Albert Anker broke with the old tradition to become a veterinarian and studied to be a painter at Paris. He lived from 1831-1910 and is one of the best known painters of Switzerland. His work consists of rough outlines, drawings, watercolours and numerous oil paintings (more than 800) in all fields of painting. In particularAlbert Anker gained great esteem with his numerous portraits and interpretations of the rural daily life (genre painting). Rarely pictorial representations of animals are to be found on his paintings in opposite to people. Especially these animals don't feature the fidelity of the details which is so typically for Albert Anker. Three examples demonstrate this lack and in what it consist of. An attempt will be made to explain the cause of this phenomenon.
阿尔伯特·安克打破旧传统成为一名兽医,之后前往巴黎学习绘画。他生活于1831年至1910年,是瑞士最著名的画家之一。他的作品包括草图、素描、水彩画以及众多油画(超过800幅),涵盖绘画的各个领域。特别是,阿尔伯特·安克凭借他众多的肖像画和对乡村日常生活的描绘(风俗画)赢得了极高的声誉。与人物相反,在他的画作中很少能找到动物的形象。尤其是这些动物缺乏阿尔伯特·安克画作中典型的细节逼真度。三个例子展示了这种缺失及其具体表现。本文将尝试解释这一现象的原因。
