The beauty of the young woman drowned in the Seine
It can be scabrous, but they say that there has never been a corpse more beautiful than that of this woman.This story has its origin at some imprecise moment of the late nineteenth century, when the lifeless body of a girl appeared in the Seine .The authorities did not know what to do to find out its origin or what was her name.No one had denounced no disappearance, there was no witness to what happened and they only had the silent lifeless body of a girl between 15 or 20 years old, which nobody claimed.
They had no other idea but to expose it for a few days at the funeral home in Paris, waiting for someone to recognize her, but it wasn't like that.No one came.And throughout all those hours, the pathologist who took care of his body, could not help being fascinated by the serenity of the young woman's expression.There was so much calm and so much beauty, that I ended up asking a sculptor who took the plaster cast from the girl's features.
And then, the legend emerged.No one claimed the body, so I ended up being buried in a common grave, however, I remain her face, her beauty, her enigma printed on that mask...They called her "The Drowned Mona Lisa", because she shared with the famous work of Da Vinci that placid smile that drew a thousand and one riddles.very well as, they began to make copies and copies of that mask, of that face, reaching all corners of France.And later...all over Europe.
It was inspiration for many books , poems and works of art. Vladimir Nabokob , for example, became obsessed with her, so that in a short time, I ended up crossing more and more borders until being that face that every fashion salon or house distinguished that it was prized had already hung on the wall.
The story of the mysterious girl of the Seine had not gone beyond a simple fashion, if in the mid-twentieth century, Pete Sefar, pioneer of medicine of emergencies, he would think that to teach his students the technique of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) he would need a doll with which to simulate such vital maneuver.To create this doll I trust a famous Norwegian toy maker, Asmund Laerdal.He must be a very special mannequin, the artist thought, and he must have a kind and feminine image so that the practices were more pleasant for the students.
It was then that I remember that face that hung in his grandparents' house.That serene face of a woman that so much called his attention as a child.He was the "unknown of the Seine", she It was the inspiration to create the famous doll with which more than 300 million people have been trained since then.They called her Resusci Anne and is, as you can imagine, the most kissed woman in the world.
