雷诺阿作品《男子肖像（夏庞蒂埃先生）》高清图片

作品简介

雷诺阿善于以优雅的笔触呈现人物特质，这使他的肖像画在巴黎资产阶级社会备受追捧。这幅小型肖像画中的主人公很可能是乔治·夏庞蒂埃(Georges Charpentier)——自然主义小说家左拉的出版商，同时也是《现代生活》(La vie moderne)杂志的创始人，雷诺阿曾为该杂志担任插画师。夏庞蒂埃与妻子玛格丽特是印象派艺术的重要早期收藏家，通过他们的引荐，雷诺阿获得了更多肖像画委托。

Renoir's skill at rendering his subjects in a flattering light meant that his portraits were in high demand among Parisian bourgeois society. This small portrait likely depicts Georges Charpentier, the publisher of naturalist novelist Émile Zola and founder of the publicationLa vie moderne, for which Renoir was an illustrator. Charpentier and his wife, Marguerite, were important early collectors of impressionism, and Renoir secured other portrait commissions through their patronage.
