Treasure Hunt all over the World

"This painting is "Leonis at the Hot Spring Pass". I believe everyone has seen "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" or heard of this extremely tragic and exciting story.

The content depicted in the painting is that in 480 BC, King Leonidas of Sparta led three hundred warriors to use natural dangers at the hot springs to stand alone against the hundreds of thousands of troops of Persian King Xerxes.

The three hundred Spartan warriors fought **** battles with the Persian army for three days in isolation and helpless. In the end, they all died on the battlefield. The Persians paid the tragic price of more than 20,000 casualties....

"The Coronation of the Virgin" is one of the representative works of Angelico, a famous painter of the Renaissance and Florentine School. Although in the Renaissance, Angelico is a rebel of the times!

He only loves sacred and traditional subjects. In this painting, we can clearly see this style. His style is biased towards the Middle Ages, which is very different from the humanism advocated by the Renaissance...."

"The masterpiece in front of you is one of the representative works of Giotto, the founder of the Florentine School and the famous Renaissance painter. The famous "Receiving the Stigma" was created in 290.

In the history of Western art, Giotto is an opening figure with a very important historical position. He is known as the ‘father of Western painting’ and the first person to be recognized and respected as a ‘painter’.

Giotto’s art had a huge influence on the Renaissance movement. Masaccio in the early Renaissance and Michelangelo in the heyday all admitted that they were deeply influenced by Giotto,..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is presented to everyone at this moment is another great work from the three masters of Renaissance art. This is "The Beautiful Gardener" by the famous painter Raphael.

This famous painting was created in 507 and is a custom-made painting for the Vatican Church. It was originally tried to be handed over to Leonardo da Vinci, but Leonardo refused the commission, which was then completed by Raphael.

Raphael is the one who painted the most images of the Virgin in the history of art, but he never copied the appearance of the model or imagined it out of thin air, but constructed a perfect image based on his own aesthetics.

As you can see, this painting feels very soft and graceful, and it feels like a spring breeze. In terms of artistry, this painting is comparable to the "Our Lady of the Rocks" that I have seen before,..."

Ye Tian took Betty and the others on the tour in the big gallery, stopped to admire the famous paintings, and explained relevant knowledge to Betty and them. It was still very professional, vivid and extremely exciting!

At this time, he is like being in a sea of ​​art, swimming freely, unfettered, physically and mentally, how can he be so cool!

Follow Betty and Anderson on the left and right, while watching the many world-famous paintings hanging on the walls of the big gallery, and listening to Ye Tian’s vivid explanations, everyone is fascinated!

The rest of the visitors around are the same, enjoying the baptism of art to their heart's content, one by one is extremely intoxicated, lingering, and no one is willing to leave.

Not only that, behind Ye Tian, ​​more and more visitors listened to his professional explanations, and the team was getting bigger and bigger. It has long become a unique scenery in the big gallery, which is eye-catching!

Especially those visitors who are on the periphery of the crowd, because of the distance, they don't hear too much.

They were anxious, wishing to find a loudspeaker to give to Ye Tian, ​​let him use the speaker to explain, so that everyone can hear it!

As for the many Louvre lecturers and many tour guides in the big gallery, they can only smile bitterly and stand aside helplessly and wait!

For them, this was probably the easiest afternoon to spend, it was too leisurely!

While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others came to a world-famous painting again, and they stopped one after another and began to focus on the top art in front of them.

Almost in a moment, the excitement on everyone's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, and some people's expressions were even heavy, with compassion in their eyes!

There is no other reason for this situation, it is all because of the painting in front of me.

The painting presented in front of everyone at this moment is the famous "Raft of Medusa", the famous work of Ji Ricault, a pioneer of French romanticism, and his greatest work.

This is a veritable masterpiece with a width of 7 cm and a height of 49 cm. Hanging on the wall has a visual impact and is shocking!

What is more shocking is the content depicted in this painting,

The background of the painting is a vast ocean, floating on a precarious raft, the sea breeze tears the sheet made of sails, and the surging waves slap on the raft frantically, and it may overturn it at any time.

