狩猟

Botticelli (Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi) Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 604

人間とサテュロスがライオン、熊、その他の動物を狩る場面を表したこの印象的な絵は、ルネッサンス時代に描かれた最も特異な作品のひとつです。ローマ時代の執筆家ルクレティウスとヴィトリヴィウスの書物に発想を得て描かれたとされる連作の1枚で、原始人の生活を彷彿とさせる、最も想像力あふれる作品です。ルクレティウスは、原始人が野獣のような生活をしたと記しています。この作品では、人物が粗末な棍棒を振り回し、遠景では山火事から動物が逃げ出しています。
