Chapter 1654: The so-called top art

After admiring this tall statue of David, Ye Tian and the others took a few steps forward and ascended to the highest point of the statue's base steps.
After arriving here, the group of them turned around and stood on the steps condescendingly, and began to admire Florence, an ancient city full of humanities and arts.
From where they are, the entire panorama of Florence can be seen.
At the foot of the nearby mountain is the quietly flowing Arno River, like a jade belt, winding from the distant mountains, passing through the city of Florence, and flowing into the distance.
What flows in this river is not only the crystal clear water, but also the history of the ancient city of Florence for more than two thousand years.
Its starting point originated from the Roman Republic during the reign of Emperor Caesar. During this period, it flowed through the extremely glorious and star-studded Renaissance period, and has been flowing to the modern age.
Looking across the quiet Arno River, it is the old town of Florence that has existed for a thousand years.
In this ancient city, there are row upon row of ancient buildings built in various periods and styles, and each building has its own uniqueness, which is worthy of careful taste and serious study.
There is the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, which is known as the world's highest school of fine arts and originated from the Renaissance, and there is the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, known as one of the three European domes.
There are the 82-meter-high, colorful Giotto Bell Tower, the San Giovanni Chapel built around the fifth century, the Renaissance Art Palace, and the Uffizi Gallery!
There are countless ancient bridges in every corner of Florence's old town, including the famous and picturesque Ponte Vecchio!
The Palazzo Vecchio connected by the old bridge, also known as Palazzo Vecchio, was the residence of the Medici family, the ruler of the Renaissance in Florence.
At the entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio, there also stands a statue of Michelangelo's David, which echoes the statue on the Piazza Michelangelo!
Like the statue on the square, the statue of David at the entrance of the Old Palace is also an imitation, but it has a longer history. It has been waiting there since 1873!
There is another famous work by Michelangelo, "Victory", carved on the walls on both sides of the conference hall. It is an authentic work of Michelangelo!
Another famous palace where the Medici family lived, and the most magnificent palace building in Florence, the Pitti Palace, was also clearly visible in Ye Tian's vision.
Standing at the top of the pedestal of the statue of David, overlooking the panoramic view of Florence, this ancient city is more elegant, full of historical charm, and full of humanities and arts, which is fascinating!
After standing on the pedestal steps and watching for a long time, and after carefully admiring the panorama of Florence, Ye Tian and the others reluctantly retracted their eyes and walked down the steps.
Next, the group of them went to San-Miniato not far behind the statue of David. This is a beautiful romantic church that once belonged to the Medici family alone.
In front of this church, there is also a group of sculptures by Michelangelo, which carved a fable.
Like David, the original white marble sculptures have been removed by the Florentine authorities in order to protect these precious sculptures and replaced by a set of bronze replicas.
After the Medici chapel, Ye Tian and the others went to visit the neoclassical loggia designed by Giuseppe Poggi, the designer of Michelangelo Square, and admired the artworks displayed there.
Of course, there is also a personal monument to Giuseppe Poggi.
After appreciating these cultural landscapes, Ye Tian and the others focused on the various activities in the square and the scattered stalls.
As a popular tourist attraction, Piazza di Firenze also has many vendors doing business here to support their families, including many stalls selling antiques and artworks.
As for whether the items on the stall are antique artworks, modern crafts, or worthless rubbish, it depends on the buyers' eyes!
In addition, there are also a few painters who set up stalls to paint. They are of different levels. There are some street performers who perform improvisations, singing, post-dancing, or performing performance art.
Like almost all famous attractions in Europe, there are also many thieves here.
The thieves are mainly Italians, in addition to Gypsies, and North African Arabs, etc., all of them have eyebrows, eyeballs squirming and sneaky, and they don't look like good people.
After enjoying a performance art performance that they didn't know so-called, Ye Tian and the others came to a painting booth, stopped, and began to appreciate the many paintings on the booth with great interest.
It fits well with the temperament of the city of Florence. The paintings on this booth are mainly classical paintings and some realistic landscape paintings.
After admiring the paintings on this booth for a while, Ye Tian only then reached out to one of the paintings and smiled and asked the stall owner and painter:
"Man, this painting looks a bit interesting, what price?"
The painting that Ye Tian was referring to was a classical oil painting. The subject matter came from a biblical story. Judging from the appearance of the painting, it should have some history. It is not a work painted in recent years.
Of course, it's not even the work of the stall owner and painter himself, unless he has very clever skills and can use fake and real old techniques!
Hearing Ye Tian's question, the painter's eyes suddenly brightened, and a ray of excitement flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Following Ye Tian's fingers, the stall owner looked at the painting, with some doubts, he carefully looked at the classical style oil painting.
After pondering for a while, the stall owner had the courage to make a staggering offer.
"Five million euros, Steven, if you are willing to pay five million euros, you can take this painting away!"
After speaking, the stall owner looked at Ye Tian expectantly, looking forward to hearing the best answer, looking forward to seeing Ye Tian nodding his head to accept the offer, then he would make a lot of money!
Hearing the price offered by the stall owner, Ye Tian was stunned, staring at the stall owner dumbfounded, eyes full of incredible.
Immediately afterwards, he laughed loudly.
"Hahaha~EbookFREE.me~5 million euros, the price is really amazing. It seems that this painting is not Leonardo’s or Raphael’s work? Or is it the work of another top artist !
Florence is worthy of being the birthplace and the most important city of the Renaissance. You can see priceless masterpieces and top art works everywhere on the streets. This trip to Italy is really right.
It's a pity that I can't make an accurate judgment, and I won't be blessed. I should leave this top art piece to other destined people. Maybe someone can recognize its origin and buy it! "
After speaking, Ye Tian walked forward with Betty and walked to another stall not far in front, without any lingering nostalgia!
This time, the stall owner was dumbfounded, and he stood there in a daze, staring at Ye Tian's back in a daze.
You didn't even pay the price, turned around and left. It was fun for me to be with you. I didn't even look at this classical oil painting at all. It made me waste my feelings and made a joke!
Thinking of this, the stall owner's face flushed, and his expression was embarrassing!
