"Your face embodies all that is tender in the world. Your eyes are as dark as the green-blue sea - they draw me irresistibly to you. A painfully soft smile plays on your mouth, as if you wanted to ask me forgiveness for something...Your profile is that of a Madonna - your lips part gently as if in pain. Anxiously I ask if you are feeling sad - but you just whisper, I am in love with you..." (Edward Munch, to Sigurd Høost, cited in R. Stang, Edvard Munch: The Man and the Artist, London 1979, p. 178).
Eva Mudocci was a famous British violinist (her real name was Evangeline Hope Muddock, but like a number of British musicians at the time she felt that a continental sounding name would be a professional advantage). Munch met her in Paris in 1902 and their relationship lasted for several years. Though he tried repeatedly to paint her, he eventually gave up, completing instead three lithographs.
Eva said of sitting for Munch: "He wanted to paint a perfect portrait of me, but each time he began an oil painting he destroyed it, because he was not happy with it. He had more success with the lithographs, and the stones that he used were sent up to our room in the Hotel Sans Souci in Berlin. One of these, the so-called Madonna (The Brooch), was accompanied by a note that said 'Here is the stone that fell from my heart' (Eva Mudocci to W. Stabell, cited in W. Stabell, Edvard Munch og Eva Mudocci, Oslo 1973, p. 217).
