- Notes
- 1888年（明治21）、当時お雇い外国人として来日していたイタリア人エドアルド・キヨッソーネ（Edoardo Chiossone, 1833-98）によって、明治天皇の肖像画が制作された。この肖像を写真師丸木利陽が撮影したものが、御真影として一般に広く流布し、明治天皇のイメージを広めることになった。本作は、この御真影を基に制作されたものと考えられる。署名には「G.Molinari Roma 1897」とあり、後年にローマで制作されたものと考えられるが、制作の経緯を含め多くが不明である。In 1888 (Meiji 21), a portrait of Emperor Meiji was painted by Edoardo Chiossone (1833-98), an Italian who was in Japan as a hired foreigner at the time. (Edoardo Chiossone, 1833-98), an Italian who was in Japan as a hired foreigner at the time, created a portrait of the Emperor Meiji. This portrait, taken by the photographer Riyo Maruki, was widely circulated as a goshinkei (portrait of the emperor), which helped to popularize the image of the Meiji Emperor. This work is thought to have been produced based on this portrait. The signature reads "G.Molinari Roma 1897," suggesting that it was made in Rome in a later period, but much is unknown, including the circumstances of its creation.
