点评:The Church of St. Louis of the French (San Luigi dei Francesi) is located at the public square by the same name around halfway between Piazza Navona and Piazza Della Rotonda where you find the Pantheon. It is open from 9.30am to 12.45pm and 2.30pm to 6.30pm daily. This is the national church for French citizens living in Rome. It was designed by Giacomo della Porta and completed in 1589 by Domenico Fontana. The facade is tiered with niches fitted with statues of French national heroes.
What most come here to see how is the ornate Baroque interior and in particular the Contarelli Chapel which contains three masterpiece cycle by Caravaggio known as the Life of St. Matthew (1599-1600). These are the world famous 'The Calling', 'The Inspiration' and The Martydom' of St. Matthew. Expect a small crowd of art lovers and curious other tourists most of the time at this particular chapel. There is a coin operating machine which is fairly regularly fed by tourists wishing to illuminate the masterpieces so that nice pictures can be taken.
Beyond the Caravaggio paintings, the works in other chapels are heavily decorated and fairly nice to view as well. The nave itself is adorned with ornamentation, lots of gilding and a good ceiling fresco. These may be overlooked because of the heavy focus on the Contarelli Chapel but are worth a few minutes of your time as well.
翻译:法国圣路易斯教堂 (San Luigi dei Francesi) 位于同名公共广场,位于纳沃纳广场和罗通达广场中间,万神殿就位于广场上。教堂每天开放时间为上午 9:30 至下午 12:45 和下午 2:30 至下午 6:30。这是居住在罗马的法国公民的国家教堂。教堂由 Giacomo della Porta 设计,1589 年由 Domenico Fontana 完成。教堂外墙分层排列,壁龛中安放着法国民族英雄的雕像。
大多数人来这里是为了欣赏华丽的巴洛克风格内饰,尤其是 Contarelli 教堂,里面有卡拉瓦乔的三幅杰作,被称为《圣马太传》(1599-1600 年)。它们是举世闻名的《圣马太的召唤》、《圣马太的启示》和《圣马太的殉难》。这座教堂大部分时间都会聚集一小群艺术爱好者和其他好奇的游客。这里有一台投币机,游客们经常会投币,希望照亮这些杰作,以便拍出漂亮的照片。
除了卡拉瓦乔的画作外,其他教堂的作品装饰精美,也相当好看。教堂中殿本身装饰精美,有大量镀金,天花板壁画也很漂亮。由于重点放在了康塔雷利教堂,这些可能会被忽略,但也值得您花几分钟时间去欣赏。
