Chapter 1309: Venus of Milo

In a blink of an eye, two hours passed.
Ye Tian and the others have walked out of the Michelangelo corridor and came to an atrium courtyard next to the corridor. There are also many exquisite sculptures standing here, full of art!
After admiring the famous "Wrestling" sculpture, Ye Tian and the others continued to walk forward, before they came to the "Bronze Statue of Louis XIV Horseback Riding" on the side of the courtyard, and began to admire this famous sculpture.
After roughly admiring this bronze sculpture, Ye Tian began to explain.
"This is the bronze statue of Louis XIV on horseback. Louis XIV is the King of the Sun. He was the king of the French Bourbon dynasty and the King of Navarra. He reigned in early 72 years and was the longest reigning monarch in the world. !
During the reign of Louis XIV, it was the strongest period of the Bourbon dynasty. He established a centralized monarchy in France and established the hegemony of Western Europe through a series of foreign wars.
In the history of France, Louis XIV has a very important historical position, and he is also a very accomplished king, especially the victory of a series of foreign wars, which made his image become stalwart and tall.
It is a pity that his frequent wars and the extravagant life style in the later period of the ruling period brought the French treasury to the brink of bankruptcy and personally ruined his own image in the hearts of the French people.
Louis XIV became the King of France when he was five years old. After that, he lived in the Louvre for a long 72 years. Out of his love for art, he bought a lot of precious artworks during his reign. .
Even in the era of Louis XIV, top art works were of great value. Louis XIV's mass purchase of top art works undoubtedly greatly accelerated the rate of French financial erosion!
Due to the extravagance of Louis XIV, coupled with the successor to the King of France, Louis XV who said the famous saying "After I die, even if the flood is horrible", the situation in France has become more and more corrupt.
By the time Louis XV’s grandson, Louis XVI succeeded him as King of France, the situation in France has basically reached the point where it is irreversible, and the conditions for the French Revolution have generally matured.
Louis XVI is not a bad king. Compared to the previous two terms, his life should be said to be rather frugal. Because of stuttering, he didn't like to take care of the government, he only liked opening locks, repairing locks, and repairing clocks.
But it is a pity that he married a super prodigal wife, even more crazy and extravagant than the previous two French kings. With the efforts of Queen Mary, the French Revolution finally broke out!
Here, I would like to advise everyone that you must take good care of your wives and never let them buy and buy. Once a woman becomes crazy, no one can stop it, and it may even cause a revolution! "
Upon hearing this, a burst of laughter broke out at the scene.
"Hahaha"
Twenty or thirty visitors around the bronze statue of Louis XIV on horseback laughed aloud, attracting the sight of all the visitors in the entire courtyard.
When the laughter subsided, one of the visitors joked and said:
"Steven, don't warn us, did you do it yourself? As far as I know, you are very extravagant. You live in the most expensive apartment in New York, and you have the best private jets to and from everywhere.
The "Oppenheimer Blue" that you photographed in Antwerp two days ago at a world-record price and beat many competitors, should it be for your girlfriend? Are you not afraid of triggering a revolution? "
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter again at the scene, and everyone was overjoyed.
Betty also smiled, her face a little red, and she was a little bit embarrassed.
Ye Tian turned to look at the visitor, then smiled and said:
"I am not Louis XVI, and my girlfriend is not Queen Mary. Louis XVI only likes repairing locks, unlocking locks, and repairing clocks and watches. He doesn't have the ability to make money at all. Once he has no money, he can only borrow from his subjects!
But you have to repay the borrowed money, even if you are the king of France! If you can't pay back the money, the revolution will naturally break out. The magnificent French Revolution can also be seen as a violent debt collection campaign initiated by creditors! "
"Hahaha"
Everyone on the scene burst into laughter, everyone was crazy happy.
The many French people who were also on the scene rolled their eyes anger, everyone with a dumbfounding expression.
This guy is too good, running the train with his mouth full!
Co-authoring the great French Revolution is nothing more than a violent debt collection operation, full of copper smell, how can it be said to be great!
When the laughter fell slightly, Ye Tian continued to smile and said loudly:
"Compared to the poor and unlucky French King Louis XVI, I have an extremely powerful ability to make money. I am not boasting. Making money is not much more difficult for me than drinking water!
Whether it is New York, USA, Paris, France, or anywhere else, as long as there is an antique art market, I can find valuable treasures. I am extremely confident about this!
My girlfriend is not Queen Mary. Although she likes those dazzling jewels very much, she is not crazy, like'Oppenheimer's Blue', which I gave to her actively! "
Having said this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at Betty, and gently shook her hand, eyes full of love!
Betty is the same, looking at Ye Tian's eyes full of love, very gentle.
No one at the scene had the slightest doubt about what Ye Tian said!
His previous series of legendary achievements, as well as the incomparably deep expertise in antique art appraisal that he has just shown, are enough to show that he is definitely a terrible existence in the antique art market.
Thinking of this, the eyes of many visitors on the scene looking at Ye Tian were immediately full of envy. Some guys' eyes were even red, all because of jealousy!
After staying in this courtyard for a while, after admiring several famous sculptures, Ye Tian and the others left the atrium courtyard.
A few of them chatted with ease, laughed, and while admiring various artworks in the way, they strolled towards the Greek Sculpture Museum.
Behind them, followed by a long line of thirty or forty people ~ EbookFREE.me~ has become a wonder in the Louvre, attracting countless attentions.
The visitors who followed were all attracted by Ye Tian's interesting and very professional explanations, and they reluctantly left one by one, ready to follow them to visit the Louvre.
The Greek Sculpture Museum of the Louvre is also on the first floor, at the junction of the Denon Pavilion and the Sully Pavilion. On the left is the Ancient Roman Pavilion of the Denon Pavilion, and on the right is the Ancient Greek Pavilion of the Sully Pavilion!
While talking, Ye Tian and his party walked into the Greek Sculpture Museum.
As soon as they entered this pavilion, they saw the famous "Venus de Milo" statue, the treasure of the Louvre, one of the world's three treasures.
This beautiful lady, who unfortunately lost her arms and has a red upper body, stands at the entrance of the Greek Sculpture Museum, showing her beauty to every visitor to the Museum!
The moment they saw this sculpture, Ye Tian and the others immediately stopped. Everyone's eyes were completely attracted by this beautiful sculpture, without exception!
"Wow! She is so beautiful, she deserves to be a beauty!"
