Józef Poniatowski’s women.

Part V. The rest of ladies who might have been of some interest to him

Good day everyone and let me share with the rest of information I possess on Prince Poniatowski's love interests. (Though, I have to admit, the ladies from this list were the least likely - from all the mentioned in these series of post - to have some kind of affair with Pepi.

To start I would like by Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the queen of Prussia.

On the right - unidentified artist, miniature portrait of Prince Poniatowski, 19th century. On the left - portrait of Queen Louise by Giuseppe Grassi, 1802.

Prince Józef had the opportunity to meet the wife of the king Frederick William III at least four times, because the royal couple visited Warsaw - which had become a part of Prussia as a result of the third partition of Poland - three times, in 1798, 1802 and 1805. And in 1802 Poniatowski himself had to go to Berlin, to settle the matter of the inheritance left by his uncle Stanisław August.

According to Juliusz Fałkowski, while at Warsaw Prince Józef "…gave a ball and a dinner in the Copper-Roof palace in their honor [the King and Queen of Prussia - A.S.] and was flirting with the Queen everywhere", for which he received the star of the black eagle, although he rather "expected something else from the beautiful queen." After the departure of the royal couple, "he longed a little for the crowned beauty who had easily won his heart in passing."

An Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun painting of Queen Louise, c. 1801

The second source that mentions the relationship between these two is the book by Marian Brandys "Kozietulski i inni", which states (without giving sources, unfortunately) that during Pepi's visit to the capital of Prussia "… it was also said that the beautiful Queen Louise fell in love with in a knightly Pole."

However, if you ask my opinion about the likelihood of an affair between Pepi and the Queen of Prussia, I will say that in my opinion he was "flirting" her to make it easier to solve the inheritance problem. As for the fact that she could also be in love with the prince, I have no opinion because my knowledge about Queen Louise is not very great.

The second lady in today's list will be prince Józef's first cousin once removed, Anetka Potocka (née Tyszkiewicz, the daughter of Konstancja Poniatowska and a grand-daughter of prince Kazimierz, the oldest of the Poniatowski siblings).

On the left - Poniatowski's portrait by Franciszek Paderewski, on the right - Portrait of Anetka Tyszkiewiczówna, Giuseppe Grassi, 1796.

Born in 1779, she was 16 years younger than Pepi, and she remained unmarried for quite a long time, becoming the wife of the Count Aleksander Potocki in 1805. (Marian Brandys, in the biography of Anetka's uncle prince Stanisław, states that some time before 1791 there was an idea to join all the Poniatowski estates marring Stanisław to his niece, but it was eventually abandoned.) The marriage brought them three children, but after 16 years Anetka asked for divorce and then wedded Colonel Stanisław Dunin-Wąsowicz. During the times of the Duchy of Warsaw, she was a frequent guest at the Copper Roof Palace, visited Paris, witnessed Napoleon's sojourns in Warsaw, with all of those events been described later in her memoirs.

Portrait of Countess Dunin Wąsowicz, Anna née Tyszkiewicz, 1836.

As for her relationship with Prince Józef, it were her own words that made Fałkowski write that "the beautiful prince fell in love with Anetka" although "it was a platonic feeling".

"… Mrs. Aleksandrowa (Anetka Potocka - AS ) herself half-admitted thisin her old age. ''On disait alors que le Prince Joseph avait pour moi un sentiment plus tendre que l'amitié (it was said that Prince Joseph had for me a feeling more tender than friendship),' she would recalled with a dreamy expression on her face."

The second thing that leads historians to believe that Pepi could have distinguished this cousin of his from other relatives is the provision in his will, according to which she was to receive, after the death of the prince's sister, Teresa Tyszkiewicz, his favorite palace in Jabłonna near Warsaw. And when this did happen, Anetka ordered a triumphal arch to be built in the park in memory of Prince Józef.

The palace in Jabłonna, 2019

The triumphal arch from Jabłonna's park, 2019

And collage of mine is an illustration to the part dedicated to the rest of the women, whose portraits I wasn't able find. And honestly, the evidence that they might have been Prince Józef's love interests is very weak. But, since historians from time to time do mention these ladies' names, I thought them worth being included as well…

For example, in the prince's testament, together with Henriette de Vauban, Zofia Czosnowska and the above mentioned Anetka Potocka, there was mentioned Elżbieta Merlini, the daughter of Dominique Merlini, an Italian architect, the last main builder of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. But such concern for the architect's daughter may have been explained by a sense of moral debt to her father, which the prince Józef inherited from King Stanisław with the rest of the things.

Then, the list of Pepi's women sometimes complemented by another "Elżbieta" - Cichocka (although her real names were Emilia Karolina - or Katarzyna) née Bachmińska I° voto Szymanowska, II° voto Cichocka, III° voto Abramowiczowa. It is said she even sojourned in Jabłonna before 1810, until being apparently forced by Zofia Czosnowska to leave the place. After that Madame Cichocka went to Vilna, where she married her third husband. However, what IMHO should be taken into account in regards with this lady is that her second husband, Michał Cichocki, was an illegitimate son of Stanisław August, which might have made Prince Józef consider her a relative and thus take care about.

