介绍（中）	这种印象以前是建立在一个传真的顶部，填补了损失。传真要么是印在薄纱织物上，要么是薄纱织物放在印刷品上，模糊了雕刻和传真之间的区别。在1992年的曼特格纳展览上，印刷品被从其底座上取下，印象的美感得到了认可。，尽管它支离破碎。它被收录在纽约展览馆的展览中，但目录中没有讨论。水印：圆形冠 Vasari认为正是巴尔迪尼的版画激发了曼特格纳采用这一媒介。最近的学者也认为佛罗伦萨的例子为曼特格纳自己的技术发展提供了一个起点。在被认为是他最早的版画之一中，我们可以看到曼特格纳用大量的细线构建色调区域，从圣母斗篷的透明阴影到洞穴中难以穿透的黑暗。他的明暗处理是系统的，所有线条都遵循相同的对角线倾斜，他的轮廓在深度和厚度上微妙地变化，通过它们的调制创造了一种体积感。在这个美丽而丰富但受损的早期印象中，我们可以欣赏到艺术家在新的雕刻媒介中的最初努力之一的全部强度、戏剧性和雄心。
介绍（英）	This impression was formerly mounted on top of a facsimile that filled in the losses. Either the facsimile was printed on gauzy fabric or the gauzy fabric lay on top of the print and served to blur the distinction between the engraving and the facsimile. At the time of the Mantegna exhibition in 1992, the print was removed from its mount and the beauty of the impression recognized., in spite of its fragmentary condition. It was included in the exhibition in its New York venue but was not discussed in the catalogue. Watermark: crown in circle. Vasari suggested that it was Baldini's engravings that inspired Mantegna to take up the medium. Recent scholars are also of the opinion that Florentine examples provided Mantegna with a starting point for the development of his own technique. In what is believed to be one of his earliest prints, we can see the profusion of fine lines with which Mantegna builds up areas of tone, from the transparent shadows of the Virgin's mantle to the impenetrable darkness of the cave. His shading is systematic, with all lines following the same diagonal slant, and his contours vary subtly in depth and thickness, creating a sense of volume through their modulations. In this beautifully rich-if damaged-early impression, we can appreciate the full intensity, drama, and ambition of one of the artist's first efforts in the new medium of engraving.
