每个英文名都有含义,而Ginevra这个名字是什么意思?
Ginevra de'Benci
趁着电影 "Da Vinci Code" 在各大小影院热烈上映,我也在这儿凑个热闹.(电影还行,别期望太高.对知识饥渴的同学来说,绝对是个学习宗教史的好机会.)
不过我在这儿想聊的是 Ginevra de'Benci.这是 Da Vinci 在美国的唯一一幅油画作品,现收藏于华府的国家艺术博物馆 National Gallery of Arts.(希望我能早日圆我的欧洲行之梦.)
Ginevra de'Benci是 Florentine的一位年轻貌美的贵族小姐.诗,书,琴,画,无一不通,是当地有名的才女.芳龄16时,Ginevra 嫁给了 Luigi Niccolini.这幅作品很可能是 Da Vinci 为庆贺他们订婚或结婚而画的,也有可能是 Bernardo Bembo,Venetian 驻Florence 的大使特意为 Ginevra 订做的.要知道,当时的 Ginevra 可谓是追求者无数.这位 Bernardo Bembo 先生也是拜倒在她石榴裙之下的众多仰慕者之一.据说还是她的亲密朋友.
贮立在这幅油画前,我不禁想象 Ginevra 在1474年的心情.她的表情有些木然,双目微睁,嘴角略微向下,仿佛陷入深深的沉思之中.从她的眉目之间丝毫看不出婚前的喜悦和不安,更多的是思考...
Ginevra 是一幅双面油画作品.肖像的反面是一束由桂枝,棕榈枝和松柏枝组成的花圈,上用拉丁文写着“美貌添色于美德”.桂枝象征着智慧,棕榈枝象征着美德,松柏枝象征着纯洁.而松柏枝在意大利文中是Juniper,发音和Ginevra很接近.所有这些无一不在提醒观众 Ginevra 是一位同时拥有美丽和智慧的年轻才女.所以说不准,Da Vinci 也是仰慕者之一呢.

她是Guinevere的意大利语形式,意味着“白色和光滑”。

French Genève German Genf Italian Ginevra
City (pop., 2001 est.: urban agglom., 464,000), capital of Geneva canton, southwestern Switzerland.
At the tip of Lake Geneva on the Rhône River, it was by the 6th century BC a centre of the Celtic Allobroges and was later conquered by the Romans. In the 16th century John Calvin transformed Geneva into a theocratic state and the intellectual centre of Protestant Europe. In the 18th century, as the birthplace of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the sanctuary of Voltaire, it attracted the elite of the Enlightenment. It joined the Swiss Confederation in 1814. It was the site of the Geneva Convention in 1864, and the League of Nations was founded there in 1919. An international hub of commerce and finance, it is the headquarters of the International Red Cross (1864) and the European branch of the United Nations.