The same can be said about Madame Kicka - Józefa Martyna Rozalia née Szydłowska, who was a sister of Elżbieta Grabowska, another mistress of King Stanisław.

Sometimes the names of women who were friends and companions of Madame de Vauban are also included to the list of prince Józef's love interests. Those are: Anna Krasińska, a relative of general Krasiński and the wife of Mikołaj Oppeln-Bronikowski; Salomea Wielhorska née Dembińska; Anna Trębicka née Czerska, future wife of general Kamieniecki, and Józefa Potocka née Sollohub.

PS. As the regular visitors to the Copper Roof Palace are as well mentioned two ladies of the surname Walewska: Józefina née Lubomirska, the wife of Adam Walewski and the future wife General Witt, and Maria, the wife of Anastazy Walewski. The first of them was known for her kind of loose behavior, so presumably she might have at least flirted with Pepi; the second one is the famous Maria Walewska, but all I know about her makes me think her love for the emperor left no room in her heart for other men.

Portrait of Countess Maria Theresia Bucquoi, née Parr, 1793

Elisabeth Louise Vigée-Le Brun

Oil on canvas

At the age of 24, Vigée-LeBrun executed her first portrait of Queen Marie-Antoinette of France, and over the course of her career, remained the principal portraitist of the French aristocracy. On the night that revolutionaries arrested Louis XVI and his queen in 1789, Vigée-Le Brun fled France and went into exile traveling throughout Europe for 12 years.

Countess Maria Theresia Bucquoi was the daughter of Prince Johann Joseph Paar (1719-1792) and Countess Antonia Esterhazy (1719-1771), and the wife of Count Johann Josef Bucquoi (died 1803). The portrait was commissioned in 1793 by the sitter's brother, Prince Wenzel Paar. Vigée-LeBrun specifically recalls the painting in her Souvenirs when referring to the hospitality accorded to her by her Austrian patrons during her stay in Vienna. Upon its completion, the portrait was displayed in the salon of the palace of Prince Paar.

Retrato da princesa Juliana “Julie” de Saxe-Coburgo-Saalfeld, pintado em 1796 por Elisabeth Louise Vigée-LeBrun. Casada com o grão-duque Constantino Pavlovich da Rússia, ela levava uma existência infeliz ao lado do marido. Depois de se converter à religião Ortodoxa e adotar o nome de Ana Feodorovna, ela foi muito bem recebida na corte do czar Paulo I, que adorava seus modos e conversa agradável. A popularidade da esposa fez com que o grão-duque ficasse bastante enciumado e a tratasse mal. Ele a proibia de participar de eventos sociais, exceto em sua companhia. Em 1799, quando Julie teve que fazer uma viagem para tratar da saúde, ela quis regressar, pois sua vida em São Petersburgo ao lado do marido insuportável. Como não obteve apoio da família em Coburgo, não lhe restou opção a não ser voltar a tempo de estar presente nos casamentos de suas cunhadas, Alexandra e Helena.

Com o assassinato do czar Paulo I em 1801, Julie alegou novamente que sua saúde se encontrava em estado grave. O novo czar, Alexandre I, consentiu que ela retornasse junto com a mãe, a duquesa Augusta, para fazer um tratamento com águas termais. Dessa vez, a grã-duquesa nunca mais regressou. Nos próximos 19 anos, Ana Feodorovna travou uma árdua batalha judicial para conseguir um divórcio do marido. Nesse meio tempo, ela manteve um caso amoroso com Rodolphe Abraham de Schiferli, do qual resultou no nascimento de uma filha bastarda. A despeito de todas as tentativas de Alexandre I em conseguir a reaproximação da grã-duquesa com seu irmão, Constantino, Ana/Julie conseguiu um divórcio em 1820. Essa história se tornou matéria de fofoca em muitas cortes da Europa.

Só podemos imaginar o quanto dela a pequena Alexandrina Vitória de Hanôver, princesa de Kent, absorveu. Ela não só era afilhada do czar Alexandre como foi batizada em sua homenagem. Na opinião de Coryne Hall, a relação da futura rainha com os Romanov era multifacetada. Ela nutria franca simpatia por alguns membros da família imperial, enquanto para outros reservava o oposto.

Elisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun French 1755-1842 “Portrait of Natalia Zakharovna Kolycheva” 1799 Oil on canvas Photo is taken by: @robertpuffjr Born into an artistic family, Vigée-Lebrun took drawing lessons from her father and began working as a professional artist as a teenager. She became Queen Marie Antoinette's official portrait painter, and in 1783 she was admitted into the French Royal Academy. Forced into exile at the onset of the French Revolution, Vigée-Lebrun continued to be a sought-after portraitist. While living in Russia, she painted this striking portrait of Natalia Zakharovna Kolycheva, a member of the nobility. The artist presented her sitter as a refined and educated woman: she reads a French play and wears fashionable clothing, gold jewelry, and a classicizing hair accessory. The artist was both celebrated and criticized for idealizing her sitters through the supple brushwork, rich hues, and soft lighting so skillfully demonstrated here.
