拍品描述 翻译

The atlant squats with his right leg raised, his toes outstretched, his right hand resting on his knee and his left still holding part of the superstructure which was originally located above him. His face superbly carved with almond-shaped eyes below bushy furrowed brows and full bow-shaped lips, framed by thick tufts of hair, flanked by his large wings.

Provenance: An old private collection in France. Acher Eskenasy, Paris, France, acquired from the above in 2001. LP Collection Paris, France, acquired from the above. Acher Eskenasy is a noted French scholar and collector of Asian and tribal art. Major works previously owned by him are now in important collections and museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris.
Condition:
Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, losses, nicks, scratches, structural cracks, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations. With an old sand-colored pigment coating.

Weight: 8,241 g (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 30.5 cm (excl. stand) and 35.5 cm (incl. stand)

With a fitted wood stand. (2)

Only a few sculptures communicate so clearly the classical legacy in Gandharan art. His mature, bushy face recalls the portraits of Greek and Roman gods and leaders, while his Herculean musculature evokes the athletic ideal. Furthermore, the atlant type stems from a tradition in classical architecture of depicting male and female figures supporting architectural superstructures best known from The Ten Books on Architecture by Vitruvius, dedicated to Emperor Augustus (see Rowland, Vitruvius: Ten Books on Architecture, Cambridge, 1999, pages 83 and 135).

In the Gandharan context, similar examples in stucco surviving in situ line the veneer of stupa bases at Taxila and Hadda, recording the placement of such figures at Buddhist sites. Whilst maintaining a similar function and a clearly Western look, the Gandharan version differs from the classical prototype in the common inclusion of wings and the primarily ornamental rather than architectural function of the figure. Moreover, while we have evidence from which to understand his context at Buddhist sites, his precise identity remains a mystery. He has been called a disguised yaksha, a lesser Greek god, and a Garuda, yet there is no archaeological or textual foundation to underpin any of these claims (see Foucher, L’art Gréco-Bouddhique du Gandhara, 1905, page 208, and Errington, The Western Discovery of the Art of Gandhara and the Finds of Jamalgarhi, London, 1987, page 67). Perhaps, the term “Atlas” ties him too closely to the classical prototypes, at the risk of obscuring added layers of meaning in the unique Gandharan context.

Literature comparison:
For a further discussion of winged Atlas figures from Gandhara, see P. Pal, Asian Art at the Norton Simon Museum, vol. 1, fig. 35, p. 68. For similar examples of winged “Atlas” figures, see W. Zwalf, A Catalogue of the Gandhara Sculpture at the British Museum, 1996, pp. 206-211, fig. 355-368. Two other examples survive in the Claude de Marteau collection in Brussels and the Peshawar Museum (see Kurita, Gandharan Art, vol. II, Tokyo, 1990, figs. 448 & 453, pp. 155 & 157).

很少有雕塑能如此清晰地傳達出犍陀羅藝術中的古典意義。他成熟的臉讓人想起希臘和羅馬的神靈和領袖的肖像,而他強壯的肌肉則喚起了運動員的理想。此外,阿特拉斯類型雕塑源於古典建築中支持建築上層建築。最著名的是維特魯威獻給奧古斯都皇帝的十本建築書籍 (見Rowland,Vitruvius: Ten Books on Architecture,康橋,1999年,第83和135頁)。

在犍陀羅時期,在塔西拉和哈達的佛塔基地的飾面上,在原地倖存的灰泥中有類似的例子,記錄了這些人物在佛教遺址中的位置。雖然保持了相似的功能和明顯的西方外觀,但犍陀羅版本與經典原型的不同之處在於翅膀以及人物的主要裝飾功能而非建築功能。 此外,雖然我們有證據可以瞭解他在佛教遺址的背景,但他的確切身份仍然是個謎。 他被稱為夜叉、小希臘神和迦樓羅,但沒有考古學或文字基礎支持任何這些說法(參見 Foucher,L'art Gréco-Bouddhique du Gandhara,1905年,第208頁;見Errington,The Western Discovery of the Art of Gandhara和the Finds of Jamalgarhi,倫敦,1987 年,第 67 頁)。 或許,“阿特拉斯”一詞將他與經典原型聯繫得太緊密,有可能在獨特的犍陀羅語境中會掩蓋附加意義。

文獻比較:
關於犍陀羅阿特拉斯像進階討論,見P. Pal, ,《Asian Art at the Norton Simon Museum》,卷1,圖35,頁68。一件相似的阿特拉斯像,見W. Zwalf,《A Catalogue of the Gandhara Sculpture at the British Museum》,1996年,頁206-211,圖355-368。兩件例子現存於布魯塞爾的Claude de Marteau collection和白沙瓦博物館(見Kurita,Gandharan Art,卷II,東京,1990年,圖448和453,頁155和157)。
