Мальчик с яблоком — это картина 21-го века британского художника Майкла Тейлора . Написанная по заказу для использования в качестве реквизита в фильме Уэса Андерсона « Гранд Будапешт» в2014 году, вымышленная предыстория, написанная для « Мальчика с Apple», сыграла главную роль в сюжете фильма.
На портрете изображен мальчик в ренессансной одежде, держащий (зажимая одной рукой и сильно сжимающий другой) зеленое яблоко. Натурщицей для портрета выступил актер Эд Манро.
История
Британский художник Майкл Тейлор написал « Мальчик с яблоком» в 2012 году для будущего фильма « Отель Гранд Будапешт» . С Тейлором связался режиссер Уэс Андерсон, который попросил создать имитацию портрета эпохи Возрождения, который бы напоминал образы из истории европейского искусства . Андерсон активно вносил свой вклад в работу; В частности, он попросил, чтобы картина была сделана по образцу работ Ганса Гольбейна Младшего и Старшего , Бронзино , Лукаса Кранаха Старшего и ряда фламандских и голландских художников.
Подобное количество деталей было уделено предыстории картины. В фильме картина приписывается вымышленному «Йоханнесу Ван Хойтлу Младшему» и описывается как произведение «чешского маньериста, габсбургского высокого ренессанса, будапештского неогуманизма». Из-за того, что картина была реквизитом для фильма , которая требовала, чтобы « Мальчика с яблоком» носил под мышкой актера, Тейлор был вынужден работать на холсте меньшего размера, чем он привык.
После выхода в свет отеля «Гранд Будапешт» картина была хорошо принята. Искусствовед Джонатан Джонс из The Guardian написал полный анализ портрета, заявив, что « Мальчик с Apple действительно бесценен, как шутка об истории искусства».

Is The Grand Budapest Hotel’s ‘Boy with Apple’ artwork plausible?
Boy with Apple in The Grand Budapest Hotel is a 21st-century, made-for-film creation.
Boy with Apple in The Grand Budapest Hotel is a 21st-century, made-for-film creation.
Boy with Apple is a quintessential product of the Czech mannerist, Habsburg high Renaissance, Budapest neo-humanist style. To put it another way, it is a finely constructed piece of nonsense in the same playful spirit as everything else in Wes Anderson’s delectable middle European fantasy, The Grand Budapest Hotel.
The plot of Anderson’s pink gateau of a movie, with its dowager duchesses, murderers and bakers, turns on the fate of a «priceless» Renaissance portrait of a youth pensively clawing an apple with long, bony fingers. It’s only a McGuffin in the end – it’s actually been painted for the film by artist Michael Taylor – but Boy with Apple is a fiction within a fiction that pays delicately knowing homage to the art history of old Europe. Pretending it is a real Renaissance masterpiece, what do we see?
The boy is short-haired and melancholic, his codpiece a sinister presence among the velvets and brocades in which he is clad. Unusually, he is seated, a pose normally reserved for women in Renaissance portraiture – standing would be more manly. In the shadows behind him a mysterious note is pinned behind a parted curtain. Are we to conclude that he is an unmanly young man, and if so, is the note from a male admirer?
Stylistically, the artist Johannes Van Hoytl the Younger, to whom this renowned and unimaginably expensive masterpiece is attributed, has much in common with other masters of the Renaissance in northern Europe. His fascination with the boy’s extravagantly crooked fingers resembles drawings by German artist Albrecht Dürer – in particular a self-portrait sketch in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, in which he displays almost precisely the same hand gesture. His revelation of an enigmatic message behind a curtain is reminiscent of similarly portentous objects in such Renaissance masterpieces as Hans Holbein the Younger’s portrait of the merchant Georg Giese surrounded with the stuff of trade, or the emblems of greed and vanity with which Quentin Metsys accuses the couple in his picture The Moneylender and His Wife. The moral emblem at the heart of Van Hoytl the Younger’s painting is of course the oldest of all Judaeo-Christian symbolic objects: the apple with which the serpent tempted Eve.

So this portrait is a study in temptation, and as such it is inflected with a sensuality typical of mannerist art. In 16th-century Europe, artists bored by the classical rules of the Renaissance portrayed the human figure in a more «mannered» way, stretching out limbs and necks, distorting poses. This youth’s long fingers are typically mannerist. So much about him – his short hair, finely clad form, those hints of depravity – echoes the mannerist genius Bronzino. It’s not hard to work out how such a painting found its way into an art collection in central Europe. The eccentric Habsburg Emperor Rudolph II, who filled his palace in Prague with curiosities, lured many Dutch and Flemish mannerists to his mad court. The Habsburgs were the greatest art patrons of the Renaissance, and the heritage they left behind is rich in masterpieces of Boy with Apple‘s ilk. This is exactly the kind of painting you can expect to see in Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Szépművészeti Múzeum in Budapest or the picture gallery of Prague Castle.
Boy with Apple really is priceless, as an art history in-joke. The punchline, however, comes when the film’s villain realises it is missing. In its place hangs a watercolour of lesbian lovers by real-life Austrian genius Egon Schiele. In his rage at losing a completely fictional work of 16th-century art, the character smashes this modern treasure over a chair.

The Boy and The Apple Tree :
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples and took a nap under the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by. The little boy had grown up and he now longer played around the tree every day.
One day the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. ‘Come and play with me», the tree asked the boy.
“I am no longer a kid. I do not play around trees any more,» the boy replied.
«I want toys. I need money to buy them.»
‘Sorry….but I do not have money, but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.»
The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
The tree was sad.
One day the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited.
‘Come and play with me’ the tree said.
“I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?’
‘Sorry…. but I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.»
‘So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted.
‘Come and play with me!’ the tree said.
I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself, can you give me a boat?’ said the man.
«Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.»
So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the man returned after many years. ‘Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you’, the tree said.
“No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite’ the man replied.
‘No more trunk for you to climb on.» ‘I am too old for that now.» The man said.
«I really cannot give yon anything, the only thing left is my dying roots,’ the tree said with tears.
“I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years,’ the man replied.
‘Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest come sit down with me and rest.’
The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.
This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with our Mum and Dad. When we grow up, we leave them… only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could just to make you happy.
You may think the boy is cruel to the tree, but that is how all of us treat our parents. We take them for granted. We don’t appreciate all they do for us, until it’s too late.
