介绍（中）	虽然动物世界的原始能量是浪漫主义时期法国艺术家最喜欢的主题之一，但Barye的动物雕塑对自然的细致观察在很大程度上归功于18世纪自然科学研究的进步。本世纪末，巴黎自然历史博物馆成立了一个比较解剖学橱柜。Barye在那里进行动物研究，也在植物园动物园的活动物中进行研究，有时他会在朋友Delacroix的陪伴下，在那里写生和建模然而，Barye的动物绝不仅仅是科学插图。除了表面上的真实感之外，基于对动物解剖学的深入了解，对内部结构有着准确无误的感觉。这一点在骨骼和肌腱的详细图纸以及他构建并用于辅助构图的可移动骨骼模型中都很明显。罗丹在19世纪60年代曾与巴耶进行过短暂而非正式的学习，后来他观察到巴耶的工作方法是由内而外的。"我从头开始做模特，"Barye告诉他。最重要的是，在Barye最小的雕塑中，有着生动的生命。
介绍（英）	While the primal energy of the animal world was one of the favorite subjects of French artists of the Romantic period, the meticulous observation of nature evident in Barye’s animal sculpture owed much to advances in the study of the natural sciences made during the eighteenth century. Toward the end of the century, a cabinet of comparative anatomy was established at the Muséum d’histoire naturelle in Paris. Barye pursued his animal studies there, as well as among the live animals in the menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes, where he went to sketch and model from life, sometimes in the company of his friend Delacroix. Barye’s animals, however, are never merely scientific illustrations. Beyond their surface realism, there is an unerring sense of the inner structure based on thorough knowledge of animal anatomy. This is evident in the detailed drawings of bone and sinew and in the moveable skeletal models that he constructed and used in aids to composition. Rodin, who in the 1860s studied briefly and informally with Barye, later observed that Barye’s working method was from the inside out. “I model from the bone up,” Barye told him. Above all, there is the vividness of life in the smallest of Barye’s sculptures.
