介绍（中）	在整个十八世纪，贵族赞助人和外国王子委托罗马教皇宫廷的艺术家制作华丽的礼仪银器。这个罕见的虔诚浮雕反映了晚期巴洛克风格，具有古典主义色彩，以罗马圣乔瓦尼拉特兰诺的科西尼教堂为代表。刻在框架顶部漩涡花饰上的铭文IPSA CONTERET CAPUT TUUM（她将压碎你的头[见创世记3：15]），指的是浮雕的主题，救赎和教会战胜异端的寓言。银质奖章的精妙处理，其哑光表面与绚丽的抛光亮点形成鲜明对比，框架的生动设计衬托出优势，带有大型垂直漩涡装饰的凸面柱顶让人想起弗朗切斯科·博罗米尼（Francesco Borromini，1599-1667）设定的建筑先例，就像底部的面具让人想起吉安·洛伦佐·贝尼尼著名的大理石半身像。中央奖章的串珠和扭索饰纹边框成功地合成了不同的高巴洛克式图案，这是贾尔多尼最佳作品的典型代表，他从 1731 年到 1754 年担任相机使徒的官方银匠职位，目前的作品可能最令人信服地归功于他。
介绍（英）	Throughout the eighteenth century aristocratic patrons and foreign princes commissioned sumptuous liturgical silver from the artists of the papal court in Rome. This rare devotional relief reflects the Late Baroque style with classicistic overtones epitomized by the Corsini Chapel in San Giovanni Laterano, Rome. The inscription IPSA CONTERET CAPUT TUUM (she will crush thy head [see Genesis 3:15]), engraved in the cartouche at the top of the frame, refers to the relief's subject, an allegory of Redemption and the Church's Triumph over Heresy. The exquisite handling of the silver medallion, its matte surfaces contrasted with brilliantly burnished highlights, is set off to advantage by the vibrant design of the frame, The convex entablature with a large vertical cartouche harks back to architectural precedents set by Francesco Borromini (1599–1667), just as the mask at the bottom is reminiscent of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's famous marble bust of a Blessed Soul. The successful synthesis of different High Baroque motifs held together by the beaded-and-guilloche border of the central medallion, is typical of the best work of Giardoni, who from 1731 to 1754 held the post of official silversmith of the Camera Apostolica and to whom the present work may be most convincingly attributed.
