Chapter 2216: Da Vinci Room

After watching "The Prodigal Son Turns Back", Ye Tian and the others went around the display wall at the entrance, entered the exhibition hall, and began to admire the other 23 paintings displayed in the exhibition hall, each of which was made by the artist Rembrandt.
Next, they continued to appreciate the outstanding works of famous Western painters such as Rubens, Tiepolo, Gauguin, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Goya, Renoir, Picasso, etc.
With their footsteps, a nearly complete history of Western painting from the Renaissance until the beginning of the twentieth century was presented before everyone, very concrete.
In other places, the names of top art masters such as Raphael, Titian, and Rembrandt will cause a huge sensation when they appear in any painting exhibition or auction.
But in the Western European Art Gallery of the Hermitage Museum, these deafening names are just one of many top art masters.
The Western European Art Museum is the most shining jewel in the crown to the Hermitage Museum. The original collection of Catherine the Great began with these Western European paintings.
Of course, the history of Western painting that everyone has appreciated is not complete, because the most important art master and the works of this art master have not yet appeared!
This master of art is Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters of Renaissance art. His works are "The Virgin of Benoa" and "The Virgin Mary of Linda", these two pieces of Hermitage The treasure of the town hall.
When the time came to around five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian and his party walked into the most important hall of Old Hermitage, the famous Da Vinci Hall.
Behind them, Wuyang Wuyang followed many enthusiastic guys, including Russians and tourists from all over the world.
The reason why these guys follow Ye Tian and others is to hear Ye Tian's comments and explanations on many Western European paintings, so that they can be worth the price.
The first time he walked into this famous exhibition hall, Ye Tian took a quick glance at the situation in the exhibition hall in order to be aware of it.
Compared with the other exhibition halls I have visited before, the Da Vinci Hall has a small area, but it is more luxurious and magnificent.
The walls around this exhibition hall are inlaid with white and cyan artificial marble from the ground to the ceiling.
There is a snow-white marble fireplace in the middle of the exhibition hall against the wall, with lapis lazuli inlaid on it, which is made of mosaic. The colonnade on both sides of the mirror above the fireplace is inlaid with jasper.
Above the gate of this exhibition hall, there is a frame with a bas-relief of the Russian Field Marshal, and in the center of the ceiling is the zenith painting of the ancient Greek gods of Olympus.
Of course, this is not the huge mural "Mount Olympus" by Titian on the vault above the Jordan Steps, but the work of another painter.
At the top of the gate, there is a huge painting by Padua, a famous painter of the Venetian School.
In addition, this exhibition hall also displays some other top art works, exquisite tapestries, and gilded crystal chandeliers, etc., which together decorate this exhibition hall with magnificence.
Like the Raphael Hall I visited, this exhibition hall also has several huge floor-to-ceiling windows. At a certain time, sunlight can flow through these floor-to-ceiling windows and spill the entire exhibition hall.
Standing in front of these floor-to-ceiling windows, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery on the Neva River outside the window, with a great view.
Another point is that there are many tourists in the Da Vinci Hall, just like the tide, constantly pouring in and out. It is one of the most crowded and lively places in the museum.
But the arrival of Ye Tian and the others, and the large number of visitors who followed, suddenly made this exhibition hall more crowded, and it was full of people.
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian knew the environment in this exhibition hall well and knew whether there was any danger here.
After confirming the safety of the exhibition hall, he stepped out and walked straight to the center of the exhibition hall. The goal was Da Vinci's outstanding painting, "Our Lady of Benoa".
Three or two steps ago, the group of them had arrived in front of the display case where "Our Lady of Benoa" was located.
Seeing them coming, the tourists who had gathered in front of this display cabinet and were admiring Da Vinci's painting immediately gave up a passage directly in front of the display cabinet.
Naturally, Ye Tian and the others would not refuse this kind of good deed. They walked directly through this passage and came to the guardrail in front of "Our Lady of Benoa".
Of course, to enjoy this special treatment, there is a price to pay, and Ye Tian is no exception.
The price he has to pay is to explain this outstanding Da Vinci painting to everyone on the scene so that people can better appreciate this painting.
When they came to stand in front of the guardrail, Ye Tian and the others immediately looked at the "Our Lady of Benoa" displayed in a special bulletproof glass showcase.
This is an oil painting. The size is small, no more than 32 cm wide and about 50 cm high. It is inlaid in a gilded and engraved classicist style frame, which looks solemn and elegant.
Because of the age too old, the surface of this oil painting is slightly mottled, covered with small cracks, and slightly faded, but it does not affect the appreciation and the protection is not bad.
Since it is the Virgin Mary, the protagonist of this painting is naturally the Virgin Mary.
The painting shows the Virgin Mary when she was young, with the baby holding the red fruit, with a happy smile, looking down at her child.
She held the Holy Child in one hand and a flower in the other, teasing the child with flowers.
Childish sat on her lap, watching the flower in his mother's hand, and stretched out his right hand, trying to reach the flower.
Thus, the movements of the mother and son playing with flowers constitute the theme of the entire painting, and the vertical central axis of the painting, impartially, passes through the place where the three hands gently intersect, becoming the center point of the whole painting.
It can be seen from the picture that the Virgin Mary in this oil painting is very vivid, revealing the maternal brilliance of a secular mother, rather than a high and rigid medieval Virgin.
Especially the bright smile on the face of the Virgin, highly summarizes the happiness of young women facing their children in reality and the endless love that overflows their eyes.
The background of the picture is rather dark. There is a window in the upper right corner. The window has two arched window lattices. Through the open windows, you can see the clear blue sky outside.
In order to show the sacredness ~EbookFREE.me~ there is a bright aperture above the heads of the Virgin and the Holy Child, which are very conspicuous.
Ye Tian and the others stood in front of the guardrail, admiring this top-level artwork intently. In a blink of an eye, they were completely attracted by this outstanding painting, and secretly amazed at Leonardo’s art.
Compared with David and the others, Ye Tian saw more things and gained more.
As soon as everyone came to the guardrail, a surprise flashed deep in his eyes, but because the cover was so good, no one noticed it.
What surprises him is the few mysterious characters hidden in this "Madonna of Benoa". These mysterious characters are very clever and hidden, and it is difficult to be noticed.
But in Ye Tian's eyes, they were extremely clear, just like bright lights in the dark!
And similar to the mysterious characters, the previous "Mona Lisa" and "Our Lady of the Rocks" in the Louvre, another "Our Lady of the Rocks" in the British Museum, the "Last Supper" in Milan, etc. Have seen it all!
