介绍（中）	维克多·雷诺是著名的物理学家，也是塔尔博特发明的摄影过程的早期实验者，是法国早期摄影的主要推动者。他与德拉克洛瓦等人一起于1851年创立了Société Héliographique，于1854年成为随后的法国摄影协会的创始主席，并于1852年至1871年担任塞夫尔瓷器厂的厂长，使摄影成为那里技术和艺术实验的中心焦点。这张大照片代表了 17 世纪景观设计师安德烈·勒诺特尔在圣克劳德为路易十四的兄弟奥尔良公爵布置的花园。在拍摄这幅画时，圣克劳德是拿破仑三世闪闪发光的皇室的重要地点。然而，雷诺选择在那里拍摄可能不是因为它很流行，而是因为它毗邻塞夫尔工厂，并且因为花园的装饰几乎与塞夫尔瓷器的传统装饰方案相同。这幅版画在底片上展示了许多手工制作的证据，保罗·佩里尔（Paul Périer）称赞它"同时广泛而精致，[拥有]细节而不刺眼，中间的柔软程度恰到好处，最后，与伟大绘画流派的最佳作品具有家庭相似性。
介绍（英）	A famous physicist and early experimenter with the photographic process invented by Talbot, Victor Regnault was a prime mover in early French photography. With Delacroix, among others, he founded the Société Héliographique in 1851, was founding president of the subsequent Société Française de Photographie in 1854, and as director of the Sèvres porcelain factory from 1852 to 1871 made photography a central focus of technical and artistic experiment there. This large photograph represents the gardens laid out by the seventeenth-century landscape designer André Le Nôtre for the duc d'Orléans, the brother of Louis XIV, at Saint-Cloud. At the time the picture was made Saint-Cloud was an important locus of the glittering imperial court of Napoleon III. Yet Regnault probably did not choose to photograph there because it was in vogue, but because it adjoined the Sèvres factory and because the gardens owed their ornament to nearly the same moment as the traditional decorative schemes of Sèvres porcelain. This print, which shows much evidence of handwork on the paper negative, was the sort praised by Paul Périer as being "broad and delicate at the same time, [possessing] detail without harshness, just the right amount of softness in the midgrounds, and finally, having a family resemblance with the best works of the great schools of painting."
