Sidonie (komiks)

Our story begins with the discovery of a famous painting by Max Švabinský. Behind the calm face in the portrait is an extraordinary woman. History remembers Baroness Sidonie the Magnificent (1885-1950) as the muse who was regularly visited by Rainer Maria Rilke and Karl Kraus at the castle of Vrchotovy Janovice. Through four chapters on her relationships with the most important men in her life, however, we discover yet another personality. Sidonie was not only a perceptive and educated femme fatale, but also a strong and emancipated woman with a rich inner world. She loved art, travel and nature, and was one of the first female environmentalists and driver's license holders in our country. In her letters and diaries, she commented on the dramatic upheavals of the 20th century and the futile efforts to save her family's heritage. Her emphasis on equality, freedom, care for the environment and the development of her own spirit remains inspiring to this day.
