【旷世杰作的秘密】复活9

英语自学网

《基督复活》作为世界上最伟大的艺术品之一，他的命运却是多桀的，这幅壁画曾被不欣赏他的人粉刷掉，后被人修复后才得以重见人世。后在二战时，盟军曾轰炸其所在的圣塞波克罗市，但幸运的是当时盟军的指挥官记起他所读过的一本书中提到在此市中有世界上最伟大的艺术品，便立即命令停止轰炸，《基督复活》又逃过一劫。这或许是天意――基督，总会复活。

Because there was nothing in the scriptures to guide artists, resurrection images are relatively rare in Western art. One early plaque in ivory inventively shows God pulling Christ out of the tomb. In later resurrection scenes Christ was often shown as if He'd been catapulted into the air, to float like a weightless, ethereal being above scenes of turmoil and disbelief below. But in planning his fresco, Piero did have something to guide him an earlier image of the resurrection in the cathedral in Sansepolcro. The main altarpiece was painted over a century before by Niccolo di Segna. In the centre Christ steps from the tomb and below him the guards lie asleep. It seems very probable that Piero was asked to reflect this local treasure in his new version of The Resurrection.
