V&A博物館是Henry晚上偷偷帶Alex溜出來的約會地點XD 書中有特別提到的是Samson Slaying a Philistine這尊雕像,是文藝復興時期的藝術家Giambologna的作品

這是Giambologna唯一一座不在弗羅倫斯的雕像。這座雕像原本是西班牙國王送給英王查爾斯一世的禮物,後來被查爾斯一世送給了George Villiers。George Villiers是查爾斯的爸爸詹姆斯一世的寵臣,跟查爾斯的關係也很良好。
佐伊雅
詹姆斯很迷戀George Villiers,甚至曾經說過Christ had John, and I have George.這樣的話XD
佐伊雅
以下節錄《Red, White & Royal Blue》相關段落w
佐伊雅
“Precisely.” Henry’s still looking up at the statue, but Alex can’t stop looking at him and the sly smile on his face, lost in his own thoughts. “And James’s son, Charles I, is the reason we have dear Samson. It’s the only Giambologna that ever left Florence.
佐伊雅
He was a gift to Charles from the King of Spain, and Charles gave it, this massive, absolutely priceless masterpiece of a sculpture, to Villiers. And a few centuries later, here he is. One of the most beautiful pieces we own, and we didn’t even steal it. We only needed Villiers and his trolloping ways with the queer monarchs.
佐伊雅
To me, if there were a registry of national gay landmarks in Britain, Samson would be on it.”
佐伊雅
Henry’s beaming like a proud parent, like Samson is his, and Alex is hit with a wave of pride in kind.
佐伊雅
He takes his phone out and lines up a shot, Henry standing there all soft and rumpled and smiling next to one of the most exquisite works of art in the world.
佐伊雅
“What are you doing?”
佐伊雅
“I’m taking a picture of a national gay landmark,” Alex tells him. “And also a statue.”

很喜歡書裡的描述:
佐伊雅
“In here, at night, it’s almost like walking through a real piazza,” Henry says. “But there’s nobody else around to touch you or gawk at you or try to steal a photo of you. You can just be.”
