向阿爾特・范・德・尼爾致敬

Dazzled by the twilight of 17th-century painter Aert van der Neer’s Moonlit Landscape with a Road beside a Canal (1645–1650), contemporary Spanish artist Alberto Reguera created twenty three paintings as an homage to the celebrated artist of the Dutch Golden Age.
This 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.
The exhibition and accompanying publication 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 ways 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, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza and the artist.
當代西班牙藝術家 Alberto Reguera 艾拔圖‧雷古拉 傾慕於十七世紀荷蘭畫家 Aert van der Neer 阿爾特‧范‧德‧尼爾 （1603–1677）名作《皓月河旁徑》，畫中黃昏月照使他迷醉不已；為了向這位荷蘭黃金時代名畫家致敬，便創作了二十三幅油畫。
雷古拉這全新油畫系列源於對《皓月河旁徑》的研究，呼應著這名作、以及與范‧德‧尼爾同時期畫家在畫法上的成就。
這次展覽及出版是香港大學美術博物館與雷古拉的第二次合作。第一次名為「藍色擴大風景」（2015），展出了他的平面和立體作品，展示了他怎樣把繪畫擴大到畫布以外的空間。「向阿爾特‧范‧德‧尼爾致敬」同樣是一個複雜的項目，由香港大學美術博物館、提森 - 博內米薩國家博物館，以及艾拔圖‧雷古拉本人三方伙伴合作促成。
