赛克勒美术馆推出的一个新展览“世界中的世界:印度和伊朗的宫廷绘画”展示了波斯绘画艺术对莫卧儿王朝的影响。
颜色或明艳或柔和;图像精美细致。华丽的波斯和莫卧儿王朝的手绘品是用黄金与准宝石研磨的水彩色绘制的。画稿里充满各种符号、书法和栩栩如生的各种人物。
这类多层次绘画为华盛顿史密森尼学会的阿瑟·赛克勒美术馆(Arthur M. Sackler Gallery)推出的一个新展览的命名带来了灵感:“世界中的世界:印度和伊朗的宫廷绘画”(Worlds Within Worlds: Imperial Painting from India and Iran)。
莫卧儿王朝历代帝王阿克巴(Akbar)、贾汉吉尔(Jahangir)和沙·贾汗(Jahan)的宫廷画师继承了已经十分复杂的波斯绘画传统和工艺,把这门艺术提升到新的水平。莫卧儿王朝的各种创新包括从欧洲艺术中学到的肖像画和深度视角。这种兼收并蓄的演变来自于对通过陆路和海路商道流入的外国艺术的开放态度。

Layers of Imagery in Persian and Mughal Art Fascinate

A new exhibition at the Smithsonian's Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of Asian Art showcases the influence of Persian art on Mughal painting in medieval India. It traces the revolutionary direction taken by Mughal artists while they remained faithful to essential Persian conventions.
The colors may be bright or muted; the imagery is intricate. The lavish Persian and Mughal manuscripts are painted with gold and watercolors compounded from semiprecious stones. Symbols, calligraphy and detailed figures populate the folios.
Such layers of imagery inspired the name for a new exhibition at the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington, Worlds Within Worlds: Imperial Painting from India and Iran.
Court artists of Mughal emperors Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan took conventions and techniques from already-sophisticated Persian painting and elevated the art to new heights. Mughal innovations included portraiture and a depth of perspective learned from European art. Its eclectic evolution came from openness to foreign art that flowed in via land and sea trade routes.
