介绍（中）	著名的法国雕塑家米歇尔·安吉耶在罗马师从詹洛伦佐·贝尼尼和亚历山德罗·阿尔加迪，然后回到巴黎，成为十七世纪后期法国最杰出的艺术家之一。他学识渊博，精通当代艺术理论，将深入研究古典主义与十六世纪矫饰主义的技巧和贝尼尼巴洛克风格的戏剧性融为一体。在法国，Anguier从奥地利的安妮等着名赞助人那里获得了重要的委托，并参与了大型雕像的工作，包括石灰石Leda和1654年的天鹅，也在大都会的收藏中（1970.140）除了这些项目，Anguier还因其小型青铜小雕像模型而闻名。1652年，他构思了一系列六位神和女神，每对都代表一种特定的气质，这对神属于这种气质。在这里，海洋女神安菲特里特（Amphitrite）以纤细的裸体和阴沉的目光代表宁静。她由一只海豚陪伴，左手拿着龙虾或小龙虾。对于谷神星的小雕像，安吉耶改编自奥维德的《变形记》中的一个故事，讲述了哭泣、委屈的农业女神寻找被绑架的女儿普罗塞尔皮娜的故事。谷神星戴着麦冠，伸出的右手拿着火炬，被埃特纳火山的火焰照亮，脚下有一条嘶嘶作响的龙。她激动的长袍在她的背上层层叠叠，卷帘。 Anguier的神和女神模型受到高度重视，并从十七世纪中叶开始一直到十九世纪被复制，其中感性但端庄的安菲特里特特别受欢迎。安菲特里特和谷神星的高度熟练铸造以及它们与其他早期铸件在制造上的相似性表明日期约为 1700 年。
介绍（英）	The celebrated French sculptor Michel Anguier studied in Rome under Gianlorenzo Bernini and Alessandro Algardi before returning to Paris to become one of France’s most preeminent artists of the late seventeenth century. Profoundly learned and well-versed in contemporary art theory, he fused deeply studied classicism with the artifice of sixteenth-century mannerism and the theatricality of Bernini’s baroque. In France, Anguier obtained important commissions from prestigious patrons like Anne of Austria and worked on large-scale statues, including the limestone Leda and the Swan of 1654, also in The Met’s collection (1970.140) In addition to those projects, Anguier also became renowned for his models for small bronze statuettes. In 1652, he conceived a series of six gods and goddesses, each paired and representing a specific temperament, to which this pair belongs. Here, Amphitrite, the goddess of the sea, represents tranquility with her slender nude body and her downcast gaze. She is accompanied by a dolphin and holds in her left hand a lobster or crayfish. For the statuette of Ceres, Anguier adapted a story from Ovid’s Metamorphosis of the weeping, aggrieved goddess of agriculture searching for her abducted daughter Proserpina. Wearing a crown of wheat, Ceres holds a torch in her outstretched right hand, lit by the fires of Mount Etna, and is joined by a hissing dragon at her feet. Her agitated robes cascade into abstracted planes of billowing drapery across her back. Anguier’s models of gods and goddesses were highly valued and reproduced beginning in the mid-seventeenth century and well into the nineteenth century, with the sensuous but decorous Amphitrite especially popular. The highly proficient casting of the Amphitrite and Ceres and their similarities in facture to other early casts indicate a date of around 1700.
