介绍（中）	这些烛台可能是为教堂祭坛制作的。1917年，两人在J·皮尔庞特·摩根的捐赠下进入大都会博物馆，但似乎从未出现过。它们之前的年代是18世纪，但风格和材料指向更早的日期，可能是17世纪的第二个十年。岩石水晶和镀金青铜的结合在中世纪早期的意大利金属宗教物品生产中很常见。在这里，华丽的水晶和小天使，他们的头发上装饰着小花，让人想起了Stefano Maderno和他的工作室的装饰作品。马德尔诺是十七世纪初罗马一位杰出的雕塑家和天才的金属工人。[1] 这些烛台本可以在1610年代左右活跃的众多金匠商店中的一家进行设计和铸造，当时圣玛利亚马焦雷大教堂西斯廷礼拜堂的纪念性ciborium和特拉斯特维雷的圣塞西莉亚高坛竣工，许多雕塑家和金匠在马德诺的监督下共同制作了奢华的装饰 -PD‘A 脚注。Stefano Maderno，见Dickerson 2008和Arnaboldi 2008。
介绍（英）	These candlesticks were probably made for a church altar. The pair entered The Met with the donation of J. Pierpont Morgan in 1917 but seem never to have been on view. They were previously dated to the eighteenth century, however the style and materials point to an earlier date, possibly the second decade of the seventeenth century. The combination of rock crystal and gilt bronze was common in Italian production of metal religious objects in the early seicento. Here, the ornate rock crystal and the cherubs, their hair adorned with small flowers, recall the decorative output of Stefano Maderno and his workshop. Maderno was a prominent sculptor and gifted metalworker in Rome at the beginning of the seventeenth century.[1] The candlesticks could have been designed and then cast in one of the numerous goldsmiths’ shops active around the 1610s, after the completion of the monumental ciborium in the Sistine Chapel in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the high altar of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, where many sculptors and goldsmiths jointly produced lavish decorations under Maderno’s supervision. -PD’A Footnotes (For key to shortened references see bibliography in Allen, Italian Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes in The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
