| 释义 |
Style and subjectThe painting is steeped in the traditions of both classical and neoclassical art, most notably in its grand scale of 136⅝ × 101¼ inches.[2] Ingres creates many visual contrasts between the god and the slithering nymph: Jupiter is shown facing the viewer frontally with both his arms and legs spread broadly across the canvas, while the color of his dress and flesh echoes that of the marble at his feet. In contrast, Thetis is rendered in sensuous curves and portrayed in supplication to the mercy of a cruel god who holds the fate of her son in his hands. Thetis' right hand falls on Jupiter's hip with a suggestion of erotic caress, while the dark green of her dress accents the dread and foreboding of the bare landscape behind. Her clothing is drawn up against her lower hip, and seems about to fall off. The focal point of the work is Thetis' left hand extended vertically upright as she attempts to stroke the beard of the god.[1] {{multiple image| align = left | direction = horizontal | header = | header_align = left/right/center | header_background = | footer = | footer_align = left/right/center | footer_background = | width = | image1 = John flaxman Juipter and Thetis.gif | width1 = 131 | caption1 = Jupiter and Thetis, a 1793 engraving by John Flaxman treats the subject matter in a similar tone. | alt1 = | image2 = Mourning of Akhilleus Louvre E643.jpg | width2 = 200 | caption2 = Thetis and the Nereids mourning Achilles, Corinthian black-figure hydria, 560–550 BC; note the Gorgon shield - Louvre | alt2 = }} Jupiter's pose is closely based on that of the famous chryselephantine sculpture, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia (Zeus being Jupiter's Greek equivalent), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This was made by the Greek sculptor of the Classical period, Phidias, circa 432 BC and destroyed in Antiquity, but its pose is known from coins and small replicas. Here the pose is reversed right to left, and the arm to the viewer's right is higher than in the original, which held out a statue of Nike. Jupiter and Thetis was painted to meet the artist's obligations to the French Academy in Rome,[4] and although its overhand tone correctly reflected the patriarchal bias of Napoleon's regime in its contrast between male power and female subservience,[3] it is generally regarded as a rejection of such values.[4] Ingres highly regarded the painting, and in a manner it marries the great motifs of his career: the voluptuousness of the female character and the authoritative austerity on the male deity.[1]Ingres kept Jupiter and Thetis in his studio until 1834, when it was purchased by the state. In 1848, he made a single pencil copy.[1] The painting was first exhibited at the 1811 Paris Salon,[5] at a time when Ingres' attention to line coupled with his disregard for anatomical reality was yet to find favour among critics. {{clear}}References1. ^1 2 3 Rosenblum, 72 2. ^Kimmelman, Michael.
