The strongest door-to-door son-in-law

Chapter 1262 Mona Lisa's Smile

On August 1793, 8, the Louvre Museum of Art officially opened to the public and became a museum.

The Louvre Museum houses the Venus de Milo statue, the Mona Lisa oil painting and the stone sculpture of the Goddess of Victory, known as the three treasures of the world.

It has an art collection of more than 40 pieces, including sculptures, paintings, arts and crafts, ancient Oriental, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and ancient Rome.

From the artworks of ancient Egypt, Greece, Etruria, Rome, to the artworks of oriental countries, there are sculptures from the Middle Ages to modern times, as well as a surprising number of royal curios and fine paintings.

The Louvre has become a world-renowned art palace, one of the largest art treasure houses, and a palace of all treasures that has attracted worldwide attention.

After entering the Louvre, Ye Feng first followed the signs to see the statue of Venus de Milo.

The statue of Venus de Milo is very famous in the world. It is a marble sculpture. It is said that it was carved by Alexandros of ancient Greece between 150 BC and 50 BC.

The statue was discovered in February 1820 next to the ruins of an ancient tomb on the Greek island of Milos in the Aegean Sea. It is a sculpture with incomplete arms.

It is a half-naked full-length figure with a handsome face and a well-proportioned figure. The clothes fall down to the hips.

Although her right arm is missing, it still shows the unique curvy beauty of women, making her look dignified and charming.

After being purchased with a lot of money from France, it was displayed in a special exhibition room of the Louvre Museum, shocking the world with its unique charm.Since then, Venus de Milo has become famous all over the world and has become a symbol of love and beauty.

Venus is the goddess of love and beauty in Roman mythology, as well as the goddess of fertility.

In ancient Greek mythology, it was called Aphrodite, and in Roman mythology, it was called Venus.

She governs human love, marriage, fertility and the growth and reproduction of all animals and plants.Born in the sea, it is famous for its beauty.

Legend has it that she was born in the foam of the sea. Accompanied by three goddesses of time and three goddesses of grace, she came to Mount Olympus. The gods were attracted by her beautiful appearance and wooed her one after another.

After being rejected by Zeus, he married her to the ugly and lame God of Fire Hephaestus, but she fell in love with Ares, the God of War, and gave birth to the little Eros, the God of Love.

Later, he helped Prince Paris of Troy kidnap Helen, the wife of King Menelao of Sparta and the most beautiful woman in Greece.

This incident led to the Greek expedition to Troy and the Ten Years' War.

It is very accidental that "Venus" can be collected in the Louvre.

In 1820, a farmer on the Greek Aegean Sea island of Milo discovered a goddess of beauty while digging.

The news came out that there happened to be a French warship anchored in Port Milo. The captain rushed to the scene immediately after learning the news and wanted to buy it, but he had no cash.

As a result, "Venus" was bought by a Greek merchant and prepared to be shipped to Constantinople.

Seeing that the treasure was about to be lost, the French were unwilling to accept it and immediately went to stop it with a destroyer.

A scuffle ensued, resulting in damage to the treasures and the broken arms of the statue.

The two sides had a dispute, which was later resolved by the local authorities in Milo. The French used money to buy the statue and donate it to the French king.

In this way, "Venus" was transported to France and immediately caused a sensation at the time.

After visiting Venus de Milo, Ye Feng went to see the Goddess of Victory, the second of the three treasures.

The head and arms of Victory are missing, but it is still considered a famous masterpiece of ancient Greek sculpture.No matter from which angle, viewers can see and feel the majestic appearance of the goddess of victory spreading her wings.

Her upper body is slightly leaning forward. Her strong, plump and graceful body, and her strong and huge wings flying high, fully reflect the majestic appearance of the winner and the passion of cheering for victory.

The sea breeze seemed to be blowing from her front, and the thin clothes faintly revealed the goddess's plump and elastic body. The texture of the dress and the carvings of the folds were breathtaking.

The flowing back corners of the clothes and the unfolded wings form extremely smooth lines, while the wavy lines of the legs and wings form an obtuse triangle, strengthening the forward posture.

The next step is to visit the last of the three treasures - the Mona Lisa. This is what Ye Feng is most interested in. It comes from the smile of the Mona Lisa that he has heard about for a long time.

Among all paintings, the most outstanding and most eye-catching is naturally the immortal masterpiece completed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1503 - Mona Lisa.

The Mona Lisa is placed in a hall in the middle of the second floor of the Louvre and is embedded in the wall. It is obviously for special protection.

The soft light emitted around the glass cover is enough to allow the audience to see every detail of the picture clearly.

"Mona Lisa", also known as "Eternal Smile", is considered to be the first work in the history of Western European painting that focuses on psychological description.

It represents Leonardo da Vinci's highest artistic achievement and successfully created the image of an urban proletarian woman during the rise of capitalism.

The characters in the painting sit elegantly with subtle smiles, and the mountains and rivers in the background are deep and vast, which fully demonstrates the artist's unique smoke-like "air perspective" brushwork.

The painter strives to achieve a clever combination of the characters' rich inner emotions and beautiful appearance.

For the key parts of the face that express emotions, such as the corners of the eyes and lips, special emphasis is placed on mastering the dialectical relationship between precision and implicitness to achieve a state of charm, thus giving Mona Lisa's smile a mysterious and everlasting charm.

That dreamy and charming smile has been called a "mysterious smile" by many art historians.

What's even more amazing is that in front of this famous painting, no matter which angle you look at it from, her gentle eyes are always looking at you with a smile, so vivid and vivid, as if she is right next to you.

It wasn't until the evening that Ye Feng walked out of the Louvre. Although he didn't have much artistic talent, he was still greatly influenced by this trip.

At the same time, Ye Feng still felt a lot of regret in his heart, because many of the treasures in the Louvre came from China, but I am afraid they will never be able to go back.

The street lights on the road were already on, and Ye Feng was walking in an alley, looking for a snack bar to appease his stomach.

The alleyway was relatively deserted. Not long after walking, Ye Feng frowned and stopped.

He looked up and saw four young men coming out of nowhere. They were holding daggers in their hands and dressed in shabby clothes. At a glance, they knew they were ruffians on the street.

Ye Feng smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing on his first day in Paris. He was really not very lucky.

"Chinese? Korean? Japanese?" One of the gangsters asked Ye Feng's nationality in simple English with a ferocious expression on his face.

Ye Feng's expression did not change and he replied: "Chinese!"

"Give me the money!" Another gangster actually said a sentence in Chinese, but it seemed very stiff.

Ye Feng held back his laughter, shook his head and replied in Chinese: "No money!"
