Jefferson's Broken Heart and Wrist

  • サマリー

  • We explore Thomas Jefferson's dangerous liaison in Paris with the talented artist Maria Cosway and her monkey-like husband Richard Cosway - a love story that resulted in two broken hearts, one permanently damaged wrist, and one epic 4000-word love letter written as a dialogue between Jefferson's head and heart. (A note: This is one of our very first episodes, and we were still finding our rhythm and voice. If you're new to the podcast, you might want to start with Season 2 or newer episodes for a better sense of how we've evolved!) Sources: Founders Online - Jefferson's Head and the Heart letter to Maria Cosway Mr. Jefferson's Women by Jon Kukla Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power by Jon Meacham Jefferson and the Rights of Man by Dumas Malone Jefferson: A Revealing Biography by Page Smith John Adams by David McCullough Richard Cosway, “The Macaroni Miniature Painter” from The Art Amateur, Vol. 8, No. 2 (January 1883) Inspired by my post "Thomas Jefferson's Head, Heart, and Wrist" I won't link directly to the "don't say I didn't warn you" painting of Leda and the Swan, but it's up to you if you want to Google Leda and the Swan by François Boucher 1740.
