介绍（中）	文艺复兴时期的艺术家和历史学家乔治·瓦萨里用钢笔和棕色墨水快速绘制了两幅速写草图，分别是《遗忘的寓言》（编号67.95.3）和《睡眠的寓言》，记录了他对天花板或墙壁装饰的想法。1981年，朱利安·克里曼（Julian Kliemann）指出，瓦萨里在大都会艺术博物馆（Metropolitan Museum of Art）的寓言画与文森佐·博基尼（Vincenzo Borghini）在约1569-70年的一份文本数据中计划的卧室天花板装饰的两部分（可能是为弗兰西斯科·德美第奇（Francesco I de‘Medici）设计的）相对应。遗忘的寓言表现为一位河神坐在一个瓮上，从瓮中流出莱特的黑暗之水。前景中睡着的豹子和蜥蜴扮演着象征性的角色，而代表关怀的"certi spiritelli come diavolini"在右上角飞走了。《睡眠的寓言》（根据编号67.95.4）在许多方面与Vincenzo Borghini对卧室项目的描述不同。尽管如此，Borghini计划的基本要素仍然存在：一名年轻女子参与了睡眠，上面出现了蝴蝶翼普提举着镜子。
介绍（英）	The two rapid sketches with the Allegory of Forgetfulness (acc. no. 67.95.3) and the Allegory of Sleep (acc. no. 67.95.4) were executed in pen and brown ink by the Renaissance artist and historian Giorgio Vasari in a quick and spontaneous manner to record his ideas for a ceiling or wall decoration. In 1981 Julian Kliemann pointed out that Vasari’s allegorical drawings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art correspond with two sections of a ceiling decoration of a bedroom (possibly for Francesco I de' Medici) planned by Vincenzo Borghini in a text datable ca. 1569-70. The Allegory of Forgetfulness is represented as a river god resting on an urn from which flow the dark waters of Lethe. The sleeping leopard and lizard in the foreground play emblematic roles, while "certi spiritelli come diavolini," representing cares, fly away at upper right. The Allegory of Sleep (acc. no. 67.95.4) differs in a number of ways from Vincenzo Borghini's description for the bedroom project. The essential elements of Borghini's scheme are nonetheless present: Sleep is attended by a young woman, and butterfly-winged putti holding mirrors appear above.
