Portrait of Napoléon from David’s “Coronation of the Emperor and the Empress” 戴冠式の皇帝ナポレオンたいかんしきのこうていなぽれおん
Description
本作はダヴィッドの大作《皇帝ナポレオン1世と皇后ジョゼフィーヌの戴冠式》の中に描かれる、今まさにジョゼフィーヌに王冠を授けようとする皇帝を部分的に抽出したもので、彼の工房で描かれたと考えられる。古代風の金の月桂冠を被り、白テンの毛皮と金の刺繍で装飾を施された赤と白の絢爛たる皇帝の盛装が、暗転させた背景と緑の絨毯に映える。人物を真横から捉え、左方向へと流れる動勢を計算され尽くした技法で描かれたこの図像は、劇的な舞台装置の中で威厳にあふれたハイライトを形づくっている。
