介绍（中）	在广阔河谷的山坡上，一名猎人在警犬的陪同下，用弩瞄准下面的两只兔子。另一个人拿着长矛，在他身后的树上转了一圈。这张照片可能与一句古老的谚语有关，该谚语警告说："一次追逐两只兔子，就会两败俱伤。"但手持长矛的人的行为和目的并不那么明确，甚至是不祥的，这表明了勃鲁盖尔作品中常见的那种模糊性。根据艺术家自己的绘画，《兔子狩猎》是唯一一幅由勃鲁盖尔亲自创作的版画。凭借蚀刻这一自由而微妙的图形词汇，Bruegel能够给风景带来生动的光线和氛围。蚀刻是一种用尖头工具在印版上的地面上作画的技术。因此，这幅图像避免了其他艺术家在勃鲁盖尔的设计之后创作的大多数版画所特有的那种僵硬的色调和强烈的轮廓，并预见到了这位大师在晚期绘画的风景中所达到的辉煌的季节效果。
介绍（英）	On the hillside of an expansive river valley, a hunter accompanied by his alert dog aims his crossbow at two rabbits below. Another man, carrying a spear, circles around the tree behind him. The image may relate to an old proverb that warns: "He who pursues two rabbits at once, will lose both." But the actions and purpose of the man with a spear are less clear and even ominous, demonstrating the kind of ambiguity common to Bruegel's work. Based on the artist's own drawing, The Rabbit Hunt was the only print executed by Bruegel himself. With the free and subtle graphic vocabulary of etching, a technique that involves drawing with a pointed tool through a ground on the printing plate, Bruegel was able to give the landscape a vivid sense of light and atmosphere. The image thus avoids the kind of rigid tones and strong outlines characteristic of most prints executed by other artists after Bruegel's designs, and anticipates the brilliant seasonal effects achieved by the master in his late painted landscapes.
