Van de Weyden: Dutch Contrast
罗吉尔·凡·德·韦登(Rogier van der Weyden)是一位早期佛兰德杰出画家，他的名声曾一度超越了范·艾克(Van Eyck)，但因后来时代审美的变化，他的作品被人遗忘，直到200年后才被人想起。
Rogier van der Weyden is an early Flemish outstanding painter. His influence once surpassed Van Eyck (Van Eyck), but because of the following changes in aesthetics, his works were forgotten and did not reappear until 200 years later.
凡·德·韦登的画作大多是宗教题材，人物形象理想化、色彩多元且温暖，因而作品具有很强的表现力，具有温暖人心的力量。
Most of Van de Weyden’s paintings are religious subjects. The characters are idealized, colorful, and warm, so the work has durable expressive power and a warm heart.
这幅《耶稣下十字架》是凡·德·韦登的早期作品，但因画面中强烈的情感描绘和精妙的布局，这幅作品成为荷兰文艺复兴最有影响力的作品。
This “Jesus Cross” is an early work of Van de Weyden, but because of the intense emotional depiction and delicate layout in the picture, this work became the most influential work of the Dutch Renaissance.
画面描绘的是耶稣被钉死于十字架后，圣母及门徒将他从十字架上放下的情景。凡·德·韦登在画面中展现了不同程度和不同类型的哀伤 — — 画面中身着深蓝色长衣的圣母玛利亚因伤心欲绝昏死在地上，身着醒目红色长袍的圣约翰庄严且冷静，强忍悲痛，画面最右侧穿着红、黄、紫色长衣的抹大拉的玛利亚内心悲痛，泣不成声，其他门徒或沉默、或泪流。凡·德·韦登准确得把握了每个人物得情绪，通过恰当的渲染，将浓烈的哀伤注入画面中。
The painting depicts the scene where Jesus was crucified, and the Virgin and his disciples laid him off the cross. Van de Weiden showed different levels and types of sorrow in the picture. Virgin Mary, in the dark blue dress in the painting, was stunned and died on the ground. The solemn St. John in the red robe And calm, tolerate grief, Mary Magdalene in the red, yellow, and purple dresses on the far right of the screen is in despair, crying, and other disciples are silent or crying. Van de Weyden accurately grasped the emotions of each character, and through the appropriate rendering, injected sharp sorrow into the picture.
此外画家巧妙地使用了平衡的技巧：圣母玛利亚倒下的姿态与肉体死亡的耶稣的姿态相呼应，宛如画面中的对角线，抹大拉的玛利亚和圣约翰的姿势则像括号一般对称呼应。画面中人物衣着的颜色和质地也有所讲究，诸如黑貂、丝绸、金线刺绣、亚麻、皮革和绳索等材料的使用，让整个画面对称且有流动感。
Van de Weyden skillfully used the balancing technique. In essence, the fallen posture of the Virgin Mary echoes the stance of the physical death of Jesus, just like the diagonal line in the picture, and the positions of Mary Magdalene and St. John The brackets generally echo symmetrically. The color and texture of the characters in the painting are also particular. The use of materials such as sable, silk, gold thread embroidery, linen, leather, and rope makes the whole picture symmetrical and fluid.
