試析林布蘭特風景畫之宗教意涵－以《石橋》為例
The Religious Meanings in Rembrandt’s Landscape－A Study of Landscape with a Stone Bridge
摘要
十七世紀尼德蘭畫家林布蘭特是歷史上卓越的藝術家，一生的作品非常多，肖像畫、風俗畫、歷史畫造詣都十分精湛，而其中又以肖像畫的數量最高故研究者眾多，然而，過去中文世界中卻鮮少有學者研究林布蘭特的風景畫；在國外學者的研究中，對林布蘭特之風景畫也存在不同的見解，因此本研究探討林布蘭特首幅獨立之風景畫—《石橋》（Landscape with a Stone Bridge）中的寓意與宗教意涵。本研究先以林布蘭特所處之尼德蘭黃金時代歷史背景為出發點，探討宗教改革之後藝術家身為新教徒以聖經為依歸的創作動機，以及對應到林布蘭特風景畫之四個時期，接著提出荷蘭當時圍海成地所造成的土地景觀改變，以及當時藝術市場需求增加，種種因素使尼德蘭寫實風景畫興盛，最後回顧過去尼德蘭風景畫慣例與圖像學理論分析《石橋》，並提出結論認為本畫可視為林布蘭特蘊含聖經中人與自然之關係的偉大作品。
並列摘要
Rembrandt van Rijn (1606－1669) is one of the most celebrated artists in Dutch art history. He had produced numerous types of paintings, including portraits, genre paintings, history paintings, and landscape paintings. Among the above, landscape paintings were rarely studied in Chinese scholarship. This thesis therefore focuses on Rembrandt’s first independent landscape painting, Landscape with a Stone Bridge, and investigates its allegorical and religious meanings. This thesis first introduces the Dutch historical background (mainly the rise of Protestantism) in relation to the development of Rembrandt’s art. Then, the thesis discusses that the changes in landscape brought by polder technology and the increasing demand in the art market, among many factors, gave rise to Netherlandish landscape paintings as a new genre. Thirdly, the thesis draws on the iconological convention of Dutch landscape imageries of the time and analyzes the allegorical motifs of Landscape with a Stone Bridge. This thesis concludes that the painting can be viewed as Rembrandt's masterful way of conveying his Bible belief by providing pictorial metaphors for the relationship between man and nature.
