Willem Kalf

Japanese: カルフ - かるふ(英語表記)Willem Kalf
Willem Kalf

Dutch painter. Born in Rotterdam, died in Amsterdam. He lived in France from 1640 to 1645, and was active in Amsterdam thereafter. He displayed extraordinary talent for still life painting at the time, and excelled in painting breakfast tables, mainly featuring cups, bottles, vases, fruit plates, and other glassware, as well as silver and ceramics. Painted with precise composition and delicate use of color, these still lifes are not only excellent in terms of painting, but also have great cultural historical significance due to their accurate depiction of materials. His use of light and color is strongly influenced by Rembrandt. His works are in museums such as the Louvre, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Berlin, and Dresden.

Japanese:

オランダの画家。ロッテルダムに生まれ、アムステルダムで没した。1640~1645年フランスに滞在、以後アムステルダムで活躍した。静物画に当時非凡な手腕を発揮し、コップ、瓶、壺(つぼ)、果物皿など各種のガラス器、銀器、陶器の置かれた主として朝食のテーブルを描くのを得意とした。構成の緻密(ちみつ)さと色彩処理の繊細さで描かれたそれらの静物は、絵画的にも優れているが、同時に正確な材質描写によって文化史的な意味も大きい。光と色調の処理にレンブラントの影響が強い。作品はルーブル、アムステルダム、ロッテルダム、ベルリン、ドレスデンなどの美術館にある。
