177659527s. l.: S. n. 1776. Fine. S. n. s. l. Circa 1776 32 x 40.50 cm une feuille encadrée Original drawing in ink and watercolor. Modern frame. Drawing made during the journey with the Marquis de Sade in 1776. Jean-Baptiste Tierce 1737-1794 student at the École des Beaux-arts in Rouen then at the Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris quickly distinguished himself as a landscape painter for his views of Southern France and Italy. His paintings are preserved in the Uffizi in Florence and in several French museums. When in December 1775 Sade left Rome for Naples he was welcomed by the son-in-law of his friend Doctor Mesny Jean-Baptiste Tierce who at that time received commissions from Cardinal de Bernis. He found lodging for the Marquis ""who intended to see everything in the region learn about everything judge admire criticize love hate in short to give free rein to that insatiable and passionate curiosity which led him into museums galleries churches palaces and libraries as well as into caves vaults catacombs and even into the bowels of volcanoes. He was not content to contemplate works of art ancient or modern monuments he also observed customs politics religion administration social life. The beauty of women worldly customs the quality of performances ways of eating drinking dressing praying conducting oneself in society: nothing left him indifferent. He wanted to grasp all the present and all the past of this civilization to embrace it entirely in a single and universal vision. A gigantic program matching his exceptional imagination but which he no longer had to fulfill which it was impossible for him to fulfill. Yet such was his first ambition as a writer: grandiose excessive. With this 'great work' in view Sade took hasty notes at roadsides or in inns which he completed with notes from his correspondents Mesny and Iberti. Thus was built this monument he intended for the public but which would not see the light of day until the twentieth century. Jean-Baptiste Tierce collaborated closely: he reread the notes and recorded his observations in small notebooks with numbers referring to the works described. Sade took the greatest account of them. Often the painter accompanied him on his walks his sketch pad in hand drawing the buildings and landscapes they had before their eyes. A hundred of these drawings and gouaches were recently found in the Sade family archives. They give the Voyage en Italie the appearance of a true reportage."" Maurice Levert Sade pp. 283-284.

178059110s. l.: S. n. 1780. Fine. S. n. s. l. 17 août 1780 10 x 16 cm 2 pages sur un feuillet Handwritten letter to his wife. Sufferance and philosophy: Punish as much as you like but do not kill me: I did not deserve it . Ah! If you could read to the bottom of my heart see everything that happens there I think you would give up using it!August 17 1780 10 x 16 cm loose leaves Handwritten letter from the Marquis de Sade addressed to his wife. One recto-verso leaf written in fine tight writing. It has the partial date at the top ce jeudi 17 this Thursday 17th. Two slight signs of folding. The end of the letter was mutilated at the time probably by the prison administration which destroyed the Marquis' licentious correspondence. So several months later in March 1781 his wife wrote to him: My dear you really must change your style so that your letters can reach me whole. If you give the truth it offends turns against you. If you give any untruths they say: this is an incorrigible man always with the same head that ferments ungrateful false etc. In any case your style can only harm you. So change it. The letter was found as it was when in 1948 the Marquis' trunk that had been sealed by the family since 1814 was open and it was published in this reduced form in the correspondence of the Marquis de Sade. Provenance: family archives. This letter was written on 17 August 1780 during the Marquis' incarceration in Vincennes Prison. Following the umpteenth altercation with the prison guard the right to go for a walk was taken away from him on 27 June and was not reinstated until 9 March the following year. The Marquis' physical and mental health is strongly affected by not being able to go out and he constantly begs Renée-Pélagie for the right to be quickly reinstated: I urge you to let me get some fresh air: I absolutely cannot take it any longer. The suffering caused by these deprivations is a pretext for setting up a mechanism of guilt and blackmail with his wife: There three days that I have felt an awful dizziness with blood rushing to my head so much so that I do not know how I have not fainted. One of these days they will find me dead and you will be responsible after having warned you as I do and having asked you for the help which I need to avoid it. Here the Marquis is intentionally pulling on Renée-Pélagie's heartstrings really putting her Christian values to the test and giving her the role of grand inquisitor: You can grant me what I ask for whilst keeping on your signal the same strength. We note as in Tancrède's letter a new appearance of signal which masks