由《天王送子图》和《西斯廷圣母》比较东西方宗教画的艺术特色

On Artistic Characteristics of Chinese and Western Religious Paintings from Born of Gautama Buddha and the Sistine Madonna

宗教画历来是东西方绘画的重要内容。然而,由于地域、政治、历史、技法、思想等各方面的差异,东西方宗教画历来表现出迥异的风格。中国吴道子的《天王送子图》,以线造型,讲究起伏变化,人物神情动作略具夸张意味,整幅画面色彩鲜艳华丽;意大利拉菲尔的《西斯廷圣母》,采用焦点透视法造型,人物形象写实生动,整幅画面的色彩明净柔和,并与用光达到了完美统一。

Religious painting has always been the main component of both western and eastern paintings. However, due to differences in region, politics, techniques and ideology, western and eastern religious paintings take different styles. Born of Gautama Buddha by Wu Daozi, the color of which is very bright, is modeled by bold lines with fluctuant change and exaggerated human expression and poses. By contrast, the Sistine Madonna by Raphael, an Italian painter, is modeled by focus perspective with vivid image of person and clean - soft color, which also achieves the perfect unity with the use of light.
