At this time, they were completely immersed in the ocean of art. Everyone was intoxicated and their eyes were full of stars. They had already forgotten other things and enjoyed this wonderful time.
Same as before on the first floor of the Denong Hall, not long after Ye Tian and his friends started visiting the large gallery, many unfamiliar visitors gathered around them, all coming for Ye Tian's professional and vivid explanation.
There were many primary, middle school and college students among them, all of whom listened to his explanation with equal interest and were equally fascinated!

Of course, they also attract more and more visitors to come around to listen to the best and most professional explanations and appreciate the top paintings displayed in the large galleries.
Compared to their own aimless tours, Ye Tian’s professional explanations benefited everyone around them a lot, and their understanding of the paintings in the large gallery became deeper and more thorough!
While appreciating the paintings and explaining them, Ye Tian was also unscrupulously and secretly absorbing the aura contained in those top-notch works of art, like a whale absorbing water!
This is a veritable ocean of spiritual energy, of course you can’t miss it, otherwise you will regret it to death!
It didn’t take long for him to absorb it completely. The spiritual energy in his eyes was so full that it almost overflowed. Until he could no longer absorb it, he reluctantly stopped the secret robbery!
After absorbing the spiritual energy, he immediately tested the results on the spot. The Grand Gallery of the Louvre was undoubtedly a very suitable place for testing!
Unsurprisingly, the distance at which he saw the dazzling light emitted by the antique artwork had once again increased significantly, and was now infinitely close to one hundred meters.
From his position, he could clearly see the top-notch paintings hanging on the walls on both sides of the large gallery nearly a hundred meters away. The authenticity and value of those paintings could be identified at a glance.
Immediately afterwards, he began to test his perspective ability.
Everywhere he looked, he could see everything at a glance: the floors under his feet, the tourists visiting the exhibition hall on the first floor and the floors, the lobby and floors on the underground floor, and the antique art warehouse deeper underground. !

However, he is currently visiting the Grand Gallery and is the center of attention. Obviously, he cannot stare at the floor for a long time and explore the secrets of the Louvre!
It doesn’t matter, the Louvre will always stand here and will not grow wings to fly. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!
Ye Tian doesn't know what changes the massive amount of spiritual energy absorbed this time will bring to his body, and how powerful it will be.
But based on past experience, Ye Tian secretly estimated that he had probably exceeded the limit of human strength, or was infinitely close to the limit of strength, and the same was true for his reaction and agility!
That powerful and incomparable feeling that bursts out from within the body, from the internal organs, and from every cell, cannot be deceived at all! Desire makes people crazy.
You will know exactly how powerful you are when you go back to the hotel and check it out, so there is no need to worry!
After absorbing the spiritual energy and doing a quick inspection, Ye Tian concentrated on appreciating these top-notch works of art in the large gallery.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others came to another painting and stopped to admire it.
This is the famous "The Oath of the Brothers Horatii", an outstanding painting with extremely great historical significance in the history of Western art, especially in the history of French art.
The painter who created this famous oil painting is the famous French painter and founder of the neoclassical school of painting, Jacques-Louis David. The famous "The Death of Marat" was also painted by him.
In this painting "The Oath of the Brothers of Horatith", the painter David used his brush and superb painting skills to depict a tragic ancient Roman epic, which is very moving!
The content depicted in the painting comes from a story during the ancient Roman Republic.
At that time, there was a war between Rome and the neighboring Etruscan Gulicians, but the people on both sides had an intermarriage relationship.
In order to avoid a large-scale **** fight, the leaders of both sides reached an agreement, each selecting three warriors to fight, and the victory or defeat would be used to determine who had the highest authority in Rome and Albert.
In this war, the Horas brothers were selected to fight with the enemy. Old Horas distributed the weapons to the three brothers. The three brothers stretched out their right hands and swore to the sword, 'either return victorious or die in battle. battlefield! ’
This famous fight in Western history ended with the victory of the three Horatii brothers in Rome, and the dominance of the city of Rome was not compromised!
Throughout the ages, many artists have used this legendary story as a blueprint and created many related works of art, including paintings, poems, and novels!
One of the most outstanding and famous works of art is the "Oath of the Brothers Horatio" by the famous painter David. This is also David's famous work!
This painting has a rigorous composition and superb technique. At a glance, it gives people an impassioned and passionate feeling. It is extremely tense and has a strong visual impact!
In the center of the picture, the three Horatian brothers stood side by side, each extending his right hand forward, ready to accept the weapon awarded by his father, and solemnly swore allegiance to Rome to the sword!
The characters on the screen have resolute expressions and passionate movements. They occupy most of the space in the screen. In order to better enhance the atmosphere, even the classical buildings in the background highlight this solemn momentum.
In the lower right corner of the screen, there are the mother, wife, children and sisters of the three Horace brothers!
My mother was worried that this expedition would be a disaster, and she was so sad that her heart was piercing her heart and her face was full of sorrow! The other woman on the inside was holding her child and crying!
On the far right side of the screen is a woman wearing a long white dress. She is the sister of the three Horatii brothers. Her mood is even more complicated about this duel!
Her fiancé is from Gulytsia, and he is the other party in the fight, one of the three Gulyas brothers representing the city of Albert.
There is no doubt that the fight between the two sides will have a huge impact on her fate. No matter who is killed or injured, it will be the misfortune of her relatives.
Here, the painter David uses a multi-faceted approach to reveal the character's psychological state, making this tragic dramatic scene highly readable.
The crying of the woman in the picture forms a strong contrast with the passionate spirit of the three warriors in front, which strengthens the ideological nature of the theme of the painting.
The tragic atmosphere of the whole painting is very obvious. For the survival of the motherland and nation, for honor and living space, only family and personal interests can be sacrificed.
David used the paintbrush in his hand to inspire people to fight for republic and freedom, and he did the same himself!
