Chapter 1687: 500 years of secrets
As far as he could see, the legendary Da Vinci painting, "The Three Doctors Came to the Kingdom", was instantly seen by Ye Tian, from the outside to the inside.
On the surface of this painting, he saw a lot of botched traces of revisions, as well as pigments that did not match the original painting period, with a difference of nearly 140 years.
The application of these paints is rough and unprofessional, which is far from the fame of Leonardo da Vinci, and the traces of this smear spread all over the painting.
If you don't observe and identify it carefully, people will easily think that this is a forgery, not an authentic piece of Leonardo.
In fact, in the history of Western art, many people think so.
Fortunately, after entering the modern age, through a series of high-tech means of testing, these doubts were eliminated and it was confirmed that the painting was indeed the real Leonardo.
It is these clumsy traces of revisions that just confirm some important research conclusions.
When creating this "Three Doctors Coming to Dynasty", Leonardo made some revolutionary changes in his creative techniques, distinguishing him from all other paintings of the same name, making him unique.
This also includes the "Three Masters Coming to the Kingdom" created by Botticelli in 1475, which is also housed in the Uffizi Gallery and displayed in the exhibition hall of the Florentine School in the 15th century.
However, this revolutionary change by Leonardo was not accepted by conservative priests.
The priests who commissioned him to create this painting looked forward to Leonardo’s wonderful display of traditional pictures celebrating the birth of Jesus, but Leonardo went against the expectations of the priests.
The chaotic and ugly figures around the Virgin and Child have already made people feel uneasy. Leonardo actually painted a scene of a fierce battle in this painting, which is unheard of.
Seeing the manuscript drawn by Leonardo da Vinci, how could the priests accept such a rebellious "Three Doctors"?
As a result, the rebellious Leonardo gave up the creation of this painting, and this unfinished work was also abandoned in a leaky warehouse, no one cared about.
Many years later, when Da Vinci's works became popular in the art market and became valuable best sellers, they were remembered by people again, and they were cleaned up.
An anonymous poor artist modified the manuscript without authorization and painted it with paint, turning it into a better-selling classic religious painting, but Leonardo’s true conception was hidden under heavy paint.
While performing the perspective in secret, Ye Tianqinglang's voice still echoed in the exhibition hall, constantly reaching everyone on the scene.
"...Speaking of Leonardo's self-portrait in the painting, Leonardo's way of showing his self-image here is almost exactly the same as Botticelli's expression in the painting of the same name.
Since you have come to the Uffizi Gallery, you must have visited the painting "The Three Doctors' Coming to the Kingdom" created by Botticelli in 1475, displayed in the Florentine School exhibition hall in the 15th century.
In that painting, there is a young man with his body turned outside. It is believed to be a self-portrait of Botticelli, almost identical to the position of Leonardo in this painting.
Because the time of the tempera painting was earlier, it is obvious that Da Vinci had seen that painting and used it for reference. Why did he do this? It is still a mystery.
Next, let's analyze this painting from the perspective of religion. First of all, I want to declare that I am an atheist, and I just want to talk about things, so please don't make random associations! "
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded lightly, with no objection.
At the same time, everyone secretly admired it.
Steven this guy is really cautious to the extreme, there are no loopholes to catch at all, it's no wonder that he can be mixed up, it is really not for nothing.
After a short pause, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again.
"Presumably everyone can see that in Leonardo da Vinci's "The Three Doctors", the image of **** father Joseph is not visible. This is a huge question that has plagued people for more than five hundred years.
In the story of ‘Three Doctors’ Coming to Dynasty’, Joseph is a very basic element, and the other elements basically appear in this painting, but the lack of the image of Joseph is puzzling.
This has never happened before in the paintings of the same name created by other artists, but Leonardo da Vinci always excluded Joseph from the Holy Family, and the same is true of "Our Lady of the Rocks"!
