Treasure Hunt all over the World

The first time they entered the exhibition hall, Ye Tian and the others saw Sandro Botticelli's mature work, "Spring", the last master of the Florentine school.

The scale of this tempera painting is amazing. It is over two meters high and three meters wide. It is hung on a display wall facing the entrance of the exhibition hall. It is extremely eye-catching, and it is difficult to see it.

At the moment when he saw this famous painting, Ye Tian couldn't help but stop, and stood at the entrance of the exhibition hall a little bit, admiring Botticelli's masterpiece from a distance.

Betty and Anderson were the same, they were completely shocked by this huge top art piece, and they were also completely attracted by this masterpiece.

After enjoying this painting quietly for a while, Ye Tian said aloud:

"Let's go over and take a good look at this masterpiece of Botticelli. It's still a bit far away. It's not very real, and many details are not clear."

Following his words, Betty and the others were awakened.

"Okay, dear, let's enjoy this painting in the past, its size is really too big, and it's very beautiful, so beautiful!"

Betty nodded with emotion and said, still looking obsessed.

Afterwards, the group of them walked over to this painting. As for the other top art works also displayed in this exhibition hall, they have no time to take care of it for the time being!

During the march, Ye Tian smiled and explained:

"Spring" is a tempera painting created by the artist Sandro Botticelli around 1481, based on a fable poem by the famous Renaissance poet, Politiano.

This painting is related to a political marriage of the Medici family. It is a commissioned painting by the Medici family that Botticelli was asked to create. Therefore, the theme of "Spring" is naturally love.

But this is a political marriage, and there is no beauty in love, so when Botticelli created this painting, he contacted a story in Boccaccio's Decameron, which was very relevant.

In the history of art, this is a famous and top-level work of art. Its status is extremely important and has a milestone significance, because Botticelli brought hope and spring to the artists of the time.

Bottiche used his brush to depict an eternal spring. In the early Renaissance under religious rule, "Spring" was like a warm spring breeze, blowing away the cold of winter.

The appearance of this masterpiece created a great precedent for the artists of the time. This spring breeze blew a god-oriented era to a people-oriented era.

When people appreciate this painting, they will feel a spring breeze that blows across their faces, which is refreshing and refreshing. It is the spring breeze of the Renaissance period, full of humanism."

While they were talking, Ye Tian and his party had come to this masterpiece of Botticelli, stopped about five meters before the painting, and began to admire this top-class painting again.

At this time, every detail of the famous painting presented to them is extremely clear and moving, and the feeling that brings them is even stronger and fascinating.

This painting depicts an early spring morning.

In a beautiful and picturesque citrus grove, Venus, the dignified and charming **** of love and beauty, is in the center, waiting for the grand ceremony for the arrival of spring with a calm and elegant expression.

To the right of Venus, there are the beautiful and beautiful three goddesses. They are dressed in cicada-winged veils, bathed in the warm sunshine of early spring, and are dancing hand in hand, graceful and curvy!

The "beautiful" goddess wears human accessories and shines with pearls, the "youth" goddess turned her back in shame, and the "happiness" goddess twisted her waist happily. They will bring life and joy to the world.

Standing next to the three Meihui goddesses was the messenger of the gods-Mercury wearing a red dress and a saber, waving his magic scepter, dispelling the winter clouds.

On the left of Venus, there are Flower God, Spring God and Fengshen.

Frona, the goddess of flowers, wearing a wreath on her head and dressed in full costumes, is approaching at a graceful and elegant pace, sprinkling flowers to the earth, symbolizing that the natural season of "spring return to the earth, ten thousand trees striving for glory" is coming.

Just above Venus' head, there was the flying little Cupid, blindfolded and shot his golden arrow of love, symbolizing pure love.

The style of the whole painting is elegant and flexible, the colors are bright and brilliant, the lines are light and smooth, and it reveals a delicate and calm poetic taste, which is fascinating.

The image of the gods displayed in this painting is rejoicing because of the arrival of spring. This is a praise of human nature, a concrete manifestation of people-oriented, and an extraordinary beauty!

However, in the solemn and self-confident images of the gods, there seems to be an unknown sadness buried deep in the artist's heart.

Ye Tian and the others were completely shocked and attracted by this masterpiece of Botticelli, and they stood quietly in front of the painting and enjoyed it.

Without exception, each of them looks drunk, and everyone is immersed in the beautiful mood created by this painting.

After a long time, Ye Tian woke up, and then whispered with emotion:

"Wow! This painting is so beautiful, it is incomparable. It is worthy of being the treasure of the Uffizi Gallery. It is worthy of being the most outstanding work of early Renaissance art, and it deserves its name!"

With his emotions, Betty and Anderson both came to sober.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of exclamation, one after another, endlessly.

"This "Spring" is simply beautiful to the extreme. Among all the paintings I have seen, this painting is definitely one of the most beautiful, and it is almost unmatched."

"I like the handsome and elegant painting style of the master artist Botticelli. I prefer the spring that he depicts. It is so charming. It is not wrong to say that he is a prelude to Raphael!"

After sighing, Betty immediately turned to look at Ye Tian and said:

"My dear, please explain this painting carefully to everyone. I want to know more about this extremely beautiful work of art, and others must be the same!"

Before the words were over, Anderson and the others joined together. Everyone at the scene turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, ​​their eyes full of expectation.

Ye Tian shook Betty's hand lightly, and then scanned the scene for a while before he smiled and nodded and said:

"Well, I'll explain this Botticelli's "Spring" to everyone. To be honest, I like this painting very much and I really want to include it in my bag. Unfortunately, the Uffizi Gallery does not sell it.

Let’s start with painting techniques. Most of the paintings we see now are oil paintings. This painting created in the early Renaissance is a tempera painting with very distinctive characteristics.

Around 1481, oil painting techniques have become popular in Flanders ~www.ltnovel.com~ But in Italy and Florence, it is still a novelty, and not many people dared to try it.

When creating this painting, Botticelli used the traditional egg white painting method, and the gorgeous decorative effect on the screen is more intense, which is also more conducive to expressing his light and elegant style.

Because the egg white will form a hard layer after drying, it is a transparent color, so we can feel the pure and transparent effect close to watercolor on this painting.

In the history of art, there are many works depicting spring, but none of them can compare with Botticelli's "Spring". This painting perfectly shows the beauty of spring.

In this painting, Botticelli used a flat decoration technique, arranging the gods in Greek legends in appropriate positions, arranged in sequence from left to right, without overlap or interspersion.

There are a total of nine people on the screen. According to their different roles in the painting, Botticelli arranged appropriate actions for them. The position of the goddess Venus is a bit later than the others,..."

With Ye Tian's explanation, Betty and the others have a deeper understanding of this painting, and once again immersed in the wonderful artistic conception of this painting, their faces are obsessed!
