拉斐尔·索尔比

叙事历史与风俗画大师

拉斐洛·索尔比是19至20世纪的佛罗伦萨画家，专攻叙事画。 As a young man, he studied design in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Florence; then painting under professor Antonio Ciseri. By 18 years, he had completed his first major work: Corso Donati mortally wounded is transported by Monks of San Salvi to their Abbey (see gallery). The painting won an award at the Florentine Triennale contest of 1861. He completed commissions for patrons in America and England. In 1863, he won a contest in Rome with the essay piece Savonarola explains the Bible to some friends in the Convent of San Marco. He was unable to make use of the stipend attached to the prize. In Florence, he exhibited a work depicting Piccarda Donati kidnapped from the Convent of Santa Chiara, by her brother Corso. He completed a St Catherine of Siena before an angry Florentine mob after concluding peace with the Pope, by commission for signore marchese Carlo Torrigiani. His painting of Imelda de' Lambertazzi e Bonifazio Geremei (lovers from Donizetti's opera) was sold to Wilhelm Metzler of Frankfort, Germany. In 1869, the sculptor Giovanni Duprè visited his studio, and commissioned a Phidias sculpts the Minerva Statue. 在此之后，索尔比主要创作小型画布作品，大多通过巴黎的古皮尔画廊出售。许多作品描绘古罗马（新庞贝风格）或托斯卡纳的历史过往：《阿诺河赛船：环舞》；《十日谈》；《佛罗伦萨音乐会：三床餐厅》；《维斯塔贞女在表演后离开圆形剧场》；《陶器商贩》；《柱廊下的家庭场景》；《盖乌斯·格拉古和提比略·格拉古之母科内莉亚》。其他画作则是身着18世纪服饰与盛装的风俗场景。在他的作品中，《竞技场中的马车比赛》和《新婚夫妇的兽栏》被伦敦的西利家族购得，《五月歌会》则由佛罗伦萨的埃吉斯托·万努奇先生购买。他的许多作品被英国收藏家收购。他的作品包括一系列游戏题材，如《滚球游戏》、《纸牌游戏》、《气球游戏》、《陀螺游戏》和《猜拳游戏》。他绘制了一幅《但丁的康复》。1870年，在帕尔马美术展览会上，他展出了《街道》。索尔比成为佛罗伦萨皇家美术学院院士，以及乌尔比诺皇家美术学院驻院教授和荣誉会员。 索尔比于1931年12月19日在佛罗伦萨去世。
