Chapter 1715: Secrets hidden on the wall

Ye Tian's professional explanation continued, and the clear voice reverberated in this dim hall, constantly in the ears of everyone at the scene.

"The central focus of this oil painting is on Jesus' bright forehead. Unlike other paintings of the same name, there is no sacred halo on Jesus' head, which is clearly intended by Leonardo.

However, he cleverly used the bright light projected from the three windows behind and a peaceful exterior scene to give **** a very natural aura, which can be called a pioneering work.

Another focus of the painting is Judas, the fourth traitor from the left. When he heard what **** said, he immediately fell into a panic, his face full of panic and anxiety.

He leaned back involuntarily, his elbow knocked down the salt shaker on the dining table, but he still held the money bag tightly in his hand, and never relaxed for a moment, showing how greedy he was.

The handsome man on the right hand side of **** is Saint John. In other paintings of the same name, Saint John generally leans against Jesus' arms to show Jesus' love for him.

But under Da Vinci's brush, St. John tilted his body to the other side, seeming to be listening to what Simon Peter said, his expression was quite focused, this is another special place.

There is also such a saying that this handsome figure is not Saint John, but Mary Magdalene. In the book "The Da Vinci Code", she is Jesus' companion.

Between Mary Magdalene and Jesus, there is a V-shaped gap. According to Dan Brown's interpretation, this gap means the Holy Grail. Of course, the credibility of this statement is not high! ..."

Following Ye Tian's explanation, the eyes of everyone on the scene also moved, wandering around on this masterpiece of Da Vinci, admiring every detail.

Even Camilo and the two commentators who were very familiar with this mural were completely attracted by Ye Tian's professional explanation, and they had a new understanding of this mural.

In the process of explaining, Ye Tian had already secretly turned on perspective, exploring the secrets hidden on this mural and hidden behind it.

As far as he could see, the Da Vinci masterpiece a few meters in front was immediately seen through, and there was no more secret.

Even the ancient wall carrying this mural was seen through by him, and he saw the situation behind the wall directly.

In the "Last Supper" in front of him, Ye Tian saw oils and paints from different eras, and the brushstrokes layered over and over, radiating dazzling light of different shades.

Obviously, this is the trace left by painters of all ages on this mural. They tried their best to preserve this masterpiece of Da Vinci, and let it continue to bloom with bright and charming artistic charm.

If it weren't, this "Last Supper" would have fallen apart and vanished!

Judging from the intensity of the light, the time that these oil paints and brushstrokes appeared on this mural has spanned more than five hundred years!

There were a total of seven large-scale restorations, leaving large traces of restoration, from seven different eras, the most recent one was in 1977.

As for small-scale, partial repairs, there are countless, the earliest traces of repairs can even be traced back to around 1520.

In other words, not long after Leonardo's death, the restoration of "The Last Supper" has kicked off, and it has continued for more than five hundred years.

The reason for this is that when Leonardo created "The Last Supper", he used the technique of oil painting instead of the technique of mural painting.

On the surface of this painting, Ye Tian hardly saw the brushstrokes left by Leonardo da Vinci, as well as the oil paints and paints he used at the time. These things had already been covered underneath.

Of course, all later painters repaired on the basis of Da Vinci, and they were extremely careful when repairing, basically retaining the original style.

In addition to these repair marks, Ye Tian also saw numerous scars on this world-famous mural.

Among them were those left by the monks in the monastery. They built a door on this wall and directly destroyed the legs of **** and the three disciples on the mural. This was the biggest damage to this mural.

There are also many stone pits of different sizes on the murals, which are mainly distributed near the heads of **** and the twelve disciples.

After Napoleon led the army to invade Italy and occupy Milan, he once used the Vinciano restaurant as a stable for feeding war horses.

When his soldiers were idle, they threw the heads of **** and the twelve disciples in the painting with small stones to see who lost them more accurately. It was fun!

In addition, the bombing during the Second World War also brought certain damage to this famous mural, and some cracks caused by vibration can be seen inside the wall.

Then there are traces left by time erosion, color peeling, paint chapped, etc. The whole mural is covered with dense and small cracks, which is shocking!

Under perspective, Ye Tian's vision easily penetrates the surface of the painting. Through the layers of paint and oil, and through the brushstrokes left by many painters, he can see it more than five hundred years ago.

