After appreciating "The Arrival of the Three Magi", Ye Tian and the others quickly came to another painting also written by Leonardo da Vinci, "The Annunciation", and began to appreciate this famous top-notch work of art.
To be precise, the painting "Annunciation" is not the work of Leonardo da Vinci alone, but a painting he completed in collaboration with the art master Verrocchio when he was young.
Verrocchio was a famous painter during the Italian Renaissance and one of the most influential artists in the second half of the fifteenth century.
He also has another more important and famous identity. He is the teacher of famous painters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli.
Among his students, there was also a famous painter named Perugino, who was one of the three masters of art and the teacher of Raphael.
In addition, Verrocchio also had a great influence on Michelangelo.
It can be said that as long as we talk about the Renaissance movement and the three masters of Renaissance art, we cannot avoid Verrocchio.
In the history of Western art, this is a top artist with a very special and important status.
While admiring "The Annunciation", Ye Tian did not forget to secretly turn on perspective to explore the secrets hidden behind this painting.
Unfortunately, he did not find the mysterious characters or the Fibonacci sequence in this famous painting, unlike several other Leonardo da Vinci paintings he had seen before.
But he discovered that Leonardo da Vinci used a lead-free pigment when painting, while Verrocchio used lead-based pigments.
At first glance, apart from being a priceless piece of top-notch art, there is nothing special about this painting.
However, if this famous painting is scanned by a modern X-ray machine, people will find that the Archangel Gabriel painted by Leonardo da Vinci has disappeared and become invisible.
This is just a little trick played by Leonardo da Vinci, or a little cleverness. It seems unsurprising now, but in his time, it was an incredible miracle.
It can be seen from this that Leonardo da Vinci deserves the reputation of a genius in all fields and the title of scientist.
By looking through the painting "The Annunciation", Ye Tian was also able to determine that Leonardo da Vinci was not an alien like some mythical legends.
At least in this painting, Ye Tian found no evidence that Leonardo da Vinci was an alien. He was just a talented and intelligent top artist, or a genius in all fields.
After appreciating the "Annunciation", Ye Tian and the others admired other top-notch artworks also displayed in this exhibition hall, and continued to swim in the ocean of art.
These include the works of the famous Padua school painter Mantegna, the works of the famous Venetian school painters Bellini and Giorgione, the works of the famous innovative painter Correggio, etc.
Without exception, every piece of art displayed in this exhibition hall is beautiful and priceless. They are all well-deserved top-notch works of art, which are pleasing to the eye and intoxicating!
By the time Ye Tian and the others walked out of the Northern Painters Showroom, it was already past six in the afternoon.
Due to time constraints, they could only skim through the rest of the visit, greatly increasing the speed of the visit. Otherwise, it would be impossible to visit the remaining exhibition halls of the Uffizi Gallery.
In the German painter showroom, they saw outstanding works by top art masters such as Dürer and Cranach, each of which can be called a German national treasure.
In the subsequent late Renaissance showroom, they saw two other treasures of the Uffizi Gallery, Raphael's "Madonna of the Goldfinch" and Michelangelo's "Sagrada Familia" 》.
Through perspective, Ye Tian also discovered two hidden secrets in Raphael's "The Madonna of the Goldfinch", which had never been discovered before!
However, these two secrets are related to this painting and do not point to a treasure somewhere. It is of no use to Ye Tian whether he finds it or not, and he does not do artistic research.
In addition to these two treasures, this exhibition hall also displays outstanding works by the famous Tuscan painter Mani Eriste and others.
The next Venetian School Showroom displays a series of outstanding works by famous Venetian School painters such as Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto.
Among them, "Flower" and "Venus of Urbino" by the master of art Titian are the most outstanding and precious. These two top-notch works of art are also the centerpieces of the Uffizi Gallery. The treasure of the museum.
Even if they just took a quick look, it was already nine o'clock in the evening by the time Ye Tian and the others finished visiting the remaining exhibition halls and appreciating the top-notch artworks displayed in these exhibition halls.
At this time, it was completely dark outside.
Because he knew the director of the Uffizi Museum and Ye Tian had great influence in the field of antique art collection, the Uffizi Museum made a special exception and postponed the closing time for more than two hours.
It wasn't until Ye Tian and the others visited all the exhibition halls and admired most of the top-notch artworks on display that the Uffizi Gallery closed and ended today's exhibition activities.
If not, Ye Tian and the others would have no choice but to leave today with regrets, and wait until they have the opportunity to visit here again in the future.
When Ye Tian and the others walked out of the last exhibition hall and prepared to leave the Uffizi Gallery, they saw at a glance that several old and new friends were waiting at the entrance of the exhibition hall.
Among them are Filippo, director of the Uffizi Gallery, director of the Renaissance Art Department of the Uffizi Gallery, and Mario, director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.
Seeing these old and new friends, Ye Tian immediately put on a bright smile and walked over quickly.
"Good evening, gentlemen, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. It's a pleasure to meet you, Filippo. I want to thank you and the Uffizi Gallery in particular.
Thank you for your generosity and giving us enough time to enjoy the top-notch artworks displayed in this famous art gallery instead of leaving with regrets"
Filippo shook hands with Ye Tian with a smile, and then said politely:
"Good evening, Steven, you are such an energetic guy, so passionate, and even a little sleepless. No wonder you can achieve such great achievements.
At this time, I also understand why you have such a sharp vision and why you have such profound knowledge about antiques and art. Your learning method is really a bit scary.
Since you have come to Florence and visited the Uffizi Gallery, it is our honor. It is appropriate to close the door later. No need to thank you. To be honest, we also want to make good friends! "
Next, Ye Tian said hello, shook hands, and said a few polite words to the others one by one.
After a while of greetings, Mario asked curiously:
"Steven, what are your plans for your next trip? I read news reports before that you are going to Rome next"
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then said with a smile:
“Tomorrow we are going to visit the Pitti Palace on the other side of the Arno River, and then we will leave Florence and go to Milan, the fashion capital, and then to Rome.
I have been admiring the Milan Canal Antique Market, Milan Cathedral, Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "The Last Supper", etc., so of course I can't miss it! "
Hearing this, the Italians in front of them couldn't help but shiver secretly, with chills running down their backs.
No need to ask! The antique dealers in Milan will be in bad luck, and they will not be able to escape the tragic fate of being robbed crazily by this guy Steven, just like the antique dealers in Florence!
While talking, everyone had already walked out of the Uffizi Gallery.
Afterwards, Ye Tian and the others said goodbye and left by car, returning to the Medici Villa Hotel.
At this time, the atmosphere in the old city of Florence, shrouded in darkness, was still very tense. Police officers patrolling with guns and live ammunition could be seen everywhere on the streets. They were on high alert, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
