Chapter 1688： Swim in the ocean of art

After appreciating "The Three Doctors", Ye Tian and the others soon came to another painting by Da Vinci, before "Annunciation", they began to appreciate this famous top-level artwork.

To be precise, the painting "The Annunciation" is not the work of Leonardo alone, but a painting he completed in collaboration with the artist Verrocchio when he was young.

Verrocchio was a famous painter in the Italian Renaissance and one of the most influential artists in the second half of the 15th century.

He has another more important and more famous identity, he is the teacher of famous painters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli.

Among his students is a famous painter named Perugino, who is one of the three masters of fine arts, Raphael's teacher.

In addition, Verrocchio also had a great influence on Michelangelo.

It can be said that as long as it talks about the Renaissance movement and the three masters of Renaissance art, Verrocchio cannot be avoided.

In the history of Western art, this is a top artist with a very special and very important status.

While watching "The Annunciation", Ye Tian didn't forget to turn on perspective secretly to explore the secrets hidden behind the painting.

Unfortunately, in this famous painting, he did not find the mysterious characters and Fibonacci sequence, which is different from the other Da Vinci paintings I have seen before.

But he discovered that Da Vinci used a lead-free pigment when he painted, and Verrocchio used lead-based pigments.

At first glance, there is nothing strange about this painting other than a top-of-the-range artwork.

However, if this famous painting is scanned under a modern X-ray machine, people will find that the archangel Gabriel painted by Da Vinci disappeared and became invisible.

This is just the little tricks or cleverness that Da Vinci played. It seems not surprising now, but in his era, it is an incredible miracle.

From this point, it can be seen that Da Vinci is worthy of the reputation of a genius in the field and the title of a scientist.

Through the perspective of the painting "Annunciation", Ye Tian also confirmed that Leonardo was not an alien like some mysterious legends.

At least in this painting, Ye Tian has not found evidence that Leonardo is an alien. He is just a talented and intelligent top artist, or a genius in all fields.

After appreciating this "Annunciation", Ye Tian and the others also appreciated other top art works also displayed in this exhibition hall, and continued to swim in the ocean of art.

This includes the works of the famous Padova painter Mantenia, the works of the famous Venetian school painters Bellini and Giorgione, the works of the famous innovative painter Correggio and so on.

Without exception, every piece of art displayed in this exhibition hall is beautiful and invaluable. It is a well-deserved top art piece, which is pleasing and intoxicating!

When Ye Tian and the others walked out of the northern painter's showroom, it was already past six in the afternoon.

Because of time, they can only spend the next visit, greatly increasing the speed of the visit, otherwise it would be impossible to visit the remaining exhibition halls of the Uffizi Gallery.

In the gallery of German painters, they saw the outstanding works of top art masters such as Dürer and Cranach, each of which can be called a German national treasure.

In the subsequent post-Renaissance showroom, they saw two other treasures of the Uffizi Gallery, Raphael's "Virgin of the Goldfinch" and Michelangelo's "Sagrada Familia".

Through perspective, in Raphael's "The Madonna of the Goldfinch", Ye Tian also discovered two hidden secrets, which had never been discovered before!

However, these two secrets are related to this painting, and they do not point to a treasure somewhere. For Ye Tian, ​​it is of no use to discover it or not, and he does not do art research.

In addition to these two treasures of the town hall, in this exhibition hall, there are also outstanding works by the famous Tuscan painter Manierist and others.

The following Venetian school showroom displays a series of outstanding works by famous Venetian school painters such as Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, etc.

Among them, Titian's "Flower God" and "Venus of Urbino" are the most outstanding and the most precious. These two top artworks are also the treasures of the Uffizi Gallery. .

Even if they watched the flowers and waited for Ye Tian to finish visiting the remaining exhibition halls and admiring the top art displayed in these exhibition halls, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the sky outside was completely dark.

Because he knew the curator of the Uffizi Museum and Ye Tian had a huge influence in the field of antique art collection, the Uffizi Museum opened a special case and extended the closing time for more than two hours.

It wasn't until Ye Tian and the others visited all the exhibition halls and appreciated most of the top artworks on display that the Uffizi Gallery closed and ended today's exhibition activities.

If not, Ye Tian and the others can only leave today with regret, and they will come here again when they have the opportunity to visit.

When Ye Tian and the others walked out of the last exhibition hall unsuccessfully and were about to leave the Uffizi Gallery, they saw at a glance that several old and new friends were waiting at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

Among them are Filippo, Director of the Uffizi Gallery, Director of the Renaissance Art Department of the Uffizi Gallery, and Mario, Dean of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts.

Seeing these old and new friends, Ye Tian immediately put a big smile on his face and walked over quickly.

"Good evening, gentlemen, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. It's a pleasure to meet you, Filippo, and I want to thank you very much, Uffizi Gallery.

Thank you for your generosity and giving us plenty of time to allow us to fully appreciate the top art displayed in this famous art gallery, instead of leaving with regret"

Philippo shook hands with Ye Tian with a smile on his face, and then said politely:

"Good evening, Steven, you are such an energetic guy, full of enthusiasm, and even a little sleepless, no wonder you can achieve such a great achievement.

At this point, I also understand a little bit. Why is your guy's vision so sharp and why is the knowledge about antique art so deep? Your learning style is a bit scary.

Now that you have come to Florence and come to visit the Uffizi Gallery, that is our honor, and it should be closed later. There is no need to thank you. To be honest, we also want to be popular! "

Next, Ye Tian greeted several others one by one, shook hands, and said a few polite words.

After a short greeting, Mario asked curiously:

"Steven, how do you plan your next itinerary? I read the news report before and said you will go to Rome next"

Ye Tian nodded slightly and then said with a smile:

"Tomorrow we are going to visit the Pitti Palace on the opposite bank of the Arno River, and then we will leave Florence, go to the fashion capital of Milan, and then go to Rome.

I have been admired for the Milan Canal Antique Market, Milan Cathedral, Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "The Last Supper", etc., of course I cannot miss it! "

Hearing this, the Italians in front of them couldn't help but shudder secretly, and their backs were cold.

Don't ask! The antique dealers in Milan are in bad luck, and they can't escape the tragic fate of being ransacked by Steven, just like the antique dealers in Florence!

While talking, everyone has walked out of the Uffizi Gallery.

Afterwards, Ye Tian and the others left and drove back to the Medici Villa Hotel.

At this time, the atmosphere in the old city of Florence, shrouded by night, is still very tense. Policemen patrolling with guns and live ammunition can be seen everywhere on the streets, all on high alert, like enemies.
