LIVING WITH ���THAT HAMILTON WOMAN��� Contributing Editor Richard Wendorf writes about collecting neoclassical Naples on the walls of his flat in Georgian Bath F or many years now, the first image I see in the morning and the last image I glimpse at night is a visual reminder of the remarkable cultural life of Naples in the late decades of the eighteenth century. For the affluent and educated young English gentlemen and milordi, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was the southernmost destination on their grand tours of the continent. For most of them, the private home of Sir William Hamilton, the adept British ambassador and one of the greatest collectors of his age, represented their true destination ��� and for the more fortunate among them, an invitation to Sir William���s villa included an opportunity to witness Hamilton���s wife, Emma, as she performed her famous ���attitudes.��� Fortunately for us ��� and for those eighteenth-century pilgrims who were denied access to Lady Hamilton���s charms ��� her legendary performances were captured in a slim volume of plates engraved by Thomas Piroli after drawings by the German painter Friedrich Rehberg. Here, in twelve simple line engravings, we encounter the personification of human emotions ranging from bacchic exaltation to tragic despair. The figure personifying these emotional states in 1794 was a stranger to few of them; in later years she would encompass them all. HYLAND
