After appreciating "The Prodigal Son", Ye Tian and the others walked around the display wall at the door, entered the exhibition hall, and began to appreciate the remaining 23 paintings displayed in the exhibition hall, each of which was painted by the master of art Rembrandt. .
Next, they successively appreciated the outstanding works of famous Western painters such as Rubens, Tiepolo, Gauguin, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Goya, Renoir, and Picasso.
Following their footsteps, a nearly complete history of Western painting from the Renaissance to the early 20th century is presented to everyone, very concretely.
Elsewhere, the names of top art masters such as Raphael, Titian and Rembrandt will cause a huge sensation if they appear in any art exhibition or at any auction.
But in the Western European Art Gallery of the Hermitage Museum, these shocking names are just one of the many top art masters.
The Western European Art Museum is the brightest pearl in the crown of the Hermitage Museum. Catherine the Great’s initial collection began with these Western European paintings.
Of course, the history of Western painting that everyone enjoys is not complete, because the most important art master and the works of this art master have not yet appeared!
This art master is Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters of Renaissance art. His works are "Virgin of Benoa" and "Virgin of Linda". These two Hermès Tash's treasure.
When the time came to around five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian and his party walked into the most important hall of the old Hermitage, the famous Leonardo da Vinci Hall.
Behind them, there were many enthusiastic people, including Russians and tourists from all over the world.
The reason why these guys followed Ye Tian and the others was because they wanted to hear Ye Tian's comments and explanations on many Western European paintings, so that they would be worth the money paid.
The first time he walked into this famous exhibition hall, Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation in the exhibition hall to be aware of it.
Compared with other exhibition halls that I have visited before, although the Leonardo da Vinci Hall is not large in area, it is more luxurious and magnificent.
The walls around this exhibition hall are inlaid with white and cyan 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. It is inlaid with lapis lazuli and made of mosaic technology. The colonnades on both sides of the mirror above the fireplace are inlaid with jasper.
Above the door of this exhibition hall hangs a frame with a bas-relief of a Russian field marshal, and in the center of the ceiling is a ceiling painting of the gods of Mount Olympus in ancient Greece.
Of course, this is not the huge mural "Olympus" by Titian located in the vault above the Jordan Stairs, but the work of another painter.
At the top of the gate hangs a huge painting by the famous Venetian painter Padua.
In addition, this exhibition hall also displays other top-notch artworks, exquisite tapestries, gilt crystal chandeliers, etc., which together make this exhibition hall magnificent.
Like the Raphael Hall that I first visited, this exhibition hall also has several huge floor-to-ceiling windows. At certain times, 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, and the view is excellent.
Another point is that there are many tourists in the Leonardo da Vinci Hall. They are like a tide, constantly flowing in and out. It is one of the most popular and lively places in the museum.
The arrival of Ye Tian and the others, as well as the large number of visitors who followed them, immediately made the exhibition hall more crowded, and every sight was full of people.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian already knew the environment in this exhibition hall very well and 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, aiming for Leonardo da Vinci's outstanding painting, "Madonna of Benoit".
Three or two steps ago, the group of them had arrived in front of the display case where "Our Lady of Benoa" was located.
Seeing them coming, the tourists who had gathered in front of the display cabinet to admire Leonardo da Vinci's painting immediately gave way to a direct passage to the display cabinet.
Ye Tian and the others would naturally not refuse such a good thing. They walked directly through this passage and came to the guardrail in front of "Our Lady of Benoa".
Of course, you have to pay a certain price to enjoy this kind of special treatment, and Ye Tian is no exception.
The price he had to pay was to explain this outstanding painting by Leonardo da Vinci to everyone present so that people could better appreciate the painting.
When they came to stand in front of the guardrail, Ye Tian and the others immediately looked at the "Our Lady of Benoa" displayed in a special bulletproof glass display case.
This is an oil painting, not large in size, no more than 32 centimeters wide and about 50 centimeters high. It is set in a gilded and carved classical style frame, which looks solemn and elegant.
Due to its age, the surface of this oil painting is slightly mottled, full of small cracks, and slightly faded, but it does not affect appreciation and is fairly well protected.
Since it is a statue of the Virgin Mary, the protagonist of this painting is naturally the Virgin Mary.
What the painting shows is the young Virgin Mary, holding the naked **** in her arms, looking down at her child with a happy smile.
She was holding the Holy Infant in one hand and holding a flower in the other, teasing the child with the flowers.
The childlike **** sat on her lap, looking at the flowers in his mother's hands, and stretched out his right hand, trying to reach the flowers.
Thus, the movements of the mother and son playing with flowers constitute the theme of the entire painting, and the vertical central axis of the painting passes exactly where the three hands gently intersect, becoming the center point of the entire painting.
It can be seen from the picture that the Madonna in this oil painting is very vivid, revealing the maternal brilliance of a secular mother, rather than the aloof and rigid medieval Madonna.
Especially the bright smile on the face of the Virgin, which highly summarizes the happiness of young women facing their children in reality, and the endless love that overflows from her eyes.
The background of the picture is relatively dark. There is a window in the upper right corner. The window has two arched window lattice. Through the open window, you can see the clear blue sky outside.
In order to show the sanctity, there is a bright halo of light above the heads of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Child, which is very conspicuous.
Ye Tian and the others stood in front of the guardrail, admiring this top-notch work of art intently. In an instant, they were completely attracted by this outstanding painting, and were secretly amazed by Leonardo da Vinci's art.
Compared to David and the others, Ye Tian saw more things and gained more.
The first time everyone came to the guardrail, a look of surprise flashed deep in his eyes, but it was just because he concealed it so well that no one noticed it.
What surprised him was the mysterious characters hidden on the painting "Our Lady of Benoa". These mysterious characters were very cleverly hidden and very subtle, making them difficult to detect.
But in Ye Tian's eyes, they were extremely clear, like lights in the darkness!
There are similar mysterious characters on the "Mona Lisa" and "Madonna of the Rocks" that were previously in the Louvre, another "Madonna of the Rocks" in the British Museum, and the "Last Supper" in Milan, etc. Wait, he has seen it all before!
