"The painting "Spring" can be called an 'encyclopedia of flowers.' In this painting, Botticelli painted more than 170 varieties and a total of more than 500 flowers.
Without exception, every flower in this painting is carefully crafted and blooms beautifully in the spring breeze. It is so exquisite and perfect, it is pleasing to the eye..."
Ye Tian continued to explain Botticelli’s pinnacle work, professionally, accurately, and very vividly.
At this time, many visitors had gathered in front of this famous painting.
While everyone was admiring the spring-filled and humanistic painting in front of them, they were listening to Ye Tian's explanation. Everyone looked intoxicated.
Many other tourists who were visiting the Uffizi Gallery heard that Ye Tian was publicly explaining Botticelli's "Primavera" here, and they rushed over and joined the listening crowd.
For them, the opportunity to listen to the professional explanations of the top antique art appraisal experts is a rare opportunity. How can they miss it?
The explanation continued, and Ye Tian’s clear voice echoed in the fifteenth-century Florence showroom and continued to reach people’s ears.
“In terms of the treatment of human figures, Botticelli’s treatment of the Three Graces can be said to be unprecedented, because there has never been such a sensual female body before him.
However, some people think that the reason why the three goddesses of Meihui can be so naked is because they are goddesses. The feeling that goddesses bring to people is a kind of joy without evil thoughts..."
Ye Tian's voice seemed to have magic power, attracting the attention of everyone present. Wherever he explained, people's eyes would turn.
Even people's minds are attracted by his clear voice, and they can enjoy the wonderful artistic conception created by this masterpiece and experience the great charm of art.
While appreciating and explaining this famous painting, Ye Tian did not forget to secretly turn on the perspective and thoroughly look through this top-notch work of art. Maybe he would make surprising discoveries.
But unfortunately, there were no surprising discoveries. He only saw the creation process of this masterpiece and how Botticelli unleashed his genius.
After a few minutes, Ye Tian's explanation finally came to an end.
"..., everything Botticelli showed in this painting is extremely creative. Regardless of the limitations of the times, even now, his superb techniques are unmatched by anyone.
The work "Spring" is a technical victory in painting, with its exquisite layout and brushstrokes, superb painting techniques, extremely beautiful human body, and difficult composition.
All of this reflects the artistic level of Botticelli's genius. Once this painting was published, it immediately caused a huge sensation and became one of the most outstanding works of the early Renaissance.
This is a work depicting spring, and it is also a war song praising the victory of Venus' love. I feel honored to be able to appreciate and explain this great painting here today."
After the words fell, the scene immediately became quiet, but everyone was still staring at the famous painting in front of them, still fascinated.
After a while, people gradually woke up.
"Pa bang bang"
The applause started to ring out. At first, only three or five people were applauding, but soon everyone in the room started applauding, which was extremely enthusiastic.
Everyone gave Ye Tian their own applause, applauded his professional and vivid explanation, and also gave their own applause to this Botticelli's pinnacle work.
At this moment, the people on the scene felt that their perception of Ye Tian had greatly improved.
Although Steven is ruthless and unyielding, he will cause a series of troubles wherever he goes and loot the local antique art market.
However, he is indeed the top expert in the field of antique art appraisal and collection. He has extremely solid professional knowledge and profound skills. It seems that there is nothing he does not understand.
You can’t help but admire such a guy.
Next, Ye Tian and the others admired this top-notch work of art for a while, and then reluctantly walked away to appreciate other top-notch works of art displayed in this exhibition hall.
Ten minutes later, they came to another treasure of the Uffizi Gallery and began to appreciate this famous painting.
This is another peak work of the art master Botticelli in his mature period, "The Birth of Venus", which is also displayed in this exhibition hall.
Like the previous "Spring", this "Birth of Venus" is also an tempera painting, with a relatively smaller size, 175 cm high and 287 cm wide.
Similarly, this famous painting was also ordered by the Medici family from Botticelli. It was created in 1487, a few years later than "Primavera".
What this painting represents is a beautiful legend from Sicily:
On the sparkling Aegean Sea, countless beautiful petals fall from the sky, and the naked Venus stands slightly delicate and weak on a large shell.
She slightly bent her right leg and tilted her body slightly to the right. Her long golden hair was gently blown away by the sea breeze. Her skin was smooth and translucent, and her beautiful face showed some faint confusion.
Those innocent eyes were shrouded in a kind of melancholy and sadness, showing her helplessness and confusion when she just came into this world.
Perhaps intentionally, the neck and hands of Venus in Botticelli's paintings appear longer, but this adds to her elegance and charm.
In the upper left corner of the screen, the winged wind **** Severus is puffing up his lips to slowly blow Venus standing on the shell to the shore.
On the shore, the goddess of spring, who came to greet Venus, was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was about to put a red cloak studded with flowers on her naked body.
The whole painting has bright and harmonious tones. It does not use light and dark to express the human body shape. Instead, it uses contour lines to give the characters a relief-like feeling. The picture is beautiful and has a strong decorative effect.
In this famous painting, Botticelli used his brush to reflect a Neoplatonist philosophical trend that was popular in Florence at the time:
"Beauty cannot be gradually perfected or arise from non-beauty. Beauty can only be self-completed. It is incomparable. Beauty is eternal and immortal"
After standing in front of the painting and quietly admiring it for a while, Ye Tian began to explain so that Betty and the others could better appreciate this famous and top-notch work of art.
“To appreciate this famous painting, you must understand something about the birth of Venus. In ancient Greek mythology, Venus was born in the Aegean Sea and was born as a girl.
She was born perfect. She neither had to experience an ignorant childhood nor face the approaching old age of death. She remained young and beautiful forever. She is a symbol of the eternal beauty pursued by human beings.
What Botticelli depicts in this painting is the birth process of Venus, the **** of love and beauty. The huge shell she steps on symbolizes the source of Venus's birth.
The painting is based on the work "Giostena" written by Policiano, a famous poet at the time. It was inspired by this long poem that Botticelli created this painting... "
During the explanation process, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective again, looked at this famous painting, and explored whether there were any secrets hidden under the picture.
As far as he could see, this painting was clearly visible from the outside to the inside, and every detail was clearly presented in his eyes, without missing a single detail.
Even the painting panels at the back, the wall, and even the exhibition hall on the other side of the wall, as well as the paintings displayed in that exhibition hall and the people visiting it, were instantly seen by him.
It is a pity that he only saw the creation process of this top-notch work of art and Botticelli's amazing talent, but he did not discover any hidden secrets.
The only discovery is Botticelli's Latin signature, hidden in the wings of Aeolus. This discovery has no meaning.
Because everyone in the world knows that this "Birth of Venus" is the pinnacle of Botticelli's mature period and one of his two most famous paintings.
Finding nothing, Ye Tian could only retract his gaze, end the fluoroscopy, and continue his professional and precise explanation.
"The Venus in Botticelli's paintings is obviously influenced by the image of Venus in ancient Greek sculptures. From the body to the gestures, there are traces of imitating the Capitoline Venus.
This kind of Venus lacks the beauty and elegance of classical statues. It is precisely this shape and the character's modality that actually became Botticelli's unique artistic style..."
