介绍（中）	尽管普桑的大部分职业生涯都在罗马度过，但他被认为是当今最伟大的法国艺术家，他的作品受到了有影响力的法国收藏家的追捧。这项闪闪发光的研究可能与为法国国务大臣红衣主教黎塞留（Cardinal Richelieu）所作的《潘的凯旋》（伦敦国家美术馆）以及描绘巴克斯凯旋的吊坠（堪萨斯城纳尔逊·阿特金斯艺术博物馆）有关。虽然完成的画作描绘了一个感官放纵的场景，但绘制的研究揭示了Poussin的大脑构图过程，在这一过程中，各个人物被视为基于古典美理想的紧密结合的构图的正式元素。在这里，广阔的抽象区域被用来探索复杂的人物群的体积和空间关系，可以在绘画的左侧以相反的方向看到。至少还有四项关于这幅画的研究在英国温莎城堡（Windsor Castle）和法国巴约讷（Bayonne）幸存了两项，这表明普桑精心准备了这项重要任务。
介绍（英）	Although he spent most of his career in Rome, Poussin was considered the greatest living French artist, and his work was avidly sought by influential French collectors. This sparkling study can be related to the Triumph of Pan (National Gallery, London) executed for Cardinal Richelieu, the French minister of state, along with a pendant depicting the Triumph of Bacchus (Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City). While the finished painting depicts a scene of sensual abandon, the drawn studies reveal Poussin's cerebral process of composition, in which individual figures are treated as formal elements of a tightly knit composition based on classical ideals of beauty. Here, broad, abstracted areas of wash are used to explore the volume and spatial relations of the complex figural group that can be seen, in reversed direction, at the left side of the painting. At least four other studies for the painting survive—two at Windsor Castle, England, and two at Bayonne, France—suggesting the care with which Poussin prepared this important commission.
