Before “Freedom Leads the People”, Ye Tianzheng explained this world-famous painting to everyone with great emotion.
At this time, he has swept away the haze caused by “The Raft of the Medusa”, his expression is excited, his voice is full of passion, clear and loud!
The same goes for Betty, Anderson, and many other visitors. The sun is shining brightly on everyone’s face, and there is no longer any shadow!
“As we all know, this painting “Liberty Leading the People” was painted by the famous French painter Delacroix, the “Romantic Lion”. It is his most outstanding and famous work.
He inherited and developed the achievements and traditions of various European art schools since the Renaissance, including the Venetian School, the Dutch School, Rubens and other famous artists, and had a huge influence on later generations.
After introducing Delacroix, let me introduce this painting. This is an oil painting created by Delacroix to commemorate the French July Revolution in 1830. It is a representative work of romanticism.
The content depicted in the painting is a street battle scene at the critical moment of winning the July Revolution. It uses a romantic technique to skillfully combine freehand brushwork and realism to reproduce the battle that took place on the streets of Paris.
Delacroix used rich and blazing colors and chiaroscuro, dynamic composition, unrestrained brushwork, and compact structure to express the revolutionary’s rising enthusiasm and indomitable momentum.
He used the brush in his hand to praise the July Revolution in which workers, petty bourgeoisie and intellectuals were the main body. Once this painting “Liberty Leading the People” was published, it immediately caused a sensation in Paris.
The content displayed in this painting appropriately expresses the core political themes of modern society, ‘freedom and democracy’. This painting has also become a symbol representing the French national spirit! …”
With Ye Tian’s professional explanation, everyone at the scene was attentively admiring this romantic masterpiece, and their understanding of this world-famous painting became deeper!
Even the Louvre commentators, tour guides, and several painters who were copying at the scene listened to Ye Tian’s explanation with interest and were equally fascinated.
Everyone at the scene fell silent. Only Ye Tian’s voice echoed in the air and reached everyone’s ears clearly.
“Let’s analyze the character in the painting. This young woman holding high the red, white and blue flag and holding an infantry gun is Clara Lessing, who also symbolizes the Statue of Liberty.
The young man on the left side of the Statue of Liberty wearing a black velvet beret, carrying a large ammunition box, and waving a cavalry pistol in his hand symbolizes the young hero Alaire.
During the July Revolution, Clara Lessing first raised the tricolor symbolizing the republic on the barricade; the young Allaire planted the flag on a bridge next to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
After planting the flag, Allaire was shot and fell. The painter Delacroix happened to witness this tragic and fierce scene. Filled with righteous indignation, he created “Liberty Leading the People”.
Please take a look at this gentleman in a tuxedo. This is Delacroix himself. While expressing his revolutionary passion, this famous painter also did not forget to show his cuteness as an intellectual! “
As he spoke, Ye Tian specifically pointed at Delacroix in the painting who was holding a double-barreled shotgun and following behind the Statue of Liberty, preparing to fight!
“Hahaha”
There was a knowing laughter at the scene, and all the visitors laughed softly.
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian immediately picked up what he had just said and continued to explain this world-famous painting to everyone.
In the blink of an eye, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Ye Tian and the others finally finished visiting the many top-notch artworks displayed in the large gallery. Although they were just a quick glance, they were also very happy!
Next, it’s time to admire the famous Italian lady, the Mona Lisa, and see what secrets are hidden behind her mysterious smile, and whether it can bring huge surprises!
After visiting the “Mona Lisa” Hall, go straight ahead and enter the French Oil Painting Gallery, where Napoleon’s collection is displayed, all of which are very important French oil paintings.
After leaving the French Oil Painting Museum, it’s probably time for the Louvre to close. Today’s art tour of the Louvre will also come to a perfect end.
After admiring the last painting in the large gallery, “The Return of the Prodigal Son” by Lionello Sparta, Ye Tian and the others turned around and walked toward the entrance of the large gallery connecting the Mona Lisa Hall. .
