介绍（中）	这幅版画属于一系列十幅被称为帆船的版画，由弗兰斯·休斯在老彼得·勃鲁盖尔设计后执行。该系列展示了各种各样的帆船，包括商船和军舰、大型海船和小型过山车、厨房和帆船。在这里，勃鲁盖尔描绘了一艘四船长，即一艘有四根桅杆的船，以及两艘停泊在灯塔顶部的设防岛附近的三船长。这些器皿的细节和精心渲染的准确性证明了艺术家的极大谨慎，毫无疑问，勃鲁盖尔一定通过绘制大量草图和精心研究为该系列做准备——不幸的是，所有这些都丢失了。勃鲁盖尔一生中的哪个阶段对船舶主题产生了兴趣尚不清楚，但考虑到该市经济的性质，安特卫普市民对它的深深迷恋是可以理解的。作为一个直接通往北海的商业超级大国，以及欧洲一些最雄心勃勃的商人和探险家的故乡，安特卫普对他们的船只的实力和工程以及与海洋的联系感到非常自豪。无论其吸引力的确切来源是什么，勃鲁盖尔的帆船系列都是一个高度复杂的创作，在技术和想象力上远远超过了以前该类型的例子。
介绍（英）	This engraving belongs to a series of ten prints known as the Sailing Vessels, executed by Frans Huys after designs by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The series displays a wide range of sailing vessels, including merchantmen and warships, large seagoing vessels and small coasters, galleys, and caravels. Here, Bruegel depicted a four-master, i.e., a ship with four masts, and two three-masters anchored near a fortified island capped by a lighthouse. The detail and painstaking accuracy with which the vessels are rendered attests to the artist's great care and leaves no doubt that Bruegel must have prepared for the series by making numerous sketches and elaborate studies—all of which unfortunately are lost. At what point in his life Bruegel became interested in the subject of ships is unclear, but the deep fascination the citizens of Antwerp took in it is understandable given the nature of the city's economy. As a mercantile superpower with direct access to the North Sea, and as home to some of the most ambitious traders and explorers in Europe, Antwerp took great pride in the prowess and engineering of their ships and in their connection to the sea. Whatever the precise source of their appeal, Bruegel's series of Sailing Vessels was a highly sophisticated creation that far surpassed previous examples of the genre in technique and imagination.
