介绍（中）	这两幅大型水彩画代表了挂毯边界右侧和左侧的设计。它们由Franz（Francis）Cleyn为Mortlake制造厂设计，用于制作著名的《使徒行传》挂毯，这些挂毯是根据拉斐尔设计的原始漫画创作的，当时查尔斯国王还是威尔士亲王（七幅幸存下来，现藏于伦敦维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆）。边界的设计规模缩小了，但设计得非常详细。装饰物由卡通图案组成，其中《旧约》和《新约》中的各种场景都用青铜和橙色色调描绘，可能是为了模拟客串。大多数场景与完成的挂毯相对应，但有些场景被赋予了新的位置，或者被全部替换。在卡通画之间，普提举着带有象征性意象的盾徽。框架的角落装饰着四位福音传道者的标志，伴随着普提举起书籍。画中的人物暴露了著名佛兰德艺术家安东尼·范戴克爵士和彼得·保罗·鲁本斯的影响，卡通图案反映了意大利版画家阿戈斯蒂诺·米泰利等艺术家出版的流行的当代装饰版画据推测，这些图纸是在挂毯制作之前展示给国王查理一世批准的展示图。事实上，国王查理一世拥有一套挂毯，这些挂毯是在1626年至1636年间编织的，最终在他死后出售。它们是由法国国务大臣阿贝尔·塞尔维恩购买的。1659年，它们被红衣主教马扎林收购，随后进入路易十四国王的皇家收藏。这些边界是为之设计的挂毯在国家动员组织中保留至今 Franz Cleyn被认为是17世纪上半叶在英国工作的最重要的艺术家之一，并在英国宫廷艺术家链中形成了一个纽带，从年轻的汉斯·霍尔拜因（Hans Holbein the Younger）、伊尼戈·琼斯（Inigo Jones）到詹姆斯·桑希尔（James Thornhill），他的职业生涯在君主制得到修复后蓬勃发展。虽然克莱恩为一系列媒体设计，但他最为人所知的是莫特莱克工厂的挂毯设计师。即使在英联邦统治下，他仍然与莫特莱克保持着联系。
介绍（英）	These two large watercolors represent the design for the right and left side of the border of a tapestry. They were designed by Franz (Francis) Cleyn for the Mortlake Manufactory to frame the famous ‘Acts of the Apostles’ tapestries, created after the original cartoons designed by Raphael which had been purchased by King Charles while still Prince of Wales (seven survive and are now at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London). The designs for the border are at reduced scale, but they are worked out in great detail. The decorations consist of cartouches in which various scenes from the Old and New Testament have been depicted in bronze and orange tones, possibly to simulate cameos. Most scenes correspond with the finished tapestry, but some have been given a new location or were replaced all together. In between the cartouches, putti are depicted holding up coats of arms with symbolic imagery. The corner of the frame are decorated with the symbols of the Four Evangelists, accompanied by putti holding up books. The figures in the drawings betray the influence of the celebrated Flemish artists Sir Anthony Van Dyck and Peter Paul Rubens, and the cartouche designs reflect popular contemporary ornament prints, published by artists such as the Italian printmaker Agostino Mitelli. It is presumed that these drawings functioned as presentation drawings, shown to King Charles I for his approval, prior to the production of the tapestries. Indeed, King Charles I owned a set of the tapestries, which were woven between 1626 and 1636 and eventually sold after his death. They were purchased by the French minster of state Abel Servien. In 1659, they were acquired by Cardinal Mazarin, and subsequently entered the Royal Collection under King Louis XIV. The tapestry for which these borders were designed survives to this day in the Mobilier National. Franz Cleyn is considered one of the most significant artists working in England in the first half of the seventeenth century, and forms a link in the chain of British court artists from Hans Holbein the Younger and Inigo Jones to James Thornhill, whose career flourished after the reparation of the monarchy. While Cleyn designed for a range of media, he is best known as the designer of tapestries for the factory at Mortlake. He retained his association with Mortlake even under the Commonwealth.