A dozen scrawny refugees were riding on the raft. Some of them were dying, and some were still looking into the distance. The people who were raised in the high place waved the red and white cloth towels in their hands and kept calling for help.

The painter uses a pyramid-shaped composition to show the moment when the survivors on the raft found the shadow of the boat on the horizon, depicting the hunger, thirst, pain, and groaning of the victims. The brushwork is meticulous!

The whole picture is full of suffocating tragic atmosphere. The painter used his paintbrush to portray the suffering and tragedy of those survivors vividly and vividly, which is extremely shocking!

It was quiet in front of the painting, and all the visitors were completely shocked by the content depicted in the painting, and they all admired the painting with extraordinary concentration.

In the eyes of some female visitors, there are even crystal tears that are almost flowing!

After a while, the silence on the scene was broken by the sound coming from behind.

"Steven, please explain this "The Raft of Medusa". How would you comment on this famous painting full of misery and suffocation? We would love to hear it."

Ye Tian turned to look at the visitor who was talking, nodded in greeting at the other party, then turned back and said loudly:

"No problem, I can explain this "The Raft of Medusa" for everyone. This is the famous French painter and pioneer of Romantic painting, Ji Ricault, and it is also his greatest work.

The birth of this painting marks the beginning of the Romantic school, but the content depicted in this painting is not romantic at all. On the contrary, it is very heavy, full of suffering, and suffocating!

In the history of Western art and in the history of French art, "The Raft of Medusa" has a very important historical position. Its appearance has refreshed the French art world, which is bound by neoclassicism.

The romantic elements contained in the painting constitute its characteristics, that is, the tragic power, the rich expressiveness of the composition and the characters, the rigor and calmness of the tones, and the strong contrast of light and dark.

Through this magnificent masterpiece, Jirico showed concern for the destiny of mankind and humanitarianism, exposing the incompetence of the Bourbon authorities after the restoration, thus giving it a strong political metaphor.

Various art schools in the nineteenth century, such as neoclassicism, romanticism, and realism, all got some inspiration from this painting. It can be said that this painting changed the aesthetic spirit of French painting!

After talking about the status and value of "The Raft of Medusa" in art history, now I want to analyze this famous painting in detail. What I will say next is likely to make some people feel uncomfortable.

To explain this famous painting, it is inevitable to talk about cannibalism. If these contents make you feel uncomfortable, I suggest you better leave temporarily to avoid nightmares! "

Speaking of this, Ye Tian immediately stopped and turned to look at the surrounding visitors!

Especially those visitors with children, as well as some female visitors with tears in their eyes, are his focus!

When looking at the visitors, Ye Tian dignified and shook his head slightly, indicating that they had better leave and not listen to the next explanation.

Those visitors also understood their own situation, and immediately took their children, or with their partners, left the area and left the breathtaking "Medusa Raft"

After they all walked away, Ye Tian turned his head back and really began to explain and analyze "The Raft of Medusa."

In the next time, only Ye Tian’s voice echoed in people’s ears in this area, besides, there was a thick and rapid breathing~www.ltnovel.com~ Even the air here quickly became very dignified. , It’s a little difficult for people to breathe!

Two or three minutes later, Ye Tian finished explaining "The Raft of Medusa".

Without a moment's pause, he immediately said loudly:

"The story of "The Raft of Medusa" is too heavy and too tragic. Standing here, my breathing is even a little difficult and my mood is very low. I think everyone feels the same!

I urgently need a kind of surging passion to dispel this suffocating feeling. Where does this passion come from? I think there is nothing more than another romantic masterpiece, "Freedom to Guide the People"

With that said, Ye Tian raised his finger to the "Freedom to Guide the People" hanging not far away, and then led Betty to stride over there!

Anderson and Matisse followed, and immediately followed!

Seeing them leave, many other visitors immediately followed up, and everyone was fast, wishing to leave "Medusa Raft" soon!
