Description

[Machine Translation] Jan van Eyck's "Portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Arnolfini" is one of the most famous works of art in the world, and has been reproduced in numerous books, posters, and postcards. But what exactly does this work represent? More specifically, what kind of "mystery" awaits us when we enter the most private space of a newlywed couple's bedroom? We look at the details of this painting one by one, and are puzzled by the unexpected discoveries we make. The painter van Eyck achieved his astonishing realism by layering exhaustively detailed depictions. While modestly depicting the "intimate" scene of a married couple's bedroom, the artist condenses a universal "microcosm" into it. The artist's skillful depiction of light makes us feel as if we are invited into the bedroom. And the convex mirror on the wall behind it (an amazing device!) makes us feel as if we are being invited into this bedroom. ) not only expands the space in the painting, but also suggests the presence of two more people in addition to the couple. These two people could be us, the viewers of the painting. In this way, we, the viewers of the painting, become characters in the painting and are transported by mystical forces into this bedroom where time has stopped. Finally, the most important question looms before us. Who are the characters depicted here? Are they really Mr. and Mrs. Arnolfini?

Description in Japanese

ファン・エイク アルノルフィーニ夫妻の肖像 / 原タイトル:VAN EYCK (名画の秘密) / ステファノ・ズッフィ/著 千速敏男/訳

ヤン・ファン・エイクが描いた“アルノルフィーニ夫妻の肖像”は、世界で最も有名な美術作品のひとつであり、画集やポスター、絵はがきなどを通じてこれまでに数多くの複製がつくられてきた。だが、この作品はいったい何をあらわしているのだろうか?よりつきつめて言うならば、新婚夫婦の寝室という最もプライベートな空間に私たちが踏み込むとき、いったい、どのような「神秘」が待ちうけているのだろうか?私たちは、この絵の細部をひとつひとつ眺め、思いがけない発見をしてはとまどう。ファン・エイクという画家は、徹底的な細密描写を重ねることで驚異的な写実主義に到達した。夫婦の寝室という「親密」な場面をつつましく描きながら、画家はそこに普遍的な「小宇宙」を凝縮している。また巧みな光の描写によって、私たちに、あたかもこの寝室に招待されているかのように感じさせる。そして、背後の壁に描かれた凸面鏡(この驚くべき仕掛け!)は、そこに映し出された画中の空間を拡張するだけでなく、夫妻のほかにさらに2人の人物が存在することをも示唆する。その2人は絵を観ている私たちかもしれない―。このようにして私たちは、作品の鑑賞者から画中の登場人物となり、時間の止まったこの寝室へと神秘の力で運び込まれるのである。そして最後に、最も重要な問題が私たちの前に立ちふさがる。ここに描かれた人物は誰なのだろうか?それは、ほんとうにアルノルフィーニ夫妻なのだろうか?
