At around half past eleven, after admiring the many top antique artworks displayed in the rest of the exhibition halls, Ye Tian and his party came to the door of the last exhibition hall of the Vatican Museums, ready to enter it.

This last pavilion is the famous Sistine Chapel, a great temple of painting.

The Sistine Chapel, founded in 1445, was initiated by the then Pope Sisturs IV, and the name of the church 'Sistine' is derived from the name of the pope at that time.

The church is just over 40 meters long, more than 13 meters wide, and about 18 meters high, and is built in the form of Solomon's temple described in the sixth chapter of Kings in scale (60:20:30).

In the eyes of all believers in Christianity in the Western world, the Sistine Chapel is extremely important and can be called a holy place!

Because this is not only the private scripture hall of the pope, but also the place where the ceremony of electing the pope is held.

In other words, since the church was built and designated as the site of the papal election ceremony, all popes have been elected from here, including the current pope.

From the outside, the Sistine Chapel is extremely simple, even modest, and far from the majestic St. Peter's Basilica so close that it is not far from the grandeur and majesty of St. Peter's Basilica.

However, the interior of the Sistine Chapel is gorgeous and dazzling, with intricate frescoes on the walls and ceiling, almost every one of which is priceless.

Two of the most famous murals are "Genesis" and "The Last Judgment" by Michelangelo, one of the three masters of Renaissance art and a top artist.

These two famous religious frescoes are two monuments of Michelangelo's painting art, and they are also the two most representative masterpieces of his life.

It was because Michelangelo wrote the Book of Genesis and The Last Judgment here that the Sistine Chapel became famous and became known to everyone!

In addition to Michelangelo's two masterpieces, there are also murals painted by Botticelli, Gillandio, Pell, and other top Renaissance artists, each of which is incomparably beautiful.

In addition, there is a world-famous top artwork that is also related to the Sistine Chapel, and it is named after the 'Sistine'.

That is "Sistine Madonna", one of the three masterpieces of Renaissance art and one of the two greatest works of the top artist Raphael, which is considered to be comparable to the "Mona Lisa".

The Sistine Madonna, an oil on canvas painting by Raphael around 1513, is the most outstanding representative of his 'Madonna' and one of the greatest works of art of the Renaissance!

Until 1573, the Sistine Madonna was preserved and displayed in the Sistine Chapel, hence the name!

Sadly, this masterpiece of Raphael was later lost here, and after several changes, it is now in the collection of the Dresden Museum in Germany, where it is the main jewel of the museum.

For art lovers, the Sistine Chapel is an artistic paradise and a must-see in Rome!

As a professional treasure hunter and a top expert in antique artworks, Ye Tian is naturally the same, and it is impossible to miss the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's two masterpieces.

Walking to the entrance of the Sistine Chapel, everyone saw at a glance the two columns at the door lined up far away, all of them were tourists from all over the world, waiting to enter the church!

Ye Tian raised his eyes and looked over there, and then whispered to the people around him:

"It is important to remember that after entering the Sistine Chapel, do not take out your mobile phone or camera to take pictures, as this is not allowed and will cause damage to the priceless treasures inside"

"See, Steven, we know what to do, just like we did when we saw Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, The Last Supper, in Milan."

Anderson continued, and the rest of the group nodded their heads one after another.

At the same time, many tourists who were waiting in line at the gate of the Sistine Chapel to enter the visit also discovered Ye Tian and them, and the scene immediately set off a commotion.

"Wow! That Steven guy has also come to visit the Sistine Chapel, if only I could go in with them and listen to his explanation!

Although I don't like this ruthless and greedy guy, I have to admit that he is indeed the top expert in antique art, and he is good at almost everything!

I listened to his explanation up close at the gallery just now, it was very professional, and extremely vivid and unforgettable, I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future."

"Man, don't even think about it, you don't look at where you are, the Sistine Chapel has a very limited number of visitors, and when it's your turn to enter, it will be an hour later.

Looking at the Vatican priests who accompanied Steven and them, it was obvious that Steven had a special treatment here, he didn't have to wait in line to visit, and he could enter the church at any time."

While speaking, Leonardo had already led Ye Tian and them into the VIP passage, and they were about to enter the Sistine Chapel.

Seeing this scene, the tourists who were waiting in line at the entrance of the church to enter the visit could not bear it and made a noise.

"Why don't Stevens have to go straight to the church without queuing?

"That's right, Steven, why are they privileged? They should be in line to enter like everyone else, that's fair, especially since Steven is an atheist."

Hearing these noises, Ye Tian immediately stopped and turned to look at the indignant tourists.

He had just put on a smile on his face, and before he could react, a high-ranking Vatican priest at the scene suddenly said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be indignant, let me explain that Mr. Steven has been invited to the Vatican, and he is a guest of our museum, and he is treated with special courtesy.

The reason why Mr. Steven has the special privilege of being able to enter the church without queuing is simple, because he has gifted us two priceless treasures to the museum.

That's Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Mourning Christ, and anyone who has visited our gallery will have seen those two top works of art.

That's why Mr. Steven has a special treat, and of course you can enjoy it as long as you donate two of these top works of art to our museum.

Even if the artwork you donate is not so outstanding and is not representative of the three masterpieces of Renaissance art, it doesn't matter if it is a little worse, you can still enjoy this privilege.

At that time, you can visit the Vatican Museums whenever you want, but you can enter at any time during opening hours, you don't have to wait in line, and this privilege is valid for life!"

Hearing these words, many tourists waiting in line to enter the church at the scene couldn't help but roll their eyes angrily, and they were also blocked with nothing to say, and their mood was somewhat depressed!

What are you kidding about donating two top-notch works of art, which are representative works of the three masters of Renaissance art? Who has such a big deal but that crazy guy like Steven? Who can afford it?

Thinking of this, for the special courtesy that Ye Tian and they enjoyed, everyone on the scene had nothing to say, this is what people deserve, and it is beyond reproach!

Ye Tian looked at the priest who had calmed down the argument with appreciation, and then shrugged his shoulders triumphantly and spread his hands to all the tourists at the scene, not to mention how much he was beaten in his expression and movements.

Immediately afterward, he turned around and walked into the Sistine Chapel with Betty, disappearing from the view of the many tourists outside the church door.

Behind him, an indignant curse immediately sounded.

"Fake! Steven, this bastard is so hateful, I really want to smash his hateful smile and vent my evil anger!"

"Who wouldn't, but who would?" 2k reading network