What exactly is this for? No one knows the answer, maybe only Leonardo knows it. Here, I don't pretend to be guessing, maybe one day someone can solve this secret.
In this Leonardo da Vinci's "Three Doctors Coming to the Kingdom", there are several details that are somewhat religious and worthy of careful contemplation. One of them is the tree in the center of the painting.
The roots of the tree meander down, seeming to touch the head of Christ. This is alluding to Isaiah’s prophecy, ‘Jesse’s trunk will grow a branch, and his root will grow into a branch’
The dilapidated stone building in the painting has been overgrown with bushes. The dilapidated house is a symbol that often appears in paintings. It alludes to the destroyed ‘David’s house’, and the birth of Christ will restore it,..."
In the process of explaining, Ye Tian's vision had already penetrated the surface of the painting and saw deeper secrets.
When his gaze penetrated the surface of the painting and saw the content hidden underneath, the surprise finally appeared, and he almost cheered for it.
Under the inferior paint that was later applied on the surface of the painting, there was a smudged lead-white layer, which is evidence of the second draft.
Below this lead-white layer is Leonardo’s original draft and the original appearance of the "Three Doctors".
In the original manuscript, Ye Tian clearly saw Leonardo’s self-portrait at the age of twenty-nine. The surface is much clearer than the painting, the figure is fuller and more vivid, and the lines are smoother.
In the painting visible to the naked eye, the two fierce horses are fighting together. Under perspective, there are two more medieval knights on the horseback, and the two sides are fighting fiercely.
This scene of fighting is precisely one of the main reasons why Leonardo da Vinci's "The Three Doctors" was rejected by conservative priests and regarded it as one of the main reasons for the great rebellion.
Compared with the surface of the painting visible to the naked eye, under perspective, Ye Tian saw more figures. Thirty new figures appeared around **** and the Virgin Mary.
A group of masons seemed to be renovating a church, which seemed to symbolize the reconstruction of their homes after the war.
And there is a picture in this work. On the far horizon of the painting, there is a lonely and leisurely elephant. This is another puzzling riddle left by Leonardo!
Although these findings are surprising, they are not new.
Just less than ten years ago, someone had discovered these secrets using infrared scanning technology, which caused a huge sensation at the time.
The discovery that really surprised Ye Tian and almost cheered for him, of course it wasn't that.
In Leonardo’s original manuscript, he once again saw a few mysterious characters and a set of Fibonacci numbers, which were different from what he saw in the Mona Lisa and Our Lady of the Rocks .
These mysterious characters and the Fibonacci sequence are hidden in different places and are extremely difficult to be discovered.
There are four mysterious characters, two of which are the initials of Leonardo da Vinci, and the meaning of the other two characters is unknown. They are hidden between the bricks at the bottom of the church.
The newly-appearing group of Fibonacci numbers are hidden in different positions in this painting, and each position is very hidden.
After a quick scan of these mysterious characters and Fibonacci sequence, and keeping them in mind, Ye Tian began to think about their meaning in secret ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ before the combination in "Mona Lisa" and "In the Rock" He boldly gave a speculation on the discovery of the two Da Vinci paintings of the Virgin.
The combination of those mysterious characters may be a place name, or a clue to a treasure somewhere, and the Fibonacci sequence may be a string of passwords to unlock the treasure.
As for what is in this treasure, it is not known whether Leonardo da Vinci personally buried it. Only the moment the treasure is found can solve this five-hundred-year-old riddle.
While seeing Da Vinci's original manuscript, as well as the mysterious characters and Fibonacci sequence, Ye Tian also saw the poplar board under the manuscript, the diaphragm behind it, and so on.
Even the wall behind this painting, and the exhibition hall on the other side of the wall, were seen by him thoroughly and at a glance!
His clear voice still kept echoing in the exhibition hall.
"After Leonardo left Florence, this "The Three Doctors" disappeared from people's sight. It was not until the beginning of the seventeenth century that it reappeared in the collection of the Medici family..."
