"This painting is "Leoni at Thermopylae". I believe everyone has seen "The Three Hundred Spartans" or heard of this extremely tragic and exciting story.

What the painting depicts is that in 480 BC, King Leonidas of Sparta led three hundred warriors to take advantage of the natural dangers at Thermopylae to resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of King Xerxes of Persia alone.

Isolated and helpless, three hundred Spartan warriors fought **** battles with the Persian army for three days, and eventually all died on the battlefield. The Persians paid a heavy price with more than 20,000 casualties..."

“The Coronation of the Virgin is one of the representative works of Angelico, a famous painter of the Florentine School during the Renaissance. Although he lived in the Renaissance, Angelico was a rebel of the times!

He only loved sacred traditional themes. In this painting, we can clearly see this style. His painting style is biased toward the Middle Ages, which is very different from the humanism advocated by the Renaissance..."

"The masterpiece in front of you is one of the masterpieces of Giotto, the founder of the Florentine School of Painting and a famous Renaissance painter. The famous "Receiving the Stigmata" was created in 1290.

In the history of Western art, Giotto is a pioneering figure with a very important historical position. He is known as the "Father of Western Painting" and is the first person to be recognized and respected as a "painter".

Giotto's art had a huge influence on the Renaissance movement. Masaccio in the early Renaissance and Michelangelo in his prime both admitted that they were deeply influenced by Giotto..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is presented to you now is another great work from the three masters of Renaissance art. This is "The Beautiful Gardener" by the famous painter Raphael.

This famous painting was created in 1507. It was a custom-made painting for the Vatican Church. It was originally tried to be given to Leonardo da Vinci, but Leonardo refused the commission, and then it was handed over to Raphael to complete.

Raphael is the one who painted the most Madonnas in the history of art, but he never copied the appearance of the model, nor did he imagine it out of thin air. Instead, he constructed a perfect image based on his own aesthetics.

As you can see, this painting gives people a very soft and beautiful feeling, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. In terms of artistic quality, this painting is comparable to the "Virgin of the Rocks" that I have seen before..."

Ye Tian took Betty and the others to continue touring the large gallery, stopping to admire the famous paintings and explaining relevant knowledge to Betty and the others. They were still very professional, lively and exciting!

At this time, he seemed to be in the ocean of art, swimming to his heart's content, free and comfortable in body and mind, how could he be so happy!

Betty and Anderson, who were following them, were concentrating on admiring the many world-famous paintings hanging on the walls of the large gallery while listening to Ye Tian's vivid explanation. Everyone was fascinated!

The other visitors around were the same, enjoying the baptism of art. They were all intoxicated and lingered, and no one was willing to leave.

Not only that, more and more visitors followed Ye Tian to listen to his professional explanations, and the team became larger and larger. It has already become a unique scenery in the large gallery, which is eye-catching!

Especially those visitors who are on the periphery of the crowd, because of the distance, what they hear is not very clear.

Anxiously, they wished they could find a loudspeaker and give it to Ye Tian so that he could use the loudspeaker to explain, so that everyone could hear it!

As for the many Louvre docents and tour guides in the Grand Gallery, they could only stand aside and wait with a wry smile!

For them, this may be the most relaxing afternoon, it is so leisurely!

While talking, Ye Tian and the others came to a world-famous painting, stopped one after another, and began to concentrate on admiring the top-notch work of art in front of them.

Almost in a moment, the excitement on everyone's faces disappeared, replaced by solemnity. Some people's expressions were even quite heavy, with compassion in their eyes!

The reason why this happened is for no other reason than the painting in front of me.

The painting presented to everyone at this moment is the famous "The Raft of the Medusa", the famous work of Géricault, the pioneer of French Romanticism, and his greatest work.

This is a veritable masterpiece, 716 cm wide and 491 cm high. Hanging on the wall has great visual impact and is shocking!

What is even more shocking is the content depicted in this painting,

The background of the painting is a vast sea, with a precarious raft floating on it. The sea wind is tearing at the sail made of sheets, and the huge waves are beating wildly on the raft, with the possibility of capsizing it at any time.

