这幅画的作者是桑德罗·波提切利，
他是文艺复兴时期的意大利画家。
他把画中两个人物这样构图的意图是什么？
为什么画中天使周围的建筑物角度如此夸张？
在这幅画中，伦勃朗为什么笑？
他在笑什么？
是笑他自己，还是人生？
抑或是笑我们这些凡夫俗子？
这封信里写了什么？
我们想一探究竟。
我是Alejandro Vergara。
我是Jennifer Calles。
我们在西班牙卡洛斯三世大学
邀请你一起来探索欧洲绘画史。
艺术能触动心灵，滋养灵魂。
每年都有无数人参观世界各地的知名博物馆，
比如马德里的普拉多博物馆。
但漫步博物馆时，我们有时会感到迷失。

English: 
This was painted by Botticelli, an Italian painter from the Renaissance.
What does he mean by positioning the two figures the way he does
and why did he paint the architecture around the angel
in such exaggerated angles?
And in this picture, why is Rembrandt laughing?
What is he laughing about?
About himself? About life?
Is he laughing at us?
What is the message in this letter?
We feel like we would like to know.
I am Alejandro Vergara.
I am Jennifer Calles.
From the Carlos III University in Madrid we invite you
to explore with us the history of European paintings.
Art moves us, it feeds our souls.
Large numbers of people visit the world's great museums,
such as this, the Museo del Prado in Madrid,
but we can feel lost in them.

我们需要一定的点拨，才能真正看懂画作，
了解画家为何创作，如何创作，
了解画家的故事，以及画作诞生的时间和地点。
我们将在课上欣赏许多赏心悦目的画作。
也有些令人不适，或使人倍感亲切，或高雅脱俗。
在这门课上，我们的目标只有一个：
那就是帮助你了解这些画作，
让你能更好地欣赏绘画。
这幅肖像画中有一个小孩。
乍看之下，这幅画轻快怡人，
和我们常见的小男孩肖像画并无两样。
但再仔细一看，画中有些奇怪的现象。
为什么这幅肖像画中该会出现这些动物？
它们表情十分吓人。
这幅画出自戈雅之手。
他在八十高龄时，依然在孜孜不倦地学习。
我们也应该抱有这份学习的好奇心。
艺术学习，前路漫漫。

English: 
We need help to understand paintings,
to learn why and when and how they were painted,
to know about their authors and the times and places where they were made.
In this course we will see many beautiful images.
We will also see some that are troubling or intimate or elegant.
Our goal is simple: we want to help you understand them better
so you can enjoy them more.
In this portrait we can see a child.
At first sight it seems like a pleasant image,
what we would expect in a portrait of a young boy.
But then we see something strange.
Why are these animals in the portrait?
They seem menacing.
This painting is by Goya,
an artist who at age eighty wrote that he was still learning.
We share his curiosity.
We have a lot to learn from art.
