索福尼斯巴-安圭索拉,布面油画,1555年,波兹南国立博物馆藏,72x97cm

Sofonisba Anguissola was an Italian Renaissance painter born in Cremona to a noble family, albeit a relatively poor one. She received a well-rounded education that included the fine arts, and her apprenticeship with local painters set a precedent for women to be accepted as students of art. As a young woman, Anguissola traveled to Rome, where she was introduced to Michelangelo, who immediately recognized her talent, and to Milan, where she painted the Duke of Alba. Her most distinctive and attractive paintings are her portraits of herself and her family, painted before she moved to the Spanish court. In particular, her depictions of children were fresh and closely observed.

索福尼斯巴-安圭索拉是意大利文艺复兴时期的画家,出生于克雷莫纳的一个贵族家庭,尽管这个家庭相对贫穷,她接受了包括美术在内的全面教育,她在当地画家那里做学徒,开创了女性接受艺术教育的先例。安圭索拉年轻时去了罗马,她被介绍给米开朗基罗,米开朗基罗立即发现了她的绘画天赋,她还前往米兰,创作了《阿尔巴公爵》。她最具特色和吸引力的画作是她在搬到西班牙宫廷之前画的自画像和她家人的肖像画。尤其对孩子的描绘很新颖,观察很细腻。

Today we present one of Anguissola’s most famous paintings, in which young women are depicted as intellectuals. The game of chess takes place in an idealized landscape that more resembles late medieval images of the game, rather than the more contemporary tavern gaming settings. On the far left, Lucia looks out at the viewer, dominating our gaze as her arm and obvious expertise dominate the chess board. She has removed two of Minerva's pieces from the game. Her opponent opens her mouth and raises her hand as if to speak. Their youngest sister, Europa, smiles gleefully at the match, carefully observed by an old maidservant on the far right. The three Anguissola women are members of a natural nobility capable of entertaining themselves, their status emphasized by the rich surface detail on their brocaded clothes and the fine Turkish carpet set over their table.

今天展示是安圭索拉最著名的画作之一,画中的年轻女性被描绘成知识分子。象棋游戏发生在一个理想化的场景中,更像是中世纪晚期的游戏画面,而不是更现代的酒馆游戏环境。在最左边,露西娅看着观众,她的手臂主导着棋盘,占据了我们的视线,显然是个下棋高手。她已经把密涅瓦的两个棋子从棋盘中拿走。密涅瓦张开嘴,举起手,似乎要说话。她们最小的妹妹欧罗巴高兴地笑着,最右边的一个老女仆认真地看着她。这三位安圭索拉的姐妹是能够自娱自乐的贵族,她们的地位通过锦缎衣服上丰富的细节和餐桌上精美的土耳其桌毯得到了体现。
