介绍（中）	根据中世纪的传说，维吉尔爱上了罗马皇帝的女儿。一天晚上，她答应把他装在篮子里带到她的卧室，但让他在半路上晃来晃去，第二天被路人嘲笑。诗人维吉尔在篮子里的故事属于十五和十六世纪流行的主题，即女性的力量。卢卡斯创作了两个系列的木刻和几幅关于这个主题的版画，展示了女性愚弄最聪明的男人的能力。在艺术家特有的叙事策略中，卢卡斯将主要主题置于背景中，邀请观众在前景中加入旁观者讨论事件。这幅版画是艺术家雕刻最精致、空间最精致的作品之一，前景、中间地带和背景之间有着明显的区别。卢卡斯以其创造大气透视的能力而闻名，通过减轻对布林的压力来实现，使线条离前景越远，线条就越细越浅。
介绍（英）	According to medieval legend, Virgil fell in love with the Roman emperor's daughter. One night she promised to raise him to her bedroom in a basket but left him dangling halfway to be mocked by passersby the following day. The tale of the poet Virgil in a basket belongs to a popular fifteenth- and sixteenth-century theme, the power of women. Lucas produced two series of woodcuts and several engravings on this theme, illustrating women's ability to make fools of even the wisest of men. In a characteristic narrative strategy of the artist, Lucas placed the main subject in the background, inviting the viewer to join the onlookers in the foreground as they discuss the event. This print is one of the artist's most delicately engraved and spatially elaborate works, with a clear distinction between foreground, middle ground, and background. Lucas was famed for his ability to create atmospheric perspective, achieved by lessening pressure on the burin so that the lines become increasingly fine and shallow the further from the foreground they are meant to be.
