介绍（中）	Praxiteles创作的公元前4世纪的《克尼多斯的阿佛洛狄忒》变体古代没有其他雕塑能像Praxitele的《克尼多斯的Aphrodite》那样享有盛誉。对于罗马作家老普林尼（公元23-79年）来说，这不仅是普拉西特勒最优秀的作品，也是世界上最好的雕像。克尼多斯铸造的描绘雕像的罗马硬币提供了对雕像姿势的一般识别。阿佛洛狄特裸体站着，右腿上放着重物，头转向左边，右手覆盖着阴部，左手拿着一层窗帘，垂在站在基座上的水罐上。这座雕像竖立在一座圆形的寺庙里，旨在从四面八方观看。女神被描绘成沐浴前脱衣服（或沐浴后穿衣服）的"英雄裸体"，与众神一样无意识和光彩照人这尊宏伟的大青铜雕像只代表了普拉西提利原始雕像的一个变体。克尼多斯的阿佛洛狄忒最初是一件用巴黎大理石雕刻的真人大小的作品，但希腊和罗马世界的艺术家以多种媒介和尺度广泛模仿和改编。
介绍（英）	Variant of the 4th century B.C. Aphrodite of Knidos by Praxiteles No other sculpture in antiquity enjoyed the renown of Praxiteles' Aphrodite of Knidos. For the Roman author Pliny the Elder (A.D. 23–79), it was not only the finest work by Praxiteles but also the finest statue in the world. Roman coins minted in Knidos that depict the statue provide the general identification of the pose. Aphrodite stands nude, with her weight on her right leg, her head turned to the left, her right hand covering her pubic area, and her left hand holding a fold of drapery that falls onto a hydria (water jar) standing on a pedestal. The statue was erected in a round temple and was meant to be viewed from all sides. The goddess is depicted undressing before (or dressing after) a bath in "heroic nudity" as unconscious and glorious as that of the gods. This magnificent large bronze statuette represents only one variation on the Praxitelean original. While originally an over-life-sized work sculpted in Parian marble, the Aphrodite of Knidos was widely imitated and adapted by artists of the Greek and Roman world in many mediums and on many scales.
