穿越人神之界的目光——读阿拉斯《拉斐尔的异象灵见》

Visions over the Boundary between Humans and Gods: A Review of Visions of Raphael by Daniel Arasse

艺术史家阿拉斯将目光对准了文艺复兴盛期的几幅名作,他以一种对图像细节的异常敏感唤起了对历史真相的认知。本文试图从阿拉斯对于画面边缘及空间分界的独特理解中,找出一种宗教绘画中表现空间区隔的方式,这种方式不同于一般意义上的史学史梳理,而是侧重于观看,以及通过观看引发的图像问题。他敏锐的目光就可以当作是一种"灵见",足以刷新我们对于拉斐尔的传统看法。

Through a kind of extreme sensitivity to pictorial details, the art historian Daniel Arasse, focusing on some masterpieces of High Renaissance, evokes our awareness of historical truth in his book. This essay attempts to find a way to depicting different spaces in religious painting through Arasse’s unique understanding of pictorial edges and spatial boundaries, which is different from the historiographical way of arrangement in a general sense, but puts emphasis upon seeing, as well as picture problems caused by seeing. His sharp eyes could be viewed as a ＂Vision＂ that is enough to refresh our traditional view of Raphael.
