Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 922
The Vatican Museum, located in the smallest country in the world, has the largest collection of treasures in the world. It can be said bluntly that any of these collections is enough to become the treasure of some small museums.
There are 300 doors and more than 2,700 keys in the museum, which are managed by 10 key managers, five people are responsible for opening the doors, and five key managers are responsible for closing the doors. It takes one hour to open the door once a day and 90 minutes to close the door once a day.
Whether it is closing or opening the door, it must follow the established route. Generally speaking, when tourists enter the museum, the first thing they see is the Hall of Muse with the "remnant body" that is closed first or opened last. Those who know its secrets can easily get lost in the museum.
In addition to the "high technology" at the entrance, there are no other anti-theft measures inside the museum. The only modern facility is the elevator.
From the Pine Cone Courtyard on the second floor, you can take the elevator down to the vicinity of the Sistine Chapel. After all, this is a passage only known to employees.
If you don't have evil intentions or greed, you will only focus on appreciating its beauty when you see those precious works of art, which is more effective than any kind of high-tech security facilities.
With no bulletproof glass or any aggressive anti-theft measures, the most heavily guarded area is the underground secret archives.
But if the intruder goes in with a machine gun and shoots, neither the Swiss guards nor the flesh and blood of the priests and nuns can stop it. It's just that the intruder will fight with Napoleon's army and the Protestants who caused the catastrophe of Rome. same.
There is a dress code in the museum, and women's skirts cannot show their knees, but the secular requirements for coming from afar are not strict, and it doesn't matter if you cover it with a scarf.
Although it is a museum, it is not a leisure place. Except for the last Sunday at the end of the month, the Vatican Museum is closed every Sunday.
In addition, when the cardinal elects a new pope, the library will also be closed, and the sound of closing doors from the depths of the corridor makes people feel hairy.
Even building a parking lot has the potential to uncover monuments, such as one behind the Vatican Museums, which once housed the tombs of pagans who worshiped Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, in the third century.
Early Christianity worshiped monotheism, which conflicted with the worship of polytheism in Rome. In order to preach, missionaries used many pagan elements. The Romans believed that believing in Christianity was treason, so they suppressed it. Christians could only secret gathering.
Orvieto also has underground cities. These caves were built by the Etruscans who settled here more than 2,000 years ago. They were originally used to raise edible white pigeons. In the Middle Ages, more than 400 underground caves were excavated in the channel. These caves were used by local people for various emergency and temporary purposes, and became a refuge for residents to avoid wars or an escape route to the outside world.
These caves are now used by the locals for wine cellars, but individual caves have other uses. If a person's eyes are blindfolded, other senses are sharpened. It is generally believed that a blind piano tuner is more sensitive than normal The tuner's tuning is more accurate.
In those underground caves, Joseph, who was blindfolded, could always hear voices like whispers, and sometimes screams, but after taking off the blindfold, those voices disappeared, as if he had experienced it before. All of them are hallucinations.
I am afraid that no one will link Orvieto and the Vatican like him. The town built on volcanic ash still maintains its medieval appearance, full of vineyards and pine trees.
What's more, the sanctuary of the bloody Eucharist existed before Michelangelo painted the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel, and it is far-fetched to force them together.
The Mayan civilization records that the earth has been destroyed four times, and the sun will disappear each time.
Compared with meteorites hitting the earth, Joseph believed that volcanic ash covered the sun, making plants unable to photosynthesize, which eventually led to the extinction of dinosaurs. At least now scientists have not found such a large crater. Quite a lot.
In the face of such a catastrophe, all the persistent and troubled problems become unimportant, and it is not easy to keep the bottom line of "human".
The human body is a kind of receiver. When a demon passes by, it feels negative and chaotic emotions. When an angel flies overhead, it feels warmth and courage.
"Are you ready?" Lisa asked with a smile in front of the chapel door.
Joseph took a deep breath and nodded, "Ready."
