"Compared to other famous sculptures of the Hellenistic period, the Statue of Victory is a very original concept, and its base is designed to resemble the bow of a warship, and the goddess of victory seems to fall from the sky and fall on the bow of the ship.

Under the guidance of the goddess of victory, the fleet rushed forward with the wind and waves, and the whole concept both showed the background of the naval battle and conveyed the theme of victory, with a very obvious romantic art style.

The dynamic structure of the statue is perfect and vivid, the carving is highly skillful, the form has shifted to secularization, drama and personification of the image, and is characterized by the conveyance of the power of the human psyche and passion,......"

Ye Tian was explaining this famous sculpture to all the visitors at the scene, still very professional and vivid, and his clear voice resounded through the Samothrace staircase.

At this time, the important staircase leading from the first floor to the second floor of this Denong Pavilion has been blocked by dozens or hundreds of visitors.

The stairs up and down the two directions were full of visitors listening to Ye Tian's explanation, and everyone had a fascinated expression, and they were reluctant to leave at all.

Those who are on the second floor and are about to return to the first floor can only stop at the staircase, and those who want to visit the second floor on the first floor are also blocked at the staircase and cannot go up at all!

They only had two choices, either to listen to Ye Tian's explanation here, wait for the crowd to disperse, and then go upstairs or downstairs, or take a detour.

The Louvre staff, who were also at the scene, could only smile helplessly when they saw this situation, and there was no other way.

Fortunately, there is only a statue of the Goddess of Victory on the stairs of Samothrace, even if Ye Tian explains it very carefully, it won't take long.

Five or six minutes later, Ye Tian finished the explanation and ended the morning visit.

Unsurprisingly, when his voice fell, the scene immediately erupted in a thunderous applause, very warm, from all the visitors at the scene.

In the midst of this enthusiastic applause, Ye Tian and Betty, escorted by Matisse and others, walked through the crowd on the stairs and arrived at the hall on the first floor of the Denong Pavilion.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Ye Tian saw several familiar faces, Martinez, the director of the Louvre Museum, and several high-level and well-known antique art appraisal experts of the Louvre.

"Good afternoon, Steven, welcome to France and welcome to the Louvre Museum, your explanation is so professional, the best I have ever heard, breathtaking!

It seems that the legend is true, you are an all-rounder in the field of antique art! There is nothing you don't understand, how about it, are you interested in coming to the Louvre as a professional docent!"

As he spoke, Martinez stepped forward and shook Ye Tian's hand, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Ye Tian stretched out his right hand and shook the old friend, then said with a smile:

"Good afternoon, Martinez, it's a pleasure to meet you, I said before in Antwerp that we'll meet again soon, and sure enough, it's only been a few days.

The Louvre is amazing! The artworks on display here are simply beautiful and wonderful! It is the first museum in the world, and it is a sea of art.

I love the Louvre, and I want to live here permanently, to look at every piece of art and swim in the ocean of art, but it's just a dream.

During the visit, I explained the artworks to Betty and the others, and I didn't expect to attract so many visitors.

It's not impossible for me to come to the Louvre as a professional docent, as long as the Louvre is paid for the top works of art, I'm more than happy to accept this new profession!"

"Reward for top-notch art? How dare you think you're as greedy as ever! Forget it, we can't afford a god like you in the Louvre! I believe no museum can afford it!"

Martinez said angrily, his eyes full of jealousy.

Next, Ye Tian said hello to several other Louvre high-level executives and antique art appraisal experts, and behaved very decently.

After shaking hands one by one and greeting each other, Ye Tian turned to Martinez again, smiled and asked in a low voice:

"Martinez, have you made a decision? accept my offer to exchange the collections of the Louvre and the Musée Guimet for the jewels that once belonged to Queen Mary.

To be honest, I'm really looking forward to hearing the good news, and I'm really looking forward to stepping into the warehouses of the Louvre and the Musée Guimet to see for myself the antique Chinese artworks stored in the warehouses of the two museums.

As far as I know, both the Louvre and the Musée Guimet Asian Art display only a small part of the collection of Chinese antiques, and most of the antique artworks have not seen the light of day all year round.

Instead of letting those valuable Chinese antique artworks that represent ancient civilizations gradually decay and decay in the warehouse, why don't you think about it, accept my conditions, and exchange them with me!"

Hearing this, Martinez immediately fell silent, and a little excitement flashed in his eyes.

After a little groaning, he said a little helplessly:

"Steven, I might as well tell you here that I, for my part, am more inclined to accept your terms and exchange them with you for the finest jewels that are closely related to the French Revolution.

You're right, most of the Chinese antiques in the Louvre's collection don't have the opportunity to be displayed publicly, and some of them have even been in warehouses for more than a hundred years and have never been exhibited!

Let them be buried in the warehouse, a little bit broken and rotten, it is indeed better to take them out and exchange, of course, there is also a premise here, that is, you can't open your mouth and ask for a price!

It's a pity that this is not something I can say in one word, and the biggest obstacle to the exchange comes from the Guimet Museum, especially when it comes to the treasure of the Guimet Museum, the bronze elephant!"

"Martinez, it's already a pleasant surprise that you can agree to the exchange, and as for the Guimet Museum, it's normal for there to be resistance, it's all in my expectation!

If the exchange goes smoothly, it is not surprising that the jewels that once belonged to Queen Mary will be on public display at the Louvre, and the Musée Guimet will not get anything.

Under such circumstances, how could the Musée Guimet be happy? Even if the Musée Guimet is a branch of the Louvre, it is not willing to suffer this dumb loss.

If you want to break this deadlock, it's up to you at the Louvre to do it, and I'm sure you'll be able to find a solution to the problem, such as giving the Guimet Museum a few top antique artworks.

I hope you will decide as soon as possible, otherwise, you will probably be preempted by the Château de Fontainebleau, and to be honest, I am also very interested in the Chinese antiques from the Old Summer Palace at the Château de Fontainebleau!"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, and recited the mantra to Martinez and the other Louvre high-level officials.

Hearing this, many people in the Louvre at the scene rolled their eyes angrily, and their expressions were a little nervous.

Martinez naturally did the same, and said helplessly:

"Steven, you guy is so greedy, it's clear that you're taking advantage of the fire to rob! We still have to stick out our heads and be slaughtered by this guy of yours, it's so unjust!

We will discuss this matter as soon as possible and make a decision as soon as possible, the meaning of those pieces of jewelry is so special that we at the Louvre absolutely do not want to miss it, and we do not want to be cut off by others.

Okay, so let's not talk about that, where do you go next? Do you want to continue your visit to the Louvre, or do you want to leave the museum and go back to the hotel? Or do you want to have lunch at a restaurant nearby?"

"We are going to eat in the lounge area of the Louvre, and then we will continue to visit, we have not visited the most famous gallery of the Louvre, how can we be willing to leave!

Martinez, this is your place, you know everything about the Louvre, what good restaurants are not available?

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his expression was very relaxed.

As soon as the words fell, Martinez continued:

"It's great that you're going to dine at the Louvre, there are a couple of very nice restaurants, I'll take you there for a French lunch!

It's a guest from afar, and there is a possibility of a deal between us, this lunch is ours, and we can talk about this deal again at lunchtime!

In addition, we would also like to hear your insights on antique art appraisal, and the art explanation I just heard is really wonderful!"

Afterwards, several Louvre executives took Ye Tian and them to the rest area, ready to go to lunch!
