Italian painter. Known for his depictions of the pure harmony between man and nature, using the Swiss mountain landscape as his subject. Born in Arco at the foot of the Alps, he lost his mother when he was five years old and separated from his father, leading to a childhood of poverty and solitude. After studying briefly at the Academy of Brera, he lived in the Brianza region of Italy, where he painted paintings with a strong naturalistic tendency. From 1886 to 1894, he lived in the brightly lit Savonino, Switzerland, where he acquired his own technique of divisionism, as seen in "A Shepherdess Knitting" (1887, Kunstmuseum Zurich). Seeking something spiritual in art, he turned to symbolism after painting "The Angel of Life" (1894, Museum of Modern Art, Milan). He hated the constraints of civilization and wanted to express the brilliance of life in the purest nature. He also resonated with socialist ideas and contributed art theory to magazines. From 1994, he lived in Maloja, Switzerland, where he soon began working on what would become his final trilogy, Life, Death, and Nature (Segantini Museum, St. Moritz). Set in the Swiss highlands of Engadine, this trilogy conveys Segantini's ideal of the harsh and pure way of life of human beings. However, while he was creating these landscapes on the Schafberg at an altitude of 2,700 meters, he suddenly died of appendicitis at the age of 41. His works include The Brianza Wind-Flute Players at the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, and Midday in the Alps at the Ohara Museum of Art in Kurashiki.

イタリアの画家。スイスの山岳風景を題材に、人間と自然の澄みきった調和を描いたことで知られる。アルプス山麓(ろく)のアルコに生まれ、5歳のときに母親を亡くし、父親とも別れて、貧困と孤独の幼年時代を送る。短期間ブレラのアカデミーに学んだのち、イタリアのブリアンツァ地方に暮らし、自然主義的傾向の強い絵画を描く。1886年から94年まで明るい光のあふれたスイスのサボニーノに住み、独自の仕方で『編物をする羊飼いの少女』(1887・チューリヒ美術館)にみられるような筆触分割(分割主義)の手法を獲得する。芸術に精神的なものを求めた彼は、『生命の天使』(1894・ミラノ近代美術館)を描いてから象徴主義に向かう。文明の拘束を嫌い、汚れなき自然のうちに、生命の輝きを表現しようと望んだ。また社会主義思想に共鳴し、芸術論を雑誌に寄稿する。94年からスイスのマローヤに住んだが、やがて遺作となる『生』『死』『自然』の三部作(サン・モリッツ、セガンティーニ美術館)に取り組む。スイスの高原地帯エンガディンを舞台とするこの三部作は、セガンティーニの理想とした人間の厳しく清浄な生のあり方を伝えている。しかし、彼はこの風景画を標高2700メートルのシャーフベルクで制作中、盲腸炎のために41歳で急死した。東京の国立西洋美術館には『ブリアンツァの風笛を吹く男たち』、倉敷の大原美術館には『アルプスの真昼』が所蔵される。 [浅野春男] 『松方三郎著『ファブリ世界名画集90 セガンティーニ』(1973・平凡社)』 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 |
