彼得·保罗·鲁本斯（Peter Paul Rubens，1577年6 月28日－1640年5 月30日），佛兰德斯画家，是巴洛克画派早期的代表人物。从1621 年至1630 年间，鲁本斯得到西班牙王室的委任，出访欧洲多国进行外交工作，鲁本斯本人也显然很喜欢这种外交工作，曾评论说“画画是我的职业，当大使是我的爱好。” 鲁本斯对欧洲绘画产生过重大影响，包括德拉克洛瓦 (Eugène Delacroix)、康斯太勃尔(John Constable)和雷诺瓦(Pierre-Auguste Renoir)等人，都受到过他的画风的影响。(http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/彼得·保罗·鲁本斯)作者: ngsunyu 时间: 2010-4-26 05:53 本帖最后由 ngsunyu 于 2010-4-26 05:59 编辑
Seven Sacraments Altarpiece (七圣礼祭坛画), 1445-50, by Rogier van der Weyden (罗杰范德韦登), Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp.
The subject of this triptych is the Seven Sacraments. Of the Christian sacraments - acts conferring grace - Protestants generally recognize two, Baptism and Communion, and the Catholics seven, which comprise, in addition, Confirmation, Penance (Confession), Extreme Unction, Holy Orders and Matrimony, the last two still being mutually exclusive. They are seen on medieval fonts and as altarpiece cycles in early Netherlandish painting, where the subject seems to have had greater appeal, at least until the 17th century. The triptych of Rogier van der Weyden is a good example of these altarpieces.
We see an acuteness of observation in the Altar of the Sacraments. The Calvary sequence takes place in the interior of a light, spacious church, whose carefully executed details immediately catch the viewer's eye. The seven sacraments are presented around the central crucifixion group accompanied by an angel with a banderole. The importance of the action in the central panel is emphasised by the size of the depicted personages compared to the figures in the side panels. The emotion of the central characters - Saint John and the three Marys - who are overcome with grief, is a characteristic feature of Van der Weyden's art. It is thought that the triptych was commissioned in 1441 by the Bishop of Tournai, Jean Chevrot, for the altar of his private chapel. Van der Weyden portrays him on the left of the painting, as the bishop administering Confirmation.
Van der Weyden was probably helped by his assistants during the execution of the Altar of the Sacraments. (http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html? ... sevens/0sevens.html)作者: ngsunyu 时间: 2010-4-27 07:57 本帖最后由 ngsunyu 于 2010-4-27 08:26 编辑
