Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

There were many tourists coming and going in the lobby of the Governor's Palace.

Jiang Zhe heard Andrew's question, stopped, thought for a moment and said: "I am worried about whether I can win the award. But no matter how I think about it, it will not affect the result."

"Do you want to win the prize?" Andrew continued to ask.

"Of course I do."

"Have you ever thought that I'm on the jury, but if you don't win the award, would you be disappointed?" Andrew stared at Jiang Zhe.

"No, I have gained a lot. I can use the money from selling my paintings to support myself, study, and even live a good life. I am already very satisfied." After Jiang Zhe said this, he felt a lot more relaxed.

Andrew smiled. While he admired Jiang Zhe, he finally found a place where he, as an elder, could give a lecture. This young man was too mature and steady.

"Chinese people are more reserved, but I think young people should be more proactive and strive for what they want. You should express your desire to win the award to more people. And you should show your determination to win."

"It's quite difficult." Jiang Zhe replied.

“You have to get used to it slowly, just like him…” Andrew pointed to the painting in front.

Those are four allegorical paintings that Tintoretto created to praise the glory of the governors of Venice.

The sense of tranquility reflected in the picture once again proves the painter's flexibility in expression, which is quite passionate and romantic.

Jiang Zhe was observing the gilding and relief frame decorations of the works when he suddenly heard Andrew say, "These works were completed in 1577. They should have been completed by Tintoretto alone."

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"The works we want to see are on the second floor. Let's talk while we walk."

The two followed the crowd and went to the second floor.

Andrew said: “People speculate that some of Tintoretto’s later works were completed with the assistance of his apprentices and sons.

Of course, this phenomenon is very common. Many of Rubens' works were completed with the assistance of apprentices, and he even just signed his name. "

Jiang Zhe said: "If I am old and can still paint, I hope this situation will not happen."

Andrew said: "This phenomenon is inevitable. I have read many biographies and reviews of painters and found that many people are helpless in their later years. For example, Degas and many modern and contemporary painting masters had to sign their names on some works in order to sell their paintings.

Of course, this has also caused confusion in the market.”

The two discussed the works and the market, and came to the second floor of the Doge's Palace in Venice, where they saw "Paradise" in the hall from afar.

"This large painting created for the Ducal Palace is 22.2 meters long and 9 meters high. It is one of the largest oil paintings in history, the one with the most characters in the painting, and the pinnacle of Tintoretto's work. The Franciscan friars were overwhelmed when they first saw Titian's huge painting. In comparison, the size of Tintoretto's painting is more than nine times that of Titian's painting." Andrew sighed: "Six years after completing this masterpiece, on May 6, 1594, Tintoretto died of illness in Venice."

Jiang Zhe observed the painting from a distance. It was as if a hole had opened up in the ceiling above the painting, and a boiling tide rolled down, surging and undulating, but with its own rules. It could only be roughly seen that it described the scene of heaven.

The work is so large that you can only view it from a distance and then get closer to see the details.

As you get closer to the painting, you can gradually see some details. Jesus and the Virgin Mary are crowned with holy light, and the disciples are surrounding them. Below them are people who yearn for heaven. The brilliant colors show the splendor and magnificence of heaven.

The whole painting seems to have no rules and is chaotic, but it contains mysteries and is a dramatic presentation.

While Jiang Zhe was deeply shocked, he tried to observe and analyze from an objective perspective. He judged the artistic language and creative techniques of the painting from the perspective of a painter. In terms of the composition and color of this painting, the painter interweaves light and dark, presenting a strong contrast between light and dark. Layers and groups of characters are involved in the vortex he directed under different lights.

Various images are intertwined and mixed, yet in an orderly manner, surrounding Jesus and the Virgin Mary. The faith from heaven, like a magnet, brings together all the contradictions, differences and disagreements between them!

Jiang Zhe moved slowly, his eyes sweeping across the images in the painting.

Tintoretto uses light and color to depict each character in detail, allowing the viewer to feel that the image in the painting is rich in meaning, and the perspective direction makes the images in the whole painting orderly.

Jiang Zhe was very envious of this ability to coordinate, control and arrange large-scale scenes.

He recalled the understanding he had made before.

It is said that Tintoretto liked to place wax figures in a dark room and then illuminate them with lights to create special light and shadow effects. In terms of the use of colors, although he devoted himself to studying Titian for many years, he preferred cold colors in practice. The warm colors on the screen were not for the pursuit of gorgeousness, but only to strengthen the psychological portrayal of the characters and to create a tense atmosphere and excited emotions. In his later years, his style of painting was more inclined to strong contrasts, and he almost completely abandoned the pursuit of aesthetic colors, and let colors serve the drama completely.

When Jiang Zhe was pondering the works, he was moved by them and the idea of ​​creating something began to arise in his mind. Although he had not yet thought about what to paint, he just wanted to pick up the paintbrush.

Suddenly, he heard the system prompt sound.

The reminder at this time was a bit disappointing, but he still took the opportunity to move and quietly opened the system.

There is a brief reminder on the system page.

Task release: You observe Tintoretto's works and feel the urge to create a masterpiece. The system releases a creative task.

Task requirements: Please create a masterpiece within two years. The subject matter is not limited, and the size must not be less than 2m×4m.

The system will issue rewards based on the evaluation of your completed tasks.

The previous task has not been completed yet, and the next task has come. However, Jiang Zhe did not find it difficult, after all, there was still time, and he did have the urge to create.

Just as he changed his position to observe again, he saw Andrew answer a phone call.

Jiang Zhe didn't care and continued to watch.

Soon, Andrew came over and said to him, "The list of winners will be announced tomorrow, and the awards will be presented in the main exhibition hall."

Jiang Zhe was a little nervous, but he tried to keep calm. "I understand. Thank you."

"You don't seem nervous at all." Andrew said, "Do you want to go back and prepare in advance?"

Wang Zhen called to inform Jiang Zhe and asked him if he wanted to make preparations in advance.

Jiang Zhe felt that nothing he could do at this time would help. After discussing with Wang Zhen, he decided to continue the tour.

After hearing Jiang Zhe's choice, Andrew said, "I will be there tomorrow as well. I hope you can win the prize."

"Thank you. Let's continue looking at the paintings."
