梵高作品《缝衣妇女习作》高清图片

作品简介

梵高在筹备其传世名作《吃土豆的人》期间绘制了这位缝衣女子。当时他正苦苦思索该以日光还是灯光来表现场景，为此不断尝试各种室内光线效果。

这幅作品中，他挑战了逆光人像的创作。"这很难表现"，他在给弟弟提奥的信中坦言，"是个棘手的视觉效果"。通过近乎全黑的女子头部与大量留白的窗户形成强烈对比，梵高成功营造出戏剧性的光影冲突——他巧妙地将窗光聚焦于女子双手(缝纫动作因此成为视觉焦点)，这种光影处理预示了后来《夜间咖啡馆》中对人工光源的探索。

Van Gogh painted this woman when he was preparing to paint his now world-famous pictureThe Potato Eaters. Would he paint the scene by daylight or lamplight? He couldn’t decide, so he was experimenting with all sorts of interior light effects.

In this picture, he was attempting to paint a figure against the light. It was hard to do, he wrote to his brother Theo, ‘it’s a difficult effect’. With the almost black head of the woman and using a lot of white in the window, he succeeded in achieving a strong contrast. He concentrated the light from the window mainly on the woman’s hands.
