拉卡瓦納山谷風景The Lackawanna Valley_1855_喬治·英尼斯油畫作品欣賞。
風景畫家偶爾會畫一些風景畫來慶祝文明和技術(shù)對自然的勝利。然而,這樣的繪畫通常是不情愿的。
這幅畫是拉克瓦納鐵路公司委托的。起初,畫家喬治·英尼斯對這個想法很反感,因為他不認為技術(shù)是山水畫的合適主題。
最后,英尼斯承擔了這個項目,看看他是否能產(chǎn)生一個令人愉快的結(jié)果,盡管主題令人不快。
Landscape painters did occasionally paint landscapes celebrating the triumph of civilization and technology over nature. However, such paintings were usually done reluctantly.
This painting was commissioned by the Lackawanna Railway Company. At first, the painter, George Inness, was repelled by the idea since he did not regard technology as a suitable subject for landscape painting.
In the end, Inness undertook the project to see if he could produce a pleasant result, despite the distasteful subject matter.
