解讀聖薩萬教堂拱頂壁畫

Study of the Romanesque Mural Paintings of the Abbey Church of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe Resume

卡東波河畔的聖薩萬教堂于1983年被聯合國教科文組織評選為世界文化遺產，主要因為該教堂保存了法國境內面積最大的中世紀壁畫。隨著時間，壁畫受到光線、空氣中的溼氣等的侵襲，部份的壁畫已不復存在，長此以往，消失的部份會越來越多。對該壁畫內容投入研究，是一項迫切的工作。筆者曾在碩士期間研究該壁畫的造型美學，分析其動感源由。本研究將針對壁畫內容進行研究。教堂拱頂分南北兩邊，各有上下兩長條平面空間，所以空間繪滿了取自《創世紀》及《出谷紀》的聖經故事。可是這四條空間卻畫了五段不同的故事。空間的分配、考量為何？本文將先針對教堂拱頂現存的壁畫進行解讀。之後，將特別針對壁畫缺失的部份提出研究探討，試圖還原壁畫的完整性，以求了解壁畫的整體意義。

The Abbey Church of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe is classified as the UNESCO world heritage. The main reason is because of its Romanesque mural paintings. Most of the paintings are preserved; nevertheless, some have been destroyed by light and humidity as years have gone past. So it's urgent to study the whole program of the paintings. For the master's degree, I studied the aesthetics of the movement of the mural painting, and this study will be conducted on the content of murals. This research will examine the program on the vaulted ceiling of the nave. The vaulted ceiling is separated by north and south sides, each has two bands. But the four bands receive five stories of the Old Testament. How were they distributed? What is the reason for this distribution? We'd be interested in knowing more about the missing part, and we'll try to find out the lost episode and understand the whole painting program.
