本期解读伯恩·琼斯爵士（1833-1898）作品《尼克劳斯·韦内里斯》
关于作品
尼克劳斯·韦内里斯Nicklaus Veneris
油画 | 122×183cm | 前拉斐尔派 | 收藏于Laing Art Gallery
《尼克劳斯·韦内里斯》在拉丁语中是“赞美维纳斯”的意思，该画是根据瓦格纳歌剧《Tanhauser》中的传奇故事绘制而成。The name "Nicklaus Veneris" means "praise Venus or love" in Latin, and it is adapted from the legend in Wagner's opera "Tanhauser".
在这个传奇故事中，年轻的骑士爱上了维纳斯，并和她一起生活在维纳斯的城堡中，可是好景不长，激情过后，骑士的内心充满了悔恨。于是骑士逃离维纳斯，来到罗马，问教皇厄本是否可以赦免他的罪。而教皇却说这是不可能的，除非他的权杖可以开花！于是，绝望的骑士Tanhauser回到维也纳。但是三天后，教皇的权杖上奇迹般地开满了鲜花，但骑士Tanhauser却永远未能得知这个奇迹，于是他的余生都在教皇厄本的诅咒中度过。In this legend, the young knight fell in love with Venus and lived with her in her underground home until he became full of regrets. He escaped from her trap and came to Rome and asked Pope Urban if he could be pardoned of his sins. The pope declared that this was impossible—just as impossible that his pope's staff might bloom. Three days after Tanhauser returned to Vienna, the Pope’s staff were full of flowers, but the knight had not heard of this sacred miracle, so his life was spent in curses.
这幅画中，骑士对维纳斯的肉体之爱和对肉欲的沉迷也反映了维纳斯之美的危险。因为，根据传说，维纳斯是通过在城堡外的森林中沐浴才得以引诱来骑士Tanhauser。画作的背景中展示了传说中的维纳斯城堡(爱之城)。在画作左上区域，窗户中央可以看到骑士Tanhauser正骑着马准备向教皇寻求宽恕，因为快乐的情爱使他忘记了自己的使命。维纳斯的侍从们正在演奏音乐，她身旁放着一朵象征着爱情的玫瑰，挂毯的背景是爱神丘比特坐在爱神维纳斯的战车上。 The love and sensual indulgence also reflect the dangerous beauty of Venus, because according to legend, Venus bathed in the woods to seduce Tanhauser. This outstanding painting shows the legendary Venusberg court ("Love City”). The knight seen in the middle of the window is riding a horse to seek forgiveness because he dedicated himself to a happy life. The queen’s attendants are playing music (also known as the food of love). Beside the queen There is a rose symbolizing love. The background of the tapestry is Cupid, the god of love, sitting on the chariot of the god of love, Venus.
