Treasure Hunt all over the World

After a long time, Ye Tiancai waved his hand to bid farewell to the famous ancient philosophers, walked out of the artistic conception of the painting "Academy of Athens" and woke up.

Afterwards, he turned his head and looked at Betty, who was still obsessed with him, and Anderson, who was also obsessed with painting.

"Papa"

Ye Tian patted his palms gently, trying to wake Betty and the others.

It is already around 7 o'clock in the evening, and there are several exhibition halls and many top antique artworks waiting for everyone to visit and appreciate.

Even if Raphael's "Academy of Athens" is magnificent and one of the greatest works of art, it is breathtaking, everyone can't spend too long here.

And for a long time indulging in the artistic conception created by the paintings, although it feels very beautiful, it is also a painstaking task.

With Ye Tian's applause, Betty and Anderson were awakened immediately, and they came out of the wonderful artistic conception of "Academy of Athens".

The next moment, the entire ‘signature hall’ boiled directly, and the exclamation sounded one after another.

"Wow! It's spectacular and amazing. Just now I seemed to hear the debate between Plato and Aristotle, but I didn't know the specific content of the debate."

"I can't believe how Raphael created such a great work? These great philosophers in ancient history were gathered together in a mural by him, and it is so harmonious!"

After a while of exclamation and emotion, Betty and Anderson turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, ​​everyone looked forward to it.

Ye Tian naturally knew what Betty and the others meant.

He glanced at the crowd, then turned his head to look at the "Academy of Athens" a few meters ahead, and then began to explain.

"This "The Academy of Athens" is one of Raphael's greatest works. It was created between 1510 and 1511. It is the most outstanding mural in the entire Raphael studio.

In 1509, Raphael was commissioned by Pope Julius II and began to paint here. The themes were theology, philosophy, poetry, and law. This "Academy of Athens" represented philosophy.

The theme of "Academy of Athens" is to herald the revival of the rational spirit bred from the soil of ancient Greece and Rome, and it is also the artist's concentrated praise for the pursuit of wisdom and truth among human beings.

People admiring this painting is like entering the profound and profound world of human civilization. From the ancient Greek period to the Renaissance, they can clearly see the development of Western civilization.

The fresco was based on the anecdote of Plato’s organization of the Academy of Athens, but the Academy of Athens run by Plato was set in an outdoor forest, but Raphael moved it to a tall and magnificent classical building.

Raphael’s changes have their own reasons. He wants to use the noble sense of classical architecture to create a noble atmosphere of the environment, so as to more favorably set off the great dramatic effect of this ancient sage event.

The bottom of this mural is more than 7 meters long. It cleverly uses the wall in front of you to draw the outer frame of the semi-circular wall into a huge arch, and draws two levels of platforms under the mural to form a sense of depth.

Through this technique, Raphael has cleverly integrated the classical architecture and the actual architecture in the picture, visually making the visitor unable to distinguish the real architecture and the architecture in the painting.

Standing in the hall and admiring this mural, it is easy to create an illusion. The many sages in this mural are like living in a real space, giving people a sense of closeness.

I have this feeling now, I seem to be standing with these sages, Plato and Aristotle seem to be walking towards me, their debate sounds like lingering in my ears,..."

While explaining, Ye Tian also secretly opened the perspective, began to explore this masterpiece of Raphael and the wall that bears this mural, and explore the secrets hidden behind this mural.

As far as he could see, the mural in front of him and the wall behind him were instantly seen through by Ye Tian, ​​and there was no more secret.

He started to explore the center of the painting, which is the location of Plato and Aristotle.

When he saw Plato's finger pointing to the sky, he seemed to see a world of ideas. The core part of Plato's philosophical system is ‘ideas are the spiritual foundation of the world’.

And Aristotle, who was standing next to him, was arguing with Plato, with the palm of his right hand pointing down toward the ground.

From this action, Ye Tian seems to see Aristotle saying:'Rationality is the root'.

Aristotle believed that beauty is order, uniformity, and certainty, and concepts and thoughts are inseparable from their substance.

Only this partial picture of the two great ancient Greek philosophers made Ye Tian admire Raphael's five bodies, and was shocked.

Here, Rafael used a limited picture to successfully show the main ideas of the Platonic and Aristotelian schools of ancient Greece, as well as the conflict between the two schools. It is a miracle!

How many people have been able to do this throughout the ages? This is why Raphael is great.

