Sodoma - Sodoma (English spelling)

Japanese: ソドマ - そどま(英語表記)Sodoma
Sodoma - Sodoma (English spelling)

Italian painter. His real name was Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, and he was nicknamed Sodoma (meaning male homosexuality). He was born in Bercilli, a town in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, and died in Siena. He studied painting in northern Italy, and was particularly influenced by Leonardo da Vinci, but he went to Siena around 1500, and was active there ever since. Therefore, he should be considered a member of the Central Italian school of painting, rather than the Northern Italian school. In fact, he was influenced by Perugino and Luca Signorelli in Siena. From 1505 to 1508, he painted a mural of the life of St. Benedict at the Benedictine monastery of Monte Oliveto Maggiore near Siena, completing the series that Signorelli had begun. He also went to Rome, where he studied under Raphael and other artists, and created murals for the Villa Farnesina. He had a great influence on the next generation of Sienese Mannerist painters, especially Domenico Beccafumi (1485-1551). His representative works include "Descent from the Cross" (1502, Siena National Picture Gallery) and "The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian" (1525, Pitti Gallery, Florence). Sodoma's paintings are somewhat chaotic, but his figures have a particular elegance that makes them appealing.

Japanese:

イタリアの画家。ソドマ(男色の意)は通称で、本名はジョバンニ・アントニオ・バッツィGiovanni Antonio Bazziという。北イタリアのピエモンテ地方の町、ベルチッリに生まれ、シエナで没。北イタリアで画業を学び、とりわけレオナルド・ダ・ビンチの影響を受けたが、1500年ころシエナに行き、以来シエナで活躍した。したがって、北イタリアよりも、むしろ中部イタリア画派の一人とみるべきである。実際、彼はシエナでペルジーノやルカ・シニョレッリの影響を受けている。05年から08年にシエナ近郊のモンテ・オリベート・マッジョーレのベネディクト派修道院に聖ベネディクトゥスの生涯の壁画を描き、シニョレッリが始めたこの連作を完成させた。またローマにも行き、ラファエッロなど諸家に学ぶとともに、ビラ・ファルネジーナの壁画などを制作している。彼は次世代のシエナのマニエリスムの画家たち、とりわけベッカフーミDomenico Beccafumi(1485―1551)に大きな影響を及ぼした。代表作は『十字架降下』(1502・シエナ国立絵画館)、『聖セバスチャンの殉教』(1525・フィレンツェ、ピッティ美術館)など。ソドマの描く絵画にはやや混乱がみられるが、その人物の表現には特有の優美さがあり、それが魅力となっている。
