Tintoretto's classic painting "Susanna in the Bath" —— Appreciation of the artistic works of human oil painting
artistic appreciation
Susanna in the Bath is an extremely beautiful painting. The theme comes from a legend: once upon a time, there was a woman named Susanna, who was born with beauty and looked like a fairy. Later, she married a wealthy Babylonian businessman. The couple love each other and live a rich life. Susanna is very loyal to her husband.
Once, she was taking a bath in the bathtub in her garden and was seen by two old goat. They coveted her beauty and wanted to rape her, but she resisted desperately and solemnly refused. Later, two womanizers were afraid that Susanna would expose their crimes to her husband, so the wicked complained first and framed Susanna for disloyalty. The lawsuit went all the way to the Egyptian Pharaoh, and Susanna was sentenced to death.
Finally, thanks to the rescue of the prophet, Susanna's grievances were cleared, justice was done, and the two villains were finally sentenced to the stake. Susanna has since become the embodiment of the Virgin in folk stories.
Tintoretto described this beautiful story very vividly. In the picture, Susanna looks peacefully in the mirror beside the bath in the back garden, where there are lush trees and covered with rose vines. One of her legs is still taking a bath and the other is curled up. Naked body looks very delicate and beautiful, * * *' s skin is delicate, smooth and elastic, her hands are wearing agate bracelets, and her curly blonde hair is shining. The whole image is like a hibiscus flower, radiant.
There are pearls, perfume bottles, bras, hairpins and cosmetics in front of her, and a corner of her hairpins and bath towels is reflected in the mirror in front of her.
However, the appearance of two bad old men broke this beautiful harmony. At the bottom left of the picture, a furtive bald head pokes its head out of the trees, and he is peeping at the beautiful Susanna. Along the rows of rose vines, another shameless ghost old man in the distance is also sticking his head out and peeping at the beautiful woman with wide eyes. These ugly and dirty souls, usually disguised as serious lewdness, are exposed there.
The whole painting well grasps the combination of lyricism and * * *, and the beautiful environment and all kinds of beautiful objects set off, which makes people feel lyrical and romantic and hates the * * * filth of voyeurs. Because the picture depicts a private space, Tintoretto focuses the light on Susanna's chest, which sets off the smoothness and smoothness of her skin, which makes her image shine and sets off the characters well. The bald head of the old man in the lower left corner and the distant light line coordinate the brightness of the whole picture well.
From the color point of view, the yellow body is in sharp contrast with the white bath towel and bright red clothes of the elderly nearby, and also echoes the yellow in the distance. Grass, safflower and green leaves are also harmonious and natural.
Tintoretto always insists on creating with humanistic ideological content and realistic creative techniques. His works are rich, full of rebellious spirit and strong expressive force.
In painting skills, he once said: "We should combine the color of Titian with Michelangelo's figure." In fact, he did it very successfully. Rough brushstrokes, bold colors, rich characters and exquisite treatment of light constitute his unique painting style. His paintings had a great influence on later generations, and many painters, such as Rubens, Velas Peng and Delacroix, were deeply influenced by him.
