Art

Hannibal Rising: Canaletto's Bridge of Sighs and Bellotto's Bridge of Sighs.

Chapter 29: These two works, stolen from Lecter Castle, were supposedly painted on the same day and are expected to be paired. The fact that they're separated is revealing and may help to trace the thief.

I'm not sure whether the images I linked are the ones painted "on the same day", if such a pair even exists in reality (and what does that mean, on the same day? completed on the same day? exhibited on the same day?). The ones in Lecter Castle may be imaginary. I don't really have time tonight to verify whether either or both artists painted the same cityscape more than once and/or did so at the same time as each other.

Hannibal Rising: Gounod's Faust, performed by Beniamino Gigli

Chapter 33: 18-year-old Hannibal attends the opera in a box with Lady Murasaki. The tickets were provided by Inspector Popil, who had to cancel at the last minute because of a murder.

Hannibal Rising: Rimsky-Korsakov: The Flight of the Bumblebee

Chapter 33: The box Murasaki and Hannibal (and the Paris Prefecture Commissioner and his wife) are in has a concealed area with a couch, mating antics for the use of. Hannibal learned from an ambulance attendant that an elderly patron died on this couch because the orchestra was playing Flight of the Bumblebee, setting too fast a pace.

The fanfic just writes itself, really.

Hannibal Rising: statue of Joan of Arc in Notre Dame interior

Chapter 34: Hannibal gazes at the statue through the votive flame and is reminded of his mother's body on fire.

Literature

Hannibal Rising: The memory palace

Chapter 34: gets another mention as we are shown an example of how Hannibal considers the Portail du Jugement (see Art above) as a possible layout for memorizing the anatomy of the throat.

Literature

Hannibal Rising: The Memory Palace and the Treatise on Light

Chapter 35: another chapter demonstrating how Hannibal uses his memory palace to aid his studies, this time following him through a cadaver dissection. He remembers the pages of the Treatise on Light blowing across Mr. Jakov's body.

Music

Hannibal Rising: Bach string quartet (eh?!?)

Chapter 35: on a journey through his memory palace, Hannibal selects an unspecified Bach string quartet for the soundtrack, except that I'm pretty sure there isn't anything written explicitly for a string quartet???

And on further investigation, it seems I'm right, though obviously a determined string quartet can always work something out, like this. Or there's this one, but don't think I don't notice there are six of them. You see the problem.

The Art of Fugue, notable recordings - lists four recordings of the Art of Fugue by string quartet. Those are probably your best bet.

You could also probably arrange the Canon a 4 from A Musical Offering with a string quartet, somehow, as it doesn't seem to be written in stone what instruments it's for.

And of course, Harris didn't specify WHICH Bach, but that's cheating because everyone knows Johann Sebastian is the default. But Johann Christoph had some string quartets to his name. I imagine it's the same for the other Bachs, but who can keep track of them all? I say, if you don't specify which Bach, it's always Johann Sebastian.

Art, Literature

Hannibal Rising: Vesalius, De Humani Corporis Fabrica

Chapter 37: Hannibal's supervisor, Professor Dumas, felt the destruction of the original woodblocks in Munich during the war as a personal blasphemy, and resolved to create the bestest anatomical atlas evar. Since drawing is better for visualizing anatomical information than photography, that's what Hannibal is there for: he provides the illustrations in exchange for his scholarship.

Literature

Hannibal Rising: Akiko Yosano, "Amid the notes of my koto..."

Chapter 47: waiting for Hannibal in his room at the medical school, Murasaki lifts a cloth that is hiding a pastel drawing of her nude in the bath at the chateau, and it makes her think of this poem.

Literature

Hannibal Rising: Cynewulf, Juliana

Chapter 48: Not sure if Harris had this in mind or not, but Petras Kolnas lives on the Rue Juliana which doesn't seem to be a real street. Cynewulf's poem describes the martyr Juliana and her adventures during the Diocletian persecution. The clearest thematic tie-in seems to be that she gets beheaded. Also, she humiliates a demon in front of all its demon friends by making it confess its sins.

