Chapter 2211： Clear and endless grassland

As Ye Tian said before, Raphael’s "Madonna and Child" is a small wood-panel oil painting, which looks only the size of an adult man’s palm, only 17.5 cm wide and 18 cm high. .

Although it is very pocket-sized, this famous oil painting is of great artistic value. It is famous in the history of Western art and is a valuable and top art.

This oil painting is housed in a classicism-style gold frame, radiating dazzling golden light, and hung in a bulletproof glass display case that also has gold as the main body.

The 　　 display cabinet is over two meters high. The side facing everyone is high-definition transparent bullet-proof glass, which is convenient for visitors to appreciate this top-of-the-art artwork. The other three sides are made of unusually strong and thick alloy.

This golden display cabinet is not only very strong and difficult to destroy, but also a special high-end safe.

Once the bulletproof glass of the 　　 display cabinet is attacked, the defense function will be activated immediately, and Raphael's "The Virgin and Child" will be received in the belly of the display cabinet for protection, and an alarm will be issued.

Looking at the golden bullet-proof glass display case and the classic gold frame, everyone can't help being amazed by the Russian mastery, and feel dazzled.

But what fascinates everyone, or attracts everyone's attention, is the outstanding painting of Raphael, one of the three masters of Renaissance art in the golden frame, "The Virgin and Child".

On this small wood-panel oil painting, the Virgin Mary holds the Son **** in her arms, sitting on a chair, looking down at the open Bible in her hand, and the Son in her arms, turning to look at the Bible.

The expressions of both mother and son are very focused. The image of the Virgin is holy and elegant, with the brilliance of motherhood; the image of the Son **** is innocent with a sacred flavor.

The background of 　　's paintings are snow-covered mountains, clear lakes, tall trees and other idyllic scenery, which set off a tranquil and elegant taste, reflecting the vivid painting beauty.

Due to the age too old, and it is a wood-panel oil painting, the surface of this oil painting inevitably has some small cracks, and the color is slightly faded.

However, this does not affect the artistry of the painting, but adds a bit of historical vicissitudes.

Unknowingly, everyone has been completely attracted by this painting and blended into the wonderful artistic conception created by the painting.

And the dignified and elegant image of the Virgin in the painting, as well as the sacred breath revealed, touched almost everyone on the scene and made everyone smile beautiful.

And this is the unique charm of the Madonna painted by Raphael, which no one can match.

Although Ye Tian is not a Christian and has no interest in such religious stories, he was also moved by Raphael's painting and quietly admired it.

While admiring this painting, he did not forget to turn on perspective, and secretly saw through this top-level artwork completely.

As far as I can see, the golden bulletproof glass showcase in front of me, the gold frame inside the showcase, and Raphael's "Mother and Child" are instantly transparent.

He didn't find any hidden secrets on this priceless top art piece, but he saw the whole process of Raphael's creation of this oil painting and saw many traces left by Raphael.

At this moment, he seemed to have traveled more than five hundred years ago, standing behind Raphael like a ghost, witnessing how Raphael used his talents to create this oil painting.

In addition, Ye Tian also took a thorough look at the golden showcase in front of him, knowing its structure clearly.

It is a pity that he is not an art thief, and he disdains it. For him, it is useless to understand the structure of this golden showcase.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian had already finished the perspective and found nothing.

Then he ended the perspective and continued to admire the top art piece from the Renaissance in front of him, with an intoxicating appearance.

The rest of the people on the scene are the same. They all admired the painting fascinatingly. As for the performance or the truthfulness, only the person involved knows.

After a long time, everyone just woke up.

Immediately afterwards, there was a voice of admiration.

"Wow! This oil painting is so beautiful! As expected of Raphael, one of the three masters of Renaissance art, his paintings always touch people and always give people a sense of sacredness. It's amazing. !"

"Yes, admiring Raphael's Madonna is always a heart-warming joy. This is Raphael. It will always be the ‘clear and endless grassland’ in people’s hearts, the embodiment of ideal beauty"

Everyone at the scene was amazed. Everyone looked drunk. As for how many people at the scene understood the painting, it is unknown.

After some exclamation, someone on the scene immediately said loudly:

"Mr. Steven, you are the world's top antique art appraisal expert, with a sharp vision. Can you explain this Raphael's "Madonna and Child"? I believe everyone wants to hear it. "

Following these words, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to his response.

Even the experts and scholars of the Hermitage Museum such as Mikhail looked at Ye Tian one after another with the intention of taking school examinations.

Ye Tian turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from, then glanced at everyone on the scene, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Well, it's better to be respectful. Since everyone is praising and want to listen to my explanation, then I can't refuse, let's explain this Raphael's "Madonna and Child"."

Before the voice fell, there was already a warm applause.

"Papa Papa"

Everyone at the scene was applauding, and they gave their own applause.

When the applause fell a little, Ye Tianqinglang's voice immediately came out again, and he began to explain the custom artwork in front of everyone on the scene.

"As we all know, Raphael, one of the three masters of Renaissance art, has a deep belief in the Virgin Mary. Through the brush in his hand, the Virgin Mary painted by him is always holy, elegant and dignified.

Raphael painted many famous statues of the Virgin in his life, the most famous of which is "The Sistine Madonna", whose artistic value is not inferior to the "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci at the Louvre in Paris. .

The little "Madonna and Child" in front of you was created by Raphael around 1502 It is probably the last one from Umbria to Florence by Raphael. Oil painting has a special meaning.

In 1871, the then Russian Tsar Alexander II bought this painting from Italy and gave it to Queen Maria. Since then, this famous painting has been kept in the Winter Palace.

In 1970, the former Soviet Union issued a set of seven stamps of the famous European paintings collected by the Soviet Museum. The famous painting on the first stamp is this Raphael's "Madonna and Child",..."

Next, Ye Tian combined the content and drawing skills of "The Virgin and Child" to introduce this painting and the related stories hidden behind this top-level artwork in detail.

Same as before, his explanation is still very professional and vivid, which made everyone on the scene listen to it with gusto and have a deeper understanding of this top art piece.

Even the experts and scholars of the Hermitage Museum, Mikhail, were unconsciously attracted by Ye Tian's explanation. While listening, they secretly thumbed up and admired them.

In a blink of an eye, five or six minutes passed.

Ye Tian's explanation is over, and the scene is quiet again.

However, no one left here. Everyone was watching the "Madonna and Child" intently, and everyone had a new harvest.

After a moment of quiet appreciation, Ye Tian and the others stepped out of this showcase and walked to another bulletproof glass showcase not far away.

In the bulletproof glass showcase, another outstanding painting by Raphael, "The Holy Family" is displayed.
