介绍（中）	这两个人物（1971.92.1和.2）是卡波迪蒙特工厂生产的最雄心勃勃、造型最精细的雕塑之一。这些数字的巨大规模对工厂来说也是不同寻常的，它们的成功烧制代表着巨大的技术成就。这两尊雕像是由18世纪最伟大的瓷器建模师之一朱塞佩·格里奇（1700–1770）建模的，这尊哀悼圣母是唯一一尊有格里奇签名的卡波迪蒙特雕像《哀悼圣母》和《圣约翰》因约会较早而更加引人注目。卡波迪蒙特工厂成立于1743年，文件显示《哀悼圣母》于次年生产。这两个人物的美学影响很大程度上源于他们姿势的表现力以及建模的技巧。然而，软浆瓷器本身的高超品质起着重要作用。卡波迪蒙特出产的瓷器质地细腻，半透明，光泽非凡，是所有欧洲软浆瓷器中最美丽的。
介绍（英）	These two figures (1971.92.1 and .2) are among the most ambitious and finely modeled sculptures produced at the Capodimonte factory. The large scale of the figures is also unusual for the factory, and their successful firing represents an enormous technical achievement. The two figures were modeled by Giuseppe Gricci (1700–1770), one of the greatest of all eighteenth-century porcelain modelers, and this Mourning Virgin is the only Capodimonte figure that bears Gricci's signature. The Mourning Virgin and Saint John are all the more remarkable because of their early date. The Capodimonte factory was established in 1743, and documents suggest that the Mourning Virgin was produced the following year. Much of the aesthetic impact of these two figures derives from the expressiveness of their poses as well as the skill with which they were modeled. However, the superb quality of the soft-paste porcelain itself plays an important role. Creamy, translucent, and unusually glossy, the porcelain produced at Capodimonte among the most beautiful of all European soft-paste porcelains.
