Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1714: "The Last Supper"

The current Vinciano restaurant has long been changed to the monastery hall.

This is a hall completely isolated from the outside world. All doors and windows are covered with aluminum alloy and tempered glass, which truly achieves constant temperature, humidity, and full closure.

Ye Tian and the others went through three glass doors before they came to the real entrance, and the opening methods of the three glass doors were also particular, or should be said to be very strict.

When visitors pass a glass door, they must stop and wait between the two doors. Only when the glass door behind them is completely closed, the next glass door will open.

Passing through the three glass doors, and then pushing open the quaint door of the Vinciano restaurant, people entered an empty, dim, and quiet hall.

Until then, visitors can see Leonardo’s unparalleled masterpiece, "The Last Supper", which appears in front of people under the irradiation of anti-ultraviolet lamps.

On the opposite wall, there is also a mural with the theme of **** being nailed to the cross.

Tourists who are fortunate enough to enter the Vinciano restaurant and admire Leonardo’s masterpiece, usually only stay here for twenty minutes, and then they will be invited out.

However, Ye Tian and the others are a special case. They can stay here for a while and enjoy this world-famous mural for a while!

When they entered the Vinciano restaurant, the last group of tourists had just left. Only the security staff and the narrator were left in the hall. It was very quiet and suitable for admiring the painting.

In a few steps, Ye Tian and the others had come to the "Last Supper", then stopped and began to appreciate this masterpiece by Leonardo, the pride of Milan!

"The Last Supper" is a large-scale mural created between 1495 and 1497 by Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters of Renaissance art and known as a genius in the field.

When creating this mural, Da Vinci mainly used oil paints and oil painting techniques, so it can also be regarded as an oil painting on the wall.

This mural is 4.97 meters high, 9 meters wide, with an area of ​​about 44 square meters and a huge size. It occupies an entire wall of the Vinciano restaurant. It has a visual impact and is shocking!

Because of its huge area and outstanding artistic value, "The Last Supper" is also known as the best treasure among all the great scrolls, the crown stone of European art, and it is a veritable priceless treasure!

The content of the "Last Supper" is based on the story in the "Bible", where **** had the last supper with his twelve disciples.

In this painting, Da Vinci used his brush to show the fright, anger, suspicion, and confession of the characters in the painting, as well as gestures, eyes and behavior.

He portrayed each character in his paintings meticulously and vividly. Among all the paintings created on this subject, this mural is the most famous one, and there is no other one!

Due to congenital deficiencies in the production process, the oil and paint on the painting of "The Last Supper" began to peel off while Leonardo was still alive, and it became a little mottled!

In the next five hundred years, I don’t know how many famous painters once stood in front of this wall, repainting this mural according to the traces left by Leonardo da Vinci, trying to preserve it and extend its life as long as possible!

To this day, which stroke on this mural is the real Da Vinci? That stroke was repainted by later generations of painters. It is already difficult to distinguish clearly. They have long been fused together, and it is difficult to distinguish each other!

In addition, this art mecca has also experienced many wars.

When Napoleon conquered Italy and commanded the army to attack Milan, he once bombarded this place with artillery, causing some damage to this famous mural.

During World War II, the church next door was bombed. Although the Vinciano restaurant was not directly hit, it was also destroyed by the shock wave of the bomb explosion.

Fortunately, the wall where "The Last Supper" was located did not collapse.

At that time, in order to protect this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, the Milanese surrounded the entire wall with sand belts, and piled several layers of sandbags on the front and back of the wall.

In this way, the shock wave of the bomb explosion was blocked~www.ltnovel.com~The Last Supper was able to survive.

The "Last Supper" presented in front of everyone at this moment is quite dim in color, and the figures on the painting look a little fuzzy, with small cracks everywhere, revealing a breath of vicissitudes.

Because of this, the protection measures for this mural are so complete, every detail is taken into consideration, and the purpose is to extend the life of this mural as much as possible.

Although this mural is quite old and looks a little mottled, it does not affect its huge artistic charm.

Ye Tian and the others who stood by this painting were completely shocked by this large mural for the first time and were deeply attracted. Everyone had a drunken expression.

After three or four minutes of quiet appreciation, everyone just woke up.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of exclamation on the scene.

"Wow! This mural is really shocking. It is very different from the illustrations and the reproductions that you see in the textbooks. It seems to reach the depths of the human soul!"

"Yes! Only standing here to appreciate this "Last Supper" can you realize its greatness and feel its great artistic charm. It is worthy of being the crown stone of European art!"

After a while, Betty turned to look at Ye Tian and said:

"My dear, please explain this famous painting by Leonardo. It is said that there are many secrets hidden in this mural. We want to know what those secrets are and what do they mean?"

Hearing Betty's words, everyone on the scene immediately turned to look at Ye Tian, ​​and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

Even Camilo of the Church of Saint Mary’s Thanksgiving and the two full-time commentators standing nearby looked at Ye Tian with the same curious eyes!

They did not speak out to stop Betty's proposal, and there was no shortage of meaning in their eyes to see if Ye Tian was the same as the legend, all-perfect and know-all!

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said loudly:

"Since everyone wants to listen, then I will explain to you this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, "The Last Supper", so that everyone can better appreciate this mural and have a better understanding!

Some of these are what everyone knows, and some are my personal opinions. They are the words of a family. You can listen to it. If you have different opinions, you can also put it forward on the spot.

If you want to better appreciate this painting, you must understand the content of the painting. This is based on the story of the Bible, the scene where **** had the last supper with the twelve disciples.

According to the "New Testament Bible. The Gospel of Mark", **** went to Jerusalem for the Passover for the last time. The Jewish priest conspired to arrest him at night, but no one led the way.

At this moment, Jesus’ disciple Judas informed the Jewish chief priests, ‘I will give him to you, how much are you willing to give me? The Jewish chief priest gave Judas 30 yuan.

So ~www.ltnovel.com~ Judas made an appointment with the chief priest, ‘the one he kissed is Jesus’. On Passover Day, **** sat with 12 disciples for the last supper.

During the dinner, he said sadly to the 12 disciples: ‘I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me! After hearing this, the 12 disciples showed various emotions.

They may be shocked, angry, excited, nervous, or afraid. This mural created by Leonardo, "The Last Supper", shows the tension at this moment.

After introducing the background of the story, let’s analyze this world-famous mural. First, let’s talk about the composition. Da Vinci not only strives for innovation in painting techniques, but also has novelty in the layout of the picture.

Before Leonardo da Vinci created this "Last Supper", all the paintings of the same name had the layout of the twelve disciples of **** sitting in a row, with **** sitting alone at the other end.

But in this "Last Supper", the twelve disciples are sitting on both sides of Jesus. **** sits lonely in the middle. His face is reflected by the bright window behind him, appearing solemn,..."

Following Ye Tian's introduction, Betty and the others couldn't help being attracted by the masterpiece in front of them again, and once again immersed in the artistic conception created by this painting.

At the same time, their knowledge and understanding of this famous painting is rapidly deepening and becoming more thorough.

Even Camilo and the two commentators, listening to Ye Tian's explanation, nodded frequently, with eyes full of admiration and appreciation!

They have determined that the rumors are not wrong at all. Steven this guy is indeed omniscient and omnipotent. He is definitely the top antique art appraisal expert!
