介绍（中）	17世纪70年代，富塞利在罗马担任绘图员，发展出了独特的浪漫主义风格，成为英国和斯堪的纳维亚艺术家和雕塑家前瞻性圈子的领导者。在八年的逗留即将结束时，他想象了这种典型的父子对抗，他的主题取自索福克勒斯的《科洛诺斯的俄狄浦斯》——他可能用希腊语原著读过这部剧。这位艺术家展示了这位失明、垂死的国王，在他的女儿们的引导下进入雅典附近波塞冬神庙的神圣小树林。俄狄浦斯遇到了波利尼刻，一个早先把父亲从底比斯流放出去的儿子，诅咒了他。雕带般的排列展示了富塞利对古典大理石的研究，而动态的姿势则暴露了他对米开朗基罗和意大利礼仪主义者的钦佩。这位艺术家曾三次作为绘图员和一次作为画家回到这个主题，但这幅最近发现的作品似乎是他最早的构思。
介绍（英）	Working as a draftsman in Rome during the 1770s, Fuseli developed a distinctive, Romantic style and became the leader of a forward-looking circle of British and Scandinavian artists and sculptors. Near the end of an eight-year stay, he imagined this archetypal father-son confrontation, taking his subject from Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus–a play that he likely read in the original Greek. The artist presents the blind, dying king, guided by his daughters into the sacred grove of the Temple of Poseidon, near Athens. Meeting Polynices, a son who had earlier exiled his father from Thebes, Oedipus curses him. The frieze-like arrangement demonstrates Fuseli’s study of classical marbles while the dynamic poses figures betray his admiration for Michelangelo and the Italian Mannerists. The artist returned to this subject three times as a draftsman, and once as a painter, but this recently discovered work appears to be his earliest conception.
