以世俗题材为主题的艺术作品
Most of them commissioned or created to celebrate
其中大部分是为了庆祝

You probably all know that in general Renaissance marriages
你们可能都知道文艺复兴时期的婚姻
and the establishment of a family didn't have much to do with love
以及家庭的建立基本上与爱情无关
with a societal rather than an individual affair
与其说是个人的私事不如说是社会活动
having to do with families rather than romance
