ICONOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF AQUAMANILE IN THE FORM OF ARISTOTLE AND CAMPASPE FROM THE STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM
View through CrossRef
В коллекции Государственного Эрмитажа находится водолей в виде женской фигуры, оседлавшей мужчину. Трактовка этого сюжета неоднозначна: ряд исследователей видит в нем средневековую легенду об Аристотеле и Кампаспе, другие интерпретируют как изображение рыцаря верхом на кентавре. В статье рассмотрены обе теории и приведены иконографические аналогии, на основе которых сделан вывод, что водолей воплощает сцену из легенды о философе.
In the collection of The state hermitage museum there is an aquamanile in the form of a female figure straddling a man. The interpretation of this plot is ambiguous: a number of researchers see it as a medieval legend about Aristotle and Campaspe, others interpret it as an image of a knight riding a centaur. The article discusses both theories and provides iconographic analogies, based on which it is concluded that aquamanile refl ects exactly the scene from the legend of the philosopher.
