对都铎艺术中现实主义问题的一种开创性探讨.

 

在都铎王朝和詹姆士一世时期的英格兰，视觉艺术常被称为“生动”。这个词被用来描述从肖像画到葬礼纪念碑，从书籍插图到挂毯等全方位的视觉和物质文化。对于现代观众来说，这种说法似乎令人困惑：在一个似乎对错觉式自然主义缺乏欣赏的文化中，“生动性”究竟意味着什么？而且，在一个据说以偶像崇拜恐惧为特征的时代，“生动性”又怎么可能是一件好事呢？

 

在这本涉猎广泛且富有创新性的著作中，克里斯蒂娜·法拉第挖掘出了一种独特的都铎式生动模型：这种模型基于为观众创造强烈心理意象的修辞技巧。通过与现代占主导地位的交流框架进行类比，《都铎的生动性》一书为失落的都铎艺术批评和欣赏模式提供了新的见解，揭示了跨越各种类型和语境的物体是如何参与相同的知识和美学对话的。通过复兴一种失落的艺术理论模型，法拉第重新赋予了都铎王朝和詹姆士一世时期英格兰生动视觉和物质文化以活力，恢复了其原本触动人心、给人留下深刻印象和令人愉悦的力量。

 

A groundbreaking approach to the problem of realism in Tudor art

 

In Tudor and Jacobean England, visual art was often termed “lively.” This word was used to describe the full range of visual and material culture—from portraits to funeral monuments, book illustrations to tapestry. To a modern viewer, this claim seems perplexing: what could “liveliness” have meant in a culture with seemingly little appreciation for illusionistic naturalism? And in a period supposedly characterised by fear of idolatry, how could “liveliness” have been a good thing?

 

In this wide-ranging and innovative book, Christina Faraday excavates a uniquely Tudor model of vividness: one grounded in rhetorical techniques for creating powerful mental images for audiences. By drawing parallels with the dominant communicative framework of the day, Tudor Liveliness sheds new light on a lost mode of Tudor art criticism and appreciation, revealing how objects across a vast range of genres and contexts were taking part in the same intellectual and aesthetic conversations. By resurrecting a lost model for art theory, Faraday re-enlivens the vivid visual and material culture of Tudor and Jacobean England, recovering its original power to move, impress and delight.