Music

Hannibal Rising: Das Mannlein

makes another appearance in Chapter 48 as Hannibal gets Kolnas' tiny daughter to sing this song.

Architecture

Hannibal Rising: Paul Abadie et al, Sacré Coeur.

Chapter 49: described in the background as Murasaki plays the koto for Hannibal on the terrace.

You may be wondering about my criteria for including certain things under "architecture" when so many structures are mentioned in passing. It's when it's described as having a particular effect of its own; not merely walked through, past, into, or out of as shoe leather to prove Hannibal was there.

Music

Hannibal Rising: Miyagi Michio, The Sea in Spring

Chapter 49: Murasaki plays this on the terrace for Hannibal.

Art

Hannibal Rising: St. Michael's Scaleson the Portail du Jugement

Chapter 49: When Murasaki offers herself to Hannibal if he will give up "the darkness", the shape of her clavicle reminds him of St. Michael's scales, on the Portail du Jugement which he used in his memory palace to map the throat-type chestal area or whatever you call it.

Literature

Hannibal Rising: the Memory Palace

Chapter 49: alluded to when the sight of Murasaki's clavicle reminds Hannibal of St. Michael's Scales.

Literature

Hannibal Rising: Lorca, A Margarita (Xirgu) (SLWord document).

Chapter 51: Hannibal thinks about the heart being an orchard, and the shape of peaches and pears, and this is a recurring theme in this chapter because Hannibal's sexuality is only being alluded to in terms of fruit. It's still disturbing.

Hannibal Rising: L'Humanité

Chapter 51: The French Communist Party newspaper (now independent but still communist). Hannibal got a visa to Lithuania on the excuse that he was going to write an article about why it was great that his family's castle got seized by the state, etc.

Food Porn

Hannibal Rising: African figs and Westphalian ham

Chapter 51: Hannibal buys these at the market and eats them after casing the recently departed Milko's associates. Note that Westphalian ham is from acorn-fed pigs.

Architecture

Hannibal Rising: Bauhaus

Chapter 51: Vladis Grutas lives in a Bauhaus mansion that had previously been a German army HQ.

Music

Hannibal Rising: Lawrence Welk

Chapter 51: The pianist at Grutas' party has a "rictus"-like smile that is compared to Lawrence Welk's.

Hannibal Rising: Night and Day by Cole Porter (SLYT)

Chapter 51: The pianist at Grutas' party sings this, in broken English, because Grutas demands "American cocktail" music.

Hannibal Rising: Zorba The Greek

Chapter 51: There is a sculpture in Grutas' wine cellar supposedly by Anthony Quinn, star of this musical, which was not made until 1964 and is therefore totally anachronistic to this early 1950s narrative. The sculpture is titled "Logic is a woman's behind", which is a quote from the musical. Quinn did take art classes in earlier life. Unless this allusion is a joke about the futility of trying to understand itself, I don't get it.

Food Porn

Hannibal Rising: Daube

Chapter 53: a nursing student invites Hannibal over for dinner with her and her roommate. They're making daube.

Hannibal Rising: Sea urchins (SLYT), sweetbreads, pear tart and oranges

Chapter 53: Lady Murasaki is bringing these home as the makings of a romantic dinner with Hannibal, because apparently a romantic dinner with Hannibal has to involve gross innards even if someone else is cooking it.

Also, Hannibal was having symbolic thoughts about peaches and pears in the previous chapter, and I am reminded of a fanfic about Hannibal and some eclairs that I will never admit to even reading, and certainly wouldn't link to here. I understand Americans traditionally use apple pies for this purpose.

Literature

Hannibal Rising: Pascal - Pensées.

Chapter 53: Popil asks Hannibal to swear on the Bible, and Hannibal spots a copy of Pensées and offers to swear on that. In the end, he swears on Murasaki's life.