At this moment, he seemed to see Leonardo standing a few meters away, standing in front of the wall, standing on the scaffolding, holding a paint tray in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, painting intently.

What Leonardo created is the "Last Supper" in front of him, the best masterpiece of all the great scrolls, the crown stone of European art!

Ye Tian saw a lot of things through the magical paintbrush in Da Vinci's hand.

He saw the sadness and pain in Jesus' eyes, the calmness of facing death, the panic and anxiety of Judas, and the anger and doubt of other disciples!

Of course, he also saw Leonardo’s past and present artistic talents, the birth process of this great work of art, and the arrival of a new era in art history!

Like other famous works by Leonardo da Vinci~www.wuxiaspot.com~, there are many secrets hidden in the mural of The Last Supper!

The first is a small hole in the center of the fresco. It is the shadow of the entire fresco. It is located on the right temple of **** and is very hidden.

Then there are two hidden images of unknown characters, located on top of the draft and covered by the original, that is, picture-in-picture, which is exactly one of Leonardo’s hobbies.

Of the two hidden figures, one is the appearance of a Templar. At the position a little to the right of the picture, in the middle of the picture, is the Virgin Mary with the baby in her arms. The outline is quite clear.

The distant mountains as the background in the original work, combined with these two hidden figures, seem to become the crowns of both of them.

Obviously, this is not an accidental coincidence, but Da Vinci deliberately did it. It is a secret he hides in this mural.

However, no one knows what the secret is and what it is related to. Ye Tian is the same. He is confused. Perhaps only Leonardo can give an accurate explanation.

The mysterious characters and Fibonacci sequence that appeared in Da Vinci's works such as "Mona Lisa", "Our Lady of the Rocks", "The Three Masters" and so on, reappear in my eyes.

Of course, this is another batch of new mysterious characters and Fibonacci numbers, distributed in different places in the painting, such as the placket of Jesus. They are very hidden and almost impossible to detect!

Although modern technology is very advanced, it can be the most thorough scan of "The Last Supper", but the preservation of this mural is a problem, and it can't stand the toss.

Under this circumstance, the secrets hidden in the murals may never be discovered by people, and will remain silent forever, only Ye Tian knows!

In addition to mysterious characters and Fibonacci numbers, Ye Tian also discovered Leonardo’s initials, the capital ‘LV’, hidden in the gap between **** and Saint John.

It seems that Leonardo also wanted to have a place on this famous dining table, so he hid his initials in the biggest gap on the screen!

As for the identity of St. John, whether he was St. John or Mary Magdalene, Ye Tian did not find an accurate answer, and he was still at a loss!

Does the V-shaped gap between Saint John and **** mean the Holy Grail? He also did not find enough evidence to prove this claim.

In addition, he also found some mysterious signs, symbols and images with unknown meaning ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ can only write them down one by one, and do research later!

In a blink of an eye, the secrets hidden in the mural of "The Last Supper" have been seen thoroughly by Ye Tian and firmly in his heart.

However, he did not withdraw his sight and end the perspective!

His gaze swept to the ground again, and he began to explore the depths of the ground to see if there were any secrets hidden in the ground.

It is a pity that although he found a secret passage seven or eight meters underground, the secret passage has long been abandoned, and the inside is empty, as if it had been cleaned up!

The secret path is located in the section directly below the wall where "The Last Supper" is located, and it is even more blocked, filled with masonry and rubble, there is no gap!

Obviously, the priests of the Church of St. Mary’s Thanksgiving have long discovered this secret passage, and in order to protect the "Last Supper" above, they directly chose to landfill it.

After exploring the deep underground situation, Ye Tian retracted his gaze and ended the perspective.

At this time, his explanation has come to an end.

"... "The Last Supper" not only marks the peak of Leonardo's artistic achievements, but also the maturity and greatness of Renaissance art creation.

This painting achieves the correctness of the sketch and the accuracy of observation of things, so that people can truly feel the corner of the real world.

In the composition processing, this painting has also made great achievements. The combination of the characters forms a beautiful pattern, and the picture has a relaxed and natural balance and harmony.

More importantly, Da Vinci creatively returned the creation of the sacrament theme to the cultural original meaning of the historical source, thus giving the work the vitality and historical significance of the creation.
