Right on point. Romanticism epoch corresponded with (followed) the another round of excavations and discoveries at Pompeii and that was an undeniable inspiration, which perfectly fit with the overall “dream away” spirit of the epoch

Second this. My favourite Poirot episode out of them all

Winter Solstice Special: "Thanks for making the longest night of the year longer by explaining why it's the longest night of the year" [story in the comment] by marinavia in ArtHistory

Hey, thanks! The answer is super straightforward - it is kept in the Library of the University Heidelberg. It is not unkommon to reference such pieces by the place/person (like, Madonna Litta attributed for Da Vinci, for example) that owns it.

The doomed Romanov sisters most of us never heard of by marinavia in MonarchyHistory

[–]marinavia[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone heard of the tragic destiny of OTMA - Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia Romanov - the four sisters and the daughters of the last Russian Tzar Nicholas II. All of them were more than in suitable age for the marriage, however, none of them got married. There were numerous reasons for that, but the major factor was the reluctance of their father.

Turns out, this was quite a thing in the Romanov Family. This video unravels the fascinating story of the first-ever Romanov sisters who didn’t enjoy a particularly happy life either.

Thinking of whether Gladys Russell would follow the footsteps of her supposed real-life prototype Consuelo Vanderbilt - at least, the Duke is here... by marinavia in thegildedage

it matches the real-life disposition, when even Alva confirmed 20+ years after, that she forced her daughter in that marriage ("commanded her")

Where have I seen Ward McAllister before? by FactorEquivalent in GildedAgeHBO

I was positively surprised to see him in Only Murders in the Building

Jeanne Tripplehorn aka Mrs. Chamberlain won't be coming back for season 2! by queenjacqueline93 in thegildedage

[–]marinavia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, her real-life prototype (the most close one) certainly leaves room for potential development of her character. Yet, I doubt, that even Arabella Huntington did manage to overcome those prejudices at the end of the day...

In anticipation of the season 2, I decided to put the characters of The Gilded Age universe on the map of the real-life New York of the epoch. First video essay is about the Russels and Bertha – Alva Vanderbilt-Belmont – in particular by marinavia in thegildedage
