介绍（中）	这幅关于绘画艺术的最雄心勃勃的寓言也是一幅高度个人化的作品：人们普遍认为，这幅版画是由意大利画家费德里科·祖卡罗在1574年完成佛罗伦萨大教堂圆顶装饰后所遭受的批评所引发的。在这幅作品的上半部分，由于其尺寸的原因，不得不用两个单独的盘子印刷，木星在天空中主持众神的集会。在他之前，三位女神和阿莫尔领导着绘画和九位缪斯的哭泣化身。Minerva提请Jupiter注意一张解释绘画抱怨性质的图片：受到诽谤的攻击，在摇摆不定的命运的摆布下，激励真正艺术家的美德处于危险之中。朱庇特对受威胁艺术的保护可以从左下角祖卡罗在其工作室《朱庇特的霹雳》中创作的画作中推断出来。这位艺术家不怕狗从背后攻击他。他受到了一位代表智慧的光彩照人的女人的启发，她指着众神，战胜了躺在地下的嫉妒。寓言在一首长诗中得到了解释，这首长诗通常伴随着印刷品，但在博物馆的印象中却没有。这幅雕刻杰作是在Cort去世一年后在佛罗伦萨出版的，Cort在意大利工作了十多年。
介绍（英）	This most ambitious allegory of the art of painting is also a highly personal work: it is generally accepted that the print was prompted by the criticism the Italian painter Federico Zuccaro endured after he finished the decoration of the dome of the Florence Cathedral in 1574. In the upper half of the composition, which had to be printed from two separate plates because of its size, Jupiter is seen in the skies presiding over the assembly of the gods. Before him the three Graces and Amor lead the weeping personification of Painting and the nine Muses. Minerva draws Jupiter's attention to a picture explaining the nature of Painting's complaint: assaulted by Calumny and at the mercy of the vacillating Fortune, the Virtues, which inspire the true artist, are in danger. Jupiter's protection of the threatened arts can be inferred from the section of the painting on which Zuccaro, seen at lower left, is working in his studio-Jupiter's thunderbolt. The artist does not fear the dogs attacking him from behind. He is inspired by a radiant woman representing Wisdom, pointing to the gods and triumphing over Envy, who lies defeated under ground. The allegory is explained in a long poem that usually accompanies the print but is absent in the Museum's impression. This masterpiece of engraving was published in Florence one year after the death of Cort, who worked for more than a decade in Italy.
