埃德加·德加素描作品《吹喇叭的天使》高清图片

作品简介

相关研究表明，画中的模特实际上是一名男性;德加几乎是在创作后期才添加上乳房这一细节。

这幅素描中的人物形象与埃德加·德加在1856年至1858年间为创作一幅宏大但最终未能实现的历史画所绘制的多幅吹号天使素描中的形象极为相似。那幅历史画原本计划以“伴随天使的圣约翰使徒”为主题。德加并非直接引用《启示录》中的某一段落，而是从描述七位吹号天使的段落中提炼出这一形象，这些天使的号角声会引发地上的灾难;同时，他还借鉴了描述基督以“如号角般”响亮的声音向约翰说话，以及引导和教导使徒的单个天使的段落。

Related studies suggest that the subject is a male model; Degas added breasts almost as an afterthought.

The figure in this drawing closely resembles a number of trumpeting angels in drawings that Edgar Degas made between 1856 and 1858 in preparation for an ambitious but ultimately unrealized history painting on the subject of Saint John the Evangelist accompanied by an angel. Rather than referring to any single passage in the Book of Revelation, Degas distilled an image from passages describing seven trumpeting angels who unleash destruction on earth with their blasts, the voice of Christ that addresses John in loud tones "like a trumpet," and individual angels who lead and instruct the Evangelist.
