作品介绍
机器翻译：
《仲夏之舞》是瑞典艺术家安德斯·佐恩于1897年创作的一幅布面油画。这幅画有三个版本；最著名的一个版本在斯德哥尔摩国家博物馆展出。另一个版本是在同一时期画的，现在在莫斯科的普希金博物馆展出。第三个版本是一个美国收藏家在1903年委托的，画幅较小（117.5 x 90），属于私人所有。
这幅画描绘了瑞典达拉纳省的一个传统仲夏节庆祝活动。在右边的背景中，有一根五朔节花柱，顶部有一面瑞典国旗。舞者们都穿着民俗服装。在有红色屋檐的房子里，第一道晨光映入眼帘。
所描绘的村庄，即莫拉外的莫卡尔比，离佐恩自己的出生地不远。在国外生活了几年后，佐恩和他的妻子艾玛于1896年搬回了达拉纳。在接下来的几年里，他为保护当地的民间音乐做出了巨大努力。由于19世纪中期以来出现的宗教复兴，传统的仲夏节庆祝活动在达拉纳已经减少了。为了抵制这种情况，佐恩每年都向莫卡尔比捐赠一根五月柱。
在他的自传笔记中，佐恩写到了这幅画的想法是如何诞生的。“这幅作品是在6月和7月部分时间的日落之后画的，我很高兴能完成它。我当时刚给莫卡尔比送了一根新的五月柱。每年仲夏，它都被漆成红色，我意识到并仍然意识到，我有庄严的责任出席并领导上述杆子的穿戴。我的农夫，亲爱的弗纳，负责在仲夏夜的午夜时分升起五朔节灯柱。一旦竖起来，就会奏起卷轴，人们手拉手围着五朔节花柱和院子跳起无尽的年轻人的蛇形舞。然后在其中一个院子里跳舞，直到天亮。这就是我的画所描绘的情景。”
原文：
Midsummer Dance is an oil on canvas painting by the Swedish artist Anders Zorn from 1897. There are three versions of the painting; the most famous one is exhibited at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. Another version, painted at the same time, is now exhibited at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. A third version, commissioned by an American collector in 1903, is in a smaller format (117.5 x 90) and in private ownership.
The Painting depicts a traditional Swedish Midsummer celebration in the Province of Dalarna. In the background to the right there is a maypole with a Swedish flag at the top. The dancers are all wearing Folk costumes. In the House with a red gable the first morning light is reflected.
The depicted village, Morkarlby outside Mora, is not far from Zorn’s own birth place. After living abroad for several years, Zorn and his wife Emma moved back to Dalarna in 1896. In the following years he made great efforts to preserve the local folk music. The traditional Midsummer celebration had diminished in the Dalarna because of the religious revival that has emerged since the mid-19th century. To counteract this, Zorn annually donated a Maypole to Morkarlby.
In his autobiographical notes, Zorn writes about how the idea for the painting was born: “This work was painted in June and part of July after sunset and I am pleased to have done it. I had just given Morkarlby a new maypole. It was painted red every Midsummer and I realised and still realise that it is my solemn duty to be present and to lead the dressing of said pole. My farmhand, dear Verner, was in charge of raising the maypole on the stroke of midnight on Midsummer night. Once it was up, a reel was played and people danced hand-in-hand around the maypole and the yards in an endless snake of youngsters. Then there was dancing in one of the yards until sunrise. This is what my painting portrays.” （维基百科）
