Introduction
Dazzled by the twilight of seventeenth-century painter Aert van der Neer’s Moonlit Landscape with a Road beside a Canal (1645–50), contemporary Spanish artist Alberto Reguera created twenty-three paintings as an homage to the celebrated artist of the Dutch Golden Age. Each of Reguera’s paintings display an in-depth study of the representation of light and sky in the European tradition, while engaging in a dialogue with Van der Neer’s Moonlit Landscape.
導言
西班牙當代藝術家艾拔圖・雷古拉為名作《皓月河旁徑》（1645–50年）所描繪之暮色而著迷。此作品由十七世紀荷蘭黃金時代畫家阿爾特・范・德・尼爾（1603–77年）所繪。為了向這位名家致敬，雷古拉繪畫了二十三幅全新畫作，每幅皆展現出這位藝術家對歐洲繪畫傳統所描繪之光線以及對天空的深度研究，從而跨越時空，與范・德・尼爾的《皓月河旁徑》對話。

The works of Aert van der Neer (1603–77) exemplify the naturalistic renderings that are seen as being one of the hallmarks of Dutch painting. Dating to the most productive period of the artist’s life (1640–60), aspects of the scene are typical for Van der Neer and his contemporaries, while the artist’s specific manipulation of twilight seeping through the clouds sets the work apart from other painters of his era.
The sensitive depiction of light in the night sky most inspired Alberto Reguera, in part because of the similarities to his own work. Reguera’s new series of paintings examines and connects directly to Van der Neer’s masterpiece, and the important painterly achievements of the Dutch painter’s generation.
While the Golden Age landscapes have been widely discussed and imitated over the past three centuries, it is Reguera’s particularly intense form of study and thoughtful application of style that has culminated in these highly personal works. Reguera’s own depictions of the sky—both day and night—inevitably differ from the Dutch master, as Reguera incorporates his own sensibilities and experiences.
阿爾特・范・德・尼爾（1603–77年）畫作所呈現的自然主義畫風，被視為荷蘭繪畫的重要標誌之一。在范・德・尼爾創作的全盛時期（1640–60年），這些自然景致是他及其同時代畫家常用的典型題材。而他的作品之所以與眾不同，是由於他對黄昏月色穿透雲層的細膩處理手法。
《皓月河旁徑》格外喚起雷古拉的創作靈感，是因為此作裏夜空中光線的細膩捕捉與自己的作品相仿。雷古拉的新作源於對此名畫的研究，以及呼應與范・德・尼爾同時期畫家在繪畫上所取得的矚目成果。
儘管在過去三個世紀，黄金時代的風景畫受到廣泛的討論及模仿，雷古拉對藝術的琢磨及深思熟慮的筆觸造詣，成就出這些甚具個人風格的精品。有異於其他荷蘭繪畫大師，他所演繹的晝夜天色，均融合個人的感悟和經驗。

The exhibition is the second collaboration between the University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) and Alberto Reguera. While the first exhibition Blue Expansive Landscape (2015) was notable for the display of the painter’s two- and three-dimensional works, and his innovative way of painting beyond the canvas, Homage to Aert van der Neer is a similarly complex endeavour that has been achieved through a successful partnership with UMAG, Alberto Reguera and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. We thank the director and colleagues from the Museo Nacional for this international cooperation and express our gratitude to the Hong Kong University Museum Society for its financial support.
這次展覽是香港大學（港大）美術博物館與雷古拉的第二次合作，首次展覽名為「悠藍青境」（2015年），展出了平面和立體作品，呈現藝術家令畫作延伸至畫布以外的空間。「向阿爾特・范・德・尼爾致敬」展覧與上次展覽同樣豊富，由香港大學美術博物館、雷古拉及提森-博内米薩國家博物館三方合作促成。本館特別感謝提森-博内米薩國家博物館總監及同工，以及艾拔圖・雷古拉，成就這次國際合作，並承蒙香港大學博物館學會的慷慨贊助，謹此致上衷心謝意。
