Chapter 1321： Initiator

In the Mona Lisa Hall, Ye Tian and the others were standing in front of a world-famous painting, watching intently and intently. Everyone had a shocking look in their eyes.

However, the painting in front of them is not the "Mona Lisa", but the famous Italian painter, one of the three masters of the Venetian school, and one of Veronese's greatest works, "The Wedding of Cana".

The location where this world-famous painting is displayed is directly opposite to the "Mona Lisa", which is also the entrance to this exhibition hall, hanging on the wall between the left and right doors.

Although Ye Tian and the others, like most visitors in the exhibition hall, came for "Mona Lisa", it was obviously not a wise move to appreciate "Mona Lisa" in the past.

Before the "Mona Lisa" at this time, there were already dozens of visitors in three and three floors.

Each of these visitors was very excited, looking eagerly, with almost admiring gestures, leaning on their toes and looking at the most famous painting in the world!

With the size of the "Mona Lisa", plus several layers of bulletproof glass, and the distance between the painting and the visitors a few meters wide, I don't know what visitors standing behind the crowd can see ?

At most they can see the outline clearly, probably not even the eyebrows clearly. As for the mysterious smile of Mona Lisa, they can only look at the guidebook, which is more clear.

During the visit, many visitors held up their cameras or mobile phones and took pictures of "Mona Lisa" to prove that they had been to this exhibition hall and watched "Mona Lisa" up close.

The situation before the "Mona Lisa" could not be more normal. Many tourists came to visit the Louvre, even for the huge reputation of "Mona Lisa".

As soon as they enter the Louvre, they will follow the guide's guide and go straight to this exhibition hall to appreciate this famous painting.

After playing the card here in the "Mona Lisa", some tourists will soon leave the Louvre to visit other places, such as the Champs Elysées not far away!

Some tourists continue to visit the Louvre to appreciate the other exquisite artworks.

In order to facilitate visitors to visit the "Mona Lisa", the Louvre not only clearly marked the route to the Mona Lisa Hall in the guide book, but also set up many reminders throughout the museum.

In this way, those tourists who come for the "Mona Lisa" can easily find the Mona Lisa Hall and complete the task of checking in and signing in.

Unlike the crowded situation before "Mona Lisa", there were few visitors before Veronese's "The Wedding in Cana" and it was very quiet.

Seeing this, Ye Tian and the others immediately stopped and began to appreciate this world-famous painting.

In fact, this world-famous painting is also one of Ye Tianlai's must-see top artworks at the Louvre!

"Wow! The size of this painting is really too big. It is definitely one of the largest paintings I have ever seen! It's amazing!"

The first time he saw this painting, Betty sighed in a low voice, obviously shocked by the world famous painting in front of her.

Ye Tian turned to look at her, then smiled and whispered:

"The size of this painting is indeed very huge. "The Wedding of Cana" is about ten meters wide and seven meters high. The area of ​​the whole painting is about 70 square meters, which is extremely exaggerated!

In the Louvre, this is the largest and extremely precious giant painting. It is as amazing as the coronation ceremony of Napoleon I. It is absolutely not allowed to leave the Louvre!

In this regard, the opposite "Mona Lisa" is not comparable to this painting. "Mona Lisa" has left the Louvre many times and was sent to exhibitions around the world, but this painting has never been! "

"More than 70 square meters, isn't it the area of ​​an apartment? It is really amazing! Painting such an amazing painting will definitely take a lot of time and a lot of energy.

Steven, tell everyone about this giant painting. We would love to hear the story about this giant painting so that we can better appreciate this painting and understand its beauty! "

Anderson said with emotion, eyes full of shock.

"Okay, let me explain this painting to everyone"

Ye Tian nodded slightly in response, and then began to explain the giant painting in front of him in a low voice.

"The Wedding in Cana" is a painting created by Veronese in 1563. The content reflected is the scene of **** attending a wedding in Cana. The story comes from the "Bible".

Here, Veronese made some small changes. He took the place of the story, the poor and humble Galilee town of Cana, and drew it into a luxurious wedding in 16th century Venice.

Of course, this is based on the request of the Convent of San Giorgio Maggiore in Italy. The other party is the owner of the custom-made painting. In order to cater to the other party, Veronese can only do so. There is nothing wrong with this.

It was at this wedding that **** showed his supernatural power to the world for the first time. When the wine at the wedding banquet was drunk, **** immediately turned all the drinking water into fine wine for everyone to continue drinking.

In order to paint this huge painting, Veronese spent a total of fifteen months and painted more than 130 figures, many of which were European nobles and artists at the time.

In this painting, we can see the Queen of England, Francis I, the Sultan of Turkey, Titian, the teacher of Veronese, and Tintoretto, who is also the three masters of the Venetian school.

Of course, Veronese himself is also indispensable. He painted himself in the most conspicuous position, the musician sitting in the front, in the middle of the painting, wearing a white robe and playing.

This behavior of Veronese set a precedent for the ethos. In the "Freedom to Lead the People" that we have seen before, Delacroix is ​​imitating him and drawing himself into the painting! "

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Betty and the others chuckled lightly.

When the laughter fell, Ye Tian immediately continued to explain the world famous painting that was born in the late Renaissance.

At the same time, he also secretly turned on perspective, thoroughly inspecting all the details inside and outside of the painting, without missing any corner.

Unfortunately, apart from seeing the poor bride hiding in an inconspicuous corner sulking, he didn't find any hidden secrets in this painting, nor did he have any surprises.

About three or four minutes later, Ye Tian just finished explaining the painting.

Next, they stayed in front of this painting for a while, carefully admiring it, and then moved away to admire another famous Italian painting hanging on the side wall.

Time passed by a little bit Twenty minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

After enjoying the many paintings displayed in this exhibition hall, Ye Tian and the others finally came to "Mona Lisa", ready to appreciate this world's most famous immortal painting!

At this time, the number of visitors gathered in front of the "Mona Lisa" was already a little less than before, but there were also more than 20!

If you want to enjoy "Mona Lisa" up close, you must squeeze out of the crowd and get to the front!

Of course Ye Tian wouldn't do things like this kind of hate.

While standing still, he gave Matisse a wink and asked them to move forward, so that he and Betty could get as close as possible to the "Mona Lisa" and see more clearly.

Matisse, who received the signal, immediately took two security personnel to step forward, using his powerful body to forcibly squeeze out a passage.

Ye Tian led Betty to follow, and walked straight to the front "Mona Lisa" along the passage that Matisse and the others squeezed out!
