介绍（中）	朝圣者从他的书中抬起头来，凝视着远方，灿烂的阳光流入他休息的阴影结构。这个宁静的场景是卡尔·布莱兴版画中最细腻和微妙的，这是画家和绘图员的早期作品，他的多产职业生涯只持续了短短的十五年。Blechen 一生创作了大约 50 幅蚀刻版画和石版画，这些都是他最稀有的作品之一。他为 1827 年由艺术家团体柏林艺术协会出版的作品集制作了这幅石版画。那一年，他辞去了柏林国王施塔特剧院舞台布景设计师的工作，开始了独立艺术家的职业生涯。鉴于他的经验，他在这里对令人回味的环境的突出似乎不足为奇。布莱兴的意象归功于浪漫主义画家卡斯帕·大卫·弗里德里希（Caspar David Friedrich），他可能在1823年访问德累斯顿时遇到了他。然而，除了摇摇欲坠的建筑和远离观众的人物之外，这个阳光明媚的场景与弗里德里希喜怒无常的月光描绘的色调截然不同。这种黑暗浪漫意象的影响在Blechen的其他作品中反复出现，但这里的气氛非常明亮和令人振奋。
介绍（英）	A pilgrim looks up from his book to gaze into the distance as brilliant sunshine streams into the shadowed structure where he rests. This tranquil scene is the most delicate and subtle of Karl Blechen's prints, an early work by the painter and draftsman whose prolific career lasted only a brief fifteen years. Blechen created some fifty etchings and lithographs during his lifetime, and these are among his rarest works. He produced this lithograph for a portfolio published in 1827 by the artists' group the Berlinischer Künstlerverein. That year, he left a job as a designer of stage sets at the Königstadt Theater in Berlin to embark on a career as an independent artist. Given his experience, the prominence he gave here to the evocative setting seems hardly surprising. Blechen's imagery is indebted to the Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, whom he probably met when he visited Dresden in 1823. Yet except for the crumbling building and the figure looking away from the viewer, this sunny scene is decidedly different in tone from Friedrich's moody, moonlit depictions. The influence of such dark romantic imagery recurs in others of Blechen's works, but here the atmosphere is remarkably bright and uplifting.
