介绍（中）	老扬·勃鲁盖尔（Jan Brueghel the Elder）在这里描绘了位于安特卫普北部的梅尔塞姆城堡（Castle Merxem）的废墟。在这幅画中，艺术家捕捉了近年来政治动荡中严重受损的建筑物的破旧状态。后来的手的铭文将这幅画的日期定为 1610 年，这并非完全不合适：仔细但自信的绘画风格表明，这张纸将在 1600-10 年左右完成，就在勃鲁盖尔从罗马返回之后。在意大利，这位艺术家研究了许多古董纪念碑和废墟，这可能激发了他对过去时代建筑结构的有趣遗迹的兴趣，比如这座中世纪的梅尔塞姆城堡。在渲染建筑的轮廓时，勃鲁盖尔使用了细腻而轻快的短笔触。然而，景观中的阴影部分和调制被添加到更自由的平行剖面线中。艺术家非常注重细节，似乎努力确保这幅画是现场现状的真实视觉记录：例如，注意周围躺着的砖块，护城河里的三只鹅。在他的钢笔画中，勃鲁盖尔经常使用水彩来快速暗示他的部分构图。在这种情况下，他保留了蓝色，黄色和红色的色调来阐述城堡最具纪念意义的部分。
介绍（英）	Jan Brueghel the Elder here depicted the ruins of Castle Merxem, located north of Antwerp. In this drawing, the artist captured the dilapidated state of the building that had been badly damaged in the recent years of political unrest. An inscription by a later hand dates the drawing to 1610, which is not altogether out of place: the careful but confident drawing style indicates that the sheet will have been executed around 1600–10, just after Brueghel’s return from Rome. In Italy the artist had studied many antique monuments and ruins, and this possibly may have stimulated his interest in the intriguing remains of architectural structures from bygone eras, like this medieval castle of Merxem. In rendering the outlines of the architecture, Brueghel used delicate and briskly interrupted short pen strokes. Shaded parts and modulations in the landscape, however, were added in much freer parallel hatching. The artist paid striking attention to detail, and seems to have made an effort to ensure the drawing was a truthful visual record of the site’s status quo: note for example the pieces of brick lying around, and three geese in the moat. In his pen drawings, Brueghel often used watercolor to quickly suggest parts of his compositions. In this instance he reserved the blue, yellow and red hues to elaborate the most monumental part of the castle.
