French sculptor. Born in Troyes. At a young age, he studied in Rome under the patronage of Cardinal Séguier, and after returning to Japan, he was recognized and worked under Le Brun on various decorations for the Palace of Versailles. His representative works, which decorate the gardens of Versailles, include group sculptures such as "Apollo Adored by a Nymph" (1666-75) and "The Rape of Proserpina" (1694-99). Girardon, who was the most faithful practitioner of Versailles classicism during the era of Louis XIV, Colbert, and Le Brun, imitated Hellenistic sculptures, and his Apollo was a copy of "Apollo of the Belvedere." He also produced many portraits and funerary monuments. One of his representative works is the tomb of Cardinal Richelieu in the Sorbonne University Chapel. He died in Paris.

フランスの彫刻家。トロワに生まれる。若くしてセギエ枢機卿(すうききょう)の庇護(ひご)を受けてローマに留学し、帰国後認められてルブランの下でベルサイユ宮殿の各種の装飾に従事する。『ニンフにかしずかれるアポロン』(1666~75)、『プロセルピーナの略奪』(1694~99)などの群像彫刻は、ベルサイユの庭園を飾る彼の代表作である。ルイ14世、コルベール、ルブラン時代のベルサイユ古典主義のもっとも忠実な実践者であったジラルドンの作品は、ヘレニズム彫刻の模倣であり、また彼のアポロンは「ベルベデーレのアポロン」の引き写しである。肖像彫刻や墓碑も数多く制作した。その代表作にソルボンヌ大学聖堂の枢機卿リシュリューの墓がある。パリに没。 [中山公男] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
