介绍（中）	到16世纪末，扬·穆勒是荷兰北部最受欢迎的版画家之一。他模仿了亨德里克·高尔齐乌斯（Hendrick Goltzius）的雕刻风格，大约在1589年，他曾与他短暂合作过，或者可能是他的学徒。到那时，穆勒已经完善了高尔齐乌斯的虚张声势技巧，改变了他墓葬的压力，创造出了急剧缩小和膨胀的线条。这种雕刻技术非常适合于翻译矫揉造作的身体和复杂的姿势，这是矫揉造作艺术家，特别是科内利斯·科内利兹的标志。，哈勒姆市的主要画家穆勒根据科内利斯的一篇失传作品，雕刻了该隐杀死亚伯的画面，捕捉到了该隐真正袭击他哥哥之前的一刻。它从一个惊人的低而近的视角呈现了旧约场景，像艺术家的其他作品一样，可爱地描述了两个裸体主角扭曲的姿势和紧张的身体。在中间的距离，穆勒在故事的后面显示了该隐因谋杀亚伯而被逐出伊甸园的那一刻。穆勒在科内利斯之后制作了六幅版画，其中四幅在大都会博物馆展出。除了目前的作品外，他们还包括《海豚上的阿里翁》（56.597.5）、《尤利西斯和伊鲁斯之间的斗争》（56.59.6）以及《克洛索、拉塞西斯和阿特罗波斯三个命运》（56.97.7）。
介绍（英）	By the end of the sixteenth century, Jan Muller was one of the most sought-after printmakers in the northern Netherlands. He modeled his engraving style on that of Hendrick Goltzius, with whom he briefly worked in about 1589 or was perhaps apprenticed to. By that time, Muller had perfected Goltzius’s bravura technique, varying the pressure on his burin to create lines that tapered and swelled dramatically. This technique of engraving was perfectly suited to translating the over-muscled bodies and complex poses that were the hallmarks of the Mannerist artists, particularly Cornelis Cornelisz., the principal painter in the city of Haarlem. Based on a lost composition by Cornelis, Muller’s engraving of Cain Killing Abel captures the moment just before Cain actually strikes his brother. It presents the Old Testament scene from a strikingly low and close viewpoint, and like other works by the artist, lovingly describes the contorted poses and straining bodies of the two nude protagonists. In the middle distance, Muller shows a later moment in the narrative, when Cain is banished from Eden for the murder of Abel. Muller made six engravings after Cornelis and impressions of four are in the Met. In addition to the present work they include Arion on a Dolphin (56.597.5), The Fight Between Ulysses and Irus (56.597.6) and The Three Fates Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos (56.597.7).