Scattered notes on Catholic philosophy which were a bitch to edit into a coherent book; it's still arduous reading. Pascal was also a pioneer of scientific method; until he proved the existence of the vacuum by empirical methods, science was done by appeal to Aristotle's authority. To ease the disorientation, there is some enlightening and mercifully brief secondary literature by Alban Krailsheimer.

Popil, by striking a bargain with Hannibal, is arguably engaging in casuistry, which Pascal disapproved of as a dodgy thing only Jesuits do.

Literature

Hannibal Rising: Le Canard Enchaîné

Chapter 57: Hannibal is arrested for blowing up absolutely everyone, and indignant articles campaigning to Free Hannibal appear in this satirical magazine as well as in the aforementioned L'Humanité.

Hannibal Rising: Murasaki Shikibu: The Tale of Genji

Chapter 57: Murasaki visits Hannibal in the interrogation room at the Quai des Orfevres where he is under arrest. They do a call-and-response, which we read in from Atsumi & Rexroth's translation of Women Poets of Japan. Are the mandarin ducks asleep, or dead of hypothermia? Hannibal's heart has entered its nuclear winter. It's poignant.

Food Porn

Hannibal Rising: Jugged hare

Chapter 57: Hannibal goes to the Restaurant du Champ de Mars and eats this dish on his own, when he had so been looking forward to sharing with Murasaki after he was done saving her life and killing everyone. But it turns out that murdering people with massive brutal overkill turns chicks off, even when you're saving their life, because you sort of exposed her to the risk in the first place. Awkward. Also, he pays for it with the money that the condemned prisoner had left to pay for masses for his soul.

This is the dish of which we read the important line "He dined alone and he was not lonely", which is the exact Hannibal we are shown in season 1, episode 1, in the very first scene in which Hannibal appears.

Actually, it is kind of sad.

Also, jugging involves cooking an animal in its blood, which is against Old Testament dietary law because the soul of an animal is in its blood therefore blood is not for eating.

Facepalming that I left out this, of all things. Sequentially it should go here.

Literature

S1E2 Amuse-Bouche: Flannery O'Connor, A Good Man Is Hard To Find

Alana's favourite story by her favourite author. She reads it to Abigail who lies comatose in the hospital.

S1E7 Sorbet: Hannibal's kitchen: Henry Bernard Chalon, White Papillon Standing on a Cushion

Visible in the background as Alana chops carrots.

Jean-Honoré Fragonard: The Bathers.

Visible in the background as Will apologizes for not being able to attend the dinner party.

S1E7 Sorbet: Hannibal's waiting room: Théodore Géricault, The Raft of the Medusa.

Visible when Hannibal opens the door to his waiting room in anticipation of Will's arrival. Depicts shipwreck survivors turning to cannibalism, which is not only soothing for distressed patients to contemplate but also forms part of Hannibal's impenetrable Frasier Crane disguise. Is it any wonder nobody saw through him all those years.

Literature

S1E1 Apéritif: Kurzban & Leary, Evolutionary Origins of Stigmatization

S1E9 Trou Normand:

Equipment, petal print shirt

Worn by Alana during the confrontation with Abigail over Nicholas Boyle's body.

Add, belted knee length coat

Worn by Beverly Katz on the beach investigating the human totem pole.

Filson, Twill Original briefcase

Carried by Will throughout season 1. Filson is one of those companies that offers a lifetime guarantee. It really says something about Will that he buys the best he can afford, but it damn well better be excellent value for money. Also, Filson has a strong New England outdoor lifestyle kind of value system. It's all very Red Blooded American Male, and it exudes Good Taste plus Utilitarian Toughness while diminishing neither. This of course is the exact opposite of Hannibal's aesthetic.

This is another one out of sequence, as we clearly saw it in both Apéritif and Amuse-Bouche, so it should go here.

A propos, I would sure like to know what that painting is on the wall of the Turner family dining room. I'm sure it speaks volumes.
posted by tel3path at 8:47 AM on January 10, 2016


On a related note, I haven't been able to identify the painting of birch trees surrounding a river that is on Will's mantelpiece, nor the landscape next to it, nor the landscape on the opposite wall.