So Lisa pushed open the door. Unlike the crowded scene during the day, there was no one in the chapel. The shock brought by the "Genesis" that the blind cannot see is hard to describe in words.
The first painting facing the entrance is Noah drunk.
After 150 days, the flood gradually receded, leaving Noah's family and the animals and plants in the ark in the world. After that Noah began to till the land, opened up a vineyard, and planted the first grapes.
Later, he started to make wine again. One day he drank the wine in the garden and passed out naked in his tent. When his second son, Coham, saw it, he went to tell his brothers Sem and Japhet. The latter two took the robes, stepped back into the tent and covered their father with their backs, without looking at him. naked body.
After Noah sobered up, he cursed the Khan, asking God to let the Khan's son, the Canaan family, be slaves of the Japheth family. He was rude after drinking, but he blamed his son and punished his grandson as a slave.
Michelangelo was like this, he wanted to paint nudes, not only the Church disagreed, but even Leonardo Da Vinci felt it was inappropriate, only Luke Bunorell's painting of The Last Judgment had many nude figures.
After Michelangelo's sculpture David was completed, Leonardo Da Vinci suggested that he should find something to cover him. Finally, David was forced to wear 28 copper fig leaves to hide his shame.
If the Pozzias had to find one good thing, it was the meanness, the licentiousness of their lives, and the outright corruption that was so common among Renaissance aristocrats.
There is already an existence like the Bozia family who doesn't take incest and murder seriously. As long as they are a little bit better than them, they are considered "gentlemen" in the eyes of the people.
The Medici family is not a good person. Pope Leo X has never been a priest for a day. When he was elected pope, he was just an acolyte. The Pope's coronation was only held after the bishop's feat.
According to legend, when he was elected Pope, he once said to his younger brother, "Since God has given me the position of Pope, let me enjoy it well."
After assuming the throne, he squandered the public funds of the Holy See and also used private wealth generously to speed up the progress of the St. Peter's Basilica project, increase the collection of books in the Vatican, and make Rome the center of Western culture again.
As the best painter, Leonardo da Vinci did not leave many paintings in Rome. His interest at the time was mirror making. When da Vinci was an apprentice in Verrocchio's workshop, he participated in the production of hangings. Fabrication of the Bronze Ball on the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore.
He is the best painter in the world, but he is obsessed with his rare and outstanding talent in art, but is obsessed with understanding science.
Da Vinci also received a commission, but did not complete it, because what attracted him at the time was the technique of refining varnish, which can be used to protect the surface of oil paintings.
He had long forgotten what the contract was. At that time, there was Da Vinci's unfinished "Battle of Anghiari" on the wall of Florence's city hall, and there was Michelangelo's unfinished "Battle of Canarsis". Who, the young Michelangelo had no respect for Da Vinci, who was 23 years older than him, mocking his overly gorgeous dress, his elegant gentlemanly demeanor, and his too many unfinished works.
The biggest difference between the two murals is the characters. All the members of the "Battle of Anghiari" wear armor, while the members of the "Battle of Canarsi" don't wear clothes.
Leonardo da Vinci's drawing captures the unbearable intensity of battle, where desperate men clash horribly with screaming horses.
Michelangelo's paintings show uncharacteristically weird images - are the naked men fighting a war or taking a Turkish bath?
The "artistic duel" between two masters of art ended in a "no problem" because Michelangelo at that time received a commission from the Sistine Chapel.
"How does it feel?" Lisa asked triumphantly, as if the place was her masterpiece.
"I don't know what to say." Joseph said, looking at the characters painted with "fig leafs" in "The Last Judgment".
The Jesus in the painting is very young, unlike the bearded or crucified images in ordinary religious paintings, it looks full of healthy vitality.
It was like he was born again.
By the way, where did David's fig leaf go?
The aristocrats of the Renaissance were shameless and bachelors. This is better than being immoral with a fig leaf. I heard that American hackers are going to break the news, and the people who eat melons move their small benches and wait to watch the excitement.
