures of late 19th-century Symbolism and a great influence in German Expressionism in the early 20th century. His work dealt with psychological themes, and he personally struggled with mental illness.

If you spot or put a name to any other references, let us know if you'd like us to add them with credit to the post!

Starting tonight, we will be rewatching and discussing Episode 2, ...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self. We hope to see you there!

“To some people a tree is something so incredibly beautiful that it brings tears to the eyes. To others it is just a green thing that stands in the way.”  William Blake

Everyone (of a certain age) knows the song Jerusalem. The music was written by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916 to boost British morale during World War 1. This song, words by William Blake, is the official anthem of the British Women's Institute, and historically was used by the National Union of Suffrage Societies. It is also the song that traditionally ends the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms.

I mention this song as it contains the lines:

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England’s mountains green:

And was the holy Lamb of God,

On England’s pleasant pastures seen!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:

Till we have built Jerusalem,

In England’s green & pleasant Land.

Yesterday we were informed that in this “green and pleasant land” of ours, one in six of British wildlife species is in danger of extinction. Bird populations are expected to be reduced by 43%, and 26% of British mammals are expected to disappear.

Far from being a “green and pleasant land” we are knowingly destroying the very environment we depend upon for our well-being. From polluted waterways and beaches to the sanctioning of pesticides and herbicides banned elsewhere in the world; from anti-clean air campaigns to the promotion of more fossil fuel extraction and carbon emissions, we are knowingly walking into an ecological disaster.

Neither Sunak nor Starmer seemed concerned about our countries ecological future, and neither it seems do many of our fellow citizens. The former are more interested in personal power, the latter more concerned about how much it will cost them in monetary terms.

A lesser-known poem by William Blake is “London” wherein he describes:

“The bleak, polluted urban environment that resulted from the unrestricted burning of coal, the discharge of raw sewage into the Thames, and the inexorable spread of contagious disease."   (J.C McKusick: “The End of Nature: Environmental Apocalypse in William Blake and Mary Shelly.”; Springer Link, 11/11/15.

If Blake’s  environmental apocalypse turns out to be as true for the 21st century as it did for the 19th, then we will only have ourselves to blame.

1/xx unknown posthumous painting of Charles I based on the frontispiece of the Eikon Basilike, after 1660, artist and current location unknown. Purchased by Sir J.C. Robinson at Foster's, 22 July 1891 (89); purchased for the Royal Collection by Queen Victoria in 1892

According to the Royal Collections Trust page on this monster….

Ten days after his execution of 30 January 1649 Charles I’s spiritual autobiography was published – the ‘Eikon Basilike’ or ‘Image of the King’. It is not certain whether this work was written by the King himself or ‘ghosted’ by John Gauden, Bishop of Worcester, but it was an extremely popular piece of Royalist justification and a central part of the development of the cult of King Charles the Martyr (who remains the only Saint canonised by the Church of England). Milton’s riposte, the ‘Eikonoklastes’ (‘The Iconoclast’ or ‘Image-Breaker’) of 1649, did not prevent this work of popular piety from going into many editions. The frontispiece of the ‘Eikon’, designed by William Marshall, and filled with allegorical devices, has always been as famous as the book itself. While not actually copying its composition at all, this painting is entirely derived from Marshall’s print. The King is shown dressed in full earthly splendour - coronation robes, Garter chain, lace collar and so on – but kneeling and praying fervently to an altar upon which is placed a Bible and above which the heavens open. The King has placed a crown of thorns on a cushion at his feet as if offering it (or perhaps taking it up). All the same things happen in the ‘Eikon’ frontispiece except that the King here explicitly takes a crown of thorns labeled ‘Grace’ in exchange for an earthly crown, labeled ‘Vanity’. Many of the allegories which in the ‘Eikon’ fill a landscape outside the chapel in which the King kneels have, in this case, been crowded into a painting-within-a-painting in a fine Baroque frame including a skull. A rock resists some waves and some winds (puffing faces); the same thing is the ‘Eikon’ is labeled ‘Immota, Triumphans’ (‘Unmoved Triumphant’). A palm tree is hung with weights because this tree was said to grow straighter the more weight it bears; in the ‘Eikon’ the same image bears the rubric ‘Crescit sub pondere Virtus’ (‘Virtue grows under weights’, that is in adversity). Such a splendid and public image must have been commissioned after the Restoration, and probably quite soon after, while the matter was still current in people’s minds. A date from the 1660s would certainly fit with the painting’s style.
