土耳其非正规军人

Jean-Léon Gérôme French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 804

1868年初,杰洛姆在近东旅行十二周后回到巴黎,创作出这幅引人注目的作品。他在自己的工作室中给一位模特穿上从黎凡特买回的衣饰,此时正值他的事业巅峰期。杰洛姆给这幅画起的土耳其语标题翻译过来是“无头”的意思,让人联想起那些凶狠残忍,无法无天的士兵,他们因为没有军饷而一味劫掠财物。不过,很难想象图上这人穿着如此精美的丝织束腰外衣还能在战场上冲锋陷阵。杰洛姆因善于表现织物的细腻质感而闻名,他在创作这幅杰作时不遗余力,赋予这位模特一种尊严,这在他的其他东方题材作品中并不多见。
