Around five o'clock in the afternoon, the Northern Painters Showroom of the Uffizi Gallery.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others were standing in front of "The Adoration of the Three Magi" by Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters of Renaissance art and a famous art master, admiring this masterpiece of the Uffizi Gallery.
"The Visit of the Three Magi" is an oil painting created by Leonardo da Vinci in 1481. It is large in size, about two and a half meters high and about two and a half meters wide. It is an unfinished work.
The reason why it is said to be unfinished is because when creating this oil painting, Leonardo da Vinci left Florence and went to Milan, leaving this unfinished painting in Florence.
Even so, the artistic value of this painting is extraordinary. It plays a very important role in the history of Western art and is shrouded in a lot of mystery.
This has attracted countless experts, scholars and art lovers in the industry to be fascinated by it. They have been studying this painting for many years, trying to uncover the mystery shrouded in this painting.
"The Three Magi Come to Pilgrimage" is based on the story in the Bible of the Three Magi from the East who came to worship when **** was born. It has a very strong religious color.
In this unfinished work, Leonardo da Vinci did not simply list the relevant characters from a narrative perspective, but used a highly contrasting composition and image expression to show his artistic innovation.
The Virgin, the Holy Child and the three Magi from the East, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, form a stable triangular composition, while the surrounding people circle around with excited gestures, like a whirlpool of people.
The architectural ruins drawn in precise perspective and the galloping cavalry on the background also form a strong contrast.
When depicting the foreground characters, especially the crowd of onlookers, Leonardo da Vinci chose dark tones to allow the characters to emerge from the shadows, contrary to the clear and revealing characteristics of 15th-century paintings, and strived for subtlety and subtlety.
This artistic expression technique is Leonardo da Vinci’s original smoky tones.
Everyone stood in front of the painting and admired it quietly for a minute or two, and then Anderson whispered in confusion:
"Stephen, please explain this famous painting to everyone. I know the story of the coming of the Three Magi in the Bible, but to be honest, I can't understand this painting by Leonardo da Vinci"
As soon as he finished speaking, Betty immediately nodded and said:
"Me too, the story of the arrival of the Three Magi is familiar to me, but this painting by Leonardo da Vinci gives me a feeling of being in a fog, and I can't see through it!"
The same goes for everyone else at the scene, who basically couldn't understand this famous painting. They all looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his professional explanation.
Ye Tian turned to look at his wife, then glanced at everyone present, then smiled and said loudly:
"It's perfectly normal that you can't see through this painting "The Three Wise Men Come to Court". If you can see through this painting and lift the fog that surrounds this painting, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.
Over the past five hundred years, countless painters, critics, antique art appraisal experts, and art enthusiasts have studied this painting in depth, but no one dares to say that they can see through it"
After hearing these words, everyone at the scene couldn't help but be stunned.
"Wow! For more than five hundred years, people have not understood the secrets hidden in this painting. Is it possible that this painting is also related to the famous Da Vinci Code?"
"Da Vinci seemed to like to do this kind of thing very much, hiding secrets in paintings. The famous "Mona Lisa" has many unsolved mysteries, and the same is true for this painting "The Visit of the Three Magi"!"
Amidst the heated discussion, people became more interested in this outstanding painting by Leonardo da Vinci, and were full of expectations for Ye Tian’s next professional explanation.
When the sound at the scene subsided, Ye Tian immediately continued:
"Everyone guessed it right. This painting "The Visit of the Three Magi" is also related to the famous Da Vinci Code. However, it was created at a different time from the "Mona Lisa", and the secrets hidden in it are also different. Not the same.
Next, I will explain to you this mysterious painting by Leonardo da Vinci. I will use my observation and understanding to try to decipher the fog that surrounds this famous painting. Please give it a listen."
"Pa bang bang"
The scene immediately burst into warm applause. Everyone was applauding Ye Tian. Everyone was in high spirits and full of expectations.
The applause fell, and Ye Tian’s clear voice came out immediately.
"The Visit of the Three Magi" is an oil painting created by Leonardo da Vinci in 1481. Later, he was unable to complete the painting because he was going to Milan, so he left it in Florence.
Da Vinci was only twenty-nine years old when he created this painting. It was also the first important painting in his life. It is considered a treasure among the fifteen Leonardo da Vinci works that exist in the world.
Although this is an unfinished work, it marks the maturity of Leonardo da Vinci's artistic style. The artistic creativity he displayed in this painting has far surpassed that of his teachers and peers.
His dark tonal painting method makes the figures stand out from the shadows, breaking through the clear and revealing characteristics of traditional paintings. The emergence of this painting heralds the arrival of the Renaissance style.
Through this unfinished masterpiece, people can gain a deeper understanding of Leonardo da Vinci's psychology, his working methods, and his treatment of various Christian symbols and traditional Florentine imagery.
In this painting, we can also see his extraordinary sensitivity to the theory of force and vortex motion. This is one of the major reasons why he is different from other painters of his generation and is his genius.
In addition, the painting also revealed other information. On the far right of the painting, stood a tall young man in a robe. It is almost certain that it is a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, who was around 29 years old."
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to the right side of the famous painting in front of him, pointing out the unclear figure on the canvas.
Following the direction of his finger, everyone at the scene looked there, and soon saw the young man on the canvas.
"Hey! There is indeed a tall young man there, Leonardo da Vinci used to look like this when he was young!"
"Really, this is somewhat of a secret, although many people know it"
There was a buzz of discussion at the scene, and everyone was discussing it with great interest.
After a moment's pause, Ye Tian's clear voice came out again, immediately covering up all the sounds at the scene.
“The arrival of the Three Magi is one of the most common themes in Renaissance paintings. The Three Magi from the East came to Bethlehem to pay respect to the newborn Christ. There are many paintings on this theme.
Leonardo Da Vinci expressed all the traditional elements of this theme in this painting, but he boldly innovated in the treatment of human figures, which is completely different from the paintings of the same name by other artists.
The characters in this painting are not on the road, but in a stormy whirlpool. There are more than 60 images of people and animals in total, each with its own characteristics and absolutely no similarity.
In its vague, unfinished form, the multitude of images conjures a sense of confusion, and the group of pilgrims, filled with respect and curiosity, appears to be a ragtag group of people.
Everyone gathered around the Virgin and Child. Although the Virgin and Child were the center, the crowd around them made the Virgin and Child appear to be weak, as if something was trying to swallow them up.
This threatening whirlpool of people not only represents the symbolic gifts given by the three wise men from the East, but also indicates that this child’s future will be extraordinary..."
Ye Tian’s clear and clear voice kept coming out, echoing in the northern painter’s showroom and reaching the ears of every visitor.
People were admiring the famous painting in front of them and listening to Ye Tian's explanation. Everyone's mind was unknowingly brought into this painting by him.
While introducing and explaining, Ye Tian had turned on perspective again and looked at Leonardo da Vinci's "The Three Magi's Coming to the Court".
This was one of the main reasons why he came to the Uffizi Gallery to see if he could discover anything about this famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
Previously at the Louvre in Paris, he discovered some mysterious characters and the Fibonacci sequence on both the Mona Lisa and the Madonna of the Rocks. Maybe he can also discover something about this painting.
