Treasure Hunt all over the World

After appreciating "The Prodigal Son's Return", Ye Tian and the others walked around the display wall at the entrance, entered the exhibition hall, and began to appreciate the remaining 23 paintings displayed in the exhibition hall, each of which was created by the art master Rembrandt.

Next, they successively appreciated the outstanding works of famous Western painters such as Rubens, Tiepolo, Gauguin, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Goya, Renoir, and Picasso.

Following their footsteps, a nearly complete history of Western painting from the Renaissance to the beginning of the 20th century is presented to everyone, very concretely.

In other places, if the names of top art masters such as Raphael, Titian, and Rembrandt appear in any painting exhibition or auction, they will cause a huge sensation.

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 brightest jewel in the crown to the Hermitage Museum. The original collection of Catherine the Great started with these Western European paintings.

Of course, the history of Western painting that you appreciate is not complete, because the most important artist and the works of this artist have not yet appeared!

This art master is Da Vinci, one of the three masters of Renaissance art, and his works are "The Madonna of Benoa" and "Linda's Virgin Mary", these two works of the Hermitage The treasure of the town hall.

When the time came to around five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian and his group walked into the most important hall of the 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 followed Ye Tian and the others was to hear Ye Tian's comments and explanations on many Western European paintings, so that it would be worth the fare, right?

The first time he entered this famous exhibition hall, Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation in the exhibition hall to know what was going on.

Compared with the other exhibition halls I visited before, although the size of Da Vinci Hall is small, it is more luxurious and magnificent.

The walls around this exhibition hall are inlaid with white and blue artificial marble, from the floor to the ceiling.

There is a snow-white marble fireplace against the wall in the middle of the exhibition hall, which is inlaid with lapis lazuli and made of mosaic technology. The colonnade on both sides of the mirror above the fireplace is inlaid with jasper.

Above the door of this exhibition hall,

There is a picture frame with a bas-relief of the Russian Field Marshal inside, and in the center of the ceiling is a zenith painting of the gods of Mount Olympus in ancient Greece.

Of course, this is not the huge mural "Mount Olympus" by Titian on the vault above the Jordan Staircase, but the work of another painter.

And at the top of the gate, hangs a work by the famous Venetian painter Padua, which is a huge painting.

In addition, there are other top-level artworks, exquisite tapestries, and gold-plated crystal chandeliers on display in this exhibition hall, which together make this exhibition hall magnificent.

Like the Raphael Hall I visited at the beginning, this exhibition hall also has several huge floor-to-ceiling windows. At a certain time, sunlight can pass through these floor-to-ceiling windows and fill 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 an excellent view.

Another point is that there are a lot of tourists in the Leonardo 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.

The arrival of Ye Tian and the others, as well as the large number of visitors who followed, immediately made the exhibition hall even more crowded, and it was full of moving heads as far as the eye could see.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian knew the environment in this exhibition hall like the palm of his hand, and also knew whether there was any danger here.

After confirming that the exhibition hall was safe, he stepped out and walked straight to the center of the exhibition hall. His goal was Da Vinci's outstanding painting, "The Madonna of Benoia".

Three or two steps ago, the group of them had arrived in front of the display cabinet where "Our Lady of Benoa" was located.

Seeing them coming, the tourists who had gathered in front of the display case and were admiring Da Vinci's painting immediately gave way to a passage directly in front of the display case.

Naturally, Ye Tian and the others would not refuse such a good deed, and the group of them went directly through this passage to the guardrail in front of "Our Lady of Benoa".

Of course, there is a price to be paid to enjoy this special treatment, and Ye Tian is no exception.

The price he has to pay is to explain this outstanding painting of Da Vinci to everyone on the scene so that people can better appreciate this painting.

Standing still 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 with a small scale, no more than 32 centimeters wide and about 50 centimeters high. It is inlaid in a gold-plated and engraved classical style frame, which looks solemn and elegant.

Because of its age, 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 a statue of the Virgin, the protagonist of this painting is naturally the Virgin Mary.

The painting shows the Virgin Mary when she was young, holding the baby Jesus with a red fruit in her arms, with a happy smile on her face, looking down at her child.

She is supporting the holy baby with one hand, and holding a flower in the other, teasing the child with flowers.

The childish Jesus sat on her lap, looked at the flowers in the mother's hand, and stretched out his right hand, trying to reach the flowers.

Therefore, the action of the mother and the child playing with flowers constitutes the theme of the whole painting, and the vertical central axis of the picture, just passing through the place where the three hands are gently intertwined, becomes the center point of the whole painting.

It can be seen from the picture that the Madonna in this oil painting is very vivid, exuding the maternity brilliance of a secular mother, rather than the lofty and rigid medieval Madonna.

In particular, the bright smile on the face of the Virgin Mary highly summarizes the happiness of young women facing their children in reality, and the endless love overflowing their eyes.

The background of the picture is relatively dark, and there is a window in the upper right corner with two arched window lattices. Through the open window, you can see the clear blue sky outside.

In order to show the holiness, there is a bright light circle above the heads of the Virgin and the Holy Child, which is very conspicuous.

Ye Tian and the others stood in front of the guardrail, appreciating this top-level artwork intently, and were completely attracted by this outstanding painting in a blink of an eye, and secretly marveled at Da Vinci'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 look of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes, but no one noticed it because it was well concealed.

To his surprise, there are several mysterious characters hidden on the "Virgin of Benoa". These mysterious characters are hidden very cleverly and secretly, making it difficult for people to detect them.

But in Ye Tian's eyes, they are extremely clear, like bright lights in the dark!

And similar to mysterious characters, "Mona Lisa" and "Virgin of the Rocks" in the Louvre, another "Virgin of the Rocks" in the British Museum, and "The Last Supper" in Milan, etc., he I've seen them all!
