Chapter 2784: to seek perfection
, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
After two or three minutes, the exclamation of one after another on the scene stopped, and everyone's mood stabilized a little, but they were still very excited.
The situation before countless live broadcasts is the same. Almost everyone who knows Western art is excited, their eyes are extremely hot, and they are about to burn!
There is no other reason, because the "Our Lady of the Rocks" created by Leonardo da Vinci has a very high status in the history of Western art. It is a genuine and priceless treasure, known and admired by countless people!
What's more, this is a piece of "Our Lady of the Rocks" that has never been known and has been hidden deep underground for more than five hundred years. The impact on people is even greater!
Seeing that everyone's mood has stabilized a bit, Ye Tian smiled and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't expect to find a piece of "Our Lady of the Rocks" here. What made me even more unexpected is that Leonardo actually created three pieces of "Our Lady of the Rocks", which is incredible!
Undoubtedly, the discovery of "Our Lady of the Rocks" will surely stir the entire Western art world. As the discoverer of Da Vinci's masterpiece, I and the employees of the company feel very honored."
Before the words were over, the Deputy Minister of Culture of Italy continued excitedly and said:
"You are right, Steven, the discovery of Leonardo da Vinci's "Our Lady of the Rocks" is definitely one of the most important artistic discoveries in the Western world in recent decades, enough to be recorded in the annals of history!
Before that, everyone thought that Leonardo had created two "Our Lady of the Rocks", one oil on wood, which was collected in the National Gallery in London, and one oil on canvas, which was collected in the Louvre!
But who could have imagined that there is actually a third piece of "Our Lady of the Rocks", which must be a gift from God to Italy, just like God has given Italy a genius in all fields like Leonardo da Vinci!
Steven, you have said before that all the antique artworks found during this trip to Italy, if they have a strong religious color, you will deal with them in Italy instead of collecting them yourself!
I hope you will keep your promise and keep this "Madame among the Rocks" by Leonardo da Vinci in Italy. This is a cultural treasure for all Italians and must not be lost like the other two paintings of the same name! "
This person just finished speaking, and the rest of the Italians on the scene also echoed one after another, one by one getting more excited!
Not only them, but almost the Italians in front of the live broadcast, the Italians in the basement above, in the hotel, and on the streets outside, all behaved the same. Everyone was excited!
The rest of the museums, top collectors, experts and scholars from all walks of life, and even senior government officials in Western countries who covet this priceless treasure can't help but become nervous when they hear this.
Without exception, everyone is staring at Ye Tian, expecting him to give answers and see what choices he will make.
Ye Tian glanced at the Italians at the scene, then smiled and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, I will keep my promise. I will transfer all the antique artworks with religious themes I discovered this time instead of collecting them by myself. This will not change!
It also includes Da Vinci's "Our Lady of the Rocks", but for a top-of-the-art artwork like this, if it is traded, it will inevitably involve many things in all aspects, and it is impossible to decide in one word!
I also hope that this top art can stay in Italy, which is its hometown! As long as the Italian side can meet my trading conditions and settle and straighten out the relationship between the parties, the results will naturally be happy! "
Following Ye Tian's words, excitement cheers were heard on the streets outside and all over Italy, one after another, resounding across the night sky of various cities in Italy.
These Italians who cheered in the early hours of the morning seem to have seen that the "Madonna between the Rocks" by Leonardo da Vinci has been left in Italy and is displayed in the best museum in Italy!
And Giovanni and the other Italians who were on the scene, as well as some high-level officials of the Italian government and many experts and scholars who were watching the live broadcast, were silent at this time, and their expressions were more solemn!
They clearly know that things are definitely not that simple!
Italy wants to keep this "Mother of the Rocks", in addition to being severely killed by the **** Steven, it also has to play a game with the more greedy US government. Whether it can keep this priceless treasure is not certain. !
