著名威尼斯畫家喬瓦尼・巴蒂斯塔・帖波洛(Giovanni Battista Tiepolo)的《玫瑰聖母與天使》領銜紐約蘇富比1月29日舉行的西洋古典油畫晚拍。畫作最後以17,349,000美元售出。

Sotheby’s is pleased to announce that one of the greatest works by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo remaining in private hands was offered as the headline work in their Master Paintings Evening Sale in New York on 29 January 2020. The artwork was sold for 17,349,000USD.

此畫創作於1735年，是藝術家成熟初期的作品；它也是私人珍藏中最重要帖波洛傑作之一，同期的帖波洛祭壇畫多存於全球著名教堂及博物館內。《玫瑰聖母與天使》是拍賣場上有史以來其中一幅最彌足珍貴、意義非凡的帖波洛作品，估價逾1,500萬美元。作品將由1月24日起於西洋古典藝術週期間在紐約蘇富比畫廊進行預展。

Painted in 1735, The Madonna of the Rosary with Angels is an important early work by the great Venetian artist, dating from a period that is considered one of the artist’s most significant and one that brought him recognition as among the greatest painters of 18th-century Europe. Other Tiepolo altarpieces from this time hang in prominent churches and museums throughout the world, establishing the forthcoming auction as a rarified event. Estimated to achieve in excess of US$15 million, the monumental painting is one of the rarest and most significant works by Tiepolo ever to come to market.

帖波洛被譽為最重要的十八世紀威尼斯藝術家，其裝飾性和富想像力的風格不僅對意大利藝術產生了深遠而持久的影響，而且他還是浪漫主義和「美好時代」(Belle Époque)運動的先驅。本次上拍的帖波洛畫作卓絕非凡,能夠媲美者，在國際市場上難得一見，因為其大部分作品都是原址保留的濕壁畫和祭壇畫。

Tiepolo is widely regarded as Venice’s foremost artist in the 18th century, whose decorative and imaginative style not only had a profound and lasting impact on Italian art, but was also a vital precursor to Romanticism and the Belle Époque movements. Major works of such astounding quality by Tiepolo are rare on the international market, for much of his work was carried out in frescos and altarpieces that remain in situ.
