德加油画人物《保罗·拉丰与阿尔方斯·谢尔菲尔斯鉴赏画作》高清图片

作品简介

画中的这些绅士与许多巴黎艺术家保持着密切的关系，他们会直接前往艺术家的画室，购买自己想要展出或出售的作品。

这幅画的左上角有德加题写的“致他亲爱的朋友们”的献词。这幅双人肖像画描绘了保罗·拉丰（Paul Lafond，左），他日后成为了法国西南部波城艺术博物馆的馆长，以及阿尔方斯·谢尔菲尔斯（Alphonse Cherfils，右），他是一位艺术收藏家，也是印象派的捍卫者。在这些友人的影响下，德加的作品得以入选艺术之友协会（Société des Amis des Arts，即艺术之友协会）的年度展览，而且他的画作《棉花收购所》（A Cotton Office，1873 年）更是成为了第一幅被博物馆收购的德加作品。由于这两位男士所持的画作很可能出自德加之手，因此这幅亲密的肖像画既纪念了他们的私人情谊，也象征了他们之间的业务往来。
 

The gentlemen in this painting had close relationships with many Parisian artists and would go directly to their studios to purchase works that they wanted to exhibit or sell.
The upper left corner of this painting bears a dedication by Degas "to his dear friends." The double portrait depicts Paul Lafond (left), future curator of the art museum at Pau, in southwestern France, and Alphonse Cherfils (right), an art collector and defender of the Impressionists. Through the influence of these friends, Degas's works were selected for the annual exhibitions of the Société des Amis des Arts (Society of Friends of the Arts), and his painting, A Cotton Office (1873), was the first by the artist to be purchased by a museum. Since the painting held by the two men is probably by Degas, this intimate image commemorates both personal and business relationships.
