les mains de la douleur ne réclament plus leur lumière ; dans le noir qu’elles auscultent comme un corps impossible, elles ont déjà commencé à sculpter ce qui peut nous faire croire à une présence oubliée, à une présence déjà partie ; la lamentation est une souffrance qui gesticule déjà dans l’éternité ; là est sa victoire ; l’éternité qui n’interpelle jamais, qui n’est que gestes muets, miettes invisibles jetées au visage de l’impassible

Niccolò dell’Arca - complete seven-figure grouping of Lamentation over the Dead Christ - terrracotta - 1463

Lamentation over Dead Christ is a sculptural group of seven terracotta figures  housed in the “Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Vita” — a Baroque church in Bologna, Italy. The work is composed of life-size figures in terracotta displaying dramatic pathos. The expressions of grief and torment on the faces is intensified by the realism of their dramatic facial details. Christ is at the center lying with his head reclining on a pillow. Around him are the other figures, Mary of Cleophas and at the feet of Christ, Mary Magdalene, torn by pain with clothes swelled by the wind. The other figures are more composed, even as their faces show their pain and grief. The Madonna has her hands folded and clenched. Mary, the mother of James the Greater and John the Evangelist, is shown squeezing her thighs in a gesture of regret, while Saint John is silently weeping, with a palm under his chin. Detached from the other witnesses is the figure kneeling in Renaissance clothes, on the left, representing the artist Giuseppe D’Arimatea and looking towards the observer. The drama and the pathos of some of these figures are unrivaled in the art and culture of the time. Scholars argue that Niccolò dell’Arca drew inspiration from the realistic sculpture of Burgundy, with its focus on Renaissance Humanism. The Burgundian elements in his sculpture are attributed by some art historians to his work in Naples with the Catalan sculptor Guillem Sagrera who influenced by his style. Others reject this theory and suggest that he traveled to France in the late 1460s and then worked in Siena, where he was influenced by the works of Jacopo della Quercia and Donatello.

The theme of the Lamentation of Christ is common in medieval and Renaissance art, although this treatment by Niccolò dell’Arca is unusual for the period.

lamentation sirius black & walburga black teen | 2.1k words

they would give me a guest room at the top of the house, where a view of london unfolded before me like a pen-and-ink drawing, and the walls were soft and pink, their paper patterned with undulating roses. the house seemed, then, like a paradise.

but that was before. before they sold me to a man i did not love. before my sons were born. 

my sons are both dead now.

walburga's portrait is told that sirius is dead.

this piece was written for @womenofthehouseofblack fest, [you can find the other fics in the collection here].

author's notes under the cut

i found the prompt for this piece - what would happen when walburga's portrait was informed of sirius' death - immediately intriguing, because walburga’s portrait is a character i find incredibly interesting; firstly, because she is described in ways which make her sound ancient when she actually died in her early sixties, and secondly, because she provides a fascinating insight into how the wizarding world thinks about mental illness.

i have always hated the fanon about black family madness - particularly since it is so frequently only applied to the women of the family - due to the way in which it undermines the harry potter series’ focus on the value of choice. turning walburga and bellatrix’s cruelty into something innate or genetic distances them from the reality of what they did and how their decisions affected other people. it also prevents them from having complicated emotions and motivations, and - above all - it prevents them from having the capacity to atone for their deeds.

it also denies the fact that a huge amount of mental illness is treatable.

i have always had the headcanon that walburga’s relationship with her sons was affected by untreated postnatal depression - also a theme in nor all that glisters gold [author’s notes here], another piece of mine for this fest - which is exacerbated in lamentation by the additional pain of her high-risk pregnancy and traumatic birth experience with sirius. unable to bond with her son, who she thinks is a changeling, but confined to the house with him by the rigidity of gendered pureblood social convention, her illness spirals into psychosis.

the wizarding world seems to be of the opinion that mental illness doesn’t really exist. when this is examined through the lens of gender, an obvious parallel appears between women’s writing about mental illness in the nineteenth century - walburga, who is, in canon, a pastiche of the madwoman in the attic [the most famous example of which is, of course, bertha rochester from jane eyre] deserves an examination from the other side of the trope. the repeated motif in lamentation of the roses in the wallpaper is a reference to charlotte perkins gilman’s the yellow wallpaper - one of the clearest examples of the damage done to victorian women by the isolation and condescension they received from men in lieu of any holistic treatment for their illness. walburga’s dialogue - the portrait’s screams competing with a more lucid monologue - was inspired by the contrast between how antoinette "bertha" rochester speaks in jane eyre and how she speaks in jean rhys’ wide sargasso sea.

and, as antoinette gets a chance to speak for herself in that text, walburga gets a chance to speak for herself here - something she is denied in the canon narrative, which reduces her to an incoherent, screaming bigot [even as kreacher tells us that sirius leaving home broke her heart]. lamentation offers some contextualisation for the canonical walburga’s obsession with blood and its purity - she does, after all, a significant amount of bleeding in this piece, which naturally distresses her - and with belonging to and being a real member of the family - after all, regulus was snatched by the fairies, and dragged down into the netherworld; sirius left and then came back and then was snatched himself.

an important postscript: both postnatal and antenatal depression are common conditions. they affect more than one in ten pregnant women, they can strike anyone in any circumstances [you can experience them even if your pregnancy was "easy" or if you have a lot of support in the first weeks of your baby’s life], and they are never your fault. they can be serious - and it’s crucial that we challenge the pervasive myth that they are "less serious" than other forms of depression - but they are inherently treatable. the best thing that you can do is to know the signs of these and other perinatal mental illnesses, whether for yourself or for someone else, and make sure to seek help if any of them seem to be present. a diagnosis of postnatal depression does not mean that you will be seen as an unfit parent, and it will not automatically result in your baby being taken away.
