介绍（中）	奥斯卡·古斯塔夫·雷兰德于1853年拿起相机，因为他无法靠肖像画的收入养活自己。尽管他拍摄裸体、表情丰富的头部和其他主题供画家复制，但他也追求自己的艺术。为此，他炮制了精心制作的类型场景和道德寓言，使他声名鹊起（当品味发生变化时，臭名昭著），但他也制作了尚未过时的摄影肖像<在他伦敦的房子后面，雷兰德建造了一个不同寻常的工作室，有五扇形状奇怪、位置合理的窗户，让他可以虚拟地控制自己的照明。就像电影导演一样，雷兰德在过滤后的光线中非正式而倾斜地摆出他的保姆的姿势，让他们免受直接镜头对抗的眩光和自觉的审问。他由此获得的新鲜感和活力在这幅兄弟姐妹的画像中可见一斑，他们在炽热的炉火中凝视着自己的未来。在深情的拥抱中，穿着考究的康斯特布尔的孩子们显然就读于"同情、温柔和爱忘自我的学校"，这是理想的维多利亚家庭。
介绍（英）	Oscar Gustav Rejlander took up the camera in 1853 because he could not support himself from the proceeds of his portrait paintings. Although he photographed nudes, expressive heads, and other subjects for painters to copy, he pursued his own art as well. To that end he concocted elaborate genre scenes and moral allegories that made him famous (and when tastes shifted, infamous), but he also made photographic portraits that have yet to go out of style. Behind his London house Rejlander built an unusual studio with five oddly shaped, judiciously placed windows that gave him virtual command of his illumination. Like a film director Rejlander posed his sitters informally and obliquely in the filtered light, sparing them the glare and self-conscious interrogation of direct camera confrontation. The freshness and vivacity he thus achieved are evident in this portrait of a brother and sister, gazing as on their future in a glowing hearth. Clasped in affectionate embrace, the well-dressed Constable children had clearly attended that "school of sympathy, tenderness, and loving forgetfulness of self" which was the ideal Victorian family.
