In the Mona Lisa Hall, Ye Tian and the others were standing in front of a world-famous painting, admiring it with unblinking eyes and unusual concentration. There was a bit of shock in everyone’s eyes.
However, the painting in front of them is not the “Mona Lisa”, but “The Wedding at Cana”, a famous Italian painter, one of the three masters of the Venetian School, and one of Veronese’s greatest works.
This world-famous painting is displayed directly opposite the “Mona Lisa” and is also where the entrance to the exhibition hall is. It is hung on the wall between the left and right doors.
Although Ye Tian and the others, like most of the visitors in the exhibition hall, came here for the “Mona Lisa”, it was obviously not a wise move to go and appreciate the “Mona Lisa” at this time.
At this time, in front of the “Mona Lisa”, there were already dozens of visitors on three levels inside and three outside.
Every one of these visitors was extremely excited and eager to look at the most famous painting in the world with an almost admiring attitude, tiptoes!
Given the size of the “Mona Lisa”, the several layers of bulletproof glass covered on the outside, and the several meters wide distance between the painting and the visitors, it is not known that visitors standing behind the crowd can what did you see?
At most they can only see the outline clearly, and probably not even the eyebrows. As for Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile, they can only read it in the guide book, which is more clear.
While visiting, many visitors held up their cameras or mobile phones and took pictures of the “Mona Lisa” to prove that they had been to this exhibition hall and admired the “Mona Lisa” up close.
This situation in front of the “Mona Lisa” is completely normal. Many tourists come to the Louvre to visit, even because of the huge fame of the “Mona Lisa”.
As soon as they enter the Louvre, they will follow the guidebook and go straight to this exhibition hall to appreciate this famous painting.
After checking in at the Mona Lisa, some tourists will soon leave the Louvre and visit other places, such as the Champs Elysées not far away!
Some tourists continued to visit the Louvre and admire other exquisite works of art.
In order to facilitate tourists to visit the “Mona Lisa”, the Louvre Museum not only clearly marked the route to the Mona Lisa Hall in the guide book, but also set up many reminders throughout the museum.
In this way, tourists who come for the “Mona Lisa” can easily find the Mona Lisa Hall and complete the task of checking in.
Unlike the crowded situation in front of the “Mona Lisa”, there were not many visitors in front of Veronese’s “The Wedding of Cana” and it was very quiet.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian and the others immediately stopped and began to appreciate this world-famous painting.
In fact, this world-famous painting is also one of Ye Tianlai’s must-see top works of art at the Louvre!
“Wow! The size of this painting is really huge. It is definitely one of the largest paintings I have ever seen! It’s amazing!”
The first time she saw this painting, Betty sighed with emotion in a low voice. She was obviously shocked by the world-famous painting in front of her.
Ye Tian turned to look at her, then smiled and whispered:
“The size of this painting is indeed very large. “The Wedding at Cana” is about ten meters wide and seven meters high. The entire painting covers an area of about more than seventy square meters, which is extremely exaggerated!
This is the largest and extremely precious painting in the Louvre. Like the equally astonishing “Coronation of Napoleon I”, it is absolutely not allowed to leave the Louvre!
In this regard, the “Mona Lisa” opposite is not as good as this painting. “Mona Lisa” has left the Louvre many times and been sent to exhibitions around the world, but this painting has there has never been! “
“More than seventy square meters, isn’t it the size of an apartment? It’s really amazing! Painting such an amazing painting must have taken a lot of time and a lot of energy.
Stephen, please tell everyone about this giant painting. We would like to hear the story about this giant painting, so that we can better appreciate this painting and understand what is so beautiful about it! “
Anderson said with emotion, his eyes full of shock.
“Okay, I will explain this painting to you now”
Ye Tian nodded slightly in response, and then began to explain in a low voice the giant painting in front of him.
“The Wedding at Cana” is a painting created by Veronese in 1563. It reflects the scene of **** attending a wedding in the city of Cana. The story comes from the Bible .
Here, Veronese made some small changes. He made the poor and humble Galilee town of Cana, where the story takes place, look like a luxurious wedding in Venice in the sixteenth century.
Of course, this is based on the request of the San Giorgio Margioli Monastery in Italy. The other party is the sponsor of this painting. In order to cater to the other party, Veronese can only do it, which is understandable.
It was at this wedding that **** showed his divine power to the world for the first time. When the wine at the wedding banquet was drunk, **** immediately turned all the drinking water into fine wine, allowing everyone to continue drinking.
In order to paint this giant painting, Veronese spent a total of fifteen months and painted more than 130 characters, many of whom were European nobles and artists at the time.
In this painting, we can see the Queen of England, Francis I, the Sultan of Turkey, Veronese’s teacher Titian, and Tintoretto, who was also the three masters of the Venetian School.
Of course, Veronese himself is indispensable here. He painted himself in the most conspicuous position, that is, the musician sitting at the front, in the center of the painting, wearing a white robe and playing.
This kind of behavior by Veronese set the precedent for the trend. In the “Liberty Leading the People” we have seen before, Delacroix imitated him and painted himself into the painting! “
“Hahaha”
There was a burst of laughter, and Betty and the others chuckled.
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian immediately picked up what he had just said and continued to explain this world-famous painting that was born in the late Renaissance.
At the same time, he also secretly turned on perspective and thoroughly explored all the details inside and outside the painting, not missing any corner.
Unfortunately, apart from seeing the poor bride hiding in an inconspicuous corner and sulking, he did not discover any hidden secrets in this painting, nor did he find any surprising gains.
About three or four minutes later, Ye Tianfang finished explaining the painting.
Next, they stayed in front of the painting for a while, admiring it carefully, and then moved away to admire another famous Italian painting hanging on the side wall.
Time passed by little by little, and twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
After appreciating the many paintings displayed in this exhibition hall, Ye Tian and the others finally came to the “Mona Lisa” and prepared to appreciate the most famous and immortal painting in the world!
At this time, there were fewer visitors gathered in front of the Mona Lisa than before, but there were still more than twenty!
If you want to enjoy the Mona Lisa up close, you must squeeze through the crowd and squeeze to the front!
Of course Ye Tian would not do such a hateful thing by himself.
While standing still, he glanced at Matisse and asked them to step forward to clear the way so that he and Betty could get as close as possible to the “Mona Lisa” and see it more clearly.
After receiving the signal, Mattis immediately stepped forward with two security personnel, using his strong body to squeeze out a passage.
Ye Tian and Betty followed him, walking along the passage that Matisse and others squeezed out, and walked straight towards the “Mona Lisa” in front!
