有一个非常非常著名的裸体画作
叫做马背上的夫人
我不知道大家看过没有
也许你看到这个画作
你第一即象是感到有点不雅观
毕竟画作上的女人那是一丝不挂的
但是随后呢
你可能会感到羞愧啊
这是1898年英国画家约翰克利亚的作品
而油画上的女人其实真实存在的
她名字呢叫戈黛瓦
Her name is Godiva
1040年啊成为了一个伯爵的妻子
他们当时住在英国的考文垂
不过呢这个伯爵呢
非常非常的暴力啊
他对这个考文垂的市民啊
强加重税
所以他老婆呢
也就是戈黛瓦夫人
不断的向丈夫求情说
你能不能把税减一点啊
那丈夫非常生气
说你装什么装啊
你装什么好人啊
妇人之仁
你懂什么呀
拒绝了啊
戈黛瓦夫人的请求
但是戈黛瓦夫人三番五次的磨呀磨呀磨呀
最后伯爵被磨烦了
非常生气
说要不你这样
你光着身子在街上走一圈
我就答应你
他觉得端庄贤淑的妻子
不可能答应吧
结果戈黛瓦夫人居然告诉全城的人
自己将全裸骑上白马
走上大街
那一天
戈黛瓦夫人
只能靠长发遮住身体
那全城的人居然都闭门不出
静纳窗帘
考文垂市
顿时成为了一座非常寂静的空城
所以这幅画作啊
当我了解到他的背景啊
我感到非常非常的羞愧
人最难的呀
就是学会去尊重他人
把人作为目的
而不是纯粹的手段
当然很多时候
其实我们不需要被教导
我们只需要被不断的提醒
所以读懂欣赏艺术需要正确的三观,善良的灵魂,和适当的知识与见识。
Lady Godiva was an 11th century gentlewoman
married to the powerful yet insensitive Earl of Mercia and Lord of Coventry, Leofric.
Legend has it that the citizens of Coventry were highly depressed and disheartened
due to heavy taxes imposed by the cruel Leofric.
Despite repeated requests by Lady Godiva, he refused,
but agreed to lessen the burden provided she rode through the market town naked on horseback.
Left with no alternative and determined to help her townspeople,
she completed the challenge,
following which the taxes were abolished leaving aside those on horses.
An addition to this legend included that of the ‘Peeping Tom’,
who couldn’t resist getting an eyeful of the Countess and opened his window only to be blinded immediately.
This Anglo-Saxon noblewoman is also known for her generosity
towards her religion evident from her contribution
towards the establishment of a Benedictine monastery at Coventry, along with Leofric.
She also supported the establishment of various churches and monasteries
in different counties across England.
