[music playing] We're in the Prado in Madrid, and we're looking at the great canvas by Velázquez, "Las Meninas."발음듣기
대기중
In fact, some art historians have suggested that the painting that Velázquez - because notice there is a self-portrait of Velázquez in the act of painting - is in fact painting the painting that we're looking at.발음듣기
대기중
So what we're seeing here is, in the center, the princess attended by the maidens of honor, a dwarf, her governess, and some other attendants.발음듣기
대기중
We know it's a mirror because unlike the canvases on the back wall, this is a much more reflective surface.발음듣기
대기중
We can see the beveled edge of the glass, and of course in that frame, we see a reflection of the King and Queen of Spain, Philip IV and his wife.발음듣기
대기중
And some art historians have suggested that we must be them looking into the mirror and seeing our own reflection.발음듣기
대기중
Others have suggested that in fact, the mirror is reflecting the image that is being depicted on the canvas by Velázquez, and then even other art historians have suggested, yes, the mirror is reflecting what's on the canvas, but the king and queen are still standing before us.발음듣기
대기중
Which is why the princess is looking out at us, and even the dog is, in a sense, taking notice.발음듣기
대기중
And why there is just sort of general attention being very much focused on where we are in front of the painting.발음듣기
대기중
Perhaps we're in the space of the king and queen, and this painting was meant for the study of the king, who would have been the person looking at it.발음듣기
대기중
That issue of looking, of gaze, is I think for me really one of the central keys to this painting.발음듣기
대기중
It seems to me to be a conversation of glances, a conversation of people reacting to each other's glances, of looking itself, a kind of essay on the way in which we see.발음듣기
대기중
This is the king and queen of Spain, one of the most powerful countries on the face of the Earth at this moment.발음듣기
대기중
And we can see it when we see the artist, Velázquez, who is first painter to the king looking out to the royal couple.발음듣기
대기중
He would have had, of course, the best job that an artist could have in Spain at this moment.발음듣기
대기중
I'm interested, though, in the sort of sense of naturalism, the sense of spontaneity, the sense of informality, which is so unexpected in a royal portrait.발음듣기
대기중
That's the amazing thing about this painting, I think, that makes it so hard to say what it is and makes it so compelling is that it's not a "portrait."발음듣기
대기중
And they're very formal portraits of the royal family kind of posing and looking powerful, and that's not what this is.발음듣기
대기중
So there is a kind of informality, like a genre painting, like we're looking at something like a day in the life of the painter's studio, but that's not what it is, either, because it is also a portrait.발음듣기
대기중
It's a portrait that gives you a kind of access to, in a sense, the real moment, the real life within this palace.발음듣기
대기중
In fact, some art historians have suggested that the painting is in part a way for the artist to promote himself and to show his importance and in a sense his value to the court.발음듣기
대기중
If Velázquez is in a sense trying to support this notion of the artist as intellectual, and not the craftsman, not the man who works with his hands, the painting is a bravura example of painting.발음듣기
대기중
We can never get away from the fact that this is fantastic painting; because although there is a tremendous sense of naturalism amongst these figures, the painting is also nothing but a series of strokes of paint.발음듣기
대기중
And I think that's most vividly witnessed in the sleeves of La Infanta, of her attendants, or especially that lightning bolt of stroke of white that goes down the artist's own sleeve and actually leads our eye to the palette.발음듣기
대기중
The palette is a representation in space of the raw paint which is, of course, the very stuff that the artist is using to create the depiction of the thing that it is.발음듣기
대기중
I can make very loose strokes of the brush feel clarified and come together and feel like cloth in motion, right?발음듣기
대기중
Or I can actually dissolve forms that you expect and allow the thing to become just the act of painting as well.발음듣기
대기중
There's a kind of mystery about the alchemy of painting, about how you take medium and solvent and pigment and turn it into reality.발음듣기
대기중
I think he's after a kind of heightened experience of looking, a kind of heightened experience of the intimacy of this family, of this moment.발음듣기