Whether it's this extremely lucky but extremely greedy **** in front of you, or the **** vultures far away in the White House in Washington, there is no one that can be dealt with!
After chatting for a few words, Ye Tian changed the subject and began to introduce the painting itself.
"Da Vinci's "Our Lady of the Rocks" is one of his most famous masterpieces. Regarding the content of this world-famous top art piece, I will not introduce it here. Everyone is familiar with it!
Let's talk about the difference between the three "Mother of the Rocks", so that everyone can better appreciate and appraise this masterpiece, and evaluate it, and it will also allow viewers on the live broadcast side to appreciate it better!
As we all know, the oil on canvas collected in the Louvre, "The Madonna of the Rocks", was created between 1483 and 1490 and was an altarpiece created by Leonardo da Vinci for the church of San Francesco in Milan.
"The Madonna of the Rocks", collected in the National Museum of London, is a wood-panel oil painting, which was created a little later than the first painting. The one in front of me is an oil painting on canvas, and it should be the latest one.
Why do I say that? Of course there is a reason. Let's analyze it in detail. In the first piece of "The Madonna between the Rocks", the fingers of the Virgin Mary appear to be sharper, and the outline of the figure is the same.
Archangel Wu used his finger to point to John. What is the meaning of this gesture? There is no authoritative explanation, and Uli is facing the audience. **** and John in the painting are both babies, which is difficult to distinguish.
In the second piece "Our Lady of the Rocks", Leonardo changed Maria's seemingly sharp fingers to make the outline softer, and also removed the unexplained movement of the archangel Uli to John.
Moreover, Uli’s face no longer faces the audience, but has been changed to face the ongoing ceremony. The image appears to be much softer, and some details such as the color of Maria’s clothes have been slightly modified.
In order to distinguish the identities of the two babies in the painting, Leonardo added an identifiable cross above Jesus' head. One more thing, compared to the first painting, the light in the second one is brighter.
However, when we compare these two “Madame of the Rocks” together, we will find that the wooden board “Madame of the Rocks” collected in the National Gallery in London pays more attention to the communication between the characters in the painting.
The first "Madame among the Rocks" collected in the Louvre not only paid attention to the communication between the characters in the painting, but also took into account the exchanges with the visitors outside the painting. As far as the artwork is concerned, this is very important. important.
It can be said that the two known "Our Lady of the Rocks" have their own characteristics. If you compare them together, from an artistic point of view, you can think that the collection of the Louvre is better than the one in London! "
Hearing this, almost all the experts and scholars who have studied Leonardo and Our Lady of the Rocks on the live and live broadcast side nodded together, and gave Ye Tian a thumbs up coincidentally!
"It seems that the rumors are right. The **** Steven is not only extremely lucky, but also omniscient and omnipotent. He is definitely a monster!"
Those who knew little about Leonardo da Vinci and "Our Lady of the Rocks" all listened with gusto, and their understanding of this world-famous painting has also deepened a lot!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Let’s take a look at the third "Our Lady of the Rocks~www.wuxiaspot.com~". If you look carefully, you will find that this oil on canvas avoids the shortcomings of the first and second paintings of the same name. It's more perfect!
The light of "Our Lady of the Rocks" is brighter than the first one, and the outlines of the characters are softer. The communication between the characters in the painting and the communication with the audience outside the painting are perfectly unified!
It can be seen from this that this is the third "Madame of the Rocks" and the most perfect one, with higher value. The process by which Leonardo created these three paintings of the same name can also be regarded as his pursuit of perfection. !
Of course, what I just said is my personal opinion. You may have different opinions. We can discuss and communicate, but it is undeniable that this piece of "Our Lady of the Rocks" is a top-notch work of art! "
When the voice fell, there was a burst of warm applause.
"Papa Papa"
Many experts and scholars on the scene all gave Ye Tian their applause.
It's the same with countless live broadcasts, many people are applauding, even if quite a few of them don't like Ye Tian!
