介绍（中）	在神话中，希腊公主阿尔克梅纳同时生下了不同父亲的儿子：朱庇特所生的赫拉克勒斯和安菲特里翁所生的伊菲克勒斯。朱庇特复仇的妻子朱诺派蛇吞噬摇篮里的男孩。伊菲克勒斯惊恐的叫声惊动了赫拉克勒斯，赫拉克勒斯抓住蛇，把它们捏死。在这幅巨大的兵马俑浮雕碎片中，赫拉克勒斯，即使在婴儿时期也是英雄，他的特点是他更大的躯干和左下角的一条蛇缠斗的脚。赫拉克勒斯的头、一只胳膊和一条腿的大部分都不见了，但伊菲克勒斯几乎完整了。这件作品的风格，圆形形状排列成平面，巧妙地分级低浮雕，很大程度上归功于 1450 年代伟大的佛罗伦萨雕塑家多纳泰罗在帕多瓦的存在。根据其与帕多瓦圣安东尼奥教堂的青铜天使板的相似性，该作品归功于安东尼奥·迪·切利诺（Antonio di Chelino），他是多纳泰罗为教堂高坛（称为Santo）雕塑的助手。但无论有没有署名，这都是一部高度同情和丰富的捐赠式作品，其罕见的世俗主题无疑吸引了保达的人文主义文化。
介绍（英）	In myth, the Greek princess Alcmena gave birth simultaneously to sons by different fathers: Hercules, sired by Jupiter, and Iphicles, begotten of Amphitryon. Jupiter's vengeful wife Juno sent serpents to devour the boys in their cradle. Iphicles' cries of fright alerted Hercules, who grabbed the serpents and squeezed them to death. In this sizable fragment of a terracotta relief, Hercules, a hero even in babyhood, is distinguished by his larger torso and his foot grappling with a single snake at the bottom left. Hercules' head, an arm, and most of one leg are missing, but Iphicles is nearly complete. The style of this piece, with rounded shapes arranged as planes in subtly graded low relief, owes much to the presence in Padua of the great Florentine sculptor Donatello in the 1450s. On the basis of its similarity to the bronze panels of angels in the church of Sant'Antonio in Padua, the work has been attributed to Antonio di Chelino, who was an assistant on Donatello's sculptures for the high altar of the church, known as the Santo. But with or without an attribution, this is a highly sympathetic and plenteously Donatelesque work whose rare secular subject no doubt appealed to Pauda's Humanist culture.
