Chapter 1316: Da Vinci's paintings

Standing in "The Oath of Brother Holas" for a while, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Mr. Steven, please explain this famous painting to everyone. Although everyone knows about this painting, it is very shallow and knows nothing about the deeper things!"
"Yes, Mr. Steven, let me explain it to everyone. About this famous painting, everyone here must want to know a little more!"
Someone agreed, and his voice was full of expectation.
Ye Tian turned to look at the many visitors around, then smiled and nodded and said:
"Since everyone is willing to listen, then I will explain it to you. When it comes to "The Oath of the Brothers of Horace" by Jacques Louis David, I have to talk about the time and background of the creation of this oil painting.
Only by understanding this background knowledge can everyone better understand the meaning of this painting, as well as its important position and influence in the history of Western art and French art.
This "The Oath of the Brothers of Horace" was a painting ordered by the French King Louis XVI to the painter David. The content of the painting was also designated by Louis XVI. At that time, David's reputation was still very ordinary.
After receiving the task, David did not create according to the requirements of the French royal family, but deliberately strengthened the fortitude and determination of the characters in the painting. This is very obvious in the painting.
For the survival of the nation, and to save the motherland, we can only sacrifice family and personal interests! The characters in the painting have solemn expressions and passionate movements. The classical architecture in the background also highlights this solemn atmosphere.
Once this painting came out, it caused a huge sensation. Its classical heroism theme, solemn color and rigorous composition made it a representative work of the classical school.
Because of this "The Oath of the Brothers of Horace", David became famous in one fell swoop and quickly established his position in the painting and cultural circles. Later, he was promoted as the founder of the neoclassical school.
When the French people sang the revolutionary song ‘Either Victory or Death’ and rushed to the front line to fight a decisive battle with foreign interfering forces and aristocratic exiles, the drum action of this painting was very obvious!
It can be said that during the French Revolution, this "Oath of the Brothers of Horace" was a banner of revolution and a spiritual portrayal of countless revolutionaries. The importance is evident,..."
Listening to Ye Tian's professional explanation and admiring this outstanding painting full of heroism, almost all visitors at the scene were immersed in the wonderful artistic conception created by the painting.
At this time, they seemed to be in the ancient Roman city, incarnate as one of the three brothers of Horace, preparing to take over the sword from the old Horace, and rush to the fighting arena without turning back!
Next, they will fight against fierce opponents and friends they know well, meet the unknown destiny, and decide the survival of Rome!
Either return victorious or die in battle!
This vigorous and heroic shout, resounded in the hearts of almost every visitor, making everyone excited about it!
At the same time, these visitors felt that they were on the streets of Paris at the end of the eighteenth century, during the French Revolution, in the most passionate and exciting era of glory!
At this moment, they seem to have become revolutionaries on the streets of Paris, full of passion and passion!
They held high the banner of ‘freedom, equality, and fraternity’ and sang the revolutionary song of "Either Victory or Death", marching in big strides, marching towards the Bastille, marching towards the battlefield!
Before "The Oath of Brother Horace", only Ye Tianqing's voice echoed in the air, and then there was a heavy and rapid breathing!
Other than that, there are no other sounds here.
Not only the many visitors in front of this painting, but also the visitors in front of the next few paintings, they turned their heads and looked here, listening to Ye Tian's explanation, everyone was very focused.
In about two or three minutes, Ye Tiancai finished explaining this top-level famous painting. His explanation was extremely thorough and extremely vivid!
As soon as his voice fell, thunderous applause broke out on the scene.
"Papa Papa"
Everyone on the scene was applauding, for Ye Tian's wonderful explanation, and applauding for the top famous painting in front of him. The warm applause resounded through the entire Louvre gallery.
The applause fell, and they carefully admired the painting again. Ye Tian and the others reluctantly stepped away and walked to the next painting to continue to appreciate the many top artworks displayed here!
The next painting is also a well-known top-level work of art, from the famous painter Botticelli of the Florentine School of Renaissance in Italy.
Unconsciously, Ye Tian and the others have entered the Louvre Grand Gallery for more than an hour, and they have appreciated dozens of world-famous paintings.
That's it, given a choice, the focus of their choice is those top paintings that occupy a special place in art history, are famous, and have extraordinary artistic value!
For the other relatively unfamous paintings, they can only glance at them quickly and pass by!
Otherwise, if you carefully appreciate each painting, stay in front of it for a few minutes, and explain it, they may still be staying near the entrance of the big gallery.
At that speed, if you want to see all the paintings in the big gallery, you have to stay here for at least a few days.
After admiring another famous painting, Ye Tian and the others continued to walk forward, and finally came to one of the most important paintings of the Great Gallery, Leonardo da Vinci's "Our Lady of the Rocks".
When Ye Tian walked to this world-famous painting, his emotions became agitated, his eyes suddenly brightened, and his excitement shone straight, like a searchlight.
Betty walking by his side, Anderson on the other side, and many other visitors who followed, everyone behaved the same, everyone was very excited!
You know, this is an outstanding painting by Leonardo da Vinci, a famous Italian painter, one of the three great Renaissance masters, and the only all-rounder in human history.
Apart from Leonardo’s great fame, the painting "Our Lady of the Rocks" itself is also very good, and it is a well-deserved top-level artwork!
In this "Mother of the Rocks", Leonardo da Vinci used his famous foggy perspective technique to the fullest. It can be called a textbook of foggy perspective technique, which is breathtaking!
After standing still in front of this painting, Ye Tian couldn't wait to start to admire this world-famous outstanding painting, looking very focused.
"Our Lady of the Rocks" is an altarpiece made by Leonardo da Vinci for the church of San Francesco in Milan, Italy at the request of a religious group.
In this painting, the Virgin Mary is in the center of the picture. She is holding the baby St. John with her right hand. Jesus, who is also a baby, sits on her left. Behind is an angel in red!
The position of the three main characters in the painting ~EbookFREE.me~ is a perfect triangle composition, and the three main characters respond to each other with gestures.
The background of the whole painting is a deep cave with some flowers and plants dotted with it. The cave is transparent and light penetrates into the cave from the outside, illuminating the space in the cave!
Undoubtedly, this is a traditional religious painting, but from the expression and composition layout, we can see Leonardo's profound artistic attainments.
In particular, the use of smoke-like brushwork, scientific and rigorous realism, perspective, and reduction techniques when portraying characters and environments clearly demonstrate Da Vin’s marvelous painting techniques.
Anyone who has studied the art of the Renaissance can tell at a glance that Leonardo has reached an unprecedented realm in dealing with the dialectical relationship between realistic realism and artistic processing!
And in terms of the artistic treatment of the plot, the unusual and elusive scenery, the organic fusion of the characters and the environment, the clever use of light, and the character images illuminated by the noble beauty, etc.
Da Vinci also used his own brushes to show his unique novelty, which is completely different from many famous painters of the same period!
