"Wow! The back curve of this female marble statue is so beautiful. It seems to be the work of a master at first glance, but I don’t know which master sculptor it is?"
"When I looked at the outline of the back of this statue when it was still deep under the sea, I felt that it looked familiar. Now this feeling is even stronger."
As soon as Ye Tiangang opened the rope net and exposed the back of the female human statue, there was a sound of exclamation at the scene.
The ones who were amazed were naturally those experts and scholars, and many professionals on the live broadcast side performed similarly.
At this time, all these experts and scholars looked at the female human statue with bright eyes, reluctant to blink.
The faces of several experts and scholars have revealed thoughtful, even incredulous expressions.
The performance of these experts and scholars was all seen by Ye Tian.
He just smiled softly and said nothing more. Then he picked up a soft brush and began to clean the coral residue on the statue with extremely gentle movements.
And this marble statue is another naked female human body statue. Although it is only the back of the statue, it is curvaceous, **** and enchanting, which makes people daydream about it.
In this way, Ye Tian's movements looked somewhat ambiguous, as if he was touching his lover's skin, extremely gentle.
The experts and scholars gathered around the rope net now wished they could take Ye Tian's place and clean up the coral debris on the female statue by themselves.
Although they have not yet recognized the statue of a female human body in front of them, which is face down and partially covered by a rope net, they are very sure in their hearts that this is definitely a masterpiece and must be priceless.
Who wouldn’t want to touch such a priceless top-notch work of art and have it appraised immediately?
Unfortunately, they are not the owners of this statue and naturally do not have such qualifications.
"Stephen, can it be announced now that this female human body statue is the work of a famous sculptor in ancient Greece or the Hellenistic era? How much is it worth?"
This kid Jason finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked impatiently.
This is also a question that everyone else is very concerned about. Everyone wants to know the answer to this question. Everyone looks at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian stopped his cleaning work and gently stroked the back of the marble statue with his hand, his movements extremely gentle.
However, in the eyes of others, his actions made everyone feel a little bit chilled.
After gently touching the back of the statue, Ye Tian looked up at Jason, glanced at everyone present, and then said with a proud smile:
"Since everyone is so eager, let me reveal the answer. Ladies and gentlemen, this life-size female statue in front of you is extremely famous in the history of ancient Greece and is a truly priceless treasure.
This female statue was created by Master Praxiteles, one of the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era. It is the most outstanding representative work of Praxiteles, also known as the famous "Nidas" Aphrodite"
After the words fell, the scene was silent for a while, and then completely exploded. The same situation happened in front of countless live broadcasts.
"Oh my God! This female human body statue is actually "Aphrodite of Nidas", how is it possible? I'm not dreaming, am I? This dream is too beautiful and unreal!"
"Wow! No wonder the back curve of this female human statue looks familiar to me. It turns out she is "Aphrodite of Nidas". That's right. I have seen a copy of it. .
No need to ask, the edge covered by the rope net must be Aphrodite’s bath towel. This guy Steven did it on purpose to prevent everyone from seeing the full picture of this statue."
Amidst the exclamations, the experts and scholars gathered around the rope net all took a step forward, then quickly squatted down and began to carefully examine the marble statue.
It can be seen that each of them was almost crazy with excitement, and they almost threw themselves on the female human body statue.
Ye Tian, who was squatting next to the marble statue, was so squeezed by these guys that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this situation, he could only smile bitterly, then stood up and made way for those experts and scholars who had fallen into madness.
Fortunately, this is an intact marble statue. It is very strong and there is no need to worry about being damaged. How can those experts and scholars not give up!
Not only the scene on the main deck of the Brave and Fearless, but also the outside world at this time, because of what Ye Tian just said, caused a huge wave.
Many experts and scholars who were watching the live broadcast, as well as people who had a little knowledge of Western art history, had their heads in their hands and exclaimed crazily.
They even couldn't believe what they just heard, and wondered if they were hallucinating!
"Stephen, can you introduce this beautiful female human body sculpture to everyone? Many viewers on the live broadcast are not professionals, and may not know this famous sculpture very well!"
Chandler said excitedly, his voice trembling.
Ye Tian turned to look at this guy, then nodded slightly towards the camera and said:
"Okay, let me now introduce to you this famous female human body statue. Let me first talk about the sculptor who created this statue. That is Praxiteles, one of the three major sculptors in the Hellenistic era. .
Praxiteles, whose birth and death dates are unknown, was an outstanding sculptor in late classical Greece. Very few life stories have been handed down. His main creative period was from 370 BC to 330 BC.
He is good at incorporating characters from ancient Greek myths and legends into ordinary daily life to describe them. His style is soft, delicate and full of lyricism, which established the artistic characteristics of Greek sculpture in the fourth century BC.
The "Aphrodite of Nidas" in front of you is the most outstanding representative work of Praxiteles. Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty in Greek mythology, equivalent to the goddess in Roman mythology. of Venus.
Nidas is a small ancient Greek city. This marble sculpture is a sculpture that the residents of Nidas hired Praxiteles to create for this ancient Greek city.
This marble female human body sculpture is the first life-size **** female sculpture in Greek history. Its carving skills are extremely superb and unparalleled in the world, so this work is extremely famous.
There are many stories hidden behind this **** female sculpture. When creating this human sculpture, the model Praxiteles chose was his lover and model Phryne.
Phryne was the most famous courtesan in Greece at that time. There are many stories and legends about her in history. There are also many artistic works about her in later generations. I believe many people have seen it.
Her beauty and open behavior have inspired many outstanding sculptures, dramas and paintings from ancient Greece to modern times, such as Jerome's famous painting "Phryne in the Court".
Let’s talk about the "Aphrodite of Nidas". This **** female sculpture caused a huge sensation as soon as it came out. Many kings in the Hellenistic era wanted to buy this statue at a high price.
These acquisition requests were rejected by the residents of Nidas. The residents of Nidas enshrined the statue in a seaside shrine, attracting countless people to visit, and it became a fashion at the time."
As soon as I said this, a familiar voice suddenly came to everyone's ears, coming from Maria, the curator of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece.
"Stephen, can you think of a way to erect this "Aphrodite of Nidas"? Let everyone appreciate this unparalleled work of art and feel the artistic charm of the master"
When she said these words, Maria's voice was trembling slightly with excitement, and there were even crystal tears in her eyes.
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking, turned to look at this old friend who was a bit rude, then nodded with a smile and said:
"No problem, Maria, but wait a moment, how precious this "Aphrodite of Nidas" is, and you know very well that you must be extremely careful if you want to move this statue."
Maria nodded slightly and had no objection.
Leon, who was on the other side of the rope net, suddenly interrupted and said:
"Yes, Steven, this statue is a truly priceless treasure and a spiritual wealth that belongs to all mankind. It must not be damaged in any way, no matter how small it is"
