介绍（中）	红色背景上用金色书写的铭文表明，这幅微型画是布鲁日著名照明师西蒙·贝宁的自画像："亚历山大之子西蒙·本尼克于1558年75岁时亲自绘制了这幅作品。" 西蒙·贝宁成为16世纪最著名的照明师之一。他早年在根特或安特卫普度过，可能在他的父亲、照明师亚历山大·贝宁的指导下工作。西蒙于1517年永久搬到布鲁日，在那里他领导了一个庞大而繁荣的工作室。尽管贝宁在他那个时代备受钦佩，并被广泛模仿，但他的艺术个性仍有待深入研究这幅微型画作为一位艺术家的早期自画像，在艺术史上引起了相当大的兴趣。贝宁描绘了自己，手里拿着眼镜，坐在一个木制画架前。画架上挂着圣母和圣婴的画像；沿着它的左边缘，小壁架容纳着各种绘画材料。在表现这一形象时，贝宁与绘画的守护神圣卢克结盟，圣卢克传统上画的是圣母的形象——这一主题本身就成为了艺术家在15世纪和16世纪自画像的一种自负。贝宁把自己描绘成一个知识分子，而不是一个工匠。通过在他的作品上刻上签名（作为亚历山大的儿子）和日期，他承认了自己在布鲁日贝宁照明者的杰出血统中的天赋和遗产。这种照明可能是作为一件独立的作品制作的，而不是作为一本书的一部分，当时自主微缩模型越来越多地投入生产。这个微缩模型的第二个版本在伦敦的维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆。
介绍（英）	Written in gold on a red background is an inscription that identifies this miniature as a self-portrait of the famous Bruges illuminator, Simon Bening: "Simon Bennik, the son of Alexander, painted this himself at the age of 75 in 1558." Simon Bening became one of the most famous illuminators of the sixteenth century. He spent his early years in Ghent or Antwerp, probably working under the tutelage of his father, the illuminator Alexander Bening. Simon moved to Bruges permanently in 1517, where over time he headed a large and flourishing workshop. Although Bening was much admired in his day and widely imitated, his artistic personality has yet to be thoroughly studied. This miniature painting has attracted considerable interest in art history as an early self-portrait of an artist. Bening portrays himself, spectacles in hand, seated before a wooden easel. The easel holds a drawing of the Virgin and Child; along its left edge, small ledges hold various painting materials. In representing this imagery Bening allies himself with Saint Luke, the patron saint of painting, who is traditionally shown painting an image of the Virgin - a subject that itself became a conceit for the self-portrait of the artist in the 15th and 16th centuries. Bening portrays himself not in the garb of an artisan, but as a member of the intelligentsia. By inscribing his work with a signature (as the son of Alexander) and a date, he acknowledges his talents and heritage in the distinguished lineage of Bening illuminators in Bruges. The illumination was probably made as an independent work, rather than as part of a book, at a time when autonomous miniatures increasingly came into production. A second version of this miniature is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
