I, GEBIR II/
WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR
(1775-1864),
an
aristocrat, a Republican and a rebel, left England for Florence in
1821,
and arrived with a full-fledged reputation as an artist: his poems and
prose attest to his great classical learning and his epigrams are
forceful
and moving. He was a leader of the early English Romantic movement.
Restless
and eccentric, also extravagant and generous, he changed residence
several
times in Florence. He succeeded in amusing the Florentines with his wit
(when he didn't terrify them). In 1835 he bequeathed his Villa
Gherardesca
home to his son, Arnold (1819-1871), who is also buried here, and
returned
to London, only to reappear in Florence in 1858. He was a fervent
supporter
of the Italian cause, to which the Brownings introduced him and he
raised
funds for the 'Garibaldini'. Finally, turned out by his family, like a
mad King Lear, he found refuge for a while with the compassionate Isa
Blagden , but finished his
days in squalor, in lodgings arranged
for
him by Robert Browning, in Via della Chiesa, under the care of
Elizabeth
Barrett Browning's former maid, Elizabeth
Wilson . He lived to a ripe
old age, all but forgotten by the
younger
generation, but his name, as Swinburne wrote for his tombstone, is now
forever united with that of Florence, his chosen home. [See Giuliana
Artom
Treves, Golden Ring, pp. 38-53.] LS
