Giorgio: Renaissance Impressionist
文艺复兴后期，作为艺术中心的佛罗伦萨逐渐衰败，大批艺术家被威尼斯的自由与肆意所吸引而纷纷转移，这批画家吸收了文艺复兴鼎盛时期的精华，并在色彩和构图上创新，逐渐发展并壮大了以用色大胆、内容具有想象力为特点的威尼斯画派。
威尼斯画派的代表人物乔尔乔内(Giorgio o Zorzi da Castelfranco)(1477–1510)，出生于威尼斯附近的小镇，而后前往威尼斯，师从乔瓦尼·贝利尼(Giovanni Bellini)。老师贝利尼受姐夫曼特尼亚的影响，作品富有艺术感性和想象力，且具有神韵的气质，这为乔尔乔尼带来了很大的影响。乔尔乔尼的绘画造型优美，是最早使用明暗造型法以及晕涂法的画家，因而画作具有绚丽的色彩和柔和的明暗关系，此外他还开创了风景人物绘画的新格局，而不仅仅把风景作为人物的陪衬。乔尔乔尼32岁因感染鼠疫而离世，但他留下的少量作品足以使他成为威尼斯画派的代表人物，并成为与达芬奇等人齐名的伟大画家。
Giorgio o Zorzi da Castelfranco (1477–1510), an icon of the Venetian school, was born in a small town near Venice, and then went to Venice to study under Giovanni Bellini. Teacher Bellini was influenced by her brother-in-law Mantegna, the work is full of artistic sensibility and imagination. It has the charm of charm, which has brought significant influence to Giorgio. Giorgio’s paintings are beautiful, and he was the first painter to use light and dark modeling and halo coating. Therefore, his paintings have gorgeous colors and soft light and deep relationships. Also, he created a new pattern of landscape figure painting, not just The scenery serves as a foil to the characters. Giorgio died at the age of 32 due to the plague, but the few works he left were enough to make him a representative of the Venetian school and a great painter with the same name as Leonardo da Vinci and others.
这幅画作描绘的是“山雨欲来、溪水林木浸润着奇妙的光与色的景象”。画面前景描绘了两个人物：右岸上一位妇女正在为孩子喂奶，左岸上一位身着红衣，手持长棍的男子正向右岸张望。顺着中间的溪流向后望去，可见画面左边一片房屋废墟，右边则是一座现代村镇，远方天空浓云密布，闪电划破云层。这幅作品没有太多的故事性，前景中的两个人物也非画面的主角。乔尔乔尼致力于展现的是风雨欲来的气氛以及人与自然的“天人合一”，因而这幅作品也被称为西方绘画中的第一幅风景画杰作。
This painting depicts “the scene of the rain and the trees and the trees and trees infiltrated with wonderful light and color”. The foreground of the picture depicts two characters: a woman on the right bank is feeding her child, and a man in a red dress on the left bank, holding a stick, is looking to the right bank. Looking backward along the middle stream, we can see a house ruin on the left of the screen, and a modern village on the right. The sky is thickly covered with clouds in the distance, and lightning struck the clouds. This work does not have much storytelling, and the two characters in the foreground are not the main characters in the picture. Giorgio is committed to showing the dark atmosphere and the “unity of man and nature” between man and nature, so this work is also known as the first masterpiece of landscape painting in Western painting.
这幅作品也展现了乔尔乔尼高超的绘画技艺。他使用的色彩非常有限，绿色和赭红色为主调，辅以亮白色块，但却展现了深浅、明暗的无穷变化。他使用闪烁的笔触和细腻的“渐隐法”，把夏日的炎热空气和光线的折射表现的淋漓尽致。
This work also shows Giorgio’s superb painting skills. The colors he used are minimal, with green and ochre as the leading tone, supplemented by bright white blocks, but it shows tremendous changes in shades and shades. He used flashing brushstrokes and a delicate “fading method” to express the hot air and light refraction in summer.
大部分学者认为这幅作品取材于宗教主题中的“三博士来朝”，但画面缺少故事性，没有表现任何与朝拜有关的情节，只可看出老年人和中年人正在交谈，旁边的青年人坐着似在沉思。因而学者们对画中的人物又有多种诠释：朝拜基督圣婴的三博士、三种哲学学派、生命的三个阶段等等。但这幅作品最引人注目的地方在于画家对于景色的描绘。左半部分似是阴暗山崖的一角，远方可见夕阳余晖下的村舍。画家通过对色彩的调和对笔触的调整，巧妙捕捉到了光与影的精髓，制造出了令人耳目一新的渲染层次。
Most scholars believe that this work is based on the “Three Doctors Come to Chaos” in the religious theme, but the picture lacks storytelling and does not show any plots related to worship. The young people sat thinking. As a result, scholars have multiple interpretations of the characters in the painting: three doctors who worship Christ the Infant, three philosophical schools, three stages of life, etc. But the most striking aspect of this work is the painter’s depiction of the scenery. The left half seems to be a corner of a dark mountain cliff, and in the distance, you can see the cottage under the sunset. Through the adjustment of colors and the adjustment of brush strokes, the artist cleverly captures the essence of light and shadow, creating a refreshing level of rendering.
乔尔乔尼跳过了绘画前的准备工作，直接上色，奠定了“颜色大于线条”的威尼斯画派风格，并对后世印象派带来了影响。
Giorgio skipped the preparations before painting and directly painted the color, which laid the Venetian style of “color is greater than the line” and had an impact on the later Impressionism.
