Treasure Hunt all over the World

Within a few steps, Ye Tian came to the front of this Michelangelo painting, stopped and began to admire it.

As soon as he stood still, Martinez and the others rushed up there, stood side by side with him, and looked at the top art that had disappeared for more than two hundred years.

In the next moment, this secret room, located more than ten or twenty meters underground, suddenly sounded an almost crazy exclamation, which shocked everyone.

"My God! "Mourning for Christ", this turned out to be "Mourning for Christ"! It's incredible, am I dazzled, am I still dreaming?

Isn't "Mourning for Christ" a sculpture by Michelangelo? Collected in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, it is Michelangelo's most famous early work.

In addition to the marble statue in St. Peter's Basilica, as far as I know, there is a sketch of "Mourning for Christ" that has been handed down to the world and is also collected in the Vatican.

But I have never heard of it. There is also an oil painting "Mourning for Christ". If this is really a work by Michelangelo, it would definitely be a great discovery! "

Martinez said desperately, the whole person has fallen into a state of madness, his eyes are blood red, staring at the painting in front of him, his eyes are burning hot!

Not only him, countless people on the live broadcast were completely stunned by this classicist oil painting that suddenly appeared. They looked at this outstanding painting dumbfounded, with eyes full of incredible!

Some devout believers immediately got up from the sofa or chair, then lowered their heads and quickly crossed their chests, praying in a low voice, eloquently!

In the Vatican, many religious people wearing priestly uniforms, like an electric shock, jumped up directly from the sofas and chairs, looked at the live broadcast in surprise, and their eyes were almost flying out!

The religious theme of "Mourning for Christ" is known to everyone in the Western world. It has been cited by countless artists and appeared in countless works of art!

However, none of these works of art that quoted "Mourning for Christ" or named after it can compare with Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" sculpture, and there is even a difference between heaven and earth!

In Western society, whenever people think of "Mourning for Christ", the first thing people think of is the marble statue housed in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, nothing else!

At this moment, people suddenly heard and saw that Michelangelo had also created an oil painting "Mourning for Christ" on canvas. How could he not be shocked?

Of course, this does not include some senior Vatican officials.

Some of them still know the origin of this Michelangelo masterpiece, just because it has disappeared for more than two hundred years, no one thinks it still exists, so no one mentions it!

But whoever came up with it, this outstanding work by Michelangelo suddenly appeared today, and it shocked almost everyone!

Ye Tian turned his head and looked at Martinez who was almost crazy, and then joked:

"Martinez, at your current age, you should not be old-fashioned. This is not a dream, yes, this is Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", which is very real.

The marble statue of "Mourning for Christ" and the sketch of the same name in St. Peter's Basilica are indeed well known, but few people know this oil painting also by Michelangelo!

Why does this happen? To be honest, I am not very clear. There may be some secrets involved. Perhaps only some high-level people in the Vatican can explain it!

Here, it is inconvenient for me to guess, because it is unfounded, it may make some people feel uncomfortable and even cause unnecessary trouble, but I am very sure of the origin of this painting!

You can look at the lower right corner of the painting. There is Michelangelo’s personal signature and the name of a pope in the 16th century is also engraved on the frame. These two points are enough to explain many problems.

In addition, if you take a closer look at this "Mourning for Christ" and compare it with the famous sculpture in St. Peter's Basilica, you will definitely find something, and it is a surprising discovery! "

Hearing what Ye Tian said, Martinez immediately took a step forward and brought his face closer to this "Mourning for Christ". Observing it carefully, he was serious and his expression was extremely enthusiastic!

The same goes for many people on the live broadcast side. They leaned in front of the TV or computer screen and began to carefully observe this so-called Michelangelo masterpiece. One by one, they wanted to get into the TV or computer!

Seeing Martinez's performance, Ye Tian suddenly laughed softly, his face full of triumph.

Soon after, he began to explain this classicist painting.

Many people know the story of "Mourning for Christ" and the famous statue in St. Peter's Basilica, but in terms of art appraisal, most people are laymen who know it but don't know why!

"Hello everyone, "Mourning for Christ" is taken from the Bible. It tells the scene of the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ and crying after Christ **** was captured by the Jewish governor and crucified.

