Classical Beauties
by Adolphe-William Bouguereau

阿多菲·威廉·波格鲁的古典美人

 


 

瓦耶荷笔下的性感美女,尽管其画的主题多是洪荒时代或 者幻象之境,与空山基一样大多带着极浓重的现代女性的影子。 我们不妨来看看古典画家又是如何表现女性美的。这里所展出的三幅 画为法国学院派古典画家阿多菲·威廉·波格鲁的作品,深为国师 所钟爱。分别题为《傍晚的思绪》、《维纳斯的诞生》和《劫持赛西》。
As we have seen in those female figures of Boris Vallejo, although his subjects are mostly involved with remote times and fantansy lands, they look more or less like modern women, the same as Sorayama Hajime's pin-up's. Now let's take a look on how a classical artist would do to reveal female beauty. Displayed here are three paintings of Adolphe-William Bouguereau, a great painter of last century educated at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in France. All of the three paintings are most favorites of His Holiness the Grand Master. They are respectively entitled as "Evening Mood", "The Birth of Venus" and "The Abduction of Psyche"
