介绍（中）	这个迷人的、刚刚低于真人大小的海妖形象，伪装成一个戴着皇冠的美丽裸体女人——她的头发散开在肩膀上，双手抓着两条鱼尾——立即唤起了科隆纳家族的标志性海妖形象，科隆纳家族是中世纪和文艺复兴时期罗马最强大的两个封建氏族之一。鉴于其尺寸很大，这件青铜雕像最初可能是为罗马的科隆纳宫制作的。在十七世纪，它可能是由塔迪奥·巴贝里尼的妻子安娜·科隆纳继承的。如果是这样的话，这个人物可能是1644年在巴贝里尼宫清点的"头上戴着王冠的青铜警笛"。这个警笛是一个诗意的神话生物，灵感来自古代雕像，通过她精湛的建模的自然主义传达出惊人的活力。她开放形式的和谐轮廓和她丰富、湿润、蓬乱的头发的处理让人想起罗马著名的Fontana delle Tartarughe的四个青铜青年的节奏姿势和细节，该青铜青年由佛罗伦萨Taddeo Landini于1585年创建。作为当时最有天赋的雕塑家之一，他很可能是这个非凡人物的作者。
介绍（英）	This bewitching, just-under-lifesize figure of a siren in the guise of a beautiful nude woman wearing a crown-her hair spread over her shoulders and her hands grasping twin fish tails-immediately evokes the image of the emblematic siren of the Colonna family, one of the two most powerful feudal clans in medieval and Renaissance Rome. Given its large size, this bronze example may originally have been made for the Colonna Palace in Rome. In the seventeenth century it was probably inherited by Anna Colonna, wife of Taddeo Barberini. If this is the case, the figure may be the "siren of bronze with a crown on her head" inventoried in 1644 in the Barberini Palace. A poetic, mythical creature inspired by ancient statuary, this siren conveys a striking vitality through the naturalism of her masterful modeling. The harmonious profile of her open forms and the treatment of her abundant, wet, tousled hair recall the rhythmical poses and details of the four bronze youths of Rome's renowned Fontana delle Tartarughe, created in 1585 by the Florentine Taddeo Landini. One of the most gifted sculptors of the day, he may well be the author of this extraordinary figure.