In this painting, the dead Christ has a bruise under his ribs, without the slightest pain on his face, lying between the knees of the Virgin Mary, his right hand is drooping, his head is leaning back, and his body is slender!

His waist was bent, looking very weak and feeble. The Virgin was young and beautiful, with a gentle image, dressed in a large cloak and robe, with the right hand supporting the body of Christ, and the left hand slightly stretched back.

Maria's expression was helpless and painful. She looked down at her son's body and fell into deep sorrow. The dense pleats covered her thick shoulders, but the mask set off her beautiful face.

The face of the Virgin is silent and complex, not only pouring out silent sorrow, but not just praying full of sorrow, it is far beyond the scope of religious beliefs, showing noble and great maternal love.

In this painting, Michelangelo adopted a steady pyramid-like composition. The Virgin's broad robe not only shows the shape of Mary's limbs, but also subtly conceals the actual proportions of the Virgin's body.

In this way, the contradiction between the beauty of the composition and the proportion of the actual human body is resolved. The painting technique is very clever, and only the top art masters can do all this perfectly.

The fragile and naked body of Christ, the heaviness of the folds of the Virgin and the clear face, these three form a sharp contrast, unified and full of changes, and a strong sense of hierarchy.

Michelangelo used his own brushes to give this painting exuberant vitality and immortal artistic charm, making this painting look dazzling and fascinating!

Unlike the sculpture of the same name in St. Peter’s Basilica, on that sculpture, Michelangelo’s signature is on the belt of the Virgin’s breast, but on this painting, the signature is in the lower right corner,..."

With Ye Tian's explanation, many people were completely attracted by this masterpiece by Michelangelo, deeply indulged in the sad atmosphere created by this painting, and felt sad!

Except for Ye Tianqing's voice, countless live broadcasters were completely silent.

In front of the live broadcast, in many parts of the world, there are more and more people who stand on the floor, draw a cross on their chests, and pray sincerely.

Suddenly, Martinez's excited voice came out, awakening everyone.

"Yes, this is Michelangelo's masterpiece. There is no doubt that the appearance of this "Mourning for Christ" oil painting will definitely cause a huge sensation and even rewrite part of Western art history!

The signature of the author in the lower right corner is indeed the signature of Michelangelo himself. It has appeared in his other works as if it were fake, and the signature of the pope in the 16th century is correct!

More importantly, in terms of costumes and expressions, the Virgin and Christ painted here are slightly different from the sculpture of the same name. The lines appear fuller and the atmosphere created is more sad!

The painting techniques of this oil painting are more mature, and the various techniques are very proficient. From these aspects, it is not like Michelangelo's early works, but more like mature works! "

Upon hearing this, Ye Tian nodded in agreement, then interjected with a smile on his face and said:

"Yes, Martinez, I think so too. This should be the work of Michelangelo at the peak of his artistic career, not an early work.

If I am not mistaken, this should be an oil painting recreated after Michelangelo entered his peak period. The template is the famous statue! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Martinez nodded immediately and said:

""Mourning Jesus" is Michelangelo's proud work, and it can be called his famous work. After he has achieved higher achievements, it is entirely possible to go back and improve that work!

But that work is a marble sculpture, which has been displayed in St. Peter's Basilica, and it is impossible to modify it by hand. Under such circumstances, it is normal for him to create an oil painting of the same name! "

Hear this, UU reading www. Both Ye Tian and others on uukanshu.com couldn't help but nodded and agreed with Martinez's words.

As soon as the voice fell, before Ye Tian could speak, Martinez continued:

"Steven, can you transfer this "Mourning for Christ" to us at the Louvre? You can open the terms as you like, and cash transactions are okay, as well as our collection of antique artworks!

In addition to our several treasures of the Louvre, other antique works of art can be chosen at your discretion. We exchange them on the basis of market prices, so that no one suffers, and the best of both worlds!

The Vatican already has the monumental work of St. Peter's Basilica, the statue of "Mourning for Christ", this oil painting of the same name, I think it is better to stay in our Louvre! "

After saying this, Martinez looked at Ye Tian expectantly, his eyes hot, hoping to hear the answer he most wanted!

At this time in the Vatican, many people jumped up directly from the sofa, and even started to yell at their throats. The object of the curse was Martinez!
