Treasure Hunt all over the World

At around 11:30, after appreciating the many top-level antique artworks displayed in the rest of the exhibition halls, Ye Tian and his group came to the door of the last exhibition hall of the Vatican Museum, ready to enter it for a visit.

The last pavilion is the famous Sistine Chapel, a great palace of painting art.

The Sistine Chapel was founded in 1445 by Pope Sixtus IV at the time. The name of the church "Sistine" comes from the name of the Pope at that time, "Sistus".

The church is over 40 meters long, 13 meters wide, and 18 meters high. The architectural form is based on the Solomon Temple described in Chapter 6 of Kings, in proportion (60:20:30) built.

In the Western world, in the eyes of all Christian believers, the Sistine Chapel is extremely important, and it can be called a holy place!

Because this is not only the pope's private scripture hall, but also the place where the pope election ceremony was held.

In other words, since this church was built and determined to be the venue for the pope election ceremony, all successive popes were elected from here, including the current pope.

From the outside, the Sistine Chapel is extremely simple and simple, and it can even be called crude. It is far from being compared with the magnificent and solemn St. Peter's Basilica, which is close at hand. The two are far away.

However, the interior of the Sistine Chapel is extremely ornate and dazzling. The walls and ceiling of the church are covered with exquisite frescoes, almost every one of which is priceless.

The two most famous murals are "Genesis" and "Last Judgment" by Michelangelo, one of the three masters of Renaissance art and top art master.

These two famous religious murals are the two monuments of Michelangelo's painting art and the two most representative masterpieces of his life.

It is precisely because Michelangelo created "Genesis" and "Last Judgment" here that the Sistine Chapel became famous all over the world and became well-known!

In addition to the two masterpieces of Michelangelo, there are also murals painted by top Renaissance art masters such as Botticelli, Ghirlantio, and Pere, each of which is extremely exquisite.

In addition, there is a world-famous top artwork, which is also related to the Sistine Chapel, and it is named after "Sistine".

That is "Sistine Madonna", one of the three greatest Renaissance art masters and one of the two greatest works of Raphael, a top art master, and an oil painting on canvas that is considered to be comparable to "Mona Lisa" .

"Sistine Madonna" is an oil painting on canvas created by Raphael around 1513. It is the most outstanding representative of his "Madonna" and one of the greatest works of art in the Renaissance!

Before 1573, the "Sistine Madonna" was kept and displayed in the Sistine Chapel, hence the name!

It is a pity that this masterpiece of Raphael was later lost from here, and after several twists and turns, it is now stored in the Dresden Museum in Germany, where it is the treasure of the museum.

For art lovers, the Sistine Chapel is a paradise of art. It is a must-see place when traveling to Rome, and it is absolutely not to be missed!

As a professional treasure hunter and a top expert in the identification of antique works of art, Ye Tian is naturally the same. He will never miss the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's two masterpieces.

Walking to the entrance of the Sistine Chapel, everyone can see the two long queues at the door, all tourists from all over the world waiting to enter the church! ,

Ye Tian raised his eyes and looked over there, then whispered to the people around him:

"Everyone must remember that after entering the Sistine Chapel, do not take out your mobile phone or camera to take pictures,

That is not allowed and will cause damage to those priceless treasures inside"

"Understood, Steven, we know what to do, just like when we were in Milan enjoying Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, The Last Supper"

Anderson continued, and the others nodded one after another.

At the same time, many tourists waiting in line at the entrance of the Sistine Chapel also found Ye Tian and the others, and there was a commotion immediately at the scene.

"Wow! That guy Steven also came to visit the Sistine Chapel, if only he could go in with them in the same batch, so that he can hear his explanation!

Although I don't like this ruthless and extremely greedy guy, I have to admit that he is indeed the top expert in antique art appraisal, and he is good at almost everything!

Just now in the painting gallery, I heard his explanation up close. It was very professional, vivid and unforgettable. I don’t know if there will be such an opportunity in the future.”

"Dude, don't even think about it, and you don't even look at where you are in the queue. The Sistine Chapel has a strict limit on the number of visitors. When it's your turn to enter, it will take an hour.

Looking at the Vatican priests who accompanied Steven and the others, it is obvious that Steven enjoys special treatment here, and there is no need to queue up to visit, and he can enter the church at any time."

While speaking, Leonardo had already led Ye Tian and the others into the VIP passage, and they were about to enter the Sistine Chapel.

Seeing this scene, the tourists who lined up at the entrance of the church and waited to enter and visit couldn't bear it anymore, and they all started clamoring.

"Why can Steven and the others directly enter the church to visit without queuing? It's not fair!"

"That's right, why do Steven and the others enjoy privileges? They should be like everyone else, queuing up to enter the tour, that's only fair, not to mention that Steven is an atheist"

Hearing these noises, Ye Tian stopped immediately, turned around and looked at the aggrieved tourists.

He just had a smile on his face, and before he had time to respond, a senior Vatican priest suddenly said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't feel aggrieved. Let me explain. Mr. Steven is invited to the Vatican and is a distinguished guest of our museum and enjoys special treatment.

The reason why Mr. Steven enjoys special privileges and can enter the church without queuing is very simple, because he presented two priceless treasures to our museum.

That is Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ". As long as you have visited our painting gallery, you must have seen those two top-level works of art.

This is why Mr. Steven enjoys special privileges. Of course, you can too, as long as you donate these two top-level works of art to our museum, you can enjoy this privilege.

Even if the artwork you donate is not so outstanding, not a representative work of the three masters of Renaissance art, it doesn't matter if it is slightly worse, you can still enjoy this privilege.

At that time, as long as you want to visit the Vatican Museum, you can enter and visit it at any time during the opening hours without queuing up, and this privilege is valid for life! "

Hearing these words, many tourists waiting in line to enter the church could not help but roll their eyes angrily. They were also blocked and had nothing to say, feeling somewhat depressed!

Donate two top-level works of art, and they are representative works of the three masters of Renaissance art. Are you kidding me? Except for that crazy guy in Steven, who has such a big money? Who can give up?

Thinking of this, everyone at the scene had nothing to say about the special courtesy that Ye Tian and the others enjoyed. This is what they deserve, and it is beyond reproach!

Ye Tian looked appreciatively at the priest who calmed down the argument, then shrugged triumphantly, and spread his hands to all the tourists on the scene, his expressions and movements were not to mention how much he deserved a beating.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and took Betty into the Sistine Chapel, disappearing from the sight of many tourists outside the church door.

Immediately behind him, there was a sound of angry cursing.

"Fack! This bastard Steven is really hateful. I really want to smash his hateful smiling face and vent my anger!"

"Who doesn't want to! But who can?"
