A Study in French Still-Life Paintings in the Eighteenth Century: From the Viewpoint of the Display Arrangement of the Art Collectors

本研究以法国世纪静物画收藏家的收藏与画室的绘画布置为研究对象，探讨静物画的陈列方式与创作方式之间的相互影响。到了十八世纪，先锋收藏家开始狂热地收藏法国当代艺术品，这就是所谓的爱国趣味。在他们的画室里，通常对称地陈列一副画，大画挂在墙上，小画挂在墙上。本研究厘清静物画家对尺寸、题材、风格的选择，与收藏家的品味、画面排列习惯之间的关系。

This study examined French collectors' collections and picture arrangements in their picture rooms in the eighteenth century and to show the mutual influence between the mode of displaying still-life paintings and that of creating them. In the eighteenth century, pioneering collectors began to fervently collect French contemporary art, which is so-called patriotic taste. In their picture rooms, they usually displayed a pair of paintings symmetrically, and hung large paintings on the upper part and small paintings the lower part of the wall. This research clarified the relationship between still-life painters' choice of size, subject and style and collectors' taste and convention of picture arrangement.
