亚里士多德式的沉思——《亚里士多德与荷马半身像》主题探究

Aristotelian Contemplation-Subject Investigation in Aristotle with a Bust of Homer

伦勃朗的《亚里士多德与荷马半身像》是杰出的肖像画之一,但对它的主题存在不同的解读。伦勃朗在继承文艺复兴以来肖像画传统的基础上通过独特的光影别出心裁地设计了亚里士多德、荷马、亚历山大这三位历史伟人的超时空对话,突出了亚里士多德深邃、冷峻又略显孤独的沉思状态,把哲学的沉思与审美的沉思融为一体。伦勃朗塑造沉思的亚里士多德形象,既体现了他独立自由的艺术追求,也体现了他深刻的艺术美学思想。

There are different understandings of Rembrandt's Aristotle with a Bust of Homer,one of the master paintings.Inheriting the portrait tradition since Renascences,Rembrandt creatively designed a cross-timespan dialogue between Aristotle,Homer and the King Alexander through the unique light and shadow.It highlights Aristotle's deep,cold and somewhat lonely state of meditation,and integrates philosophical meditation with aesthetic meditation.Rembrandt portrayed the meditative image of Aristotle,which not only embodies his artistic pursuit of independence and freedom,but also reflects his profound artistic aesthetic thoughts.
