作品介绍

This hitherto unrecorded Madonna of Humility is a characteristic and relatively early work, datable to the 1430s, by the most individual and uncompromising Sienese painter of the mid-fifteenth century.

The theme of the Madonna of Humility, with the Virgin seated on a cushion placed on the ground rather than a throne, was popular in Siena from the mid-trecento, as panels by such artists as Niccolo di Buonaccorso, Francesco di Vannuccio, Andrea di Bartolo and Gregorio di Cecco attest, although it also had a wider currency, as for example the panel by Gentile da Fabriano at Pisa exemplifies. The subject was treated at least nine times by the greatest master of quattrocento Siena, Sassetta, both within the context of full-scale altarpieces and in five panels that must have been intended for private devotion (New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art; Pittsburg, Frick Art and Historical Center; Rome, Pinacoteca Vaticana; Siena, Pinacoteca Nazionale; and Zagreb, Strossmayerova Galerija), all datable to the 1430s and 1440s. Like his contemporary Sano di Pietro, whose panels of the subject include the beautiful example at Montalcino, Giovanni di Paolo was unquestionably aware of Sassetta's closely interrelated compositions. His best-known treatments of the subject, the Madonnas of Humility at Boston and Siena with landscape backgrounds, which like this unpublished picture were clearly supplied for private use, may have depended upon a further, now lost, Madonna of Humility by Sassetta. In this panel, as in that by Sassetta in New York, the Virgin is turned to the right. But Giovanni di Paolo, unlike Sassetta, frames Her head within Her mantle. Giovanni's Child is larger in proportion to His mother than in any of Sassetta's treatments of the theme, is of a more muscular type, and (as is the case in the picture by Sassetta at Siena) turns to look not at the Virgin but outwards to engage the viewer. The wiry dynamism of the Child and the prehensile fingers are wonderfully characteristic of Giovanni di Paolo, as is the rippling rhythm of the hem of the Madonna's mantle.

参考译文

迄今为止未被记录的《谦卑的麦当娜》是15世纪中期最具个性和不妥协的锡耶纳画家的特色和相对早期的作品，可以追溯到1430年代。

《谦卑的麦当娜》的主题，圣母坐在地上而不是宝座上的垫子上，在锡耶纳从中年人中流行，由Niccolo di Buonaccorso，Francesco di Vannuccio，Andrea di等艺术家组成。 Bartolo和Gregorio di Cecco证明，虽然它也有更广泛的货币，例如比萨的詹蒂莱?达?法布里亚诺(gentile da fabriano)的小组就是例证。该受试者至少被最伟大的十五世纪（欧洲文艺复兴的初期）大师治疗了九次锡耶纳，萨塞塔，都是在全尺寸祭坛的背景下和五个必须用于私人投入的小组（纽约，大都会艺术博物馆;匹兹堡，弗里克艺术和历史中心;罗马，Pinacoteca Vaticana;锡耶纳，Pinacoteca Nazionale;以及萨格勒布，Strossmayerova Galerija），所有数据都可以在1430年代和1440年代使用。就像他当代的萨诺·迪·皮特罗（Sano di Pietro，1406-1481），其主题小组包括蒙塔尔奇诺的美丽典范，保罗·迪·乔凡尼·菲毫无疑问地意识到萨塞塔密切相关的作品。他对这个主题的最着名的治疗方法，波士顿和锡耶纳的《谦卑的麦当娜》有风景背景，这些未发表的图片显然是供私人使用的，可能依赖于另一个，现在已经失传的萨塞塔的《谦卑的麦当娜》。在这件作品中，就像在纽约的萨塞塔那样，圣母玛利亚向右转。但是，与萨塞塔的作品不同，保罗·迪·乔凡尼·菲将她的头部置于她的地幔内。乔瓦尼的孩子与他母亲的比例比萨塞塔对主题的任何治疗都要大，是一种更加肌肉发达的类型，并且（如锡耶纳的萨塞塔图片中的情况）转向不看圣母但向外看吸引观众。儿童和可伸缩手指的结实动力是保罗·迪·乔凡尼·菲奇特的特征，麦当娜披风的下摆的涟漪节奏也是如此。

画家简介

保罗·迪·乔凡尼·菲（Paolo di Giovanni Fei，约1345年 - 约1411年），文艺复兴早期意大利锡耶纳学派（ Sienese school）画家。锡耶纳学派的绘画兴盛于13和15世纪之间，与佛罗伦萨艺术不同，锡耶纳学派艺术选择了更加装饰的风格和丰富的色彩，更瘦、更优雅的宫廷人物，它还以共同关注神奇事件为特征，锡耶纳画家在描绘肖像、寓言或古典神话的时候，较少关注具象和比例，人物形态抽象变形，拥有梦幻般的色彩。

史料中提到保罗·迪·乔凡尼·菲最早的签名和注明日期的作品是1381年他出现锡耶纳大教堂的文件中。他的艺术风格受到皮托·洛伦泽蒂（Pietro Lorenzetti，1280-1348）和安布罗·洛伦泽蒂（Ambrogio Lorenzetti，1290 - 1348）兄弟、锡耶纳大师巴托洛·迪·弗雷迪（Bartolo di Fredi，约1330-1410）和西蒙·马蒂尼（Simone Martini，约1284 - 1344）的影响。他的绘画作品以明亮清晰的色调为特色，经常在画板上镀金和打孔，具有丰富的自然主义和装饰主义细节。（阴山工作室根据维基百科编写）
