介绍（中）	雅克·贝朗格（Jacques Bellange）的画作很少幸存下来，他是今天法国东北部洛林公爵宫廷的一位受宠的艺术家。他作为晚期最伟大的风格主义艺术家之一的声誉主要归功于他现存的版画和素描，这些版画和素描以其独特的风格而著称，结合了宫廷优雅和心理表现力。这张最近发现的纸张完全是贝朗格作为绘图员风格的特征。华丽的曲线和卷曲以快速的墨水线产生，勾勒出人物的胡须、肩膀上垂下的动物皮和他精致的凉鞋。平行的影线通道，由块状的洗涤区域加固，以暗示力量和优雅的姿势塑造他强大而扭曲的形状。参孙和赫拉克勒斯碰巧拥有狮子皮和棍棒的属性，他们都被提议作为本文的主题。在圣经的记载中，参孙挥舞的棍棒是驴子的颚骨，是用来打败非利士人的武器。有时他被描绘成在战斗结束后高举颚骨，水会奇迹般地涌出以解渴。佩林·斯坦，2014年5月
介绍（英）	Few paintings survive by Jacques Bellange, a favored artist of the ducal court of Lorraine in what is today northeastern France. His reputation as one of the greatest late Mannerist artists is due primarily to his extant prints and drawings, which are distinguished by their idiosyncratic style combining courtly elegance and psychological expressiveness. This recently discovered sheet is entirely characteristic of Bellange's style as a draftsman. Flamboyant curves and curlicues are produced in a rapid ink line, delineating the figure's beard, the animal skins draped from his shoulder, and his elaborate sandals. Passages of parallel hatching, reinforced by blocky areas of wash, model his powerful, twisting form in a pose suggestive of both force and grace. Samson and Hercules, who happen to share the attributes of lion skin and club, have both been proposed as the subject of this sheet. In the biblical account, the club Samson brandishes is the jawbone of an ass, the weapon used to defeat the Philistines. He is sometimes depicted after the battle holding the jawbone aloft, whence water would miraculously gush forth to quench his thirst. Perrin Stein, May 2014
