Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1325 The Secret of Notre Dame de Paris

? Under the perspective, Ye Tian immediately saw clearly the "Coronation of Napoleon I" in front of him. The painter David's delicate brushstrokes, oil paint, traces of painting shovel, canvas, and the wall behind, etc.

All of these are clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes, without any omission!

Even the other world-famous painting hanging on the other side of the wall, and the few visitors in front of that painting, were seen through by Ye Tian at a glance, without any secrets at all.

However, since the area of ​​"The Coronation of Napoleon I" is too large, as high as more than 50 square meters, from where Ye Tian is standing, it is impossible to see through the entire painting at a glance, only a little bit.

The first thing he sees is the central area where Napoleon and Josephine are located. This is where David painted the most and is also the focus of the whole painting. The picture is almost perfect!

It's a pity that Ye Tian didn't find any hidden secrets in this central area, but only saw the superb painting skills of the painter David, which is amazing!

After secretly feeling a lot, Ye Tian immediately shifted his target and began to see through the area where the Pope and his entourage are, which is the secondary area of ​​this painting!

Still nothing, no hidden secrets!

Under the pen of the painter David, the depressed expression of Pope Pius VII, as well as the aggrieved appearance of daring to speak out, are vividly displayed.

The cardinal and many attendants standing on the sides and behind of Pius VII also had very gloomy expressions, and they couldn't look any better.

Next, Ye Tian turned his gaze to where Napoleon's mother was, and began to see through that area.

Compared with other characters in the painting, Napoleon's mother was obviously added later. This is proved by the traces of sketches on the canvas, and there was no Napoleon's mother in the original sketch.

Although this is a brand new discovery, it is not the secret that Ye Tian wants to see.

Like the places I have seen through before, there are no surprising discoveries in this area.

Afterwards, Ye Tian successively checked the area where the painter David was, where Napoleon's younger brothers and sisters were, and where other princes and nobles and envoys from various countries watched the ceremony, but found nothing.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian has thoroughly seen through all the places where there are figures in this painting.

Only the background of the painting and some decorations remain without perspective.

For Ye Tian, ​​this result is undoubtedly a bit disappointing. Could it be that there is no hidden secret in this painting? I just think too much!

Although he thought so in his heart, Ye Tian didn't end his perspective!

After a short pause, he looked at the background of the painting, the place where the coronation ceremony was held, the interior environment and decoration of Notre Dame de Paris.

On those walls and sculptures, Ye Tian still found nothing. He didn't find any hidden marks or mysterious characters, or numbers.

However, when his gaze swept across a dark green curtain hanging above the viewing platform, he made a surprising discovery.

It was a French address name, 'No. 15 Avenue Channones'. The handwriting was very light and small, and the color was the same as a curtain, and it was covered under a layer of dark green paint.

Because of this, and because it is located in an inconspicuous location where it is impossible for anyone to study it, this line of writing has not been discovered, and the secret has been kept until now.

Channones Avenue, Ye Tian happened to know this street, it is on the Ile de la Cité where Notre Dame Cathedral is located, less than 50 meters away from Notre Dame Cathedral, and not far from the Louvre Museum.

There is a very nice hotel on this street. Before leaving for Europe, when booking a hotel, Ye Tian had considered that five-star hotel.

Later, considering that the hotel is on the island, there is limited space for moving around, and the Regina Hotel is closer to the Louvre Museum and has better scenery, so I did not choose the five-star hotel.

I don't know what building '15 Avenue Channones' is? Is it an ordinary residential building or a hotel? Is it private property or government property? Any chance of buying it?

What secrets does '15 Avenue Channones' hide? Is it about Jacques-Louis David, or about Napoleon? Could there be some great secret or treasure hidden?

After the brief surprise, a series of questions immediately flashed in Ye Tian's mind!

At the same time, he also quickly made a decision to go to No. 15 Channones Street another day to find out what secrets are hidden there, maybe there will be surprising and important discoveries.

During this trip to Paris, Notre Dame de Paris was originally a must-see attraction, and it happened to be a grass and a rabbit, so there was no delay!

If 15 Channones Avenue is indeed hiding some great secret or treasure, then by all means, buy that building and start the treasure hunt!

No matter which building belongs to a private person or the French government, as long as it is not an annex to Notre Dame Cathedral, Ye Tian is sure to take it down, it's just a question of more money and less money!

