介绍（中）	这幅挂毯描绘了维罗妮卡面纱的传说，这是十二世纪法国史诗《我们主的复仇》（La Vengeance de Nostre Seigneur）中的一集，这是一世纪杜撰资料的混合体，讲述了罗马皇帝维斯帕先在耶路撒冷的战役。这首诗在十四世纪作为神秘剧的主题而广为流传。维罗妮卡被带到跪在她面前的维斯帕先皇帝面前，以治愈他的疾病。维罗妮卡拿着那块布，当基督背着十字架走在去髑髅地的路上时，她用那块布擦拭了脸上的汗水。基督的形象连同他神奇的医治能力一起被转移到布上。毫无疑问，这幅挂毯是由最优秀的织工编织的，值得注意的是，这幅挂毯逃脱了法国大革命，当时大量含有镀金或银线的挂毯被熔化和摧毁。
介绍（英）	This tapestry illustrates the legend of Veronica’s veil, an episode from a twelfth-century French epic poem, La Vengeance de Nostre Seigneur (The Vengeance of Our Lord), an amalgam of apocryphal sources from the first century which tell of the Roman Emperor Vespasian’s campaigns in Jerusalem. The poem was popularized in the fourteenth century as the subject of mystery plays. Portrayed at center, Veronica has been brought to the Emperor Vespasian, who kneels before her, in order to cure him of his illness. Veronica holds the cloth with which she had wiped perspiration from Christ’s face as he carried the cross on the road to Calvary. Christ’s image was transferred to the cloth along with his miraculous healing powers. Undoubtedly woven by the finest weavers, it is remarkable that this tapestry escaped the French Revolution when a vast number of tapestries containing gilt or silvered threads were melted down and destroyed.
