简介
辛西娅·索尔特兹曼的《掠夺》讲述了保罗·委罗内塞的巨幅画作《迦拿的婚宴》的命运。1797年，在年轻的拿破仑·波拿巴的指挥下，法军将这幅画从威尼斯圣乔治马焦雷修道院的墙壁上取下。这幅1563年文艺复兴时期的画作问世即被誉为杰作，委罗内塞在修道院餐厅的整面端墙上铺陈场景，绘制了约130个人物，以丰富的色彩营造出圣经盛宴在16世纪威尼斯露台上举行的错觉。画作被从画框取下后，卷成筒状穿越地中海运往巴黎；不久后，从威尼斯和罗马征用的艺术品被凯旋式地运抵法国首都。1801年，委罗内塞的画作在卢浮宫展出，这座在法国大革命期间创办的新公共艺术博物馆，就设在法国国王昔日的宫殿中。

索尔特兹曼在讲述拿破仑掠夺意大利艺术及其在卢浮宫创建中所扮演角色的更大故事时，揭示了他性格中的矛盾：对伟大的渴求——传承文明最精华的部分——以及为达目的不择手段的冷酷。1815年拿破仑在滑铁卢战败后，威灵顿公爵和盟军迫使法国归还了许多被掠夺的绘画和雕塑。尽管如此，《迦拿的婚宴》至今仍留在巴黎，悬挂在《蒙娜丽莎》的正对面。

Cynthia Saltzman's Plunder recounts the fate of Paolo Veronese's Wedding Feast at Cana, a vast, sublime canvas that the French, under the command of the young Napoleon Bonaparte, tore from a wall of the monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore, on an island in Venice, in 1797. Painted in 1563 during the Renaissance, the picture was immediately hailed as a masterpiece. Veronese had filled the scene with some 130 figures, lavishing color on the canvas to build the illusion that the viewers' space opened onto a biblical banquet taking place on a terrace in sixteenth-century Venice. Once pulled from the wall, the Venetian canvas crossed the Mediterranean rolled on a cylinder; soon after, artworks commandeered from Venice and Rome were triumphantly brought into Paris. In 1801, the Veronese went on exhibition at the Louvre, the new public art museum founded during the Revolution in the former palace of the French kings .
As Saltzman tells the larger story of Napoleon's looting of Italian art and its role in the creation of the Louvre, she reveals the contradictions of his character: his thirst for greatness - to carry forward the finest aspects of civilization - and his ruthlessness in getting whatever he sought. After Napoleon's 1815 defeat at Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington and the Allies forced the French to return many of the Louvre's plundered paintings and sculptures. Nevertheless, The Wedding Feast at Cana remains in Paris to this day, hanging directly across from the Mona Lisa .
