"Treasure Hunt ( to find the latest chapters!
After one after another, everyone continued to admire this "Venus in the Bath", and everyone looked intoxicated.
At the same time, Ye Tian also began to introduce Giorgione, the master of Renaissance art, and the background of creating this oil painting.
"Giorgione was a famous painter of the Venetian school of late Renaissance and one of the most outstanding representative artists of the Venetian school. He is considered the first real Venetian painter and the pioneer of easel painting.
In the history of Western art, Giorgione has a high status. He studied painting under the famous Italian painter Bellini at the time. He was in the same school as Titian, who was younger than him, and the two of them had a very good relationship with brothers. same.
It was he and Titian who founded the famous Venetian school in the history of Western art, and pushed the Venetian school to the pinnacle of art at that time, which directly contributed to the transfer of the late Renaissance painting art center to Venice.
Like Titian, Giorgione is a talented painting genius. During their studies with Bellini, they showed extraordinary genius, the younger Titian, and even considered Giorgione. Idol worship.
Titian likes Giorgione’s hedonistic outlook on life, and Giorgione’s lyrical and dreamlike pastoral style and poetic line colors are a model for Titian to learn to paint. Enshrined as an imperial edict.
For a while, Titian even only imitated Giorgione’s painting style, but instead took his teacher Bellini’s advice as a breeze. The arrogant Bellini couldn’t stand this, so he just chased these two guys away. Out of the studio
After leaving Bellini's studio, the two of them set up a joint studio and became famous in one fell swoop. They became famous young painters at the time. Because the relationship between the two of them was very good, they often worked together to paint together.
Not only did they paint together, they also did a lot of things together, such as indulging in sensuality and having fun, even mistresses, these two guys can share, these two famous art masters are definitely fighters among scumbags! "
"Hahaha!"
There was a lot of laughter at the scene, everyone laughed aloud, and nodded in sympathy.
When the laughter fell slightly, Ye Tian continued:
"In terms of painting art, Giorgione was deeply influenced by Bellini and Leonardo, with a unique and eye-catching style. He is the most lyrical painter in the Venetian school of painting. Regarding this, in this oil painting The above is very clear.
His paintings have beautiful shapes, brilliant colors, soft light and dark relationships, and the natural blending of characters and landscapes, creating a new pattern of landscape painting. At that time, Florentine painters only used landscapes as a foil for figures.
Titian, who studied under the same school, later developed another style. Titian took the Venetian school's good use of color to the extreme. His paintings are colorful and beautiful, setting a new model in Western art.
Although their painting styles are different, they can get along in harmony, and the two are very proficient or extremely good at imitating each other's painting styles, and it is almost difficult to distinguish the true from the false. This paved the way for their cooperation.
Giorgione and Titian often work together to paint together. The most famous work is "The Sleeping Venus", which is collected in the Museum of Masters in Dresden, Germany. Most of the famous oil paintings are made by Giorgione is done.
Unfortunately, when he created the oil painting, it was the period when the Black Death ravaged Venice. The mistress he shared with Titian, that is, the female model in the painting, unfortunately contracted the Black Death. , And then infected him.
Not surprisingly, before finishing painting the "Sleeping Venus", Giorgione and his own Venus goddess died in the epidemic of the Black Death together. After Titian got the news , He helped him complete the oil painting.
In addition to "Sleeping Venus", Titian also helped Giorgione complete several other paintings that he did not complete. Since the two of them had similar painting styles during this period, who was the creator of some of these works? There is still controversy.
Giorgione’s untimely death indirectly made Titian a success. His talents gradually attracted people’s attention. After a few years, their teacher Bellini also died, and Titian became the most Venetian school of painting. Famous painter.
Titian, who is chic and social, began to be called by the courts of Italy and European countries to paint. From this, he began to build his own painting kingdom, became the "sun among the stars", and became an extremely dazzling master. .
In the history of Western art, Titian, known as the “sun among the stars”, is unparalleled. His lifelong friend Giorgione has become a mysterious figure. Giorgione’s tragic life has forced him to Make people embarrassed
Although Giorgione died very early, he had a huge influence on the Venetian school and later Baroque art, etc., and humanist scholars even listed him as a person who can compare with Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. The greatest painter! "
"Hey!"
There was a sigh at the scene, and everyone was struck by Giorgione's tragic experience.
But Ye Tian's explanation did not stop.
"Giorgione was only 32 years old when he died. It can be said that he died young. During his short and glorious artistic career, he created more than 30 works. And so far, it is said that only five oil paintings are in the collection. Among the top museums.
No one would have thought that Giorgione still has a masterpiece of oil painting handed down, which is the "Venus Bathing" in front of everyone. This painting has been hidden in Rome for more than three hundred years. it's here.
This painting inherits the consistent style of Giorgione's paintings, with beautiful shapes, brilliant colors, natural blending of scenery and characters, and like all his paintings, this oil painting does not have his personal signature.
As for what this oil painting will appear in the Venetian Palace, it is actually very easy to explain. In 1507, Giorgione was hired to paint at the Doge's Palace in Venice and became the most prestigious royal painter in Venice at that time.
His works have thus become an important collection of the government of the Republic of Venice. The Palazzo Venezia has been the seat of the embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome for a long time. It is normal to have Giorgione's paintings here.
It’s a pity that this priceless top art piece was stolen by this guy named Philip and hidden secretly. This collection lasted more than three hundred years until we came here. Of course, I want to thank you. Philip! "
Following Ye Tian's explanation , everyone at the scene had a deeper understanding of Giorgione's life and the "Venus in Bath" before him.
At the same time, everyone was more envious of Ye Tian, even scratching their hearts with jealousy!
Why! All the good things fell into this guy's hands. Others only had to be greedy. God is really unfair!
Especially Giovanni and Paul, as well as several other Italians at the scene, watching Giorgione’s "Venus in the Bath", everyone’s eyes are red, and everyone’s heart is Bleeding!
The performance of everyone at the scene was seen by Ye Tian, but he seemed to have seen nothing, without any expression, not even a word of comfort.
After introducing Giorgione's life and the origin of this "Venus in the Bath", Ye Tian stopped the conversation and joined everyone, quietly admiring this top-level artwork, full of obsession.
The scene fell silent again, without any sound.
It wasn't until three to five minutes later that Ye Tian put away the priceless top art piece and said with a smile:
"We have just discovered the sixth work of Giorgione that has been handed down to the world, this "Venus in the Bath". If we can discover the work of his good brother, the artist Titian, it would be too Perfect!"
With that said, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the other picture frame placed in the concealed area, that is, the larger frame with black moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped around it, and prepared to disassemble it.
Hearing what he said, all the Italians on the scene rolled their eyes irritably, and their teeth tickled with anger!
At the same time, they were also staring at the frame that Ye Tian just picked up, feeling very nervous, and a little worried about gains and losses!
