Overview

Granada in Andalusia, which Marie calls «Grenade». She visits it on her Spanish journey of October 1881 (looking back on 20 June 1882: «Comment j'ai passé à Tolède, Burgos, Cordoue, Séville, Grenade ! Grenade ! ... Eh bien c'est de la fièvre. Y retourner !!!», 095.0192) and, before the journey, uses it in a margin note as the home of ideal picturesque subjects.

In Marie's diary

  • 1881-08-18 (092.0435, margin): «il y a tableau à Grenade, bohémienne assise avec enfants sur ses genoux, le nourrisson, d'autres debout, bref un de ces groupes naturels et merveilleux qu'on ne trouve que là.» (A note to self written some six weeks before the Spanish journey.)
