点评:The Castle complex of museums is huge, with nine museums on site. Perhaps the best reason to go there is the Rondanini Pieta by MIchelangelo. A sculpture that he was working on for decades, that he was working on days before he died at age 88, there is scholarly debate about whether the work is finished. Whatever you decide, there are only a few places in the world -- the Accademia in Florence comes to mind -- where you can actually see a sculptor's hand and mind at work. The Pieta is not polished to a hard smooth finish. You can see the cuts made in the stone by the chisel. Not many opportunities to actually appreciate how hard sculpture really is... we see the finished, shining product and don't see the grinding effort. Here it's still visible, located in its own dedicated museum. A must see.
Make this one of your first stops in Milan. It's one of the best reasons to go to Milan. Yes, there's the Last Supper and the Duomo and the fashion. But this sculpture is nearly unique. By the best sculptor who ever lived.
翻译:城堡博物馆群规模庞大,内设九座博物馆。或许,前往那里的最佳理由是米开朗基罗的隆达尼尼圣母怜子像。这尊雕塑是他耗时数十年精心雕琢的,在他88岁去世前几天仍在创作中。学术界对其是否完成存在争议。无论您作何评价,世界上只有少数几个地方——佛罗伦萨学院——能让您真正看到雕塑家的手工和构思。圣母怜子像并非打磨得光滑坚硬,而是用凿子在石头上留下的痕迹。真正欣赏雕塑的坚硬程度的机会并不多……我们看到的是成品的闪亮,却看不到打磨的痕迹。如今,它依然可见,坐落在专门的博物馆里。不容错过。
不妨将这里作为您米兰之旅的首站之一。这也是前往米兰的最佳理由之一。没错,这里有《最后的晚餐》、大教堂和时尚。但这尊雕塑几乎是独一无二的。由有史以来最优秀的雕塑家创作。
