介绍（中）	这张纸是雅克·路易斯·大卫在法国大革命前夕绘制的《给布鲁图带来儿子尸体的Lictors Bring Brutus The Bodies of His Sons》（巴黎卢浮宫博物馆）的构图研究，1789年巴士底狱沦陷后不久展出。这个主题取材于罗马历史，在当代事件的背景下引起了极大的共鸣。画布描绘了卢修斯·朱尼乌斯·布鲁图斯一生中的一个插曲，他结束了罗马最后一位国王塔昆的残暴政权，建立了第一个罗马共和国，但后来发现他的两个儿子卷入了保皇党的阴谋。布鲁图斯忠于他的政治信念，判处他的儿子死刑。大卫画作的新颖之处在于它关注的不是处决，而是痛苦的国内后果大卫完全形成的新古典主义风格在这里可以从建筑环境的干净几何、浮雕平面中人物的排列、形式的线性处理和酷炫的单色调色板中看到。从左边沉思的布鲁图到右边痛苦的妻子和女儿，主要人物的家具、配饰和姿势都是基于大卫在罗马读书时复制的古董。
介绍（英）	This sheet is a compositional study for The Lictors Bringing Brutus the Bodies of His Sons (Musée du Louvre, Paris), which Jacques Louis David painted on the eve of the French Revolution and exhibited shortly after the fall of the Bastille in 1789. The subject, drawn from Roman history, found great resonance in the context of contemporary events. The canvas depicts an episode from the life of Lucius Junius Brutus, who put an end to the brutal regime of Tarquin, Rome's last king, and established the first Roman Republic, only later to find his two sons embroiled in a royalist conspiracy. True to his political convictions, Brutus condemned his sons to death. The novelty of David's painting is its focus, not on the executions but on the wrenching domestic aftermath. David's fully formed Neoclassical style can be seen here in the clean geometry of the architectural setting, the arrangement of the figures in a relieflike plane, the linear treatment of the forms, and the cool monochrome palette. The furniture and accessories and the poses of the main figures, from the brooding Brutus at the left to his anguished wife and daughters at the right, are all based on antiquities David copied while he was a student in Rome.
