介绍（中）	这张最近发现的床单是法国文艺复兴时期最核心和最吸引人的艺术家之一让·库辛的罕见作品。他活跃于挂毯、彩色玻璃和书籍插图的设计师，以及法国宫廷的短暂节日装饰。尽管如此，事实证明，Cousin的作品很难重建，因为他的大部分设计最终都是由其他媒体的熟练工匠完成的。这是他手上为数不多的无懈可击的签名页之一。它与一组八幅挂毯相连，展示了圣玛玛斯的生活——其中三幅今天幸存下来——于 1543 年委托用于朗格雷斯大教堂。圣玛玛斯是一位默默无闻的儿童烈士，他在二世纪住在卡帕多恰。他出生在监狱里，父亲在他出生前就去世了，母亲在他出生后就去世了。当地的寡妇阿米亚（Amya）在神圣异象的指示下，向州长请愿，允许收养这个孩子，并给他的父母一个基督教葬礼。作为一项研究的丢失挂毯可能是该系列中的第一个。佩林·斯坦，2014年5月
介绍（英）	This recently discovered sheet is a rare work by Jean Cousin the Elder, one of the most central and appealing artists of the French Renaissance. He was active as a designer of tapestry, stained glass, and book illustration, as well as ephemeral festival decorations for the French court. Nonetheless, Cousin’s oeuvre has proven difficult to reconstruct as the majority of his designs were ultimately executed by skilled artisans in other media. This is one of a small number of unassailably autograph sheets by his hand. It is connected to a set of eight tapestries illustrating the life of St. Mamas—of which three survive today-- commissioned in 1543 for the cathedral in Langres. Saint Mamas was an obscure child martyr who lived in Capadoccia in the second century. He was born in prison to a father who died just before his birth and a mother who died just after. A local widow, Amya, was instructed by divine vision to petition the governor for permission to adopt the child and give his parents a Christian burial. The lost tapestry for which this is a study would presumably have been the first in the series. Perrin Stein, May 2014
