January 19 marks the 150th anniversary of the Russian painter Valentin Serov, who overturned all previous notions of the ceremonial portrait. Serov was born in St. Petersburg into the family of a music critic and composer, but contrary to the laws of continuity chose the life of an artist. // Self-portrait, 1880s

1月19日是俄罗斯画家瓦伦丁·谢罗夫(Valentin Serov)的150周年纪念日。这位著名画家颠覆了之前对礼仪肖像画的所有概念。谢罗夫出生在圣彼得堡的音乐家庭,父母是音乐评论家和作曲家。然而,他并没有遵照“子承父业”的规律,而是选择了绘画生涯。// 《自画像》(作于19世纪80年代)
Serov’s mother discovered her son’s talent quite early and saw to it that he took lessons from Karl Kopping and the great Russian artist Ilya Repin, whose works include “Barge Haulers on the Volga” and "Reply of the Cossaks to the Sultan." “Paintings this century are stark and forbidding, there’s nothing uplifting in them. I want something uplifting. That’s all I’m going to paint,” said Serov on graduating from the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts. // Portrait of Mika Morozov, 1901

谢罗夫的母亲很早就发现了儿子的天赋,并且让他师从卡尔·孔平(Karl Kopping)和伊利亚·列宾(Ilya Repin)学习绘画。俄罗斯伟大画家列宾的著名画作包括《伏尔加河上的纤夫》和《哥萨克回复苏丹的来信》。“这个世纪的画作刻板并令人生畏,这些画不会使人振奋。我想要一些令人为之一振的效果,这就是所有我想要刻画的东西,”谢罗夫从享有声望的圣彼得堡美术学院毕业时说道。//《米卡·莫罗佐夫(Mika Morozov)的肖像》(1901年)
1887 saw the appearance of Serov’s most famous painting, “Girl with Peaches,” (1887) which shows Vera, the daughter of renowned philanthropist and collector Savva Mamontov. No other Russian artist ever conveyed the poetry of youth with such captivating freshness or masterful technique. // Girl with peaches, 1887

1887年,谢罗夫最著名画作的《少女和桃子》问世。这幅画作描绘了著名慈善家和收藏家萨瓦·马蒙托夫(Savva Mamontov)的女儿维拉。再无第二位俄罗斯画家能用如此高超地技艺传达青春的诗意和清新。//《少女与桃子》(1887年)
His next picture, “Girl in Sunlight,” is also a celebration of youth, freshness and tranquil joy — a distinctive step towards post-impressionism in which the focus is on the unison of man and nature. “All I’ve ever sought is the freshness that you feel in nature but don’t see in pictures.” // Portrait of Maria Simonovich, 1888

Valentin Serov

他的下一幅画《阳光中的女孩》也歌颂了青春、清新和宁静的快乐。这幅画被视为以人与自然和谐为焦点的后印象派中的独特一笔。“我所寻找的正是那种能在自然中感受到、但却未曾在画中看到的清新。”// 《玛利亚·斯莫诺维奇(Maria Simonovich)的肖像》(1888年 )
Constantly perfecting his craft, in subsequent years the artist created a gallery of the most famous people of the age, including monarchs and princes, industrialists and bankers, actors and artists. // Portrait of painter Isaac Levitan, 1893

在接下来的数年里,画家不断完善自己的技艺,并为当代众多著名人士创作肖像画,其中包括国王和王子、实业家和银行家、演员和艺术家。//《画家艾萨克·莱维坦(Isaac Levitan)的肖像》(1893年)
Many ceremonial portraits at the time were painted according to a template. Having found a formula that worked, artists used it repeatedly, depicting their subjects in the same poses time and again. // Portrait of composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, 1898

Valentin Serov

当时的许多礼仪肖像画都非常“公式化”,是套用一定的创作模板而绘制出的。画家们在尝试出一些不错的创作模式后,便对其反复使用,要求绘画对象摆出相同的姿势。// 《作曲家尼古拉·林姆斯基-高沙可夫( Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov)的肖像》(1898年)
Serov’s formal portraits of the late 19th century did not feature banal poses or static heroic postures: on canvas his models did not turn into ceremonial depictions, but remained themselves. His portrait of Nicholas Romanov is one of the finest portraits of the last Russian emperor. // Portrait of Nicholas II, 1900

Valentin Serov

谢罗夫的19世纪晚期礼仪肖像中既没有陈腐的模板,也没有英雄式的特定姿势:他定格在画布上的主角们并不落入礼仪肖像的套路,而是展示了真正的自我。出自谢罗夫之手的尼古拉·罗曼诺夫(Nikolay Romanov)肖像是俄国末代帝王最好的肖像画之一。// 《尼古拉二世的肖像》(1900年)
In the 1900s Serov’s portraits were of celebrated figures marked with the stamp of exclusivity and proud solitude, as if ascended on a pedestal. The disquieting atmosphere of revolution brought such images to life. “This is nothing short of a monument to Yermolova!” wrote the architect Fyodor Shekhtel, so expressive was Serov’s portrait of the Russian actress that it resembled a sculpture. // Portrait of Maria Ermolova, 1905

Valentin Serov

在谢罗夫20世纪初所创作的肖像画中,那些著名人物带着一种独有的骄傲和孤独,似乎画家带着崇敬之情创作了这些画作。此外,令人不安的革命气氛让这些画作栩栩如生。“这简直是叶尔莫洛娃的雕像!”建筑师费奥多·谢克特尔(Fyodor Shekhtel)写到。谢罗夫为俄罗斯女演员所画的肖像正是如此富有表现力,仿佛是一座立体的雕塑。// 《玛利亚·叶尔莫洛娃(Maria Ermolova)的肖像》(1905年)
Two of the highlights of Diaghilev’s seasons, the ballets Cleopatra and Scheherazade, were a sensation. The main roles were performed by Ida Rubinstein, in whom Serov saw “Egypt and Assyria miraculously resurrected in this extraordinary woman ... There is monumentality in her every movement — nothing less than an archaic bas-relief brought to life.” // Portrait of Ida Rubinstein, 1910

Valentin Serov

佳吉列夫时期的芭蕾舞《埃及艳后》和《天方夜谭组曲》引发了轰动。剧中主角则由艾达·鲁宾斯坦(Ida Rubinstein)所扮演。谢罗夫认为“这位不平凡的女子奇迹般再现了埃及和亚述风情……她的每一个动作都是辉煌璀璨的——就像古老的浮雕获得了生命。”// 《艾达·鲁宾斯坦的肖像》(1910年)
Last autumn “Portrait of Maria Tsetlin” went under the hammer at Christie’s for £9.26 million, becoming at once the most valuable work produced by the artist and the most expensive piece sold during the so-called “Russian auction.” // Portrait of Maria Tsetlin, 1910

去年秋天,《玛利亚·采特林的肖像》在克里斯蒂拍卖行以926万英镑的高价一锤定音,成为谢罗夫最有价值的作品,也是“俄罗斯拍卖”中以最高价格卖出的作品。//《玛利亚·采特林(Maria Tsetlin)的肖像》(1910年)
