After standing for a while admiring "The Oath of the Brothers of Horas", a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Mr. Steven, please explain this famous painting to everyone. Although everyone knows something about this painting, it is very superficial and knows nothing about the deeper things!"
"Yes, Mr. Steven, let me explain it to you. Everyone here must want to know more about this famous painting!"
Someone echoed, his voice full of expectation.
Ye Tian turned around and looked at the many visitors around him, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Since you are willing to listen, let me explain to you. Speaking of "The Oath of the Brothers Horatii" by Jacques-Louis David, we have to talk about the age and background of the creation of this oil painting.
Only by understanding this background knowledge can everyone better understand the meaning of this painting, as well as its important position and influence in the history of Western art and French art.
This painting "The Oath of the Horatian Brothers" was a painting ordered by King Louis XVI of France from the painter David. The content of the painting was also specified by Louis XVI. At that time, David's reputation was still very average.
After receiving the assignment, David did not create according to the requirements of the French royal family, but deliberately strengthened the resolute determination of the characters in the painting. This is very obvious in the painting.
For the survival of the nation and to save the motherland, we can only sacrifice family and personal interests! The characters in the painting have solemn expressions and passionate movements, and the classical buildings in the background also highlight this solemn atmosphere.
This painting caused a huge sensation as soon as it came out. The classical heroism theme, solemn colors and rigorous composition it showed made it a representative work of the classical school of painting.
Because of this painting "The Oath of the Brothers Horatii", David became famous in one fell swoop and quickly established his position in the painting and cultural circles. Later, he was praised as the founder of the neoclassical school of painting.
When the French people sang the revolutionary song "Victory or Death" and rushed to the front line to fight against foreign intervention forces and aristocratic exiles, the inspirational effect of this painting was very obvious!
It can be said that during the French Revolution, this painting "The Oath of the Brothers of Horatith" was a revolutionary banner and a spiritual portrayal of countless revolutionaries. Its importance is evident..."
Listening to Ye Tian’s professional explanation and admiring this outstanding painting full of heroism, almost all visitors at the scene were immersed in the wonderful artistic conception created by the painting.
At this time, they seemed to be in the ancient city of Rome, transformed into one of the three Horas brothers, preparing to take over the sword from the old Horas, and rush to the fighting field without looking back!
Next, they will engage in life-and-death battles with fierce opponents and familiar friends, facing an unknown fate and determining the survival of the city of Rome!
Either return victorious or die in battle!
This powerful and heroic cry resounded in the hearts of almost every visitor, making everyone excited!
At the same time, these visitors feel that they are on the streets of Paris at the end of the 18th century and during the French Revolution, in that most passionate and exciting glorious era!
At this moment, they seemed to have transformed into revolutionaries on the streets of Paris, full of passion and blood!
They held high the banner of 'liberty, equality and fraternity', sang the revolutionary song 'Either victory or death', and marched forward towards the Bastille and towards the battlefield filled with blood and fire!
In front of "The Oath of the Horatith Brothers", only Ye Tian's clear voice echoed in the air, and then there was the sound of heavy and rapid breathing!
Other than that, there is no other sound here.
Not only the many visitors in front of this painting, but also the visitors in front of several paintings nearby, all turned their heads to look here and listened to Ye Tian's explanation. Everyone was extremely attentive.
It took about two or three minutes for Ye Tiancai to finish explaining this top-notch painting. His explanation was extremely thorough, exciting and vivid!
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the scene.
"Pa bang bang"
Everyone at the scene was applauding, for Ye Tian’s wonderful explanation and for the top-notch painting in front of him. The warm applause resounded throughout the entire Louvre Gallery.
After the applause fell, Ye Tian and the others reluctantly left after appreciating the painting carefully, moving towards the next painting and continuing to appreciate the many top-notch works of art displayed here!
The next painting is also a well-known top-notch work of art, created by Botticelli, a famous painter of the Florentine school of painting in Italy during the Renaissance.
Unknowingly, Ye Tian and the others had entered the Grand Gallery of the Louvre for more than an hour, admiring dozens or hundreds of world-famous paintings.
That's it, under the circumstances of making a choice, the key targets they chose are those top paintings that occupy a special position in the history of art, are famous far and wide, and have extraordinary artistic value!
For the rest of the relatively less famous paintings, they could only glance at them and pass them by!
If they hadn't looked at each painting carefully, stayed in front of it for a few minutes, and explained it, they might still be near the entrance of the Grand Gallery.
At that speed, if you want to see all the paintings in the big gallery, you will have to stay here for at least a few days.
After admiring another famous painting, Ye Tian and the others continued to walk forward, and finally came to one of the most important paintings in the Grand Gallery, Leonardo da Vinci's "The Madonna of the Rocks".
When Ye Tian walked in front of this world-famous painting, his emotions couldn't help but become agitated. His eyes instantly lit up, shining with excitement, like searchlights.
Betty walking beside him, Anderson on the other side, and many other visitors who followed, everyone behaved in the same way, and everyone was extremely excited!
You know, this is an outstanding painting by Leonardo da Vinci, a famous Italian painter, one of the three masters of the Renaissance, and the only all-rounder in human history.
Aside from Leonardo da Vinci's huge fame, the painting "Madonna of the Rocks" itself is also very outstanding and is a well-deserved top-notch work of art!
In this painting "The Madonna of the Rocks", Leonardo da Vinci used his famous mist perspective technique to its fullest, which can be called a textbook of mist perspective technique. It is breathtaking!
After coming to stand in front of this painting, Ye Tian couldn't wait to start admiring this world-famous outstanding painting, looking at it with unusual concentration.
"The Virgin of the Rocks" is an altarpiece that Leonardo da Vinci painted for the San Francesco Church in Milan, Italy, at the request of a religious group.
In this painting, the Virgin Mary is located in the center of the painting. She holds the baby St. John in her right hand. Jesus, who is also a baby, sits on her left. Behind **** is an angel in red!
The three main figures in the painting are positioned in a perfect triangular composition, and the three main figures respond to each other with gestures.
The background of the entire painting is a deep cave, dotted with some flowers and plants. The cave is transparent, and light penetrates into the cave from the outside, illuminating the space in the cave!
There is no doubt that this is a traditional religious theme painting, but from the expression techniques and composition layout, we can see Leonardo da Vinci's profound artistic attainments.
Especially the use of smoke-like brushwork when depicting characters and environments, and the use of scientific and rigorous realism, perspective, shrinkage and other techniques, all clearly demonstrate Daphne's wonderful and exquisite painting techniques.
Anyone who has studied the art of the Renaissance can see at a glance that Leonardo da Vinci has reached an unprecedented level in dealing with the dialectical relationship between realistic realism and artistic processing!
In terms of the artistic treatment of the plot, the unusual and elusive scenery, the organic integration of the characters and the environment, the clever use of light, the characters illuminated by noble beauty, etc.
Da Vinci also used his own paintbrush to show his own unique novelty, which was completely different from many famous painters of the same period!