completely different semantics. An essential component of the Marquis' prison mindset this encoded language like the fantasised interpretations of his correspondents' letters feeds the theories of researchers philosophers mathematicians. and poet biographers. As such Gilbert Lely estimates that far from being symptomatic of psychosis the return to signals is his psyche's defence reaction a subconscious struggle against despair where without the help of such a distraction his motivation could have declined. Missing from his correspondence during his eleven years of freedom these enigmatic semantic depths a real challenge to semiological judgement Lever p.637 reappear in his Charenton diary. This letter is also an opportunity for the Marquis to deploy his rhetorical panel confronting the sadistic antonyms in the same sentence. Pleasure is synonymous with abominable revolting cemeteryand garden are superimposed I suffer is conjugated as I enjoy and softness stands alongside darkness. The mastered practice of this eloquence exercise is united with the depths of Sadian thought: sufferance and pleasure are closely mixed simultaneously endured inflicted and desired. Through these associations we glimpse the sensitive Manicheism of the Marquis's philosophical thought which reaches its climax at the S. n. unknown
178159108s. l. Vincennes 1781. Fine. s. l. Vincennes s. d. circa 1781 15.70 x 20.10 cm une feuille SADE Donatien Alphonse François Marquis de Autograph letter to his wife. Hommages à la Présidente: Faire noyer vive l'exécrable coquine qui depuis neuf ans . suce mon sang. N. p. Vincennes Castle n. d. circa 1781 157 x 201 mm 6 3/16 x 7 15/16 single leaf The more I think about it however the more I think you have to have quite a nerve to dare write to a poor suffering unfortunate. Autograph letter unsigned from the Marquis de Sade to his wife. One page closely written in ink on 31 lines. This letter was written during Sade's imprisonment at Vincennes probably in April 1781 if one is to believe the occasional indicators of date referenced by the writer. Sade mentions the end of his exile from Marseilles referring to the decision of the court in Aix-en-Provence to overturn his conviction for debauchery and libertinage on the 14 July 1778 but which nonetheless banned him from living in or visiting Marseilles for three years. Sade also mentions one of the defining episodes of his life his flight to Italy between January and November 1776: they may as well have killed me straight off as left me in that foreign country where I was. Sade also mentions the amazing favor that befell him of moving house which is to say his potential transfer to the fort at Montélimar. In April 1781 Madame de Sade through the good offices of her friend Madame de Sorans got authorization from the King for her husband to be transferred to the prison there. Sade explains in the letter: I think you have to have quite a nerve to dare write to a poor suffering unfortunate who has been beset these nine years.telling him to thank ever so humbly the woman who obtained for him the amazing favor of moving house. Sade is here no doubt referring to the famous Madame de Sorans a lady of Louis XVI's sister's bedchamber and a friend of his wife's who out of a spirit of adventure accepted the task of petitioning the King in his favor. It was to Commissioner Le Noir referenced in this letter that Renée-Pélagie left the task of breaking the news to the prisoner: Ah I see now what this nice little visit by M. Lenoir means I'm used to seeing him in the middle of my incarcerations. Despite the fact that as Pauvert points out in Sade vivant this change of house occupied the Marquis' thoughts to a large extent he was never actually moved preferring to stay in the gaols of the keep at Vincennes. At this point Sade had been imprisoned for several years and this letter full of movement reveals his thirst for freedom. This letter was written when Madame de Sade withdrew to the convent at Sainte-Aure. If she saw this act as a liberation from the yoke of her marriage the Marquis for his part was obsessed by the idea of his own liberation and mentions a potential date: October 1783. His long incarceration which began in 1777 would last till April 1790 when lettres de cachet were abolished. Madame de Sade's visits were not reauthorized by the prison authorities until 13 July 1781 after four years and five months of separation. Several important themes in Sade's correspondence already appear in this letter from his first years in prison. First of all his hatred for his mother-in-law the Présidente de Montreuil an execrable wretch who drinks my blood.disgraces her children who has not yet done scattering her horrific deeds and platitudes and whom he would like to drown alive. The Marquis also complains of his poor physical health: my head spins and in my condition I hardly need any more misery using very Sadean epithets to express his despair. A poor suffering unfortunate who has been beset these nine years; what have I done what have I done dear Lord to suffer for twelve years. Provenance: family archives. unknown