Next, Ye Tian looked through the rest of the painting, not letting go of any corner.

However, he never found other characters or addresses, '15 Channones Avenue' is the only hidden secret of this world famous painting.

It took about ten seconds for Ye Tian to thoroughly see through the "Coronation Ceremony of Napoleon I" and received a surprise with an unknown answer.

Immediately afterwards, he withdrew his gaze, ended the perspective, and continued to explain this world-famous painting to Betty and the others.

"...David painted two "The Coronation of Napoleon I", one is in front of everyone, and the other is preserved in the Palace of Versailles.

These two paintings are almost identical, the only difference is in the color of Napoleon's favorite sister Pauline's dress, the one in Versailles has red gauze, this one has white gauze,..."

After two or three minutes, Ye Tian's professional and wonderful explanation finally came to an end.

As soon as his words fell, there was applause all around.

"clap clap"

The applause was very warm, from Betty and the others, as well as several nearby visitors.

After the applause subsided, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

"Steven, your presentation is amazing. It is definitely the best presentation I have ever heard. It is extremely professional and very vivid. It is simply unmatched!"

These words came from Martinez. He and the other two Louvre high-level officials had arrived here for a while, and happened to hear the second half of Ye Tian's explanation.

Hearing this old friend's voice, Ye Tian immediately turned around, looked at the three senior officials of the Louvre Museum, and said politely with a smile on his face:

"It's amazing! Martinez, compared with this "The Coronation Ceremony of Napoleon I", even if my explanation is wonderful, it still pales, and it is not enough to describe the beauty of this famous painting!

These top works of art in the Louvre Museum are simply too beautiful and of such high quality! Simply incomparable! Visiting here is like swimming in the ocean of art, it's so enjoyable!

Martinez, if possible, I would like to change our trading terms a little bit. You don't have to exchange Chinese antiques with me, and I don't mind other top-notch works of art either!

Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" and "Virgin of the Rocks", as well as this "Coronation of Napoleon I", I dare not expect extravagant expectations, and it is impossible for you Louvre to trade them.

I'm not too interested in religious artwork, for reasons you already know, and if you'd be willing to trade Liberty Leading the People or The Oath of the Horatii, I'd be more than happy! "

"You are very willing? But we are not, Steven, you are a greedy bastard! Your appetite is too great, and you dare to play "Liberty Leading the People" and "Oath of the Horatii"!

"Liberty Leading the People" is a symbol of the national spirit of France, and "The Oath of the Horatii" is the battle song of the French Revolution, which inspired countless revolutionaries to fight for freedom.

Want both paintings? I advise you to dispel this unrealistic idea as soon as possible. No matter what kind of antique artwork you exchange, it is impossible to exchange these two unique world famous paintings! "

Martinez said angrily, shaking his head extremely resolutely.

The same goes for the other two high-ranking members of the Louvre, each of them rolled their eyes angrily, but there was nothing they could do.

Many tourists at the scene were frightened by Ye Tian's words, and they all stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, like watching a lunatic.

Can I switch to Liberty Leading the People and Oath of the Horatii? Of course Ye Tian knew it well, unless he could come up with a top-level artwork of the "Mona Lisa", don't even think about it!

After making a few jokes, Ye Tian finally got to the point.

"Martinez, if I'm not mistaken, there must be good news from the Guimet Museum. Have they negotiated the terms of exchange?"

"That's right, the Guimet Museum held a meeting all afternoon, and finally made a decision to exchange with you, and exchange Chinese antique artworks for those Queen Mary's jewelry in your hand.

Let’s talk about the specific exchange conditions in another place. This place is obviously not suitable. We will close the museum in a while. We can find a place to sit down and discuss slowly.”

Martinez said seriously, with excitement in his eyes.

Ye Tian raised his hand and looked at his watch, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Okay then, we have almost finished visiting the French Oil Painting Museum, we can leave now, let's talk in another place, I would like to know the specific exchange terms of the Guimet Museum!"

"In that case, let's go now. The Napoleon III restaurant is not far from here. It's very quiet and can be used to negotiate our deal. Please come with me!"

After speaking, Martinez made a gesture of please, then turned and walked outside the exhibition hall.

Ye Tian greeted Betty and the others, and immediately followed.
