作品欣赏

索菲·冈恩布里·安德森（Sophie Gengembre Anderson，1823~1903.03.10）是一名生于法国的英国女性画家，拉斐尔前派，擅长画描绘儿童和妇女的风俗画，主要创作于农村地区。

索菲起初是一名石版印刷师和肖像画家，还与沃尔特·安德森（Walter Anderson）合作了美国圣公会主教的画像。索菲的油画作品《伊莱恩（Elaine）》是第一个被公开藏馆购买的女性画家的油画作品，也是康沃尔郡第一个作品拍卖超过百万英镑的女艺术家。

Elaine伊莱恩

158.4*240.7厘米 1870年 油画

藏于英国利物浦沃克艺术画廊

背景：取材自丁尼生《国王的田园诗》，讲述英国传说中亚瑟王和他的圆桌骑士。伊莱恩爱上了圆桌骑士之一的兰斯洛特（Sir Lancelot），但他爱的是王后格尼薇尔（Guinevere）。伊莱恩在单相思中死去，她忠实的哑仆遵照遗嘱，将她的遗体送去给兰斯洛特。利物浦市议会在1871年的秋季展购得，这也是公开藏馆第一次购买的女性艺术家作品。

赏析：伊莱恩躺在小船的开馆上，披落的红色长发上面挂着兰斯洛特的盾牌，身上盖着精致的饰毯，手持代表纯洁的百合花，还有一封向兰斯洛特表白的信。悲伤的仆人一手拿桨，一手托着头，小船在林木环绕的河流中行进。

The Children’s Storybook孩子们的读物

100.3*125.7厘米，油画

藏于英国伯明翰博物馆和艺术画廊

赏析：一群乡村孩子们在空地上玩耍。从最近处小男孩破旧的袜子可知他们都出生贫寒，中间的女孩们正津津有味地分享一本儿童读物，后面的一个小女孩带着自己的弟弟妹妹们，俨然一副家庭主妇小保姆的样子。虽然贫穷，他们仍然非常快乐。越是加快工业革命现代化进程的年代，这种单纯的愉悦越是可贵。

No Walk Today 今天不外出

49.5*39.5厘米，约1856年，油画

私人收藏

背景：维多利亚时代的经典风俗画，2008年通过苏富比拍卖行以超过一百万英镑的价格售出。

赏析：穿戴整齐小女孩撩起蕾丝窗帘，失望地看着窗外，通过窗户上的水珠可判断户外下着雨，因此她今天的散步取消了。她精致的装扮包括天鹅绒、鸵鸟毛、丝绸和蕾丝边，可看出生在比较富裕的家庭。那个年代还没有很有效的防雨装备，人们也无法抵抗严寒和潮湿，尤其是儿童，雨天出行容易引起感冒发烧，导致致命的肺炎。