There were more than a dozen skinny refugees on the raft. Some refugees were dying, and some were still looking into the distance. The people who were held high were waving red and white cloth scarves in their hands, constantly calling for help from the distance.

The artist uses a pyramid-shaped composition to show the moment when the survivors on the raft discovered the shadow of the boat on the horizon. He also depicts the victims' hunger, thirst, suffering, painful moans and other situations with meticulous brushwork!

The whole picture is filled with a suffocating tragic atmosphere. The artist uses the brush in his hand to depict the suffering and tragedy of the survivors vividly and shockingly!

There was silence in front of the painting. All the visitors were completely shocked by the content depicted in the painting, and they all admired the painting with unusual concentration.

You can even see crystal tears in the eyes of some female visitors, almost flowing out!

After a while, the silence of the scene was broken by the sound coming from behind.

"Stephen, tell us about this painting "The Raft of Medusa". We would like to hear what you think of this famous painting full of suffering and suffocation"

Ye Tian turned to look at the visitor who was speaking, nodded to him, then turned back and said loudly:

"No problem, I can explain to you this painting "The Raft of the Medusa". This is the famous work of the famous French painter and pioneer of the Romantic school of painting, Ricoeur, and it is also his greatest work.

The birth of this painting marks the beginning of the romantic school of painting, but the content depicted in this painting is not romantic at all. Instead, it is very heavy, full of suffering, and suffocating!

In the history of Western art and French art, "The Raft of Medusa" has a very important historical position. Its appearance has refreshed the French art world, which was bound by neoclassicism.

The romantic elements contained in the painting constitute its characteristics, which are the tragic power, the rich expressiveness of the composition and characters, the solemnity and calmness of the tones, and the strong contrast between light and dark.

Through this magnificent masterpiece, Géricault showed his concern for the fate of mankind and his humanitarian spirit, and exposed the incompetence of the Bourbon authorities after the restoration, thus giving it a strong political metaphor.

Nineteenth-century art schools such as neoclassicism, romanticism, and realism all received certain inspiration from this painting. It can be said that this painting changed the aesthetic spirit of French painting!

After talking about the status and value of "The Raft of Medusa" in art history, I will now analyze this famous painting in detail. What I say next may make some people feel uncomfortable.

To explain this famous painting, it is inevitable to talk about the plot of cannibalism. If these contents make you feel uncomfortable, I suggest you leave temporarily to avoid having nightmares later! "

Speaking of this, Ye Tian immediately stopped and turned to look at the surrounding visitors!

Especially those visitors with children, as well as some female visitors with tears in their eyes, are his key targets!

When looking at the visitors, Ye Tian shook his head gently with a solemn expression, indicating that they had better leave and not listen to the next explanation.

Those visitors also understood their own situation, and immediately left the area and the suffocating "Raft of Medusa" with their children or friends

After they all walked away, Ye Tian turned back and really started to explain and analyze "The Raft of Medusa".

For the next time, only Ye Tian's voice echoed in people's ears in this area, and the other was the sound of heavy and rapid breathing.

Even the air here quickly became extremely heavy, making it difficult to breathe!

Two or three minutes later, Ye Tianfang finished explaining "The Raft of Medusa".

Without a moment's pause, he said loudly:

"The story of "The Raft of the Medusa" is so heavy and tragic. Standing here, I have difficulty breathing and am very depressed. I believe everyone feels the same!

I urgently need a surging passion to dispel this suffocating feeling. Where does this passion come from? I think there is nothing better than another romantic masterpiece, "Liberty Leading the People""

As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his finger and pointed at the "Freedom to Lead the People" hanging not far away, and then strode over there with Betty!

Anderson and Matisse followed closely and followed immediately!

Seeing them leaving, many other visitors immediately followed them with cheers. Everyone walked quickly, wishing they could leave "The Raft of Medusa" as soon as possible!
