Under perspective, the "Coronation Ceremony of Napoleon I" in front of him was immediately seen clearly by Ye Tian. The painter David's delicate brushstrokes, oil paints, traces of spatulas, canvas, and the wall behind, etc.
All of this was clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes, not a single thing was missed!
Even the other world-famous painting hanging on the back of the wall and the few visitors in front of that painting were all seen by Ye Tian at a glance. There was no secret at all.
However, because the area of "The Coronation Ceremony of Napoleon I" is so large, more than fifty square meters, from where Ye Tian stands, it is impossible to see through the entire painting at a glance, and can only be seen bit by bit.
The first thing he looked through was the central area where Napoleon and Josephine were. This was where David painted the most carefully and was the focus of the entire painting. The picture was almost perfect!
Unfortunately, Ye Tian did not find any hidden secrets in this central area. He only saw the superb painting skills of the painter David, which was breathtaking!
After sighing secretly, Ye Tian immediately changed his target and began to see through the area where the Pope and his entourage were. That was the secondary area of this painting!
Still nothing, no hidden secrets!
In the painting of the painter David, the depressed expression of Pope Pius VII and the aggrieved appearance of being angry but reluctant to speak are vividly displayed.
The cardinals and many entourage standing on both sides of and behind Pius VII also had very depressed expressions, and their faces were too good to look at.
Next, Ye Tian turned his gaze to where Napoleon's mother was and began to see through that area.
Compared with other figures in the painting, Napoleon's mother was obviously added later. In this regard, the traces of sketches on the canvas provide proof that Napoleon's mother was not included in the original sketch.
Although this is a brand new discovery, it is not the secret that Ye Tian hopes to see.
Similar to the previously explored places, there are no surprising discoveries in this area.
Subsequently, Ye Tian looked through the area where the painter David was, where Napoleon's brothers and sisters were, and where other princes, nobles, and envoys from various countries were watching the ceremony, but found nothing.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had completely seen through all the places where there were figures in the painting, leaving only the background of the painting and some decorations that had not been seen through.
For Ye Tian, this result is undoubtedly a bit disappointing. Is there no secret hidden in this painting? I just think too much!
Although he thought so in his heart, Ye Tian did not end his clairvoyance just yet!
After a short pause, he looked at the background of the painting, where the coronation ceremony was held, the interior environment and decoration of Notre Dame de Paris.
On those walls and sculptures, Ye Tian still found nothing. He didn't find any secret signs or mysterious characters, numbers or anything like that.
However, when his eyes swept across a dark green curtain hanging above the auditorium, he made a surprising discovery.
It was a French address name, 'No. 15, rue de Chanunes'. The writing was very light and small, the color was the same as the curtain, and it was covered with a layer of dark green paint.
Because of this, and because it is located in an inconspicuous location where no one can study it, this line of text has not been discovered, and the secret has been kept until now.
Chaunnes Avenue, Ye Tian happens to know this street, it is on the Île de la Cité where Notre Dame Cathedral is located, less than fifty meters away from Notre Dame Cathedral, and not far from the Louvre Museum.
There is a very good hotel on this street. Before leaving for Europe, Ye Tian had considered that five-star hotel when booking the hotel.
Later, considering that the hotel was on the island, the space for moving around was limited, and the Regina Hotel was closer to the Louvre and had a better view, so I didn’t choose that five-star hotel.
I don’t know what kind of building ‘No. 15 Chanunes Street’ is? Is it an ordinary residential building or a hotel? Is it private property or government property? Is it possible to buy it?
What secret does ‘15 Avenue de Chanunes’ hide? Is it related to Jacques-Louis David or Napoleon? Could there be any major secrets or treasures hidden?
After the brief surprise, a series of questions immediately flashed through Ye Tian's mind!
At the same time, he also quickly made a decision to go to No. 15 Chanunes Street another day to find out what secrets were hidden there. Maybe he would make a surprising discovery.
During this trip to Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral was originally a must-visit attraction. It was just the right time to hunt rabbits, so there was no need to miss out!
If there is really any major secret or treasure hidden in 15 Avenue de Chanunes, then you must try your best to buy that building and start the treasure hunt!
Whether that building belongs to a private person or the French government, as long as it is not an annex to Notre Dame de Paris, Ye Tian is sure to win it. It is just a matter of more money and less money!
