Velázquez, Los Borrachos (The Drunks), 1628-1629
(jazzy music) Male: We're in the Prado in Madrid and we're looking at a great early Velazquez, The Triumph of Bacchus.발음듣기
He's got this bowl of wine that he's about to bring to his lips, which, I don't' know about for you, but to me, I feel as if I can just feel the coolness of that liquid.발음듣기
So it's not just the vividness of the contrast of light and shadow across his face, but it's the way in which he smiles directly at us so that we are there.발음듣기
Female: I mean, he looks sort of like he's lived a hard life, and the figures around him, too; a kind of leathery skin and clothing that looks very poor.발음듣기
I've sort of become a rowdy reveler in a half-drunken state, sort of partying it up and not feeling life's pain anymore.발음듣기
It's interesting that we're drawn in not only because of the scale of the figures and the sense of proximity, but we're drawn in by a kind of almost moral equivalency.발음듣기
They're all very much close to the foreground in a kind of very Baroque way, and occupy all kind of the same plane across that foreground, taking up much of the space of the painting.발음듣기
You have the, as you described, the very beautiful body, and young and sort of perfect body, of Bacchus.발음듣기
Those two mythological figures, and perhaps the third crouching down in the foreground in the shadow, are so contrasted against the figures of our reality who are on the right.발음듣기
One of the things that I think makes this painting feel so vivid and so engaging is the variation in sort of degrees of focus that Velasquez brings to the canvas.발음듣기
The figure in the foreground in the lower left that we mentioned in shadow feels almost incomplete.발음듣기
You mentioned it before, between the directness of the man with a hat and the way in which Bacchus himself looks off to the side, so that our eye has to go to the man that we don't want to go to, in a sense.발음듣기
Female: There's a kind of realism that Velasquez is bringing to a mythological subject and intentionally not representing it in a kind of Classical manner.발음듣기
If you look at the jugs down at the bottom, in the center, there is a kind of vividness there.발음듣기
We feel as if we can literally reach in and grab one of those an it will be poured full of wine for us.발음듣기
There are these sort of points of entrance and these points of physical reality that give us access to the mythological in a way that I don't think we're used to.발음듣기
Female: It's very much like the way that Caravaggio would paint religious subjects in Italy, with that kind of immediacy and realism and physicality and the down-to-earthiness of the figures and the way that everything is happening very close to us.발음듣기
