介绍（中）	1853年至1855年间，达德绘制了一系列约30幅水彩画《激情素描》。最早的作品使用莎士比亚的人物来描绘强烈的情感，如嫉妒和仇恨，然后是类似于体裁的图像，如"衰老和卑鄙"。我们看到的是两名工人在酒馆外购买和吃馅饼，由一名火盆老板和酒吧招待看守。题写的标题指明了主题，并用字母标记了一系列提供的酒精，但图像如何说明命名的激情仍然很神秘 1842年，在展示了早期的艺术前景，并作为托马斯·菲利普斯爵士的绘图员前往希腊和近东后，达德死于偏执性精神分裂症，并谋杀了他的父亲。从1843年起，他被限制在精神病院，继续作画，并留下了大量作品，直到20世纪60年代才引起人们的注意。今天，达德被认为是一位维多利亚时代的大师，他被迫退出社会，这使他能够提炼出一种独特的天赋。《激情素描》属于一个长期以来致力于人类愚蠢的意象传统，尽管它令人不安的细节，以及对记忆和想象力的依赖预示着现代情感。
介绍（英）	Between 1853 and 1855 Dadd painted "Sketches to Illustrate the Passions," a series of about thirty watercolors. The earliest use characters from Shakespeare to portray strong emotions, such as Jealousy and Hatred, and these were followed by genre-like images such as "Senility and Peevishness." We are shown two workmen buying and eating pasties outside a tavern watched by a brazier-keeper and barman. The inscribed title specifies the subject, and lettered signs advertize a range of alcohol on offer, but how the imagery illustrates the named passions remains mysterious. After demonstrating early artistic promise, and travelling to Greece and the Near East as draftsman to Sir Thomas Phillips in 1842, Dadd succumbed to paranoid schizophrenia and murdered his father. Confined to psychiatric institutions from 1843, he continued painting and left a large oeuvre that escaped significant notice until the 1960s. Today Dadd is regarded as a Victorian master whose enforced withdrawal from society allowed him to refine a unique talent. "Sketches to Illustrate the Passions" belongs to a long tradition of imagery devoted to human folly, even as its unsettling details, and reliance on memory and imagination anticipate modern sensibilities.
