Chapter 1538: Apollo
Continuing down the steps, following the oil on canvas by Dürer, the most famous German painter during the Renaissance, another outstanding work by a Renaissance master appeared in front of Ye Tian.
This is also an oil painting on canvas, classicist style, medium size, about 100*80, from the famous Italian painter during the Renaissance, Sato, known as the perfect painter.
After the three masters of Renaissance art left Florence, Sato became the most famous painter in Florence. He is well-known throughout Europe and has an extremely important position in the history of Western art.
Moreover, this classicist oil painting is one of the representative works of Sato's peak period. It is naturally a top art of pricelessness, and its value is even higher than that of Rubens's portrait!
Like the other paintings I have seen before, this oil painting is also covered under the glass cover. The glass cover is covered with dust and looks a little black. The preservation condition is not bad.
After standing in front of this classicist oil painting, Ye Tian gently wiped the dust off the glass cover with a soft cloth, and then he admired it with intoxication.
While admiring this painting, he also briefly explained this classicist oil painting.
He mainly introduced the artistic style, life deeds, representative works of the "perfect painter" Sato, and his position in Western art history, and commented on the content of the painting.
However, he did not disclose the value of this painting in the current art market, which people are most concerned about before the live broadcast, which intentionally dangles people's appetite.
This leaves room for the professionals and semi-professionals, and pseudo-professionals in front of the live broadcast. Those guys jumped out and started to perform separately.
He hasn't finished the explanation yet. Someone on the Internet has already given the valuation of Sato's painting, one by one, the valuation ranges from several million US dollars to hundreds of millions of US dollars, and the span is very large!
After admiring this outstanding painting by Sato, he went down a few steps, and Ye Tian walked down the steps and stood on the granite floor of this underground chamber.
At this time, Martinez was still in the middle of the steps, admiring the outstanding paintings of the artist Dürer with all his face, almost forgot where he was and what he was doing!
Walker and Miller also stayed in the middle of the steps. The two were collaborating with each other, busy arranging wires and installing lighting equipment.
As the energy-saving lamps light up one after another, this underground secret room that has been shrouded in darkness for more than two hundred years suddenly becomes brighter, and everyone's vision becomes clearer.
The live broadcast picture also became clearer, and it attracted a burst of exclamation.
Before Martinez and the others came down, Ye Tian quickly scanned the entire hall, and secretly opened the perspective, thoroughly viewing this hidden space buried underground for more than two hundred years.
In the process, he saw a lot of top antique artworks radiating dazzling light, some hanging on the walls and marble pillars, and some packed in boxes!
But without exception, every antique artwork here has more than ten or twenty layers of charming halo, which is extremely beautiful!
What do those charming halos mean? Ye Tian felt like a mirror in his heart.
It is those fascinating halos that accurately show the value of these top antique artworks, and the value of each antique artwork is amazing.
Although he has seen through several times before and knows these top antique works of art, Ye Tian is still excited when he sees these treasures again now, and he can't help cheering directly!
In addition to many high-value antique artworks, he also saw a small secret room located under the floor in a corner of the hall.
What is stored in that secret room is mainly some important documents, which are well preserved and have high historical and cultural research value, and it may even rewrite part of history.
In addition, there are some small organ traps, most of which have been scrapped, and the few remaining do not pose any threat to Ye Tian, let alone stop them from exploring.
Then he withdrew his gaze, ended the perspective, and turned around, and began to admire a sculpture placed behind him with great interest.
Soon, Martinez and the others went down the steps.
"Steven, this sculpture of Apollo, the sun god, looks very good. It is obviously a top-level work of art. Do you know that this is the work of the master sculptor? Tell everyone about it!"
With that said, Martinez came to Ye Tian and admired the sculpture in front of him with him.
This is a bust sculpture of the sun **** Apollo. It is not big and is placed on a stone platform close to the wall. There is a layer of dust on the statue, but it does not affect the appreciation.
It can be seen that this marble-shaped sun **** Apollo has a dignified and majestic appearance, sharp edges and corners, and a handsome face, with long curly hair hanging on his shoulders, gently floating in the wind.
He wears a crown woven with laurel, Eros wood, and olive branches and leaves on his head. The lower jaw is slightly raised, and he turns to stare at the front left, his eyes firm and persistent.
