I just think that it's a coincidence that there is a gypsy involved in the "Rest." I do not know what made him describe the Tempest as "a soldier and a gypsy" but as I suggested last week, it could have been other versions of the Rest where the Madonna looks like a gypsy.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />FrankDr. Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469403843869655063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054785923214156833.post-17467557226931527312010-12-05T20:54:28.481-08:002010-12-05T20:54:28.481-08:00Frank - I'm a bit confused! So you're sayi...Frank - I'm a bit confused! So you're saying Michiel got his gypsy idea from this song? But the song doesn't seem to contain his idea for the soldier - what sparked his imagination on that point?<br /><br />His description is so vague it really just seems like he describing what he saw - a loosely dressed woman and a man holding a staff. I would be more inclined to look for precedents in his other descriptioms. In his cataloguing, did he mention any other pictures with "gypsies" or "soldiers" ?<br /><br />I think your 'Rest' reading is solid enough without trying to figure out Michiel's wacky description- but I can see the lure of wanting to deal with that. I think the answer is within Michiel's use of language, which can only be evidenced from his other writings.<br /><br />Kind Regards<br />HAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091875643921165081noreply@blogger.com
