van de Velde

Japanese: ファン･デ･フェルデ（英語表記）van de Velde

Willem I van de Velde (1614-1693) was born in Leiden, Netherlands. He is known for his unique monochrome style (grisaille), which depicts ships in minute detail, painted with pen on chalk-based boards or canvases. In 1673, he moved to England with his son Willem II van de V. (1633-1707), and together they became court painters to Charles II and then James II.

Theodor Hendrik van de Velde

1873‐1937
Dutch gynaecologist and sex researcher. While treating patients who had worries and concerns about their married life and were bound by Victorian sexual morality, he also conducted physiological and psychological research into marriage. His works include the trilogy The Perfect Marriage: A Study of Its Physiology and Technique, Disgust in Married Life, and Pregnancy and its Desirable Effects in Marriage. In particular, The Perfect Marriage, published in 1926, was translated into many languages and widely read. An abridged version was published in Japan in 1930 and banned, but the complete translation (under Van de Velde's name), published in 1946 after Japan's defeat in the war, was well received as an explanation of the importance of married couples' sex life, which had previously been considered taboo, and became the beginning of subsequent sexology books.

ファン･デ･フェルデ【Theodor Hendrik van de Velde】

1873‐1937
オランダの婦人科医，性研究家。結婚生活について悩みや心配をかかえ，ビクトリア朝的な性道徳にしばられた患者を治療するかたわら，結婚の生理学的･心理学的研究を行う。著作には《完全なる結婚――その生理と技巧の研究》《結婚生活における嫌悪》《結婚における妊娠とその望ましい影響》の三部作などがある。とりわけ，1926年刊行の《完全なる結婚》は各国語に訳され，広く読まれた。日本では30年に抄訳本が出版され発禁となるが，敗戦後の46年に公刊された全訳本（ヴァン・デ・ヴェルデ名）は，従来タブー視されていた夫婦の性生活の重要性を説いたものとして迎えられ，以後の性科学書のはしりとなった。
