Lindos, Rhodes《罗德岛林多斯》

爱艺/译

In 1867， Frederic Leighton made a trip to Asia Minor. On his return journey through Greece he visited the island of Rhodes. Here he made an oil paint sketch of Lindos， a coastal town known for its ancient clifftop acropolis. The view that he painted is looking down from the clifftop， away towards a rocky promontory.

1867年，弗雷德里克·萊顿到小亚细亚旅行。返途经过希腊时，他造访了罗德岛。在岛上，他画了一幅沿海小镇林多斯的油画素描，该镇以其古老的崖顶卫城而闻名。画中风景由崖顶俯视而得，正面朝向一处多岩石的海岬。

The colour scheme is similar to   Capri Sunrise1， with yellow-ochre， peach， mauve and blue combining to make an engaging and attractive setting.

此画配色与《卡普里日出》相似，土黄、桃红、淡紫和天蓝组合成迷人的背景，令人陶醉。

Most interestingly is the manner in which space is described in this painting. The nearness of the buildings in the lower section provides a strong visual structure， since the lines of perspective are strongly emphasized through their pos-itioning. The vanishing point is clearly somewhere in the middle of the painting; in this way， the strip of land reaching into the sea cuts across this perspective so that the land seems to move in oppos-ition to the dynamic of the perspective. It is fascinating push-pull effect that gives added life to the painting.

最有意思的是画中对空间的呈现方式。画面下方近处的建筑群展现了牢固的视觉结构，这是因为精心布局的透视线显得特别突出。消失点显然在画面中间的某处；这样一来，延伸入海的狭长陆地在这个透视中央横切一道，由此，那片陆地看似与透视的运动轨迹相逆而行。这样的推拉效果令人着迷，为此画增添了更多生气。