The sculptor used the carving knife in his hand to display the sun **** Apollo, the most versatile, beautiful and handsome male **** in Greek mythology, to the fullest, almost perfect!
Standing in front of this sculpture, people are easily attracted by it and fascinated by the beauty of classics!
Ye Tian turned to look at Martinez, then smiled and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, this bust sculpture of the sun **** Apollo should be made by the famous Italian sculptor Cellini during the Renaissance and is one of his representative works.
On this sculpture of the sun god, we can see the shadow of Michelangelo and the concrete manifestation of Florentine Mannerism. These are the characteristics of Cellini's sculptures.
In addition, we can also see the dismissive heroism of Florentine Mannerism, and this is the most distinctive feature that distinguishes Cellini from other Florentine Mannerist artists.
It is based on the above characteristics that I judged that this is a sculpture by the artist Cellini. Of course, my appraisal conclusion may not be accurate. You can discuss it later.
In addition to the bust sculpture of the sun **** Apollo, there is also a bust sculpture under the steps on the left, which is also placed on a stone platform. The sculpture is the **** of fire Prometheus.
That sculpture is also very vivid, but which sculptor actually came from is not known for the time being. According to my judgment, it seems to be the work of the artist Donatello, but it is not certain! "
Hearing these words, Martinez couldn't bear it anymore, and the old guy hugged his head and exclaimed.
"God! I heard that right? Under the steps on the right is the sculpture of Cellini's sun **** Apollo, and under the steps on the left is the sculpture of Donatello's Vulcan Prometheus. Is this the Temple of Zeus?
Steven, I now believe what you said before. The top antique artworks in Napoleon’s treasures are not inferior to or even far beyond those in the Louvre Grand Gallery! "
Not only Martinez, many professionals in front of the live broadcast also exclaimed at this time, and they were almost crazy with envy.
Who are Donatello and Cellini? That was the top art master of the Italian Renaissance, and a famous heavyweight in the history of Western art!
Their status and achievements in the field of sculpture, in the Renaissance, and even in the following hundreds of years, I am afraid that only Michelangelo can stabilize them, Rodin may be one!
As for the other famous sculptors later, they can only look back and worship, including the famous modern sculptor Giacometti and others.
Isn’t it shocking that the works of this top sculptor appeared in this secret room at the same time, and all fell into the hands of that **** Steven? Can you not make people enviously crazy?
After exclaiming for a while, Martinez immediately stepped forward and got close to the bust of Apollo, the sun god, and began to carefully wipe the dust on it, muttering to himself.
"I want to admire this Cellini's masterpiece, and then I will admire Donatello's Vulcan Prometheus. Today is so beautiful, all this is just like a dream!"
Martinez had no doubts about the identification conclusion given by Ye Tian.
Since Steven said that this is the work of the sculptor Cellini, it must be true. This is 100% Cellini's masterpiece, and it is a top-notch artwork of invaluable value.
When did that guy look past his eyes, not once, and this time is no exception!
Not only him, but almost everyone on the live broadcast side are also very sure of Ye Tian's judgment, without any doubt!
As for his self-effacement, no one took it seriously, and no one cared about it.
While Martinez took a step forward, Ye Tian took a step back, then turned off the live microphone, and began to arrange tasks through the wireless invisible headset.
"Matis, you can lead our staff into the secret tunnel, first deal with the traps in the secret tunnel that have been cracked by me, and remove all hidden safety hazards.
After dealing with the traps ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, let the guys stand by. When we finish the exploration work, they can enter the underground secret room to clean up the antique art here!
The treasure of Napoleon has reappeared in the world. Without even thinking about it, there must be a huge wave from the outside world. You must pay attention to security issues. There will be absolutely no mistakes!
If necessary, you can ask the US ambassador to France, Perry, to involve the embassy security staff. With the weight of these top antique artworks, the embassy will never sit back and watch!
In addition to the U.S. Embassy in France, you can also contact the guy Wilson, ask Raytheon to provide support, and send some armed security guards over. I said hello to Wilson before"
"Understood, Steven, leave these things to us, there won't be any problems!"
Matisse replied in a deep voice, his voice decisive and confident.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian told Anderson and Kenny, who was far away in Le Havre, something to make various preparations, just in case!
