位于英国首都伦敦市内的萨伏伊饭店最近为艺术爱好者们提供了一个颇为难得的实践机会:他们可以在法国印象派画家莫奈曾经住过的房间里模仿其画画。莫奈当年在这间房间里创作了以泰晤士河沿岸天际线为表现内容的多幅画作。

据路透社3月24日报道,莫奈在此曾完成了70幅油画。按照规定,一对夫妇需要花费2600英镑(4500美元)才可以在该房间内住上两晚,他们还会得到一个画架以及各种油画颜料,一位美术教师将会专门指导他们如何重新描绘出那位法国画家的著名作品。"这位教师还将带着房客去位于伦敦市内的英国国家美术馆亲自观摩莫奈的画作,并指出哪些地方需留心观察。这就像一次以绘画为主题的短暂假期",萨伏伊饭店的一位女发言人表示。

萨伏伊饭店与艺术结缘的传统最早可追溯到19世纪80年代。当时饭店正在修建中,美国画家J.M.惠斯勒专门创作了一幅反映饭店外的脚手架的画作。后来莫奈也以顾客的身份住进了这家饭店,同样有此经历的著名艺术家还包括O.考考斯卡以及A.沃霍尔。

A London hotel is offering art fans a chance to emulate Impressionist Claude Monet in the room where he painted his classic studies of the Thames skyline.

For 2,600 pounds ($4,500), a couple can stay two nights in the Savoy Hotel room where Monet painted 70 canvases.

For that price, they also get an easel, paints and the advice of an arts teacher on how to reproduce the French painter's famous works.

"The teacher will also take you round London's National Gallery to see the Monet paintings there and point out what to look for. It is a mini-painting holiday," said a Savoy spokeswoman.

The Savoy's artistic tradition was started by James McNeill Whistler who painted a picture of the scaffolding when the hotel was being built in the 1880s.

Monet followed him as a guest, as did fellow artists Oskar Kokoschka and Andy Warhol.
