虽然这座意大利中部城市以文艺复兴时期的绘画闻名，但弗里克收藏馆呈现了一组令人惊叹的同期锡耶纳青铜作品。
Though the central Italian city is best known for its Renaissance paintings, the Frick Collection presents an astonishing collection of Sienese bronzes from the same period.

纽约弗里克收藏馆 “文艺复兴雕塑”这一短语通常会让人回想起佛罗伦萨之行，以及与多纳泰罗、吉贝尔蒂和米开朗基罗作品的难忘邂逅。提到锡耶纳，则会引来关于杜乔、西莫内·马蒂尼和洛伦泽蒂兄弟绘画的评论，以及对2024年大都会艺术博物馆盛大展览《锡耶纳：绘画的崛起》的热烈回忆。至于雕塑？恐怕鲜有人提及。
The Frick New York The phrase “Renaissance sculpture” usually provokes reminiscences about visits to Florence and memorable encounters with works by Donatello, Ghiberti and Michelangelo. Mentioning Siena elicits comments about paintings by Duccio, Simone Martini and the Lorenzetti brothers, and enthusiastic memories of the splendid exhibition “Siena: The Rise of Painting” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2024. About sculpture? Probably not.
然而，凡亲眼目睹过锡耶纳主教座堂高祭坛的人都知道，那里陈列着引人注目的青铜天使雕像和一座宏大的圣体龛，饰以生动的人物形象；附近的一座小堂还供奉着一尊超乎寻常大小的施洗者圣约翰像；其他锡耶纳教堂也拥有类似的珍宝。
Yet anyone who has faced the high altar of the Cathedral of Siena knows that it is loaded with arresting bronze sculptures of angels and a monumental container for the Host, embellished with lively figures, while a nearby chapel boasts a larger-than-life St. John the Baptist; other Sienese churches have similar wealth.
