小精灵

Sculptor/metalsmith close to Donatello Italian
1432
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 500
1436年，科西莫·德·美第奇位于佛罗伦萨的宅第中新添了一座庭院喷水池，很久以后这座宅第才转变成我们今天所知的富丽堂皇的美第奇宫。据载，一位名叫贝托·德·安东尼奥的石匠打造了这座喷水池，一位叫安东尼奥的油漆匠受雇给喷水池顶上的“小精灵”（spiritello，有时也暗指天使）镀金。记载中提到的“小精灵”应该就是指上图中这个古灵精怪的小傢伙。其雕塑者非常熟悉多纳泰罗在1429年为锡耶纳的洗礼堂制作的青铜天使，他将墨丘利和西风神的特征活泼地结合在了一起；前者是受到金融世家美第奇家族爱戴的商业之神，后者则是佛罗伦萨人每年五月迎接的西风。
