翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Woman Holding a Balance ： ウィキペディア英語版 Woman Holding a Balance ''Woman Holding a Balance'', also called ''Woman Testing a Balance'', is an oil painting by Dutch Baroque artist Johannes Vermeer. At one time the painting, completed 1662–1663, was known as ''Woman Weighing Gold'', but closer evaluation has determined that the balance in her hand is empty. Opinions on the theme and symbolism of the painting differ, with the woman alternatively viewed as a symbol of holiness or earthliness. ==Theme== In the painting, Vermeer has depicted a young woman holding an empty balance before a table on which stands an open jewelry box, the pearls and gold within spilling over. A blue cloth rests in the left foreground, beneath a mirror, and a window to the left — unseen save its golden curtain — provides light. Behind the woman is a painting of the Last Judgment featuring Christ with raised, outstretched hands.〔Huerta (2005), p. 54.〕 The woman may have been modeled on Vermeer's wife, Catharina Vermeer.〔Walther and Suckale (2002), p. 332.〕 According to Robert Huerta in ''Vermeer and Plato: Painting the Ideal'' (2005), the image has been variously "interpreted as a vanitas painting, as a representation of divine truth or justice, as a religious meditative aid, and as an incitement to lead a balanced, thoughtful life."〔 Some viewers have imagined the woman is weighing her valuables, while others compare her actions to Christ's, reading parable into the pearls.〔 Some art critics, including John Michael Montias who describes her as "symbolically weighing unborn souls", have seen the woman as a figure of Mary.〔Montias (1991), p. 191.〕〔Kenner (2006), p. 56.〕 To some critics who perceive her as measuring her valuables, the juxtaposition with the final judgment suggests that the woman should be focusing on the treasures of Heaven rather than those of Earth.〔Roskill (1989), p. 148.〕 In this perspective, the mirror on the wall may reinforce the vanity of her pursuits.〔Carroll and Stewart (2003), p. 61.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Woman Holding a Balance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
