Chapter 1686: Leonardo da Vinci's Unfinished Works
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, the Uffizi Gallery Northern Painters Showroom.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others were standing in front of Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters of Renaissance art and the famous art master Leonardo da Vinci, admiring this treasure of the Uffizi Gallery.
"The Three Wise Men Come to the Dynasty" is an oil painting created by Leonardo da Vinci in 1481, which is very large, about 2.5 meters high and about 2.5 meters wide, and is an unfinished work.
The reason why it is said to be unfinished is because at the time of the creation of this painting, Leonardo da Vinci left Florence halfway through and went to Milan, leaving the unfinished painting in Florence.
Even so, the artistic value of this painting is extraordinary, it has a very important place in the history of Western art, and it is shrouded in a lot of mystery.
This has fascinated countless experts, scholars, and art lovers in the industry, who have studied the painting for many years, trying to unravel the mystery that shrouds the painting.
"The Three Wise Men Come to the Pilgrimage" is based on the story of the three wise men of the East who came to worship at the time of the birth of Jesus in the Bible, and has a very strong religious color.
In this unfinished work, Leonardo da Vinci does not simply list the characters from a narrative point of view, but shows his artistic innovation in a sharply contrasting composition and figurative expression.
Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna, Infant and the three Oriental Doctors form a stable triangular composition, while the surrounding crowd is surrounded by excited gestures, like a whirlpool of crowds.
The architectural ruins drawn in precise perspective on the background and the galloping horse caravan also form a strong contrast.
In his depictions of the foreground figures, especially the onlookers, Leonardo da Vinci opted for a dark palette that allowed the figures to emerge from the shadows, in contrast to the explicit nature of 15th-century paintings.
This artistic expression is Da Vinci's original smoky tone.
Everyone stood in front of the painting and admired it quietly for a minute or two, and then Anderson whispered in confusion:
"Steven, let me explain this famous painting, I know the story of the three wise men coming to court in the Bible, but to be honest, I can't understand this painting by Leonardo da Vinci"
As soon as his words fell, Betty immediately nodded and said:
"I'm the same, the story of the three wise men coming to the dynasty is not unfamiliar, but this painting by Leonardo da Vinci gives me a feeling of being in the clouds, and I can't see through it!"
The other people on the scene were the same, they basically couldn't understand this famous painting, they all looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his professional explanation.
Ye Tian turned his head to look at his wife, glanced at the crowd at the scene again, and then said aloud with a smile:
"It's normal that you can't see through this painting of "The Three Wise Men", if you can see through this painting and lift the fog that hangs over this painting, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.
Over the past 500 years, countless painters, critics, antique art experts, and art lovers have studied this painting in depth, but no one dares to say that they can see it through."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but be stunned.
"Wow, people haven't studied the secret of this painting for more than 500 years, could it be that this painting is also related to the famous Da Vinci code?"
"Leonardo da Vinci seems to be very fond of doing such things, hiding secrets in his paintings, and the famous "Mona Lisa" has many unsolved mysteries, and this "Three Wise Men Come to Dynasty" is actually the same!"
In the midst of heated discussions, people are more interested in Leonardo da Vinci's outstanding painting, and they are also full of expectations for Ye Tian's next professional explanation.
When the voice at the scene fell slightly, Ye Tian immediately continued:
"You guessed it right, this "Three Wise Men" is also related to the famous Da Vinci code, but it is different from the Mona Lisa, and the secrets hidden on it are also different.
Next, I will explain to you this mysterious painting by Leonardo da Vinci, and with my observation and understanding, I will try to decipher the fog that shrouds this famous painting.
"Bang Bang Bang"
There was a warm applause at the scene, everyone was applauding for Ye Tian, and everyone was full of interest and expectation.
The applause fell, and Ye Tianqing's voice came out immediately.
"The Three Wise Men Come to Court" is an oil painting by Leonardo da Vinci in 1481, but he was unable to complete the painting because he was going to Milan, so he left it in Florence.
Leonardo da Vinci was only twenty-nine years old when he created this painting, and it was the first major painting of his life, and it is a treasure among the fifteen Da Vinci works in existence.
Although this is an unfinished work, it marks the maturity of Leonardo da Vinci's artistic style, and the artistic creativity he has shown in this painting far exceeds that of his teachers and peers.
His dark-toned painting style makes the figure stand out from the shadow, breaking through the clear and revealing characteristics of traditional painting, and the birth of this painting heralds the arrival of the Renaissance style.
Through this unfinished masterpiece, one can gain a deeper understanding of Leonardo da Vinci's psychology, his way of working, and his treatment of the various symbols of Christianity and the imagery of the Florentine tradition.
In this painting, we can also see his extraordinary sensitivity to force theory and vortex movement, which is one of the reasons that distinguishes him from other painters of his time, and is his genius.
In addition, the painting reveals other information, on the far right of the painting, stands a tall young man in a robe, almost certainly, it is about 29 years old. Vinci Self-Portrait"
As he spoke, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to the right side of the famous painting in front of him, pointing out the figure on the canvas that was not very clear.
With the direction of his finger, everyone in the scene looked there and soon saw the young man on the canvas.
"Hey, there's a tall young man there, Da Vinci used to look like that when he was young!"
"Really, it's a bit of a secret, although many people know it."
There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone was discussing it with great interest.
After a pause, Ye Tianqing's voice came out again, immediately covering all the voices on the scene.
"The coming of the Three Wise Men is one of the most frequent themes in Renaissance painting, and there are many paintings on this theme when the Three Wise Men of the East came to Bethlehem to pay homage to the newborn Christ.
Reach?? In this painting, Vinci expresses all the traditional elements of the subject, but in his treatment of group portraits, he is very different from the paintings of the same name by other artists.
The figures in this painting are not on the road, but in a stormy whirlpool, and there are more than 60 figures of people and animals combined, each with its own characteristics and no resemblance.
In its unfinished vague form, the multitude of images is confusing, and the group of pilgrims, with their reverence and curiosity, looks like a rabble.
The crowd gathered around the Virgin and Child, and although the Virgin and Child were the center, the surrounding crowd made it seem that the Virgin and Child were weak, as if something was about to swallow them.
This threatening whirlpool of people not only represents the symbolic gift given by the third doctor of the East, but also foreshadows the future of this child, which must be extraordinary,......"
Ye Tianqing's voice continued to come out, echoing in the Northern Painters' Showroom and reaching the ears of every visitor at the scene.
While admiring the famous painting in front of them, people listened to Ye Tian's explanation, and everyone's minds were unconsciously brought into this painting by him.
At the same time of introducing and explaining, Ye Tian had opened the perspective again and looked at Leonardo da Vinci's "Three Wise Men Come to the Dynasty".
This was one of the main reasons he came to visit the Uffizi Gallery to see if he could find something out of Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting.
Earlier at the Louvre in Paris, he found some mysterious characters in the Mona Lisa and Madonna of the Rocks, as well as the Fibonacci sequence, and maybe this painting can be found as well.
