but these three individuals, one known as the roving baronet, a poet and friend of rousseau, they actually hosted a medieval costume party. what does that sound like? in 1783, in the woods of st. george's property near bristol, st. george orchestrates a grand medieval pageant that seward, boothby and fuseli attend. benedict arnold is dressed as fuseli is dressed as the great painter. boothby is dressed as a knight in armor. they go out in the woods and rescue fair maidens and battle demons, and seward is there writing poetry as they are doing this, really wild, really wild. i wonder if this is st. george expressing himself in a theatrical way. also, helping to make his memories of, deal with his memories of the war and maybe fight a war the way he wanted it to be fought. i am curious about that. he continues his friendship with fuseli. there is another one of his works. penelope boothby was his five-year-old daughter who passed away suddenly. he had fuseli commission that painting of her apotheosis into heaven. this is richard st. george's wife, stephanie st. george, and their oldest son.
