 glbtq >> literature >> Symonds, John Addington
Moreover, the many letters Symonds wrote to other homosexuals--starting in 1863 with his friend Graham Dakyns and continuing with Horatio Brown, Walt Whitman, Edmund Gosse, Charles Kains-Jackson, and Edward Carpenter--though certainly not the first frank homosexual letters by a Western writer, are the first surviving examples in history of extensive and candid homosexual correspondence.
Symonds's complete translation of Michelangelo's sonnets in 1878 was the first in English and the first based on the accurate 1863 Gausti text, which corrected Michelangelo the Younger's heterosexualizing of the poems in his 1623 edition.
Although not blunt about the sonnets' homosexuality, Symonds comes closer to divulging it than ever before by mentioning the earlier bowdlerizing of the poems about "masculine beauty" and by translating the sonnets to Tommaso Cavalieri in their true, male-male, form for the first time.

 glbtq >> literature >> St. Sebastian
Sebastian's extraordinary success as a "gay saint" is related to his status as an updated replacement for other culturally resonant "homosexual legends"--Hadrian and Antinous, Jonathan and David, Ganymede--whose narratives were reducible to narratives of love.
But the essence of Sebastian's tale resists such sentimentalization, standing as a modern emblem of radical isolationism, both a homoerotically charged object of desire and a source of solace for the rejected homosexual.
The love of the second-century Roman emperor Hadrian for the beautiful youth Antinous was exceptional not because the lovers were male, but because of its intensity.

 Magazine Antiques: Josephine as patroness of the arts - Empress of France's patronage civilized her husband's court
For the great gallery, just visible through the doors at the end of the music room, Josephine turned to the landscape architect, Louis Martin Berthault (1770-1823), who had been called in in September of 1805 to work on the garden.
The gallery was inaugurated on March 19, 1809, and it was there that she installed her collection of old master paintings (mostly Flemish, Dutch, and Italian), sculpture, and antiquities, which included statues and busts of Juno, Diana, Augustus, Alexander, Severus, and Antinous, as well as Greek bronzes.
The great gallery was illuminated by a skylight, a feature of the eighteenth-century gallery designed to house the renowned collection of Etienne Francois, duc de Choiseul (1719-1795) in Paris and more recently seen in the renovations by Hubert Robert (1733-1808) in the Palais du Louvre, also in Paris, about 1796.

There are many other sphinxes here, of course, and some of them, notably the huge head rising from the desert sand in Elihu Vedder's Questioner of the Sphinx (1863; no. 236) are surely intended to invoke the colossus of Giza.
A broken figure of a Giza-like sphinx (it is literally cut in two) also appears in the background of Hubert Robert's fantastic Egyptianizing landscape, Girls Dancing around an Obelisk (1798; no. 26).
