介绍（中）	这幅高浮雕由一块柔软的石灰木雕刻而成，其大胆的底切是法国雕塑家奥伯特·帕里特（Aubert Parent）以其著名的艺术大师作品的一个极好的例子。父母的静物画让人想起了17世纪的荷兰花卉画，当时和现在一样，它们的写实、精致，以及栖息在其中的鸟类和其他小动物的非凡活泼，都让人赞叹不已。下面的铭文是AUBERT PARENT。马术比赛。罗马1784年——表明这幅作品是1784年在罗马创作的，这一年，这位艺术家在皇家津贴的支持下前往意大利父母在那里掌握的经典词汇反映在装满郁金香、玫瑰、丁香、山谷百合和其他芳香花朵的瓮的形状和装饰上。一个藏着林雀窝的葡萄藤围绕着基地，当一只鸟给雏鸟喂食时，它的配偶会带来额外的食物。这位艺术家对母爱和家庭生活象征的偏爱体现在筑巢的小鸟和一位带着孩子的妇女（其中一位是哺乳期婴儿）底座上的低浮雕上。1762年，让-雅克·卢梭的哲学论著《Émile》使这些主题成为时尚，该书颂扬了养育自己孩子的益处。花瓶的主体适当地装饰着天神朱庇特的胡须面具，朱庇特也被称为家庭生活的保护者。
介绍（英）	Carved of a single piece of soft lime wood, this high relief with its daring undercutting is an excellent example of the virtuoso work for which the French sculptor Aubert Parent was justly known. Reminiscent of Dutch seventeenth-century flower paintings, Parent’s still lifes then as now drew admiration for their realism, delicacy, and the remarkable liveliness of the birds and other small creatures that inhabit them. The inscription below — AUBERT PARENT. EQUES RO. INV. SCULP. ROMA AN. 1784 — indicates that this panel was created in Rome in 1784, the year that the artist, supported by a royal stipend, traveled to Italy. The classical vocabulary that Parent mastered there is reflected in the shape and decoration of the urn filled with tulips, roses, lilacs, liliesof-the-valley, and other sweet-scented blooms. A grapevine harboring a linnet’s nest surrounds the base, and while one bird feeds the fledglings its mate brings additional food. The artist’s predilection for symbols of motherly love and domestic life is reflected in the nesting birds and in the low relief on the plinth of a woman with her offspring, one of them a suckling infant. These themes had been made fashionable by Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s philosophical treatise Émile, of 1762, which extols the benefits of nursing one’s own children. The body of the vase is appropriately adorned with the bearded mask of the celestial god Jupiter, also known as protector of family life.
