介绍（中）	这幅画是欧洲肖像画的地标，它断言一对现代的、有科学头脑的夫妇穿着时尚而简单的衣服，但由于担心它会进一步点燃革命热情，这幅画被排除在 1789 年的沙龙之外。技术分析表明，第一次迭代排除了科学仪器，并且将是对税吏阶层中富有，时尚的一对夫妇的更传统的描绘。拉瓦锡是一位先驱化学家，通过他的妻子积极参与的实验发现了氧气和水的化学成分。然而，他也参与了火药的研究，1789 年夏天他从巴士底狱中移除这种珍贵商品的误解使他的联盟受到质疑。这种不幸和他作为税吏的身份（他资助科学研究的更平淡无奇的手段）导致他在1794年被送上断头台。
介绍（英）	A landmark of European portraiture that asserts a modern, scientifically minded couple in fashionable but simple dress, this painting was nonetheless excluded from the Salon of 1789 for fears it would further ignite revolutionary zeal. Technical analysis has revealed that a first iteration excluded the scientific instruments and would have been a far more conventional portrait of a wealthy, fashionable couple of the tax-collector class. Lavoisier was a pioneering chemist credited with the discovery of oxygen and the chemical composition of water through experiments in which his wife actively collaborated. However, he was also involved in studies of gunpowder and a misunderstanding about his removal of this precious commodity from the Bastille in the summer of 1789 threw his alliances into question. This mishap and his status as a tax collector (the more prosaic means by which he funded his scientific research) led him to be guillotined in 1794.
