Chapter 1685: Eternal Beauty

"Spring, an encyclopedia of flowers, is an encyclopedia of flowers, in which Botticelli paints more than 500 flowers of more than 170 varieties.

Without exception, every flower on this painting is exquisitely carved and blooming beautifully in the spring breeze, so delicate and perfect that it is pleasing to the eye,......"

Ye Tian continued to explain this pinnacle of Botticelli's work, which is professional and accurate, and very vivid.

At this time, many visitors had gathered in front of this famous painting.

While admiring the spring-filled and humanist painting in front of them, everyone listened to Ye Tian's explanation, and everyone had a fascinated expression.

Many other tourists who were visiting the Uffizi Gallery heard that Ye Tian was giving a public lecture on Botticelli's "Spring" here, and they rushed over and joined the crowd of listeners.

For them, it is an opportunity to listen to the professional explanations of the top antique art appraisal experts, so how can they miss it?

The explanation continued, and Ye Tianqing's voice echoed in the Florentine showroom in the fifteenth century, and continued to reach people's ears.

"In terms of the treatment of the human figure, Botticelli's treatment of the three goddesses of beauty can be said to be unprecedented, because before him, there had never been such a sensual female body.

However, some people believe that the reason why the three goddesses of Meihui can be so unclothed is because they are goddesses, and the feeling that the goddess brings to people is a kind of pleasure without evil thoughts,......"

Ye Tian's voice seemed to have magical power, pulling the eyes of everyone at the scene, and wherever he explained, people's eyes would look.

Even people's hearts are drawn by his clear voice, and they swim freely in the wonderful artistic conception created by this magnificent work, and experience the great charm of art.

In the process of appreciating and explaining this famous painting, Ye Tian did not forget to secretly open the perspective, and thoroughly see this top artwork, maybe there will be surprising discoveries.

Unfortunately, there were no surprises, only the process of creating this masterpiece and how Botticelli unleashed his genius.

A few minutes later, Ye Tian's explanation finally came to an end.

“...... What Botticelli has shown in this painting is extremely creative, and despite the limitations of his time, even now, his mastery is unsurpassed.

"Spring" is a triumph of painting technique, with its exquisite layout and brushstrokes, superb painting techniques, extremely aesthetic human body, and composition that is quite difficult to grasp.

All of this is a testament to the artistic genius of Botticelli, which became an instant sensation and became one of the most outstanding works of the early Renaissance.

It is a work of spring and a battle song of the victory of Venus's love, and I am honored to be here today to admire and explain this great painting."

When the words fell, the scene immediately fell silent, but everyone was still staring at the famous painting in front of them, still full of fascination.

It took a moment for people to come to their senses.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Applause began to ring, at first only sporadic three or five people were applauding, but soon everyone in the audience began to applaud, extremely enthusiastic.

Everyone gave Ye Tian their own applause, applauded his professional and vivid explanation, and also gave their own applause to this pinnacle of Botticelli.

At this moment, the perception of Ye Tian by these people on the scene has been greatly improved.

Steven, though ruthless and retributive, will cause a series of incidents 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, and his professional knowledge is extremely solid and profound, and there seems to be nothing he does not understand.

Such a guy, you can't admire it.

Next, Ye Tian and the others admired this top-level artwork for a while, and then reluctantly walked away to appreciate the other top-notch artworks displayed in this exhibition hall.

Ten minutes later, they arrived in front of another treasure of the Uffizi Gallery and began to admire this famous painting.

This is another masterpiece of the master Botticelli's maturity, "The Birth of Venus", which is also displayed in this exhibition hall.

Like the previous "Spring", this "Birth of Venus" is also a tempera painting, with a relatively small size, 175 cm high and 287 cm wide.

Similarly, this famous painting was commissioned by the Medici family to Botticelli and was created in 1487, a few years after the Spring.

The content of this painting is a beautiful legend of Sicily:

On the sparkling Aegean Sea, countless beautiful petals fall from the sky, and the fruit-like Venus stands slightly delicate and feeble on a large shell.

She bent her right leg slightly, her body tilted slightly to the right, her long golden hair was gently blown away by the sea breeze, her skin was smooth and clear, and her beautiful face showed a faint confusion.

Those innocent eyes were shrouded in a veined melancholy and grievance, showing the helplessness and confusion she had just come to this world.

Perhaps intentionally, Botticelli's Venus has a longer neck and hands, but this adds to her elegance and charm.

In the upper left of the picture, the winged anemo god Sephyoros puffs out his lips to blow Venus standing on a shell towards the shore.

On the shore, the goddess of spring, who had come to greet Venus, dressed in splendid costumes, was about to drape a red cloak decorated with flowers over her naked body.

The tone of the whole painting is bright and harmonious, and it does not use light and shade to express the human body, but chooses contour lines to make the figures present a relief-like feeling, and the picture is beautiful and rich in strong decorative effects.

In this famous painting, Botticelli, through his brush, embodies a Neo-Platonist philosophical trend that was popular in Florence at the time:

"Beauty cannot be gradually perfected or produced from non-beauty, beauty can only be self-fulfilled, it is incomparable, beauty is immortal and eternal"

Standing in front of the painting and admiring it quietly for a while, Ye Tian began to explain, so that Betty and the others could better appreciate this famous and top-notch artwork.

"To appreciate this famous painting, it is necessary to understand the birth of Venus, which in ancient Greek mythology was born in the Aegean Sea and was born as a maiden.

She was born perfect, neither had to go through an ignorant childhood, nor did she have to face the twilight of her approaching death, she remained young and beautiful, she is a symbol of the eternal beauty that human beings pursue,

Botticelli's painting depicts the birth of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, and the huge shell under her feet symbolizes the origin of Venus.

The painting is based on the famous poet of the time, Policiano's "Giostena", and it was from this long poem that Botticelli was inspired to create this painting,......"

During the explanation, Ye Tian secretly opened the perspective again, looked at this famous painting, and explored whether there were any secrets hidden under the picture.

As far as the eye can see, every detail of this painting is clearly presented in his eyes, from the surface to the inside, and nothing is missing.

Even the painting boards at the back, the walls, 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 who were visiting, were instantly seen through by him.

Unfortunately, he only saw the process of creating this top work of art, and saw Botticelli's incredible talent, but he did not discover any hidden secrets.

The only discovery, the Latin signature of Botticelli, hidden in the wings of the god of wind, makes no sense.

Because everyone in the world knows that "The Birth of Venus", the pinnacle of Botticelli's maturity, is one of his two most famous paintings.

Finding nothing, Ye Tian could only retract his gaze, end the perspective, and continue his professional and accurate explanation.

"Botticelli's Venus is clearly influenced by the image of Venus in ancient Greek sculpture, from posture to gestures, there are traces of imitation of Capitoline Venus.

This kind of Venus lacks the fitness and elegance of classical statues, and it is precisely this shape and character that has actually become Botticelli's unique artistic style,......"
