Treasure Hunt all over the World

"The painting "Spring" can be called an "encyclopedia of flowers". In this painting, Botticelli painted more than 170 varieties and a total of more than 500 flowers.

Without exception, every flower on this painting is exquisitely crafted, blooming delicately in the spring breeze, so exquisite and perfect, it is pleasing to the eye,..."

Ye Tian continued to explain Botticelli's pinnacle work, which is professional, accurate and very vivid.

At this time, many visitors had gathered in front of this famous painting.

While admiring the spring-like and humanistic painting in front of them, everyone listened to Ye Tian's explanation. Everyone had a fascinated expression.

Many other tourists who were visiting the Uffizi Museum heard that Ye Tian was here to publicly explain Botticelli's "Spring", so they rushed over and joined the listening crowd.

For them, being able to listen to the professional explanations of the top antique art appraisal experts on the spot is a rare opportunity, how can they miss it?

The explanation was still going on, and Ye Tianqing's clear voice echoed in the showroom in Florence in the 15th century and was continuously heard by people.

"In terms of the processing of the characters, Botticelli's processing of the three Graces can be said to be unprecedented, because before him, there has never been such a sensual female body.

However, some people think that the reason why the three goddesses of Meihui can be so naked is because they are goddesses, and the feeling that the goddesses bring to people is a kind of joy without evil thoughts..."

Ye Tian's voice seemed to have magical powers, attracting the attention of everyone on the scene. Wherever he explained, people's gazes would follow.

Even people's minds are attracted by his clear voice, and they enjoy themselves in the wonderful artistic conception created by this masterpiece, experiencing the great charm of art.

In the process of appreciating and explaining this famous painting, Ye Tian did not forget to turn on the perspective in secret, and thoroughly see through this top-level artwork, maybe there will be surprising discoveries.

But unfortunately, there was no surprising discovery. He only saw the creation process of this masterpiece, and also saw how Botticelli swayed his genius.

A few minutes later, Ye Tian's explanation finally came to an end.

"... Botticelli's performance in this painting is extremely creative. Regardless of the limitations of the times, even now,

Its superb technique is also unmatched.

The work "Spring" is a victory in painting technology, with its exquisite layout and brushstrokes, superb painting techniques, extremely beautiful human body, and a composition that is quite difficult to grasp.

All of this reflects the artistic level of Botticelli's genius. Once this painting was published, it immediately caused a huge sensation and became one of the most outstanding works of the early Renaissance.

This is a work depicting spring, and it is also a war song praising the victory of Venus' love. It is a great honor for me to appreciate and explain this great painting here today"

After the voice fell, the scene immediately fell silent, but everyone was still staring at the famous painting in front of them, still fascinated.

After a while, people woke up one after another.

"clap clap"

Applause started to ring out. At first, there were only three or five sporadic people applauding, but soon everyone on the scene began to applaud, which was extremely enthusiastic.

Everyone gave Ye Tian their own applause, applauded for his professional and vivid explanation, and also gave their own applause for this Botticelli's pinnacle work.

At this moment, the perception of Ye Tian by these people on the scene has been greatly improved.

Although this guy Steven is ruthless and vengeful, no matter where he goes, he will cause a series of troubles and loot the local antique art market.

However, he is indeed the top expert in the field of identification and collection of antique works of art. His professional knowledge is extremely solid and his foundation is extremely solid. It seems that there is nothing he does not understand.

You can't even admire such a guy.

Next, Ye Tian and the others admired this top-level artwork for a while, and then reluctantly walked away to admire other top-level artworks displayed in this exhibition hall.

Ten minutes later, they came to another treasure of the Uffizi Gallery and began to admire this famous painting.

This is another peak work of the mature artist Botticelli, "The Birth of Venus", which is also displayed in this exhibition hall.

Like the previous "Spring", this "Birth of Venus" is also an egg tempera painting with a relatively small scale, 175 cm high and 287 cm wide.

Similarly, this famous painting was also ordered by the Medici family from Botticelli. It was created in 1487, a few years later than "Spring".

The content shown in this painting is a beautiful legend in Sicily:

On the sparkling Aegean Sea, countless beautiful petals fall from the sky, and the nude Venus stands weakly on a big shell.

She bent her right leg slightly, her body leaned slightly to the right, her long golden hair was gently blown away by the sea breeze, her skin was smooth and clear, and her beautiful face showed a kind of faint confusion.

Those innocent eyes were shrouded in a kind of melancholy and sorrow, showing the helplessness and confusion she had just come into this world.

Perhaps intentionally, the neck and hands of Venus under Botticelli's brushes appear longer, but this adds to her elegance and charm.

On the upper left of the picture, the winged wind god Sephorus is puffing out his lips to slowly blow Venus standing on the shell to the shore.

On the shore, the goddess of spring who came to meet Venus, dressed in gorgeous costumes, was about to throw a red cloak studded with flowers over her naked body.

The entire painting is bright and harmonious in tone, and does not use light and shade to express the shape of the human body, but uses contour lines to make the figures appear in relief. The picture is beautiful and has a strong decorative effect.

In this famous painting, Botticelli, through his brush, embodies a neo-Platonist philosophical trend that was popular in Florence at the time:

"Beauty cannot be gradually perfected or produced from non-beauty. Beauty can only be self-fulfilling. It is incomparable. Beauty is eternal without birth and death"

After standing in front of the painting and appreciating it quietly for a while, Ye Tian began to explain, so that Betty and the others could better appreciate this famous and top-notch artwork.

"To appreciate this famous painting, one must know something about the birth of Venus, who, in ancient Greek mythology, was born in the Aegean Sea and was born a maiden.

She is perfect from birth, she does not have to experience ignorant childhood, nor does she have to face the twilight years when death is approaching, she is always young and beautiful, she is the symbol of eternal beauty that human beings pursue,

The content depicted in Botticelli's painting is the process of the birth of Venus, the god of love and beauty. The huge shell she stepped on under her feet symbolizes the source of the birth of Venus.

The painting is based on the famous poet Poligiano's work "Giosterna". It was from this long poem that Botticelli was inspired to create this painting,..."

During the explanation, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective again, looked at this famous painting, and explored whether there were any secrets hidden under the picture.

As far as the eye can see, every detail of this painting is clearly presented in his eyes from the outside to the inside, without any omission.

Even the drawing boards behind, the wall, and even the exhibition hall on the other side of the wall, as well as the paintings displayed in that exhibition hall and the people who are visiting, were instantly seen clearly by him.

It's a pity that he only saw the creation process of this top artwork and Botticelli's amazing talent, but he didn't discover any hidden secrets.

The only discovery, Botticelli's signature in Latin, hidden in the wings of Aeolus, makes no sense.

Because everyone in the world knows that this "Birth of Venus" is the pinnacle of Botticelli's mature period and is one of his two most famous paintings.

Finding nothing, Ye Tian could only withdraw his gaze, end the perspective, and continue his professional and precise explanation.

"Venus under Botticelli's brush is obviously influenced by the image of Venus in ancient Greek sculpture, from posture to gesture, there are traces of imitating Capitoline Venus.

The Venus in this shape lacks the fitness and elegance of classical statues. It is precisely this shape and the mood of the characters that actually become Botticelli's unique artistic style,..."
