Giorgione, the Adoration of the Shepherds
(music) ("In The Sky With Diamonds" by Scalding Lucy) Heather: We're here at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.발음듣기
We see two shepherds in the front kneeling with Joseph and Mary in front of the Christ child who lays on the ground.발음듣기
Heather: When you think about a scene of the Adoration of the Shepherds, when the shepherds follow this star, this is the moment when they first recognized Jesus is special.발음듣기
That's the moment they're showing here, but we're used to seeing it in a hierarchical, symmetrical way.발음듣기
Here they're pushed to the right and we've got the shepherds in the center and a full [unintelligible] panel taken up by the landscape.발음듣기
Mark: I think what's interesting for this picture and what sets the tone for it is its quietness in their amazement.발음듣기
It makes you think of a people in the Renaissance in Venice who would have looked at this painting and mimicked that posture.발음듣기
Mark: I like that idea of imitation because we look at the shepherd with the ragged sleeve, the green bodice ...발음듣기
Mark: But look at his hands and then look at the Virgin Mary's hands and you can see that he's actually imitating her.발음듣기
[unintelligible] other his other son and the fingers together, so this idea of Venetians emulating the shepherds in the same way the shepherds have emulated the Virgin Mary.발음듣기
Heather: And then we've got Joseph who's a little bit off to the side and that's important because Joseph isn't Jesus' father.발음듣기
This is that first moment when Jesus' divinity is recognized and they're starting to figure it out.발음듣기
Mark: This sort of the diffuse evening sunlight that seems to be increasingly low on the horizon striking the sides of those buildings more than it does the top of the tower under construction because there's this play between the preciseness of the details and the sense of atmosphere.발음듣기
Heather: That softness leads to the serenity so that the setting is perfectly married to the subject of the shepherds.발음듣기
You can really see how Giorgione's a master with oil paint here, especially in the middle ground.발음듣기
Mark: Especially where the conduits flashes down and there's that little lick of white paint that comes up there.발음듣기
I think when we talk about the advantages of oil paint, one of them is color and if we look at the central group, and we still have to look at these color harmonies, that green of the kneeling shepherd.발음듣기
Heather: But look at how the shepherd is in red and blue and white; and then Mary is in red and blue and white.발음듣기
It's another place where we see Giorgione carefully balancing his picture and creating this union between the holy people and the worshippers.발음듣기
Mark: I think the other place we can see it is that robe that Joseph is wearing, this spectacular robe that defies gravity ...발음듣기
Mark: And it's actually a brand new pigment that was being developed and actually marketed by Venetian oil paint sellers.발음듣기
Heather: When you think about an Adoration of the Shepherds as pendant to a scene where you have magi, or the three kings, a type of painting that's full of rich jewels and rich fabrics and all sorts of luxury, this is really something different, and yet these people have nobility.발음듣기
