倫敦不眠的達芬奇之夜 Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan

Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan
（9 November 2011 – 5 February 2012）

周五晚去National Gallery關於達芬奇畫展最後一次talk《Learning from Leonardo DaVinci：end of journey》，我和小女兒一起去的，這次畫展也讓她成為達芬奇迷，當晚去聽talk的人都很激動而惆悵， 很多人聽完talk後站在二樓遙望樓下第一展廳裏的幾幅畫，與畫展道別，這個周末將是達芬奇倫敦畫展最後兩天，畫廊破例開放直到半夜，周末過後，
《Cecilia Gallerani》將回波蘭，這三個月她幾乎都快成為倫敦情人, 波蘭人民早就抱怨了
《St Jerome》回羅馬梵蒂岡
《La belle ferronnière》《Virgin of the Rock》等回巴黎
《Madonna Litta 》將回聖彼得堡（列寧格勒）
《最後的晚餐》最美的那張複製品將被英國皇家收回，連帶那３０多幅珍貴的達芬奇畫稿

幸好自己有張通票，去年上半年提前辦好，這三個月聽了十幾場Free Talk ,參觀展覽16次，還一大早去排隊讓家人，朋友和他們的老板都去看了畫展，分享了快樂

聽了達芬奇時期文藝複興的音樂會，看文藝複興時期的舞蹈的介紹，這次畫展對我就是一次文藝複興之旅，聽了很多，卻知道很少，剛剛有些熟悉文藝複興時期的米蘭，佛羅倫薩，和那個時期藝術天才的轟轟烈烈：達芬奇，拉斐爾，米開朗基羅， 這場旅程卻又要結束了，憂傷之中也感恩今生有幸能碰上這場被譽為世紀之展的畫展．達芬奇曾經生活的年代離現在已經500年餘，在展覽的這三個月裏，讓參觀者感受意大利文藝複興時那濃烈的藝術氣息．

周六晚去離國家畫廊不遠的Royal Festival聽一場德國作曲家Anton Bruncher的專場音樂會，一出門看到天空開始飄著鵝毛雪花，音樂會出來一看：　夜幕下的倫敦已經被雪花覆蓋， 頂著雪花再步行去National Galley去跟畫兒道別，都已經晚上10pm， 還是有不少人在那，

最有意思的是，最後一次看，還注意到達芬奇的一個很小的筆記本，自己非常工整秀麗，寫什麽我是看不懂，我唯一看懂了他做的乘法方程，讓我感到還有點自豪，

人們都說這是自文藝複興以來，第一次達芬奇的畫展， 也很可能是最後一次，因為達芬奇幸存的畫作已經很稀少脆弱， 不能再這樣長途跋涉顛簸了。

我從畫廊出來突然想到：難道這滿天的雪花是為達芬奇倫敦畫展而舞，是為這次世紀之展最後的送行？想起展覽的第一天, 我看完出來見到畫廊邊上的聖馬丁教堂St Martin in the field 塔頂上那一輪明月，把天空是那麽皎潔明媚，月亮，雪花都來慶賀這場達芬奇畫作的世紀盛會．

'One of the exhibitions of the century' – Roy Strong, Telegraph 
'Serious ideas – and a serious exhibition' – Jonathan Jones, Guardian
'Truly remarkable' – Duncan Macmillan, Scotsman  

‘Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan’ is the most complete display of Leonardo’s rare surviving paintings ever held. This unprecedented exhibition – the first of its kind anywhere in the world – brings together sensational international loans never before seen in the UK.
Leonardo the artist

While numerous exhibitions have looked at Leonardo da Vinci as an inventor, scientist or draughtsman, this is the first to be dedicated to his aims and techniques as a painter. Inspired by the recently restored National Gallery painting, The Virgin of the Rocks, this exhibition focuses on Leonardo as an artist. In particular it concentrates on the work he produced as court painter to Duke Lodovico Sforza in Milan in the late 1480s and 1490s.

As a painter, Leonardo aimed to convince viewers of the reality of what they were seeing while still aspiring to create ideals of beauty – particularly in his exquisite portraits – and, in his religious works, to convey a sense of awe-inspiring mystery.

Featuring the finest paintings and drawings by Leonardo and his followers, the exhibition examines Leonardo’s pursuit for perfection in his representation of the human form.  Works on display include ‘La Belle Ferronière’ (Musée du Louvre, Paris), the ‘Madonna Litta’ (Hermitage, Saint Petersburg) and ‘Saint Jerome’ (Pinacoteca Vaticana, Rome).

The two versions of Leonardo’s ‘Virgin of the Rocks’ – belonging to the National Gallery and the Louvre – will also be shown together for the first time.
The final part of the exhibition features a near-contemporary, full-scale copy of Leonardo’s famous ‘Last Supper’, on loan from the Royal Academy. Seen alongside all the surviving preparatory drawings made by Leonardo for the 'Last Supper', visitors will discover how such a large-scale painting was designed and executed.
