Chapter 2171: True and false statue
"Ah! How is this possible? Isn't Michelangelo's "Madame Bruges" in the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium? How can it appear here? And it has been hidden here for more than seventy years!"
Derek exclaimed directly, his eyes widened and his expression extremely exaggerated.
It’s not him, Walker, and many people on the live broadcaster. Anyone who knows Michelangelo’s "Madame Bruges" has a dumbfounded expression at this time.
Without exception, everyone looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian glanced at the men next to him, then smiled and said loudly:
"If the statue in front is really "Madame Bruges" by Michelangelo, then it will be fun. "Madame Bruges" in the Church of Our Lady of Bruges, Belgium, and this statue must be an imitation. Product.
The specific statue is an imitation, and the statue is the original work of the top artist Michelangelo. Let’s take a look in the past and we will know. As long as I see this famous statue, I can draw the most accurate identification conclusion."
Saying, Ye Tian has already stepped out and walked towards the marble statue in front.
Behind him, Walker and Derek immediately followed, each of them excited and expectant.
In the process of marching, Ye Tian once again assumed the narration duties, introducing Michelangelo’s "Mrs. Bruges" to Walker and the countless people in front of the live broadcaster.
" "Mrs. Bruges" is a sculpture created by Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504. Its real name is "The Statue of the Virgin and Child", which is a well-deserved top art.
After the creation of this marble statue was completed, it was soon taken to the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium, so people also called this outstanding work of Michelangelo "Madame Bruges".
In addition, this statue has another name, ‘Madonna of Bruges’, because the image of the Virgin Mary in this statue is a bit similar to the pop music queen Madonna, so this name was given.
From the beginning of the 16th century until 1944, this statue has been in the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium. In 1944, when the German army retreated from Belgium, the artwork was forcibly taken away.
When robbing this statue of Michelangelo’s "Madame Bruges", in order to avoid arousing public outrage, but also to hide from the public, the German army used the Red Cross truck to smuggle this statue away with great pains.
One year later, Germany was defeated. By coincidence, "Mrs. Bruges" was discovered in a mine, and then sent back to Belgium, where it has been enshrined in the Church of Our Lady of Bruges for decades.
It now appears that the statue that was sent back to Belgium may not be the real "Madame Bruges". Of course, it is also possible that the "Madame Bruges" hidden here is a fake"
Speaking of this, Derek interrupted suddenly and said:
"Since there must be an imitation of the two statues, who has copied Michelangelo's "Madame Bruges"? Who can perfectly copy Michelangelo's work without revealing flaws for decades? "
Ye Tian turned his head to look at the kid, then smiled and said:
"Of course it is a nacui! With Hitle's fanatical pursuit of the works of the three masters of Renaissance art, it is entirely possible for him to order a copy of a Michelangelo's work, and then mix everything.
During World War II, the whole of Germany was under Hitler's rule, and Germany did not lack top talents in sculpture. It was not too difficult to copy a Michelangelo's work with all its strength! "
While talking, the group of them had already come to the statue of "Madame Bruges" and stood still and admired it.
At this time, the outside world is already like a pot, and it is very lively.
Especially Belgium, and the historic city of Bruges.
All the Belgians and citizens of Bruges who were watching this live broadcast were stunned. They all held their heads with their hands, eyes full of incredible, as if they could not believe what they had just heard.
"How is it possible? The "Madame Bruges" in the Church of Our Lady is an imitation. Michelangelo's original work is hidden deep under the Temple Palace in Berlin. It has not seen the sun for more than 70 years. This is simply a fantasy !"
"God bless! I hope the "Mrs. Bruges" in the Church of Our Lady is Michelangelo's original work. Don't be a fake. If this top art piece falls into the hands of that **** Steven, it will be in trouble. "
Unlike ordinary people, many professionals who have studied "Madame Bruges" have a thoughtful expression at this time, and even a surprise flashes on their faces.
At this time, the Belgian government and the municipality of Bruges quickly took action after a shock.
" Immediately contact the ambassador and cultural counselor of the embassy in Germany and ask them to rush to the Temple Palace. If the statue is really Michelangelo’s original work, then you must stare at the statue.
