介绍（中）	这幅贤士崇拜的画作密切地让人想起画家和挂毯设计师伯纳德·范·奥利（Bernard van Orley）对这一主题的处理，特别是他在费城艺术博物馆 1520 年代初的画作，该画具有相同的破碎柱和非常相似的姿势主要人物，在很大程度上是相反的。正如学者们长期以来所指出的那样，范奥利从梵蒂冈新星库拉挂毯的崇拜场景中衍生出费城画中的人物;他可能有机会获得这个周期的准备图纸，该周期于 1520 年至 1530 年间在布鲁塞尔编织。它们重新出现在现在的图纸中，通过范奥利的画作（或它的另一个版本或副本）过滤，并进行了各种其他修改。例如，在这里，圣婴伸出的手臂不是伸向鞠躬法师的头，而是呈现给他的箱子里的东西。这幅画很可能是未实现或尚未识别的挂毯的设计。这将解释构图的方向，在编织时会被颠倒（因此又回到范奥利画作的方向）。在广泛的背景中，大量的附属人物和情节细节——所有这些都与 1530 年代范·奥利设计后可能编织的挂毯的精简构图形成鲜明对比（参见14.40.706）——将使它成为一项雄心勃勃的事业。（JSS， 8/23/2018）
介绍（英）	This drawing of the Adoration of the Magi closely recalls treatments of the theme by painter and tapestry designer Bernard van Orley, in particular his picture from the early 1520s in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which features the same broken column and very similarly posed principal figures, largely in reverse. As scholars have long noted, Van Orley derived the figures in the Philadelphia painting from the Adoration scene in the Scuola Nuova tapestries in the Vatican; he probably had access to the preparatory drawings for this cycle, which was woven in Brussels between 1520 and 1530. They reappear in the present drawing as filtered through Van Orley’s painting (or another version or copy of it) and with various other modifications. Here, for example, the Christ Child’s outstretched arms reach not for the head of the bowing magus but for the contents of the chest presented to him. The drawing could well be a design for an unrealized or an as-yet unidentified tapestry. This would explain the orientation of the composition, which would have been reversed (and therefore returned to that of the Van Orley painting) when woven. The multitude of subsidiary figures and episodic detail in the extensive background—all in stark contrast to the pared down composition of a tapestry possibly woven after Van Orley’s designs in the 1530s (see 14.40.706)—would have made it a highly ambitious undertaking.
