凡尔登的尼古拉斯(Nicholas of Verdun)高清作品《金星宝石，一世纪前耶稣基督》

作品名：金星宝石，一世纪前耶稣基督

艺术家：凡尔登的尼古拉斯

年代：c.1200

风格：莫桑艺术

类型：神话画

在神龛中心的梯形面板左侧和右侧设置了两个巨大的古代宝石。他们过去使用托勒密CAMEO，它在1574被偷走，现在在维也纳。这幅描绘金星和火星的凹版画在左手边，在基督教的神龛上似乎有些不合适，直到有人认为这些珍贵的宝石由于它们的价值而镶嵌在神龛中。在这些宝石中描绘的场景或人物是不重要的，或者被重新解释为适合基督教信仰。这种古老的艺术作品常常是中世纪艺术家的楷模。神龛前戴的法师穿着的长袍是仿照金星在这个凹版中穿的衣服而设计的。

Title:Venus Gem, 1st Century before Christ

artist:Nicholas of Verdun

Date:c.1200

Style:Mosan art

Genre:mythological painting

Two large ancient gems have been set on the left- and right-hand sides of the trapezoidal panel in the centre of the shrine. They used to flank the Ptolemy Cameo, which was stolen in 1574 and is now in Vienna. The intaglio depicting Venus and Mars on the left-hand side may seem somewhat out of place on a Christian shrine until one considers that such precious gems were set in reliquaries because of their value. The scene or person depicted in these gems was either of little importance or was re-interpreted to fit Christian beliefs. Such ancient works of art often served as a template for medieval artists. The design of the robes worn by the Magi on the front of the shrine were modelled on the garments worn by Venus in this intaglio.
