论乔托阿雷纳礼拜堂壁画项目创作的现实依据

On the Realistic Basis of Giotto’s Arena Chapel Frescos Program

乔托·迪·邦多内是文艺复兴初期的代表艺术家之一,被公认为是“西方绘画之父”。意大利帕多瓦地区的阿雷纳礼拜堂装饰有他的五十余幅壁画作品,其中包含展现圣经故事内容的壁画,及位于教堂底层南北墙上的七善七罪拟人化形象。乔托本人的绘画技艺及其创新思维,当地的天使报喜节活动,以及他的赞助人恩里克·史格罗维尼的委托赞助,共同构成了此壁画项目创作的现实依据。

Giotto di Bondone is one of the most famous artists during the time of early Renaissance,who is known as"the father of western painting". His splendid Arena Chapel frescos Program contains more than 50 works,which are about the stories of Bible and the personifications of seven virtues and vices. The realistic basis of this program consists of Giotto’s painting skills,his innovative thinking,local procession on Annunciation day,and his patron Enrico Scrovegni’s sponsorship.
