“
Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.
”
Nino Cesarini (1908) by Paul Höcker
This 1908 painting by German artist Paul Höcker depicts Nino Cesarini, the Italian lover of Baron
Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen . Fersen had fled from France after a sex scandal and built a mansion on
Capri ,
Villa Lysis , where he lived together with Cesarini. The two edited a short-lived literary magazine together,
Akademos , which was partly a discreet defense of homosexual love. A romanticized account of their relationship is given by
Roger Peyrefitte in his 1959 novel
L'Exilé de Capri ("The Exile of Capri").
