Draperie (English spelling) [Germany]

Japanese: ドラペリー(英語表記)Draperie[ドイツ]
Draperie (English spelling) [Germany]
In Japan, it is called emon (clothing folds). In English, it is called drapery, and in French, it is called draperie. In art history, it refers to the folds seen in the clothing of human figures in sculptures and paintings. Although there are characteristics that vary by region and era, there are phenomena that are similar to stylistic changes. For example, in ancient Greek sculpture, the draperies seen in sculptures of the Archaic period are generally highly decorative, with delicate parallel lines flowing down in a regular rhythm (such as the Acropolis in Athens and Kore on the island of Samos).

Japanese:
日本でいう衣文(えもん)。英語でドレーパリーdrapery,フランス語でドラプリーdraperieという。美術史では彫刻や絵画の人像の着衣に見られるひだのことで,地域や時代によってそれぞれ特色があるが,様式的変化に類似した現象が見られる。たとえば古代ギリシア彫刻の場合アルカイク時代の彫刻に見られるドラペリーは一般にきわめて装飾的で,繊細な平行線が規則的なリズムを守りながら流れ落ちる(アテネのアクロポリスやサモス島のコレーなど)。
