这组精美的画作展示了拉斐尔前派对自然世界的关注与时代对所有植物事物的热情如何奇妙地交织在一起。
拉斐尔前派运动虽然短暂,但影响力很大,它的推动力是对学术艺术惯例的拒绝以及对中世纪和文艺复兴早期艺术的审美简单性和道德真诚的渴望。但这也恰逢时代对植物学、园艺和插花的痴迷。结果,罗塞蒂、米莱斯和休斯等画家在他们的作品中融入了充满宗教和文化意义的花卉符号。这本令人惊叹的书探讨了这些作品中伟大的作品,包括哈姆雷特的奥菲莉亚、圣母玛利亚的肖像,以及希腊神话和中世纪传说中的人物。每个条目都有整页的绘画复制品,并附有较小的细节和引人入胜的文字,提供引人入胜的背景和上下文线索,以加深读者对拉斐尔前派语言的欣赏。 这本书就像夏末的花束一样郁郁葱葱、色彩缤纷,是送给鲜花爱好者以及浪漫艺术爱好者的完美礼物。 This exquisite collection of paintings illustrates just how marvelously the Pre- Raphaelites’ focus on the natural world intersected with the Victorian passion for all things botanical.
Short-lived but highly influential, the Pre-Raphaelite movement was fueled by a rejection of academic artistic conventions and a longing for the aesthetic simplicity and moral sincerity of medieval and early Renaissance art. But it also coincided with a Victorian obsession with botany, gardening and flower arranging. As a result, painters such as Rosetti, Millais and Hughes populated their works with floral symbols that were steeped in religious and cultural significance. This stunning book examines the greatest of these works, including portraits of Hamlet’s Ophelia, the Virgin Mary, and figures from Greek mythology and medieval lore. Each entry features a full-page reproduction of the painting, accompanied by smaller details and an engaging text that offers fascinating background and contextual clues to deepen readers’ appreciation of the Pre- Raphaelite language. As lush and colorful as a late summer bouquet, this book is the perfect gift for lovers of flowers as well as for fans of romantic Victorian art.
