“壞小子” 的藝術江湖
藝術留學
作者：曹爾寅等
籠罩在文藝複興光環下的16世紀下半葉，藝術江湖群星隕落、青黃不接。整體感覺不啻告別城市中一眾鶯鶯燕燕後爬上一隅土山頭兒，撇見一位羞嗒嗒的俏美村姑（筆者注：此處暗指樣式主義），曖昧可以，一輩子卻顯得太 長。
Comparing with the status in Renaissance， there were just few artists presenting their talents in the second half of the 16th century， which looked like a man who waved bye-bye to his soul mate， and bumped into his ‘Lolita’.（here referred to as Mannerism）
狀況維係至17世紀初，曆經沉寂與探索，意大利美術江湖再現三雄， 它們分別是—意大利學院派藝術、巴洛克藝術以及以卡拉瓦喬為代表的現實主義美術。英雄既出，滿地便是江湖。
It was not until the early 1600s that ‘the Musketeer’ emerged after the years of silence and depression， they were Academic Art， Baroque Art and the Realism Art represented by Caravaggio respectively. Now that here came the heroes， the battle was already on.
之所以擇喬兄為主角展開本期話題，原因有三：在內容浩瀚的教科書《西方美術史》中，專為描寫卡拉瓦喬的內容便有完整的四頁，著實可見其地位；有人曾抱怨筆者文章過於突出女性的情感體驗，為避女性主義之嫌，這次選一位“大英雄”；若論繪畫技法，鮮少有人能出其右，大師之後再無大師。
There are three reasons to choose Caravaggio to start our topic： it is obvious that his status in the field of art is important as there are 4 pages introducing Caravaggion in the book ‘History of Western Arts’； To avoid the so-called feminism， a super hero becomWes the best theme to be inked this time.There is no one who can compare with Caravaggio in the aspects of painting.
神樣的畫技 Proficiency
米開朗基羅·梅裏西·德·卡拉瓦喬是一位活躍於16世紀末、17世紀初的意大利傑出畫家。他風格特立，開啟了卡拉瓦喬畫派的先河，其作品令諸多後世名畫家愛不忍釋。他善於觀察並真實展現人物心理和生理特征，將明暗對比的畫法發揚光大，對巴洛克風格畫派生成有重要的影響。
Michelangelo Merisi （or Amerighi） da Caravaggio was an Italian painter active in Italy during the late 16th century and the early 17th century.He was a genius in his field. Initiating “Caravaggisti” or “Caravagesques”， he inspired numerous of famous artists as well. His paintings， which combined a realistic observation of the human state， both physical and emotional， with a dramatic use of lighting， had a formative influence on Baroque paintings.
