点评:There is a lot to see at the Belvedere Museum and, regretfully, I under-allocated my time. I purchased the combined Upper and Lower ticket for 29.90€. They also offered an audio guide rental for 5€, but I did not have the time to stand around and listen to the commentary, so I passed.
I started at the Upper Belvedere, which has great works by Lucas Cranach, Egon Schiele, Edvard Munch, Alexej von Jawlensky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Claude Monet, and Gustav Klimt. The have, of course, Klimt's most famous piece called "The Kiss," which was almost impossible to get a close look at. The room was consistently packed, so that was a bit of a disappointment, but it was much easier to enjoy some of his other works. The well-known painting of Napoleon by Jacques Louis David was also on display and very popular with the crowds.
I didn't have much time to enjoy the gardens, fountains, and pools on the way to the Lower Belvedere, but it was early Spring, so there wasn't much in bloom anyway. Some of the pools were still empty.
The Lower Belvedere had a nice exhibition of Slovenian paintings and some amazingly restored palace rooms. They also had an interesting special exhibit about the use of technology in art. One part dealt with analyzing the inner layers of Klimt's "The Kiss" in an attempt to understand more about his working process. Another part attempted to reconstruct the original colors of Klimt's lost ceiling paintings in the University of Vienna that were destroyed in World War II. All that is left of them are some black and white photos. So it was really astonishing to see the full color reproductions on display.
I recommend spending at least half a day here. If you are an art lover and want to read (or listen to) all of the commentary, you can easily make a full day of it.
翻译:美景宫博物馆有很多值得参观的地方,可惜我的时间分配不足。我买了上下两层的联票,票价29.90欧元。他们还提供5欧元的语音导览租赁服务,但我没时间站在那里听解说,所以就放弃了。
我从美景宫上层开始参观,那里收藏了卢卡斯·克拉纳赫、埃贡·席勒、爱德华·蒙克、阿列克谢·冯·亚伦斯基、恩斯特·路德维希·基希纳、克劳德·莫奈和古斯塔夫·克里姆特的杰作。当然,还有克里姆特最著名的作品《吻》,几乎不可能近距离欣赏。展厅里总是挤满了人,这多少让我有些失望,但欣赏他的其他作品就容易多了。雅克·路易·大卫的著名画作《拿破仑》也在展出,非常受欢迎。
在前往下美景宫的路上,我没有太多时间欣赏花园、喷泉和水池,但当时正值初春,花开得并不多。有些水池仍然空无一人。
下美景宫举办了一场精彩的斯洛文尼亚绘画展,以及一些修复得令人惊叹的宫殿房间。此外,还有一个关于科技在艺术中运用的特别展览,颇具趣味。其中一部分展览分析了克里姆特《吻》的内层结构,试图进一步了解他的创作过程。另一部分则试图重建克里姆特在维也纳大学丢失的天花板画的原始色彩,这些画作在二战中被毁。如今,这些画作只剩下一些黑白照片。因此,看到展出的全彩复制品确实令人惊叹。
我建议至少在这里待上半天。如果你是一位艺术爱好者,并且想阅读(或聆听)所有的解说,那么你可以轻松地在这里待上一整天。
