Here's Caravaggio's response to the slavish copying of the classics.
这就是卡瓦拉乔对古典作品泛滥模仿的一种回应。
Would men but generously snap our chains, and be content with rational fellowship, instead of slavish obedience, they would find us more observant daughters, more affectionate sisters, more faithful wives, more reasonable mothers — in a word, better citizens.
如果男慷慨地挣断我们的锁链,并满足于理性的团契,而不是奴性的服从,他们会发现我们是更细心的女儿、更深情的姐妹、更忠实的妻子、更通情理的母亲——总而言之,我们是更好的公民。