Next, Ye Tian looked through the rest of the painting without missing any corner.
However, he never found any other characters or addresses. '15 Avenue de Chanunes' was the only secret hidden in this world-famous painting.
It took about ten seconds for Ye Tian to thoroughly see through the "Coronation Ceremony of Napoleon I" and received a surprise with an unknown answer.
Immediately afterwards, he withdrew his gaze, ended the perspective, and continued to explain this world-famous painting to Betty and the others.
"..., David painted a total of two "Coronation Ceremony of Napoleon I", one is in front of everyone, and the other is preserved in the Palace of Versailles.
The two paintings are almost identical, the only difference is in the color of Napoleon’s favorite sister Paulina’s dress. The one in Versailles is wearing red gauze, this one is in white gauze,..."
After two or three minutes, Ye Tian's professional and exciting explanation finally came to an end.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from around him.
"Pa bang bang"
The applause was very warm, coming from Betty and the others, as well as several nearby visitors.
When the applause subsided, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Steven, your explanation is really wonderful. It is definitely the best explanation I have ever heard. It is extremely professional and very vivid. It is unmatched by anyone!"
These words came from Martinez. He and the other two senior executives of the Louvre had arrived here for a while and happened to hear the second half of Ye Tian's explanation.
Hearing the voice of this old friend, Ye Tian immediately turned around, looked at the three Louvre Museum executives, and said politely with a smile:
"How flattering! Martinez, compared with this painting "The Coronation of Napoleon I", no matter how wonderful my explanation is, it seems very pale, and it is not enough to describe the beauty of this famous painting!
These top-notch works of art in the Louvre Museum are so beautiful and of such high quality! Simply unparalleled! Visiting here is like swimming in the ocean of art, it's so enjoyable!
Martinez, if possible, I would like to slightly change our trading conditions. You don’t have to exchange Chinese antiques with me. I don’t mind other top-notch artworks either!
I don’t dare to hope for Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”, “Madonna of the Rocks”, and this painting of “The Coronation of Napoleon I”, and I’m sure the Louvre won’t be able to trade them.
I'm not very interested in religious-themed artworks, for reasons we all know. If you are willing to exchange "Liberty Leading the People" or "The Oath of the Brothers of Horatii" in exchange, I would be very happy! "
"You are very happy? But we are not happy, Steven, you are such a greedy bastard! Your appetite is too big, and you dare to have the idea of "Liberty Leading the People" and "The Oath of the Brothers of Horas" !
"Liberty Leads the People" is a symbol of the French national spirit, and "The Oath of the Brothers of Horatith" is the battle hymn of the French Revolution, inspiring countless revolutionaries to fight for freedom.
Want these two paintings? I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible. No matter what kind of antique art you bring out in exchange, it is impossible to exchange these two unique world-famous paintings! "
Martinez said angrily, shaking his head firmly.
The other two senior executives of the Louvre were the same. They rolled their eyes in anger, but they were helpless.
Many tourists at the scene were frightened by Ye Tian's words. They all looked at Ye Tian in dumbfounded manner, as if they were looking at a madman.
Can I switch to "Liberty Leading the People" and "The Oath of the Brothers of Horas"? Of course Ye Tian knew it. Unless he could produce a top-notch artwork on the level of "Mona Lisa", he wouldn't even think about it!
After making a few jokes, Ye Tian got to the point.
"Martinez, if I guess correctly, there must be good news from the Guimet Museum. Have they already negotiated the terms of exchange?"
"Yes, the Guimet Museum held an afternoon meeting and finally made a decision to exchange with you, exchanging Chinese antiques for the Queen Mary jewelry in your hands.
Let’s discuss the specific exchange conditions in another place. This place is obviously not suitable. We will be closing in a while. We can find a place to sit down and discuss slowly.”
Martinez said seriously, with excitement in his eyes.
Ye Tian raised his hand and looked at his watch, then nodded with a smile and said:
“Well, we have almost finished visiting the French Oil Painting Museum, and we can leave now. Let’s talk somewhere else. I really want to know the specific terms of exchange for the Guimet Museum!”
"In that case, let's leave now. The Napoleon III Restaurant is not far from here. It's very quiet there and is perfect for discussing deals between us. Please follow me!"
After saying that, Martinez made a gesture of invitation, then turned around and walked out of the exhibition hall.
Ye Tian greeted Betty and the others and immediately followed them.
