介绍（中）	学术、诙谐、深受爱戴的教皇本笃十四世（出生于普罗斯佩罗·洛伦佐·兰贝蒂尼；1740-58年在位）是艺术的伟大赞助人，60多岁时就出现在这里。奖牌中最好的比较是在他执政初期，当时他长着下巴，鼻子开始更明显地突出。[1] 这尊小型半身像结合了两个关键特征。第一个是充满活力的绘画表面，更多地与晚期巴洛克风格联系在一起，而不是本尼迪克特教皇任期内流行的萌芽的新古典主义。它给法衣带来了相当大的兴奋。第二个是它的轻量铸件，没有从蜡中重新加工，制造过程中很耐用。[2] 较大的浇口在背面完好无损，但边缘被锯掉；如果半身像占据了一个利基市场，它们就会被忽视。一个合理的场景可能是，一位有成就的雕塑家只是想以廉价的"遗迹"铸件的形式保存他那潇洒的作品本尼迪克特的肖像通常质量很高，尤其是彼得罗·布拉奇的大理石半身像和皮埃尔·苏布利拉斯的画作，大都会博物馆通过他们获得了一个引人入胜的半身像长度的油画研究，捕捉到了教皇的正直和他的友善（图155a），这些特征显然也受到了我们大师的珍视 -JDD 脚注。《1977年教皇勋章》，编号451（1740） 2.这种合金是用相对清洁的火炼铜制成的黄铜铸造而成的。廉价的合金和缺乏表面光洁度可能表明其年代最晚可以追溯到19世纪甚至20世纪初。R.Stone/TR，2010年11月5日。
介绍（英）	The scholarly, witty, and beloved Pope Benedict XIV (born Prospero Lorenzo Lambertini; r. 1740–58), a great patron of the arts, is shown here in his mid-sixties. The best comparisons in medals are from early in his reign, before he became jowly and his nose began to protrude more noticeably.[1] This miniature bust unites two key traits. The first is a vibrant, painterly surface associated more with the late Baroque than the budding Neoclassicism prevalent in Benedict’s pontificate. It lends considerable excitement to the vestments. The second is its lightweight casting, un-reworked from the wax and hardy in facture.[2] Largish sprues were left intact in back but sawn off around the edges; they would have been unseen if the bust occupied a niche. A sensible scenario may be that a sculptor of merit simply wanted to preserve his dashing composition in the form of an inexpensive “relict” cast. Portraits of Benedict are generally of high quality, notably the marble busts of Pietro Bracci and the paintings of Pierre Subleyras, by whom The Met acquired a ravishing bust-length study in oil that captures both the pope’s integrity and his bonhomie (fig. 155a), characteristics evidently prized by our master as well. -JDD Footnotes (For key to shortened references see bibliography in Allen, Italian Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. NY: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2022.) 1. Papal Medals 1977, no. 451 (1740). 2. The alloy is well cast in brass made from relatively clean, fire-refined copper. The inexpensive alloy and lack of surface finish could suggest a date as late as the nineteenth or even the early twentieth century. R. Stone/TR, November 5, 2010.
