介绍（中）	这幅有力的构图描绘了托斯卡纳城镇圣吉米尼亚诺和科尔瓦尔德埃尔萨的寓言，它们分别于 1354 年和 1333 年受到佛罗伦萨的统治。这幅画与一幅精确记录的、具有历史意义的画作有关，这有助于破译原本深奥的肖像画。前景中坐着一个肌肉发达的老河神，暗指艾尔莎河，两侧是两个标志性的男性人物，举着两个城镇的旗帜。在左边，横幅最终将描绘圣吉米尼亚诺的狮子，在右边，旗帜最终将描绘科尔的马头。远处的背景包括防御城镇的漫游视图，在最后的作品中，最远处的城镇将包括众多高塔，将其描述为圣吉米尼亚诺。从比例平方的痕迹中可以推断出，精心绘制的图纸用作演示图（modello），这是绘画放大到全尺寸之前初步设计过程中的倒数第二步。绘画技巧，具有坚定的圆形轮廓和白色高光和棕灰色水洗阴影的鲜明对比，是艺术家的典型特征。雅各布·祖基（Jacopo Zucchi）的这幅精湛的画作是为"Sala dei Cinquecento"（佛罗伦萨维奇奥宫）的天花板隔间做准备的，并构成了乔治·瓦萨里（Giorgio Vasari）及其工作室于1563年执行的壁画和油画的巨大装饰方案的一部分。这是一件有吸引力的展览作品，因为它具有戏剧性的构图和有力的绘图技巧。这是Zucchi的早期作品，受到Giorgio Vasari的强烈影响，Giorgio Vasari聘请他绘制"Sala dei Cinquecento"的天花板和壁画。 "萨拉"的绘画周期隆重庆祝托斯卡纳大公科西莫一世德美第奇的统治。（卡门 C. 班巴赫，2009）
介绍（英）	This powerfully rendered composition portrays an allegory of the Tuscan towns of San Gimignano and Colle Val d'Elsa, which came under Florentine rule in 1354 and 1333 respectively. The drawing is connected with a precisely documented, historically significant painting, and this helps in deciphering the otherwise abstruse iconography. A muscular old river god alluding to the Elsa River sits in the foreground, flanked by two emblematic male figures holding the banners of the two towns. At left the banner would eventually depict the lion of San Gimignano, and at right the banner would eventually depict the horse's head of Colle. The distant background includes roving views of the fortified towns, and in the final work the town furthest in the distance would include the numerous tall towers that would characterize it as San Gimignano. As can be deduced from the traces of proportional squaring, the carefully drawn sheet served as a demonstration drawing (modello), the penultimate step in the process of preliminary design of the painting before it was enlarged to full scale. The drawing technique, with firm rounded outlines and stark contrasts of white highlights and brown-gray wash shadows, is typical of the artist. This superb drawing by Jacopo Zucchi was preparatory for a ceiling compartment in the "Sala dei Cinquecento" (Palazzo Vecchio, Florence), and forms part of a monumental decorative scheme in fresco and oil painting executed by Giorgio Vasari and his workshop in 1563. It is an attractive exhibition piece, because of its dramatic composition and vigorous draftsmanship. This is a fairly early work by Zucchi, strongly influenced by Giorgio Vasari, who employed him in for the painting of the ceiling panels and wall frescoes in the "Sala dei Cinquecento." The painting cycle in the "Sala" grandly celebrated the reign of Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. (Carmen C. Bambach, 2009)
