　　bbc：the private life of a masterpiece-the rokeby venus(迭戈.委拉斯开兹-镜前的维纳斯)

　　作品简介：

　　rokeby venus

　　the rokeby venus (also known as the toilet of venus, venus at her mirror,venus and cupid, or la venus del espejo) is a painting by diego velázquez(1599╟1660), the leading artist of the spanish golden age. completed between 1647 and 1651, and probably painted during the artist's visit to italy, the work depicts the goddess venus in a sensual pose, lying on a bed and looking into a mirror held by the roman god of physical love, her son cupid. the painting is in the national gallery, london.

　　numerous works, from the ancient to the baroque, have been cited as sources of inspiration for velázquez. the nude venuses of the italian painters, such asgiorgione's sleeping venus (c. 1510) and titian's venus of urbino (1538), were the main precedents. in this work, velázquez combined two established poses for venus: recumbent on a couch or a bed, and gazing at a mirror. she is often described as looking at herself on the mirror, although this is physically impossible since viewers can see her face reflected in their direction. this phenomenon is known as the venus effect. in a number of ways the painting represents a pictorial departure, through its central use of a mirror, and because it shows the body of venus turned away from the observer of the painting.

　　the rokeby venus is the only surviving female nude by velázquez. nudes were extremely rare in seventeenth-century spanish art, which was policed actively by members of the spanish inquisition. despite this, nudes by foreign artists were keenly collected by the court circle, and this painting was hung in the houses of spanish courtiers until 1813, when it was brought to england to hang in rokeby park, yorkshire. in 1906, the painting was purchased by national art collections fund for the national gallery, london. although it was attacked and badly damaged in 1914 by the suffragette mary richardson, it soon was fully restored and returned to display.

　　diego velázquez

　　diego rodríguez de silva y velázquez (spanish pronunciation: [ˈdjeɣo roˈðriɣeθ de ˈsilba i βeˈlaθkeθ]; baptised june 6, 1599 ╟ august 6, 1660) was a spanish painter who was the leading artist in the court of king philip iv. he was an individualistic artist of the contemporary baroque period, important as a portrait artist. in addition to numerous renditions of scenes of historical and cultural significance, he painted scores of portraits of the spanish royal family, other notable european figures, and commoners, culminating in the production of his masterpiece las meninas (1656).

　　from the first quarter of the nineteenth century, velázquez's artwork was a model for the realist andimpressionist painters, in particular édouard manet. since that time, more modern artists, including spain'spablo picasso and salvador dalí, as well as the anglo-irish painter francis bacon, have paid tribute to velázquez by recreating several of his most famous works.