After secretly marveling, Ye Tian's line of sight directly penetrated the surface of the mural, looking deeper.

In Plato and Aristotle, as well as the two hands that point to the sky and the earth, and the famous art history, Ye Tian didn't find any secrets or secrets, everything is natural and flawless!

Obviously, even Raphael, an extremely narcissistic master of art, faced the two great philosophers Plato and Aristotle with admiration and did not hide any secrets from them.

However, in the sketches covered by the murals and on the floor between Plato and Aristotle, Ye Tian saw Raphael's Latin signature, covered with layers of oil paint.

This can be regarded as a small secret, but unfortunately it cannot be made public, it can only be enjoyed by Ye Tian.

Perhaps in Raphael's view, he is not on the same level as these two great philosophers. He can only look up at Plato and Aristotle in a posture of worship.

On this point, it can also be seen from the position of Raphael in the painting.

He drew himself in the most marginal, most inconspicuous position, and only showed one face, very rare and humble!

In addition to the secret signature left by Raphael, Ye Tian also discovered some secrets on this mural and on the wall behind it, such as traces of alteration, hidden characters and so on.

All these secrets are related to this great mural and do not point to other things, such as hidden treasures somewhere.

During the perspective process, Ye Tian seemed to see with his own eyes, Raphael was standing in front of this wall and on the scaffold with a paintbrush in hand, swaying his stunning talents at will!

As the paintbrush in his hand fell on the wall time and time again, the masterpiece "The Academy of Athens" became a little bit complete, and gradually appeared before Ye Tian.

The entire creative process is fascinating, and every brushstroke is heart-pounding, shining with extremely bright genius.

Time is passing by, and Ye Tian's wonderful explanation has gradually come to an end.

"..." "The Academy of Athens" is the most magnificent and splendid of all Raphael's works. The figures in the painting are full and burly, and their epic vigor is extremely rare in his works.

Although the scale of the picture is large and there are many characters, it does not appear to be messy at all. Raphael has fully demonstrated his outstanding ability in drawing portraits and overall composition of the picture.

It is precisely because of Raphael's unconstrained vision that we can appreciate such a great work gathered by ancient sages and realize the noble ideals of the golden age of ancient humanities.

This "Academy of Athens" is a document left by Raphael for future generations to record the most glorious "golden age" in history, and it is an unsurpassed peak in the history of Western art."

After the explanation, Ye Tianqinglang's voice disappeared.

The exhibition hall was completely silent, except for the sound of breathing and heartbeat, there was no more movement.

Without exception, everyone on the scene was once again completely attracted by the "Academy of Athens" in front of them, and indulged in it for a long time.

It took a long time before everyone woke up and walked out of the "Academy of Athens" and out of the tall and magnificent classical building in the painting.

Then they quietly admired this masterpiece for a while, Ye Tian and the others turned and left, turned to the other wall next to them, and began to admire the "Three Virtues" painted on that wall, representing the law.

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye it was more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the twilight gradually swallowed the entire Rome, and the sky became darker and darker!

After visiting the last hall of Raphael's studio, the many murals and sculptures displayed in the "Fire Alarm Hall"~www.ltnovel.com~Ye Tian and the others walked out of this exhibition hall unsuccessfully.

Coming to the corridor outside the exhibition hall, Ye Tian looked around the corridor and looked through the window at the dim sky outside.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand to check the time, then smiled and said to everyone around him;

"It's too late. Let's stop here today. We will visit the remaining exhibition halls and the famous Sistine Chapel again tomorrow to appreciate the most valuable antique artworks.

Especially the Sistine Chapel, which can only be visited during the day! Before you know it, everyone has been shopping in the museum for an entire afternoon, and I must be a little tired. It's time to go back and have a good rest! "

No one objected to Ye Tian's proposal, and everyone nodded in response.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Leonardo, everyone walked towards the exit of the museum.

When everyone walked down the spiral passage at the exit of the museum and came outside the museum, Ye Tian saw a few familiar old friends and a bunch of strangers in suits and shoes.

Obviously, those old friends with gloomy expressions were waiting for Ye Tian and the others. They should have waited a lot of time, with a somewhat anxious expression!

The same goes for strangers in suits and shoes. They seem to be more anxious and angry.

Seeing Ye Tian and the others finally came out of the museum, those guys seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, the old friends stepped out and walked towards Ye Tian and the others.

As for the rest, they were stopped by the Vatican police and several members of the Swiss Guard, and they could only stop outside the cordon!
