梵高油画《圣经静物》高清图片

作品简介

这幅厚重的圣经属于梵高的父亲——一位新教牧师。在父亲刚离世后，梵高绘制了这幅静物：他将自己那本左拉小说《活着的快乐》与圣经并列，两本书分别象征着父子截然不同的世界观(宗教传统与现代思潮的碰撞)。

在给提奥的信中，梵高如此描述此作："一幅静物：摊开的米白色皮质圣经，衬着黑色背景与黄褐色前景，点缀几笔柠檬黄。"他试图证明黑色也能产生强烈表现力——此前兄弟俩曾就此展开漫长辩论。

This hefty Bible had belonged to Van Gogh's father, a Protestant minister. Van Gogh painted it just after his father's death. He placed his own copy of Émile Zola'sLa joie de vivrenext to it. That book was a kind of 'bible' for modern life. The books symbolize the different worldviews of Van Gogh and his father.

Vincent describedthis work to Theo as 'a still life of an open, hence an off-white Bible, bound in leather, against a black background with a yellow-brown foreground, with an additional note of lemon yellow.' He wanted to show that the colour black could be effective. The brothers had previously discussed this question at length.

Theo thought Vincent's canvases were too dark and gloomy. He encouraged his brother to use lighter, brighter tones, as the Impressionists did.
