Chapter 1745: Origin of privilege

At about 11:30, after admiring the many top antique artworks displayed in the other exhibition halls, Ye Tian and his party came to the door of the last exhibition hall of the Vatican Museum and prepared to enter it.

This last exhibition hall is the famous Sistine Chapel, a great hall of painting art.

The Sistine Chapel was founded in 1445 and was initiated by Pope Sistus IV at the time. The name ‘Sistine’ of the church is derived from the pope’s name ‘Sistus’ at the time.

The church is over forty meters long, 13 meters wide, and about 18 meters high. The architectural form is based on the Solomon Temple described in Chapter 6 of the Book of Kings, and is proportional (60:20:30) Built.

In the Western world, in the eyes of all Christian believers, the Sistine Chapel is extremely important and can be called a holy place!

Because this is not only the private hall of the pope, but also the place where the pope election ceremony is held.

In other words, since this church was completed and confirmed as the venue for the pope election ceremonies, successive popes were elected from here, including today's popes.

From the outside, the Sistine Chapel is extremely simple and simple, and it can even be called simple, far from being compared with the magnificent and majestic St. Peter's Basilica, which is very close at hand.

However, the interior of the Sistine Chapel is extremely gorgeous and dazzling. The walls and ceiling of the church are full of exquisite frescoes, almost every one of them is priceless.

The two most famous murals are "Genesis" and "The Last Judgment" by Michelangelo, one of the top three masters of Renaissance art.

These two famous religious themed murals are the two monuments of Michelangelo's painting art and the two most representative works of his life.

It is precisely because Michelangelo created "Genesis" and "The Last Judgment" here that the Sistine Chapel has become famous and well-known!

In addition to the two masterpieces of Michelangelo, there are also murals painted by top Renaissance masters such as Botticelli, Killandeo, and Pell, each of which is extremely exquisite.

In addition, there is a world-famous top-level artwork, which is also related to the Sistine Chapel and is named after the "Sistine".

That is "Our Lady of the Sistine", one of the three greatest Renaissance art masters and one of the two greatest works of the top artist Raphael. It is considered to be comparable to the "Mona Lisa" as an oil on canvas. .

"Our Lady of the Sistine" is an oil painting on canvas created by Raphael around 1513. It is the most outstanding representative of his "Madonna" and one of the greatest works of art in the Renaissance!

Before 1573, "Our Lady of the Sistine" has been preserved and displayed in the Sistine Chapel, hence the name!

It is a pity that this masterpiece of Raphael was later lost from here, and after several rounds, it is now housed in the Dresden Museum in Germany, which is the treasure of that museum.

For art lovers, the Sistine Chapel is a paradise for art. It is a must-see when visiting Rome and it is definitely not to be missed!

As a professional treasure hunter and a top antique art appraisal expert, Ye Tian is naturally the same. It is absolutely impossible to miss the Sistine Chapel and two masterpieces by Michelangelo.

When they walked to the entrance of the Sistine Chapel, everyone saw at a glance the two rows at the door, which were expelling far away. They were all tourists from all over the world waiting to enter the church! ,

Ye Tian raised his eyes and looked over there, then whispered to everyone around him:

"Everyone must remember that after entering the Sistine Chapel, never take out your mobile phone or camera to take pictures. It is not allowed and will cause damage to the priceless treasures inside."

"Understood, Steven, we know what to do, just like when we saw Leonardo’s masterpiece, "The Last Supper" in Milan"

Anderson continued, and the others nodded one after another.

At the same time, many tourists waiting in line at the entrance of the Sistine Chapel also found Ye Tian and the others, and there was a commotion at the scene.

"Wow! That guy Steven came to visit the Sistine Chapel too, if only he could go in the same batch as them, so he could hear his explanation!

Although I don't like this cruel and greedy guy, I have to admit that he is indeed the top antique art appraisal expert, and he is almost everything!

Just now in the painting hall, I heard his explanation up close. It was very professional, very vivid and unforgettable. I don’t know if there is any chance like this in the future."

"Man, don't even think about it. You don't see where you are. The Sistine Chapel has a very limited number of visitors. When it is your turn to visit, it will take an hour.

Looking at the Vatican priests who accompanied Steven and them on the tour, it is obvious that the fellow Steven enjoys a special courtesy here. There is no need to line up to visit, and he can enter the church at any time."

While talking, Leonardo had led Ye Tian and the others into the VIP passage, and they were about to enter the Sistine Chapel.

Seeing this scene, those tourists who were waiting in line at the entrance of the church, could not bear it, and clamored.

"Why Steven and the others don't have to line up and can go directly into the church to visit? It's not fair!"

"Yes, why do Stevens enjoy the privileges? They should be like everyone, queuing to enter, that's fair, not to mention Stevens is still an atheist"

Hearing these loud noises, Ye Tian immediately stopped and turned to look at the angry tourists.

He had just put a smile on his face, before he had time to react, a senior Vatican priest suddenly said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't feel aggrieved. Listen to my explanation. Mr. Steven is invited to the Vatican. He is a distinguished guest of our museum and enjoys a special courtesy.

The reason why Mr. Steven enjoys a special courtesy, he can enter the church without queuing, the reason is very simple, because he presented two priceless treasures to our museum.

That is Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ". As long as you have visited our painting gallery, you must have seen those two top artworks~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this is The reason why Mr. Steven enjoys the special courtesy, of course, you can also, as long as you donate these two top art works to our museum, you can enjoy this courtesy.

Even if the artwork you donated is not so outstanding and is not a representative work of the three masters of Renaissance art, it does not matter if it is slightly worse, you can still enjoy this privilege.

At that time, all you need to do is to visit the Vatican Museums. You can enter and visit at any time during the opening hours, without queuing at all, and this privilege is valid for life! "

Hearing these words, the many tourists who were waiting in line to enter the church couldn't help but rolled their eyes and were blocked with nothing to say, and they felt a little depressed!

Donated two top art works, and they are representative works of the three masters of Renaissance art. What are you kidding about? Except for the crazy guy Steven, who has such a big deal? Who can afford it?

Thinking of this, everyone at the scene has nothing to say about the special courtesy that Ye Tian and the others enjoy. This is what they deserve, and it is beyond reproach!

Ye Tian looked at the priest who calmed down the argument with admiration, then shrugged triumphantly, spreading his hands to all the visitors on the scene, his expressions and actions were not to mention beating.

Immediately afterwards, he turned and led Betty into the Sistine Chapel, disappearing from the sight of many tourists outside the church.

Behind him, an angry curse immediately sounded.

"Fak! This **** Steven is really hateful, I really want to smash his hateful smiling face, take a good breath!"

"Who doesn't want it! But who can do it?"