It is a national treasure of Belgium, belongs to the Belgian people, and is one of the city symbols of Bruges. It must not fall into the hands of Steven's extremely greedy bastard, nor into the hands of the Germans!
Steven, this greedy bastard, ransacked Brussels and Antwerp before and swept a lot of top antique art from these two Belgian cities. This kind of thing must never happen again.”
The same scene is happening in the office of the Prime Minister of Belgium and the office of the Mayor of Bruges.
With a few calls, the relevant personnel of the Belgian Embassy in Germany immediately took action, rushed out of the embassy and drove straight to the Temple Palace.
And those senior government officials in Belgium, professionals in the field of antique art collection, and all Belgians, are waiting eagerly for Ye Tian's identification conclusion.
Because of the crazy looting of Brussels and Antwerp last year, many Belgians hated Ye Tian with hatred, but the Belgians have no doubt about his ability to identify antique works of art.
These Belgians understand in their hearts that as long as the **** Steven says that the "Madame Bruges" hidden deep in the Temple Palace is an authentic Michelangelo, it can't be wrong!
I hope that the result is not like that, otherwise, Belgium will certainly not escape the tragic fate of being ransacked again. The person who ransacked Belgium is another greedy **** by Steven.
And this time I changed a Belgian city to Bruges, a historical and cultural city. Does the Belgian owe that **** and deserve to be looted again and again?
In a temporary meeting room set up next to the hall of the Temple Palace, the preparations for the video conference call have been completed. All the people participating in this meeting have been seated on both sides of a long conference table.
At the north end of this long conference table, a white projection screen is hung on which is playing the ongoing exploration action, the picture is quite clear.
Seeing that everything is ready, David immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, and he was ready to inform Ye Tian that the video conference call could begin.
At this moment, the German Chancellor sitting opposite suddenly interjected:
"Don’t worry about notifying Mr. Steven, it doesn’t matter if the video conference call starts later, I would love to hear his appraisal conclusion, and I want to know whether this "Madame Bruges" is the original work of Michelangelo."
For this kind of request, David would naturally not refuse.
He smiled and nodded, then put the walkie-talkie in his hand back to the desktop, and looked at the live broadcast on the projection screen with interest.
Inside the underground palace, the exploration continues.
At Ye Tian's gesture, Walker and Derek roughly wiped "Mrs. Bruges" with a soft cloth, and basically wiped off the dust and moss that fell on the surface of the statue.
Following their movements, this famous "Madame Bruges" appeared in front of people again after more than 70 years.
This is a classicist style marble sculpture, based on biblical stories, the sculpture is the Virgin Mary and the young Jesus, the protagonist is the Virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary is holding the young **** in her arms, sitting on a chair, staring at the ground in front of her, her eyes focused and full of love, seeming to be lost in thought.
At the same time, she gently embraced the young **** with her right hand to prevent him from falling to the ground due to mischief, and put her left hand on her knee, her body filled with maternal radiance, holy and great.
As I said before, this statue of the Virgin Mary looks a bit like Madonna, the queen of pop music from some angles ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, with a touch of modernity in love and holiness.
The carving skills of this statue are very good. The sculptor uses the carving knife in his hand to create a nearly perfect sculpture, creating a perfect image of the Virgin.
Standing in front of this marble statue and looking at it can even make people feel an urge to worship.
In fact, Derek and another guy on the scene, as well as many devout believers on the live broadcast, have begun to draw a cross on their chest and pray in a low voice after seeing this statue of the Virgin!
Of course, this does not include Ye Tian, he just simply appreciates it.
More importantly, in his eyes, this marble statue emits a dazzling yellow light, which is beautiful and dazzling. Outside the yellow light, there are more than 20 layers of charming halo.
And these reveal the age of this statue and its incomparable great artistic value.
Apart from the top artist Michelangelo, whose work can it be? Who can create such a classical sculpture?
quietly admired for a moment, then he gave his own appraisal conclusion.
"Guys, I can be sure that the marble statue in front of you, "Mrs. Bruges", is definitely Michelangelo's original work, and the statue in the Church of Our Lady of Bruges was made by Hitler. Fake!"
Before the voice was over, there was a cheering voice from Walker and Derek.
At this time, Belgium was completely overwhelmed by almost crazy exclamations!