All they tell us, I guess, is that even outdoors and indoors aren't mentally separated all that well inside Will's mental space. The shelves, grids, cubbyholes and straight lines, everywhere, tell us that he does keep that space extremely well organized.

The painting in the Turner dining room has what looks like a seated woman cradling a baby. It looks so familiar. It's driving me crazy that I can't figure out what it is.

And there is a bird painting on the Crawfords' bedroom wall that is just like the ones Hannibal sold as a teenager.

S1E10 Buffet Froid: Flambeau, Creel Bag

Carried by Will Graham during his imaginary fishing trip.

Fashion

S1E10 Buffet Froid: Michael by Michael Kors, brown leather jacket

Beverly wears this passim in season 1, but it is not the same jacket as the one she wears the first time we see her character in Apéritif. Beverly does not seem like the type to own more than one brown leather jacket; but I guess they need airing from time to time? And if they're a staple in her wardrobe I guess it makes sense.

Beverly is not quite that character who has a whole wardrobe of identical outfits, Daria-style, but nearly. She always wears black skinny jeans or dress pants that are indistinguishable from skinny jeans; unfeasibly high heeled boots (considering she stands all day long for her job); a navy, burgundy or snake-print button-down shirt or sometimes a black ribbed sweater; and a leather (brown, black/brown, or red) or sheepskin jacket except for that one time in Oeuf when we see her wearing a tailored and pressed version of a green army jacket. Also, that time in Takiawase she talks to Jack, she has on a blousy top which stands out as unusual for her.

I do not believe we see Beverly wearing a skirt even once. This makes her unusual among the female characters; let's take stock:

Abigail - always wears skinny jeans, except for that one short blue skirt with the tribal feather pattern we saw her in in Apéritif.

S1/S2 Alana - always wears skirts or dresses throughout S1 and S2, except for:
- the deleted scene in S1 where she is wearing grey pants or jeans
- the scene running with the dogs in Kaiseki where she is wearing black leggings
- and the scene walking the dogs in the woods with Jack where she is wearing skinny blue jeans.

S3 Alana - switches over to all pants suits all the time, except for that scene in Contorno where she and Mason talk to Pazzi, where she is wearing a paisley skirt. If you count the promo stills, she wears a black dress in those, but it never appears in the show.

Bedelia - always wears skirts or dresses, except for one scene in Antipasto where she wears pants. This scene was cut specifically because the wardrobe looked bad on her. Which means that Bedelia is a gold-star skirt woman and a worthy opponent to Beverly who is a gold-star pants woman.

S1E10 Buffet Froid: Edward L. Cox, John P. Fiebig, and O.C. Tuttle: illustrations for patents for fishing flies.

All the characters have infographics of their favourite interests, except Jack, who has individual pictures of himself playing college football. Hannibal has his surgical tools as mentioned above; Alana has infographics of dogs.

S1 & S2 passim: Corneliani, layered overcoat

Worn by Hannibal in S1 and S2.

S1E13 Savoureux: Burberry London, Collingdale overcoat

Worn by Hannibal as he is tenderly and caringly taking Will into custody.

S1E13 Savoureux: Diane von Furstenberg, New Jeanne dress

Worn by Alana while screaming at Jack: "I told you not to put him out there!"

The print is a vintage reprint from a 1974 design. This is the kind of thing that contributes to the timelessness and time obfuscation of the show. The cut of a DvF dress has remained the same over several decades.

It looks like she's splashed with blood - never mind "out, damned spot", I reckon Vanish is just not equal to the task. My friend also commented that the pattern looks like slabs of meat.

Appropriate.

S1E13 Savoureux: Haute Hippie, cowl wrap blouse

Worn by Bedelia when Hannibal brings her the Dinner o'Implied Abigail. Note that this blouse is not the same make and model as the one in the previous episode, even though it's the same brand.

This briefcase is expensive, but Will's choosing this brand says a lot about him, being tasteful and of the highest quality but without any aspect of material indulgence or extravagance.
