The scene was completely quiet, everyone was listening to these ancient and wonderful stories, and were deeply attracted by them!
Under the spotlight, Ye Tian still spoke eloquently and continued his performance.
"In 1496, Giovanni Medici, a handsome man from the Medici family in Florence, came to Forlì to visit Caterina as the ambassador of Florence. The two fell in love at first sight and got married.
The union of the two of them has been recognized by all parties, including the children of Ludovic and Caterina. This marriage can be regarded as a political marriage between the Sforza family of Milan and the Medici family of Florence!
Soon after the marriage, Louis XII began to attack Italy, and soon conquered Milan, driving away Ludovic. As a member of the Sforza family, Caterina led her army to fight against the French. .
At that time, Italy was not unified. It was composed of city-states of varying sizes, and these city-states fought independently and were unable to resist the French attack. Many of them even chose to surrender.
Only Catalina, after many of her men surrendered and Forlì and Imola fell into the hands of the French, still led a few of her men to stay in the isolated city and stubbornly resisted the French attack.
Caterina's lonely fight against the French invaders won her great fame and the respect and support of almost all Italians. People called her an Italian heroine and sang about her everywhere.
Many Italian poets at that time recorded and praised Caterina's heroic deeds in their works. The historian Machiavelli recorded many such poems, which are still circulating today! ”
"Pa bang bang"
A burst of warm applause suddenly broke out at the scene, interrupting Ye Tian's performance.
It was Italians like Giovanni who applauded. They gave warm applause and bursts of cheers to the legendary heroine of their country. Everyone was honored!
The situation in front of the live broadcast was the same. Many Italians who still insisted on watching the live broadcast were applauding and cheering loudly!
When the scene became quieter, Ye Tian's voice came out again!
“Due to the huge disparity in strength, after fighting alone for several months, the castle where Caterina was trapped was still breached by the French with cannons. She was also captured by the French and taken to Rome and imprisoned.
Even though she was imprisoned, Caterina did not give up the fight. Because the then Pope deprived Caterina of her power over the fief, during a correspondence, she attempted to assassinate the then Pope with poison.
Of course, the assassination was not successful. The poison Catalina put in the letter was discovered by the Pope's guards, and the Pope escaped. In the history books, the record of this assassination is not clear!
It was not until 1501 that Caterina was released after paying a huge ransom, and then returned to her third husband's hometown, Florence, where her children were waiting for her.
After returning to Florence, Caterina calmed down until she died of pneumonia in 1509! The "Caterina" collected in the Uffizi Gallery was painted during this period!
What I didn’t expect was that before that, Leonardo da Vinci actually painted a portrait of Caterina and hid it here, but this is normal, Caterina is a member of the Sforza family after all !
Because of Catalina's special status, she has always had a high status in the Sforza family. Even though she has been married several times, she has always maintained close contact with the Sforza family and assisted each other politically and militarily!
From this point of view, it is normal for Leonardo da Vinci, a painter at the court of Milan, to paint a personal portrait of Caterina. It was only because of the French attack that the painting was hidden. got up.
By extension, the personal portraits Leonardo da Vinci created for members of the Sforza family are probably not just this "Caterina", but there must be portraits of other family members, such as Ludovic Sforza. !
Ludovic was Leonardo da Vinci’s biggest financial backer and supporter, and also his best friend. It was reasonable and reasonable for Da Vinci to create a personal portrait of Ludovic to commemorate this profound period. friendship.
In addition, would Ludovic's wife, two sons, several daughters, and other members of the Sforza family also have a personal portrait created by Leonardo da Vinci? The possibility seems high!
When the French attacked Milan, where would Ludovic and Leonardo hide these personal portraits if they could not take away these personal belongings? Could they be just the paintings in this box? ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to several oil paintings in the wooden box in front of him, his eyes full of anticipation.
Looking at David and Bishop Kent, as well as Giovanni and representatives from all parties, as well as the experts and scholars who were at the scene, they were all completely stunned by Ye Tian’s words, and they were all dumbfounded. land!
Not only them, but countless viewers in front of the live broadcast also behaved the same way at this time. They were all stunned, and their eyes were so round that they almost flew out of their eye sockets!
The oil paintings contained in this box are all works by Leonardo da Vinci, and are they all personal portraits of members of the Sforza family? How can this be? It's crazy!
Just when people were stunned, Ye Tian's clear voice came out again and reached everyone's ears.
"Whether my guess is correct or not, just take out the oil paintings in this box and take a look, and the answer will be revealed! I hope these oil paintings are all works of Leonardo da Vinci, that would be perfect!"
With his words, people were immediately awakened!
The next moment, the scene and countless live broadcasts exploded. Everyone held their heads and screamed crazily!
"Oh my God! How is this possible? These oil paintings in the box are all works of Leonardo da Vinci. This idea is so crazy!"
"Wow! If this guy Steven's guess is correct, then there is no doubt that this is definitely the greatest discovery in the history of Western art!"
Just when people were exclaiming, Ye Tian had already begun to collect this priceless "Caterina".
He re-covered the top-notch oil painting in linen and, with the help of David and company employees, put it into a large painting bag!
Looking at his actions, everyone at the scene and on the live broadcast was full of reluctance, and they were extremely envious, even jealous to the point of going crazy!
However, no one stopped Ye Tian!
Compared with this Da Vinci painting that has been released, everyone wants to know whether the other oil paintings in the box are Da Vinci's works?
If they are really the works of Leonardo da Vinci, it would definitely be an earth-shattering discovery!
As for appreciating and studying this "Caterina", you can push it back. Anyway, there is still opportunity and time. This top-notch oil painting by Leonardo da Vinci will not have wings to fly. !
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Tian and David took out another oil painting from the box, and then began to carefully dismantle it!
A few minutes later, the several layers of moisture-proof oilcloth wrapped around the oil painting and the inner layer of linen were uncovered by Ye Tian one after another!
What appeared immediately before everyone’s eyes was another personal portrait painted using the ‘fade-out method’, and the painting technique was extremely superb! In the painting is an Italian man about twenty years old!
The moment they saw this personal portrait, everyone was stunned, their eyes full of madness!
The scene immediately became quiet and there was no sound.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that a lost voice murmured to himself, finally breaking the tranquility!
"Oh God! Am I not dazzled? This is a personal portrait of Ludovic's eldest son Maximilian, and more importantly, this is another work of Leonardo da Vinci!
Is Steven’s speculation true? Are the several oil paintings contained in this box all personal portraits of members of the Sforza family? This is absolutely crazy! ”
