Antero, or the Given Name
Putting Antero de Quental in perspective with Vincent van Gogh and Salvador Dali, a biographical fact is common to all three. All of them were named after an older brother who died while still a baby a short time before. It is as if the brother who came next only existed to perpetuate the presence of the deceased brother, given, in particular, the blend of love and mourning in the figure of the mother. When she calls the name of the living son, it is the dead son who looks at her. This generates a broad conflict of identity and a sense of psychic fragmentation, due to the fact of occupying the place of a dead other, and giving a body to the mother’s desire to negate the death of another son. Who is the person in the name of Antero?
