介绍（中）	曼特格纳在动作中对裸体的精通是文艺复兴时期艺术家的典范。在这里，他通过使用高度分级的平行阴影来实现对色调的华丽控制，在这种阴影中，不同厚度的线条跟随形状的移动，创造出闪烁的光线的惊人效果。这幅版画的主题可能是曼特格纳自己的发明，也可能是曼图阿贡扎加宫廷的一位博学的人文主义者的发明。这一场景描绘了嫉妒的寓言形象，这位面容憔悴的老妇人拿着左边刻有INVID（意为"invidia"或嫉妒）的石碑，高耸在下面的海洋神灵之上，她的力量使他们在汹涌的海水中疯狂的战斗无效。海王星神，站在一个精心制作的基座上，稍微偏离了背景的中心，在战斗中转身。1491年，曼特格纳在写给他的一位赞助人的信中写道："嫉妒确实总是统治着渺小的人，是美德和有价值的人的敌人。"；右侧部分，作为单独的图像打印，也在大都会。这幅作品的部分灵感来自于文艺复兴时期大量复制的罗马大理石浮雕（罗马美第奇别墅）。
介绍（英）	Mantegna's mastery of the nude in action was paradigmatic for Renaissance artists. Here, he achieved a magnificent control of tone through the use of highly graded parallel hatching, in which the lines of varying thickness follow the movement of the forms, creating stunning effects of flickering light. Teeming with learned classical references, the subject of this engraving may have been Mantegna's own invention or that of one of the erudite humanists at the Gonzaga court in Mantua. The scene portrays the allegorical figure of Envy-the haggard old woman holding the tablet inscribed INVID (for "invidia," or envy) at left-towering over the marine deities below, her powers rendering their frenzied combat ineffectual on the turbulent waters of the sea. The god Neptune, standing on an elaborate pedestal slightly off-center in the background, turns his back on the battle. Mantegna wrote to one of his patrons in 1491, "It is true that envy always rules men of smallness and is the enemy of virtue and of men of worth." This engraving forms the left portion of a larger composition; the right part, printed as a separate image, is also in the Metropolitan. The composition was partly inspired by a Roman marble relief (Villa Medici, Rome) that was much-copied during the Renaissance.
