Chapter 953

When you come to Venice, you must go to the Accademia Art Gallery, which is also a landmark building like St. Mark's Square.

Although Napoleon looted Italian artworks, even the church, at least he didn't demolish the houses like the Austrians, and moved the entire monastery to the Austrian Royal Palace.

The treasure of the Louvre Museum is the Mona Lisa, and the treasure of the gallery of the Venice Academy should theoretically be the work of Titian. After all, Titian is a well-known representative of the Venetian School of Painting.

However, Pomona went to see Da Vinci's works. Da Vinci's manuscript Vitruvian Man is collected in the Art Museum of the Venice Academy. Just happened to meet.

The work used by the museum for publicity is the Vitruvian Man, the only advertisement that can be found on the facade of a Venetian building.

If it was placed hundreds of years ago, a nude portrait would not dare to enlarge it and paste it on the outer wall of the building like it is now, but modern people can look at these paintings from the perspective of "art", but this "elegant art" "Instead it lost its appeal.

Compared with the crowded St. Mark's Square, the gallery of the Venice Academy Art Museum was much less crowded and seemed very quiet. Severus had never been interested in this kind of static paintings, even the moving ones on the walls of Hogwarts Castle. I didn't even bother to take a look at the painting. He likes to study spells and magic in his own laboratory. There are more people here than the Golden Palace, and the paintings are more exquisite. Not only the paintings, but even this exhibition hall is a work of art. If you don’t take him out, she It's more comfortable to hang out alone.

Anatomy, like geometry and mathematics, is the basis of painting, which is characteristic of Western painting. It is now in the three-page manuscript in the Royal Library of Windsor. Da Vinci painted eight drawings about skulls, with side views , there are cross-sectional views, as well as views of the skull obliquely from above. The sketches are skillfully drawn, beautifully shaded, mysterious and eerie. Different works choose different angles, some draw the blood vessels of the face, some show the relationship between the eye sockets and the jawbone, and some look down at the cavity of the skull, depicting the nerves and blood vessels in the skull.

One of the skull studies was drawn squarely to scale, and Leonardo wrote on the edge of the painting, "Where the line a-m meets the line c-b, that is where the senses meet." The "communal sense" he specifically emphasized is the "communal sense" that Aristotle once assumed. Da Vinci believed that the "common sense" is the place where the soul is stored.

Da Vinci was left-handed, he could draw with his left hand and write with his right, just like a left-handed artist and right-handed scientist.

If he has a dual personality, it's understandable that he only sleeps for a short amount of time a day. But he was not accused of being possessed by the devil like Justinian. On the contrary, some people doubted his sexual orientation. Even Freud performed psychoanalysis on him, thinking that he portrayed men very thoroughly. Women seldom painted the part below the neck, unlike Titian who loved to paint women without clothes.

Tobias Snape is actually a Da Vinci-type person. He has multiple talents and can learn everything quickly, but he can't adapt to deep learning.

Da Vinci people are often full of enthusiasm when they first devote themselves to a new field. After mastering the basic skills, the previous motivation gradually disappears.

Tobias kept changing his goals, jobs, and hobbies. Just like what Severus said, Tobias didn't like everything that much, but he was really enthusiastic at the beginning. It is difficult for people to adapt to the modern society's demand for talents who specialize in a certain industry. Severus also likes many things, but his identity is a master of potions, and black magic and alchemy are all ranked behind this identity.

A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to devote time and energy to research on everything, unless his life span is longer than ordinary people, or he spends as little time sleeping as Da Vinci and saves twice as much as others. time.

There are many sculptures and oil paintings similar to Michelangelo's Madonna and Child in the academy gallery, but none of them are as touching as Michelangelo's sculptures.

Pomona has never seen the actual image of the Virgin Mary, but only the photos. Perhaps because of the shooting angle, Maria seemed to her to be crying and laughing at the same time.

This kind of emotion is conflicting and contradictory, and at the same time, it has its own reasons, or it is "reasonable" understood by Michelangelo. Jesus died in martyrdom, and Michelangelo must paint nudes in churches, even if he would punished.

This "sense of commonality" is amazing. Leonardo da Vinci dissected the corpse and displayed what he had learned in front of the world in the form of pictures. What he recorded was a feeling, not what the eyes saw at a certain moment, just A camera is enough for "transcribing".

Just like half-dream and half-awake, it can be felt but hard to describe. Da Vinci’s learning time is when he first wakes up and before going to sleep. Some people say that what a person in this state will do will have a major impact on his perception, as if Given a chance to naturally enter the subconscious, Da Vinci did not do meditation and self-hypnosis exercises, but spontaneously found this way to use his subconscious.

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the works of masters. They half-understood and praised "the painting is really good". "Original work" is good, after all, the secular world also has the ability to appreciate.

Every detail and line is so just right that it is impossible to modify it manually. This kind of work is a masterpiece.

Plato said that a group of cavemen who had never been out of the cave lived in the cave all year round. The only common thing in their eyes was their own shadow, so they thought that the only thing that existed in the world was these shadows. The subject of early Christian paintings Single, the building is also old-fashioned.

Those who come into contact with the ancient Greek and Roman texts are equivalent to those who have come out of the cave. They saw the world outside is so dazzling, so they returned to the cave, determined to persuade those who watched the shadows to come to the bright and beautiful world.

In Plato's story, none of the companions believed his statement, and pointed to the shadows and said that there was nothing else in the world except these shadows, and finally they killed this strange companion.

In another story, the companions believed his words, followed him out of the cave, and saw a colorful world. They transcended the superficial phenomena presented by the sensory world they saw at any time, and explored the real and eternal reality behind it. Ideas" world.

Only ideas are real, eternal, and truly worth pursuing.

Socrates' theory of the soul holds that only the soul can communicate the real world and the ideal world, and only the immortal soul can understand the immortal ideal world.

In a certain sense, a ghost is a soul that has lost its body. Peeves used to be a human being. After seeing his soul leave his body, people believed what he said. The black wizard really came to attack.

People who don't believe in ghosts and gods don't believe in the existence of souls, and if they don't believe in souls, they can't communicate with the world of ideas, and "high art" can't be understood.

He may still be sighing in his heart, those paintings are not as realistic as photos.

Anatomy and mathematics will make the paintings more accurate, but they cannot record the "common sense" and abandon the "common sense" of the soul. Such paintings lack appeal.

"Are you Linda Smith?"

Just when she was concentrating on looking at the portrait of Vitruvian Man, she suddenly heard someone call her name, she turned around and saw that it was Yuki Nakamura who had met once.

"Miss Nakamura."

"What a coincidence, are you alone?"

"My husband doesn't like art exhibitions that much. Are you alone?"

"I'm here to see Vitruvian Man." Nakamura Xue raised the brochure in his hand, "Would you mind having one more company?"

"Of course not." She said with a smile, "In fact, shopping is also a kind of appreciation of beauty, and men don't have that patience."

"You mean we're shopping?" Nakamura Yuki looked at Pomona with widened eyes in surprise.

"what you think?"

Nakamura Yuki tilted her head, lost in thought.

The solar eclipse of the summer solstice feels so magical
