French painter and writer. Born in La Rochelle, he went to Paris to study law and painting. He traveled to Algeria, where he was fortunate to become famous as a painter of Oriental landscapes, and made a living by painting. However, Fromentin's reputation as a painter declined rapidly after his death. However, as the author of the confessional novel "Dominique" (1863), Fromentin still retains his unique value and fascination. This work is a love story in which almost nothing happens, and is similar to the novels of Hori Tatsuo, for example, but it contains sharp semiotics and an attempt to transform music into a novel, giving it depth. Another feature is the calm and precise depiction of the French people's affection for pastoral poetry. Fromentin also wrote "Old Masters" (1876), which discusses Van Eyck, Memling, Rubens, Rembrandt, and others, based on his diary from a trip to Belgium and the Netherlands in 1875. This is the most excellent guide to how to look at paintings.

フランスの画家、作家。ラ・ロシェルに生まれる。パリに出て法律と絵を学ぶ。アルジェリアに旅行、当時の東方趣味の流行が幸いしてオリエント風景画家として盛名を馳(は)せ、絵筆によって生計をたてたが、画家フロマンタンの声価は、死後、急速に低落した。だが、告白体の小説『ドミニック』(1863)の作者として、フロマンタンはいまも独自の価値と魅惑を失っていない。この作品は、ほとんど事の起こらぬ恋愛小説という点では、たとえば堀辰雄(たつお)の小説に近いところがあるが、編中には鋭い記号論を含み、音楽の小説的転位という試みがみられ、奥行が深い。フランス人の田園詩情に寄せる愛着が冷静緻密(ちみつ)に描かれているのも特徴である。別にフロマンタンには、1875年のベルギー、オランダ旅行中の日記に基づいてファン・アイク、メムリンク、ルーベンス、レンブラントらを論じた『昔の巨匠たち』(1876)がある。これは、絵画の見方のもっとも優れた指南書である。 [杉本秀太郎] 『杉本秀太郎著『小説の音楽』(『文学演技』所収・1977・筑摩書房)』 [参照項目] |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 |
