Female verism title for Duke is Duchess
The painter of the duchess in the poem "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning is never explicitly named. The poem suggests that the Duke of Ferrara commissioned the painting.
In "My Last Duchess," the Duke is addressing an emissary who has come to discuss a potential marriage to a new bride. The Duke views his last Duchess as lacking in proper decorum, perceiving her cheerful demeanor and kindness as flaws that diminished his own status. Rather than expressing his displeasure directly, he opted for a more sinister solution, suggesting that he believed his authority and control were paramount, ultimately leading to her demise. This reflects his possessive and authoritarian nature, as he equates her behavior with disrespect towards him.
"My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning is based on a formal occasion of a meeting between the Duke of Ferrara and an emissary seeking a new bride for the Duke. The poem unfolds during a conversation in the Duke's art gallery, where he showcases a portrait of his deceased wife, the last duchess. This setting emphasizes themes of power, jealousy, and the control the Duke exerts over the women in his life.
A duke a male, a duchess is a female.
"My Last Duchess" is about a Duke who is talking to a servant of a man who wants the Duke to marry his daughter. The Duke is with the servant in his house and begins to go on a long explanation of a painting of his "last duchess." He goes on and on, complaining of how terrible she was, that she did not appreciate his riches and his rare name, and that she was too happy. He hints that he somehow got rid of his last duchess. He then explains to his servant about another piece of artwork he has, a statue of Poseidon taming a seahorse, which is an analogy to the Duke and the way he wanted to tame the Duchess. In the end, the Duke and Servant go to talk to the servant's master, but the servant is convinced that the master will not want his daughter to marry the Duke.
