弗雷德里克·莱顿（Frederic Leighton）古典艺术绘画，优雅美丽！

       王国维曾肯定地说，哲学和艺术是“天下最神圣、最尊贵而无与当世之用者”，“愿今后之哲学美术家，毋忘其天职，而失其独立之位置”。也有人说“艺术远没有生活重要，但是没有艺术，生活就会有些贫乏了”。探索奇妙的艺术世界，就是一个发现美、欣赏美、享受美、感悟美的过程，她能洗涤人的内心，净化人的灵魂。

        对于艺术家来说，艺术创作的过程是艰辛的，正如美国画家惠斯勒所说“艺术可遇不可求--它不会因为你是平民而对你视若无睹，也不会因为你是王公而对你青眼有加。天时未到，即使是最睿智的人也不能使艺术品诞生。”对此我国艺术大家齐白石也曾说“作画妙在似与不似之间，太似为媚俗，不似为欺世。学我者生，似我者死”。

洛德·莱顿（Frederic Leighton，1830-1896年），是英国十九世纪唯美主义画派最著名的画家，最有声望的学院派画家，在英国绘画史上享誉极高。他辉煌的艺术光芒甚至冲淡了雷诺兹的影响，成了英国皇家学院派的代名词。不像19世纪大部分画家那样，莱顿并没有在皇家艺术学院学习，他在布鲁塞尔、巴黎、法兰克福接受绘画训练，1852年他搬到罗马居住，古典艺术给了他很大影响。

1855年，他回到英国，他的作品Cimabue's Madonna展出并被维多利亚女王购买，这是他事业的转折。1878年，莱顿当选为（英国）皇家艺术学院院长。1896年受封为男爵。他是英国唯一获此殊荣的画家。他于同年去世。

这是一幅富于情节性的肖像画，一少女盘腿坐于地摊上，认真、专心地在阅读画册。女孩身着的浅黄色衣裙极富质感，与深色的背景形成对比，更衬托出女孩的专注神情。女孩面容娇好，纯洁严肃，显示出较好的教养。整个画面体现出一种学院派的严谨与优雅。

Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) is the most famous painter and the most prestigious academic painter of British aestheticism painting school in the 19th century. He enjoys a high reputation in the history of British painting. His brilliant artistic light even diluted Reynolds' influence and became synonymous with the Royal College School. Unlike most painters in the 19th century, Leighton did not study at the Royal Academy of art. He received painting training in Brussels, Paris and Frankfurt. In 1852, he moved to Rome, and classical art had a great influence on him.

In 1855, he returned to England. His work Cimabue's Madonna was exhibited and purchased by Queen Victoria, which was a turning point in his career. In 1878, Leighton was elected president of the Royal Academy of art. He was knighted in 1896. He is the only painter in Britain to win this award. He died in the same year.

This is a portrait full of plot. A young girl sits cross legged on the stall and reads the album carefully and attentively. The girl's light yellow dress is very textured, which contrasts with the dark background and sets off the girl's focus. The girl's face is charming, pure and serious, showing a better upbringing. The whole picture reflects a kind of academic preciseness and elegance.
