博物館開門17世紀荷蘭黃金畫派大師林布蘭（Rembrandt） 的自畫像Rembrandt 的自畫像，包括繪畫、版畫和素描，描繪從 1628 年到 1669 年間，去世前40年間的一生，有近百幅，其中約 40 幅油，31幅版畫和圖繪，數量龐大，極為罕見。 他的自畫像如日記般，記錄了從年輕到老的變化。早期年輕時，頭髮蓬鬆，晚期是疲憊不堪衰老的聖人或老人形像。 為何創作多幅自畫像？ 開始創作系自畫像前，會在歷史畫中將自己入境。比如在已知最早的畫作之一《聖斯蒂芬被石頭砸死》（The Stoning of Saint Stephen ,1625 年），或者在蝕刻版畫中。 如何創作自畫像？ Rembrandt 會以實驗方式，研究藝術史、藝術大師的不同肖像的風格。 在古代，只有具特權藝術家，才有資格創作肖像。中世紀，在教會的控制下繪製為人類和上帝服務的角色，文藝復興時期，藝術家才有新的地位，展現自己特性，在作品上簽名及創作個性化主題。 從中世紀末期和義大利文藝復興開始，藝術家會將自己畫入宗教或歷史繪畫中 （in assistenza)，將自己變成歷史場景的旁觀者。例如被譽爲「西方繪畫之父」的Giotto di Bondone，約1267—1337）。 繪畫史上，第一幅以畫家為肖像主題的自畫像，是1436 年荷蘭的Jan van Eyck, （1390—1441）所畫的《戴紅頭巾的男人》（Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban,），早期活躍於Brugge的Flanders，是十五世紀名聲顯赫的北方文藝復興藝術家，也是早期尼德蘭畫派（Early Netherlandish painting)最偉大的畫家之一，以及十五世紀北方後哥德式繪畫的創始人。 自畫像隨後逐漸從嚴格的宗教領域中解放，藝術家們開始表達抱負和個性，同時顯赫或名人（uomini illustri 或 famosi)的肖像開盛行。 著作的影響： 《藝苑名人傳》，全名《契馬布埃至當代最優秀的義大利建築師、畫家、雕刻家的生平》（Le vitede' più eccellenti architetti, pittori, et scultori italiani, da Cimabue insino a' tempi nostri），可謂西方第一本藝術史著作，作者是義大利文藝復興畫家和建築師Giorgio Vasari (1511—1574 ），是藝術史作品的出版先驅。內容從13世紀Florence 最早的畫家Giovanni Cimabue(1240—1302）到16世紀巨匠Michelangelo(1475—1564)，末卷是畫家自己，共講述了260多位義大利文藝復興時期傑出藝術家的生平及其重要作品。 16 世紀起，義大利美術學院編了自畫像集。威嚴的肖像最初是為皇室而畫，藝術家為王公貴族畫肖像可張顯他商貴的職業。 Flander 的人文主義者Dominique Lampson於 1572 年出版專書，（Pictorum aliquot celebrium Germaniae inferioris effigies)，請Johannes 和 Hieronymus Wierix , Cort 及Hieronymus Cock創作了Flanders , 德國, 荷蘭消失的肖像系列的23版畫。 此書於1610 年海牙重新發行後極為成功，使北歐繪畫流派從義大利流派中脫穎而出。Rembrandt 參考這一系列的版畫和其他藝術家的作品，特別是Albrecht Dürer（1471—1528），德國中世紀末期、文藝復興著名油畫家、版畫家、雕塑家及藝術理論家。他在20多歲時高水準的木刻版畫就使他享譽歐洲，可謂是北方文藝復興最傑出的藝術家。作品包括祭壇、宗教、人物畫及自畫像，以及銅版畫。他創新木刻版畫。 Rembrandt 從Dürer 汲取靈感，包括服飾、帽子、手臂的姿勢等，或仿效assistenza形式，將自己畫入歷史作品。他在結束Leiden時期後，開始於1620 年代後期畫獨立自畫像。 早在 1625 年，20 歲在Amsterdam 的Pieter Lastman工作室學習時，就在畫作《聖斯蒂芬的石頭砸死》（The Stoning of Saint Stephen)中入境成旁觀者，和他在同一工作室學習的朋友Jan Lievens(1607 - 1674）也畫入劊子手身旁。 Rembrandt 入歷史畫有助於在藝術市場佔一席之地，作品包括： －1626年的《歷史畫》，在法官身後面容嚴肅。 －1627 年的《大衛將歌利亞的頭顱獻給掃羅王》（1627 年，巴塞爾藝術博物館）。 －音樂會及全家福主題的群體肖。 17世紀時也有其他名畫家好將自己畫入歷史或風俗場景，列如： －法蘭德斯畫家，巴洛克畫派早期的代表畫家Sir Peter Paul Rubens(1577—1640）。 －十七世紀法國Bourbon 王朝Louis XIV國王(1638—1715)的首席宮廷畫家Charles Le Brun(1619—1690），曾為凡爾賽宮和羅浮宮創作被路易十四稱為「有史以來法國最偉大的藝術家」。 Rembrandt 的第一張自畫像： 最早的自畫像，為創作於1628 年的兩張版畫： －《戴著帽子和毛茸連衣的林布蘭》（1625 及1631，阿姆斯特丹國立博物館藏 Rijksmuseum Amsterdam）。 －小自畫像(c. 1627-1628, 阿姆斯特丹國立博物館藏) 1628年至1629年的版畫，主要是研究自己的頭部，不僅要表現特徵，還嘗試強烈的光線對比。 約 1628 年，創作了第一幅現今典藏在阿姆斯特丹國立博物館藏 的油畫自畫像，當時22 歲，特別練習及研究光及明暗對比，之後成為他特有的詩歌語言。 －1629 年，小幅的《年輕時的自畫像》，典藏在德國慕尼黑 老繪畫陳列館 （ Alte Pinakothek) 的自畫像更具情感，除了重視光，也表現瞬間效果，此風格之後常出現在歷史場景和肖像畫。1630年開始描述不同面部表情，探索和靈魂的運動。 他的前輩和同時代的畫家畫自畫像時，通常表現自己最好的一面，然而，他從第一幅自畫像，就畫出因情感而變形或難辨認的面容。 Rembrandt 作品中的形式主義： 當時在Amsterdam ，肖像畫和自畫像是受追捧的新流派。 經過前階段的實驗和研究，從 1631 年起，創作了更多正式的繪畫和版畫自畫像，進而更重視裝飾和質材，並持續關注陰影和光線效果。 此期重視服裝，會戴上各種帽子和配飾，穿舊時代服裝，打扮成如使徒、士兵、窮人、富人、資產階級等的各種角色。此外，重視外套、頭飾、鈕扣、下擺、花卉圖案的細節，此細緻的表現，除了引人注目，亦可代表身份。例如《穿大衣的自畫像》（Autoportrait au manteau )和《戴帽子的單手放在臀部的自畫像》（Autoportrait avec chapeau et une main sur la hanche ) 。 古典時代的服飾風格： 1632 年之後，服裝改成上個世紀和東方風情服飾風格。以精湛技藝美化服裝、配飾，項鍊等，並關注不同布料或材料在光線中的差異。 1632 年，是最豐收的一年，自畫像中穿著華麗，象徵他的富裕。戴寬邊帽是當時流行的橢圓式。 他所戴的16 世紀的貝雷帽（béret），曾是羅馬士兵的帽，戴此帽是爲了將自己定位為歷史畫家。他的學生亦模仿，此帽因此成為他的象徵標誌。 1640年前後功成名就，王公貴族和業餘愛好者皆高價收藏他的作品。 例如：典藏在創立於1824年的倫敦國家藝廊（National Gallery )的 2023-09-1518 minThe Fine City Music PodcastThe Fine City Music Podcast | Episode 09: GlitchersThe garage punk duo take a break on the Norwich leg of their extensive Summer of Punk tour playing flash gigs in town centres around the UK to talk about their journey from playing the Eaton Skate Park, via Downing Street to after parties for the likes of My Chemical Romance, with a an unequivocal message, best summed up by their tune Fuck The Tories. 2023-08-281h 02The Fine City Music PodcastThe Fine City Music Podcast | Episode 08: Sean O'Neill (Ideal Surreal)Sean O'Neill, best known for promoting gigs under the name Ideal Surreal and co-author of recent book I'm Not From Here But It Feels Like Home: 20 Years Of LoFi In Norwich talks the glory years of Norwichcore, Mummy Where's The Milkman Records, and John Peel and Steve Lamacq appreciation of the scene, up to today's shifting sands of Norwich music venues, and why Great Yarmouth is the up and coming place for new music. 2023-08-101h 19The Fine City Music PodcastThe Fine City Music Podcast | Episode 07: Venus VinylBenjamin of Venus Vinyl on Magdalen Street chats record and craft ale retailing in NR3, the Norwich music scene, the ups and downs of living the "High Fidelity" dream, why Record Store Day is both a blessing and a curse and the joy of selling an Ed Sheeran record to an Ed Sheeran lookalike, among many other things.
