After everyone's emotions calmed down a little, Ye Tian said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, the bronze statue of the sun **** Apollo that you are seeing now should be the original work by the famous ancient Greek sculptor Leokares, which is also the original work of "Apollo of Belvedere" ”
Although this result had been expected, when Ye Tian said these words himself, it still caused a commotion at the scene and elicited a burst of excited exclamations.
While exclaiming, everyone’s eyes looking at this bronze statue of Apollo, the sun god, became even hotter, almost on the verge of bursting into flames!
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“This nearly perfect statue of Apollo, which is extremely famous in the history of Western art and civilization, was created from 350 BC to 320 BC. That period was the late Greek classical era.
Leokares was one of the most famous sculptors in late classical Greece. Together with Scopas and others, who were also famous sculptors, he co-created what is known as one of the 'Seven Wonders of the Ancient World' Mausoleum of Mosolos.
It is a pity that the miraculous Mausoleum of Mosolos has long been turned into a pile of ruins and submerged in the long river of history. The other sculptures of Leocares have also disappeared and no one knows where they are buried. !
His most famous sculpture spread to the world is the "Apollo of Belvedere" collected in the Vatican Museum, and "Apollo of Belvedere" is actually a copy from the ancient Roman period"
After hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded and had no different opinions.
Everyone knows something about the origin of "Apollo of Belvedere", and naturally knows that Ye Tian is right.
""Apollo of Belvedere" is copied from this bronze statue of Apollo. As you can see, except for the difference in size and material, the two statues are almost identical, and this one is more complete.
The statue of Apollo in the Vatican Museum has long lost the front half of the palm of its right hand, and the short bow held in the left hand has also been shattered, leaving only the part held in the palm of the left hand. In addition, there are many scars on the statue!
In comparison, this bronze statue is much more complete. It can be said to be complete, with only some green patina. Naturally, this statue of Apollo, the sun god, looks more perfect and attractive!
As for the size difference between the two statues, it is not difficult to explain. You must know that the Apollo statue of Leokares is made of bronze. In ancient Greece more than two thousand years ago, bronze sculptures were naturally impossible. Too big.
You can guess that some time one or two thousand years ago, Leocares's bronze statue of Apollo was brought to Rome, so there was the "Apollo of Belvedere" in the Vatican Museum. .
Later, this priceless bronze statue of Apollo was lost and completely disappeared from people’s sight. It was not until more than two thousand years later that it somehow fell into the hands of Balbo, and then was discovered by us! ”
Ye Tian continued to introduce the bronze statue of Apollo, not forgetting to emphasize that this priceless treasure now belongs to him.
After the words fell, the scene became quiet again, leaving only the sound of breathing.
After a while, everyone finally woke up.
Immediately afterwards, Bishop Kent said excitedly:
"Stephen, if it is true, as you say, that this is the original work of "Apollo of Belvedere" and is the work of the famous ancient Greek sculptor Leorekas, then there is no doubt that this will It is a great discovery that shocked the world."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately nodded decisively and said:
"I am very confident about this identification conclusion. There is no doubt that this is "Apollo the Sun God" created by the famous ancient Greek sculptor Leorekas, and it is the original work of "Apollo of Belvedere"!
I strongly believe in my own vision, and I can never be wrong. The perfection of this statue of the sun **** Apollo, the sculpture style of the classical era, and the beauty of ancient Greek idealism are the best evidence!
This is just my personal opinion and may not be accurate. It doesn’t matter. I welcome all experts and scholars who have studied ancient Greek sculptures to come and identify this bronze sculpture and see what identification conclusions they will give! ”
With Ye Tian’s words, everyone’s last doubts about this bronze sculpture of Apollo, the sun god, have disappeared!
There is no doubt that this is the original work of the famous ancient Greek sculptor Leokares. It is the most perfect statue of Apollo, the sun god, in the world, and it is also a priceless treasure!
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned extremely hot when they looked at this bronze statue.
Next, everyone gathered around the bronze statue and admired it fascinatedly.
The new owner of the statue, Ye Tian, withdrew from the crowd and gave David a wink.
Then the two of them retreated to the door of the utility room, slightly increasing the distance between them and the others.
As he walked to the door, Ye Tian immediately lowered his voice and asked:
"David, how are the preparations outside? Although this treasure may not look big, it is enough to drive people crazy. Without even thinking about it, the Italians will definitely try their best to keep these priceless antiques. Artwork! ”
"Don't worry, Steven, the legal team you requested has arrived on this street and is waiting at the door of this historic building, ready to go to work at any time to help you deal with the Italian government.
In addition, the U.S. Ambassador to Italy is also on his way here and will arrive at this street soon. The ambassador also brought two Marine Corps teams to assist Mattis and the others in protecting this treasure.
I have said hello to His Majesty the Pope and reached a preliminary agreement with the Vatican Museum. By the end of today, these top-notch antiques and artworks you have discovered can be transported to the Vatican Museum for temporary storage! ”
David smiled and nodded, his words and eyes full of confidence.
What he said was exactly what Ye Tian had prepared in advance.
As early as last night, he had greeted the Pope and the U.S. Ambassador to Italy, saying that they might need to come forward today to contain the Italian government, which was so irritated that it became red-eyed!
Next, Ye Tian gave David a few more words and told Matisse that they should strengthen security. Then he ended the conversation and returned to the center of the utility room!
At this time, Bishop Kent and Giovanni were still admiring the statue of "Apollo the Sun God" and the head of "Aristotle" fascinatedly, their eyes full of obsession!
Seeing their appearance, Ye Tian did not disturb them, but joined them to appreciate and discuss these two priceless ancient Greek sculptures with everyone.
After about seven or eight minutes, under his reminder and urging, everyone just finished admiring and stood up with unfinished content.
Then, Ye Tian wrapped the two priceless treasures in moisture-proof tarpaulin, put them back into the oak box, and locked the box.
When he finished these actions and stood up, Giovanni immediately asked impatiently:
"Steven, I still have to ask, what do you plan to do with these top-notch antiques? You know, every piece of antique art here is priceless, and once it is released, it will cause a huge sensation. !
Especially the head of "Aristotle" by the ancient Greek sculptor Leusippus and the "Sun God Apollo" by the ancient Greek sculptor Leorekas. Their emergence will shock the entire world. Western world! ”
Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then said with a smile:
"Giovanni, I still said what I just said. It's too early to talk about these things now, but what I can tell you is that all the antique artworks we found in Italy this time will be publicly displayed here for a period of time. Time!
Our company has reached a preliminary agreement with the Vatican Museum to borrow the Vatican Museum’s exhibition hall to hold a special exhibition open to the world. The antique artworks on display were all discovered by us in Italy this time.
The reason for this arrangement is to thank this land with a long history and the people living on this land, and also to thank this land for the treasures it has given us. As for other things, we will talk about it later! ”
"Ah——!"
Giovanni exclaimed and froze on the spot.
Everyone else at the scene was the same. They all froze on the spot and stared at Ye Tian in stunned silence.
You **** is so thoughtful, you have already arranged your future exhibition plans, as if you already knew there was a huge treasure hidden here!
