耶稣形象在西方美术史上的变迁

The Image Change of Jesus Christ in Western Art History

宗教与艺术的关系至为密切。耶稣形象在西方艺术的发展历程中,经历了由最初的表意符号到神圣的代言者,再到饱含人性的光辉形象,进而到颠覆与超越的组合体,这一系列变化是随着社会文化思潮的变迁而不断演变的,这也与人类艺术精神由神圣到世俗、再由世俗到理想的发展方向是相一致的。本文通过梳理分析西方美术史上的耶稣形象,以期实现艺术、宗教和文化的互文性研究。

Religion and art are closely related with each other. The image of Jesus Christ goes through several stages in the progress of western art： from the symbol to convey meanings and tell biblical stories to the spokesman of Christianity; then from the glorious image which is full of humanity to the constitution of subversion and transcendence. It develops with the social and ideological trend,and also with the spirit of art which changes from holiness to the world,then from the world to the ideal of human being. In this essay the author divides the image of Jesus Christ into several chapters according to the important stages in the development of art history,and tries to study it inter- textually in art,religion and culture.