Although they had been visiting the Louvre for most of the day, they were still energetic and did not seem to be tired at all.
Everyone of them is still very interested, wishing they could see all the top art works in the Louvre Museum in one day, that would be so enjoyable!
Obviously, that is simply impossible!
Seeing them turn around and leave, a visitor immediately asked curiously:
“Steven, where are you going to visit next? Can we continue to follow you and listen to your explanation? To be honest, your explanation is the most professional and exciting I have ever heard. It makes people want to stop!”
Ye Tian turned to look at the inquiring visitor, then smiled and said loudly:
“Next we are going to visit the Mona Lisa Hall to appreciate the most famous painting in the world and the mysterious smile of the Italian lady.
The “Mona Lisa” Hall is no better than a large gallery. The space there is limited, and there must be a lot of visitors gathered in front of the “Mona Lisa”, so I don’t recommend that you continue to follow us.
If everyone continues to follow us and listen to my explanation like before, the “Mona Lisa” hall will be blocked in an instant, and an accident may happen.
In view of this, in order to avoid this situation from happening, I will not give any public explanations anymore! Please understand, please visit on your own and enjoy this wonderful day! “
Hearing what he said, what other visitors could say!
“Okay, Steven, in that case, let’s visit by ourselves. Thank you for your previous explanation. It’s really wonderful! It also opened our eyes. Today’s trip to the Louvre is really worth it. ”
The visitor just nodded and said with a slightly regretful tone.
Subsequently, the many visitors following Ye Tian and the others quickly dispersed and went on their own tours. The grand gallery soon returned to its original appearance.
Ye Tian and the others were admiring the artworks hanging on the walls of the large gallery, laughing and chatting in low voices, and strolled towards the “Mona Lisa” hall. Everyone was very relaxed.
Just when they were about to reach the entrance of the “Mona Lisa” hall, Ye Tian suddenly felt his cell phone vibrating in his pocket.
He immediately took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was a call from Martinez.
Immediately afterwards, he slid open the screen lock and put the phone to his ear, and Martinez’s voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
“Steven, you have been visiting the Grand Gallery just now, and you were explaining the artworks hanging in the Grand Gallery to the visitors, so I didn’t call you, for fear of disturbing your enjoyment.
I heard from the staff of the Grand Gallery that I am calling you now that you have finished your visit. I have a piece of good news to tell you. I believe you will be ecstatic and cheering after hearing it! “
Hearing this, Ye Tian’s face immediately burst into a bright smile.
He already guessed what good news Martinez was talking about in an instant.
“What is the good news specifically? Martinez, tell me, have you heard that the Guimet Museum has relented and agreed to the terms of exchange I proposed?”
“Yes, the Guimet Museum has relented and generally agreed to the terms of exchange you proposed. They are still discussing the specific details and will probably make a decision soon.
After lunch, we held a video conference with several senior officials of the Guimet Museum. We agreed to send several heavyweight collections, and only then did the Guimet Museum nod in agreement.
It seems that our art deal is about to be concluded, and we at the Louvre will inevitably be stabbed by you. Thinking of this, we feel extremely painful! “
Martinez said excitedly, not even feeling a bit of physical pain!
“Great! When the Guimet Museum makes a decision, you must contact me as soon as possible. I would like to know what Chinese antiques the Guimet Museum will exchange.
From now on until the museum closes in the evening, we will either visit the Mona Lisa Hall or the French Oil Painting Gallery. You can also come directly to us, which is very convenient! “
Ye Tian chuckled and whispered, his eyes shining with excitement.
Almost without thinking, Martinez gave the answer.
“I’ll go find you then. While breaking the news, I also want to hear your explanation. It must be very exciting!”
After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian hung up the phone and ended the call.
Immediately afterwards, the group of them walked into the Mona Lisa exhibition hall, ready to appreciate the most famous painting in the world!
