In three or two steps, Ye Tian came to the front of Michelangelo's painting, stopped, and began to stop and admire.

As soon as he stood still, Martinez and the others followed him, standing side by side with him, looking at this top work of art that had disappeared for more than two hundred years.

In the next moment, this secret room, which was located more than ten or twenty meters underground, suddenly sounded an almost crazy exclamation, startling everyone.

"Oh my God! 'Mourning Christ', this is 'Mourning Christ'! It's incredible, I'm not dazzled, am I? Or am I dreaming?

Isn't "Mourning Christ" a sculpture by Michelangelo, which is housed in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, and is the most famous work of Michelangelo's early years.

In addition to the marble statue in St. Peter's Basilica, as far as I know, there is also a sketch of the Mourning Christ that has survived and is also in the Vatican.

But I've never heard of it, and there's an oil painting of "Mourning Christ", and if it's really Michelangelo's work, it's definitely a great discovery!"

Martinez said in despair, the whole person had fallen into a state of madness, his eyes were blood-red, staring at the painting in front of him, his eyes were burning hot!

Not only him, but countless people on the live broadcast end were completely stunned by this sudden appearance of classicist oil painting, and looked at this outstanding painting in amazement, their eyes full of incredible!

Some devout believers immediately got up from the couch or chair, bowed their heads and made a quick cross on their chests, and whispered prayers with words in their mouths!

In the Vatican, many religious people wearing clerical uniforms, like an electric shock, jumped up directly from the sofa and chair, looking at the live broadcast in amazement, and their eyes were about to fly out!

The religious theme of "Mourning Christ" is well known to everyone in the Western world, and has been quoted by countless artists and appeared in countless works of art!

However, none of these works of art, which quote or are named after "The Mourning Christ", can compare with Michelangelo's "Mourning Christ" sculpture, and even have the difference between heaven and earth!

In Western society, when "Mourning Christ" is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the marble statue of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, and nothing else!

At this moment, people suddenly heard and suddenly saw that Michelangelo actually created an oil painting on canvas of "Mourning Christ", how can they not be shocked by it?

Of course, this does not include some of the Vatican's top brass.

Some of them still know the origin of this masterpiece of Michelangelo, just because it has disappeared for more than 200 years, and no one thinks that it still exists, so no one mentions it!

But who would have thought that this outstanding work of Michelangelo suddenly appeared today, and as soon as it appeared, it shocked almost everyone!

Ye Tian turned his head to look at Martinez, who was almost crazy, and then said jokingly:

"Martinez, at your age, you shouldn't be old and dizzy, it's not a dream, that's right, this is Michelangelo's "Mourning Christ", very real.

The marble statue of the Mourning Christ in St. Peter's Basilica and the sketch of the same name are indeed well known, but few people know about this oil painting, which is also by Michelangelo!

Truth be told, I don't know very well, but there may be some secrets involved, which can only be explained by some high-ranking people in the Vatican!

Here, I can't speculate, it is unfounded, it may make some people feel unhappy, and even cause unnecessary trouble, but I am very sure of the provenance of this painting!

You can look at the lower right corner of the painting, where Michelangelo's personal signature is there, and the name of a pope from the 16th century is engraved on the frame, both of which speak volumes.

Moreover, if you take a closer look at this "Mourning Christ" and compare it with the famous sculpture in St. Peter's Basilica, you will definitely find something, and it will be a surprising discovery!"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Martinez immediately stepped forward and leaned his face closer to this "Mourning Christ", and when he looked at it carefully, he was serious, and his expression was extremely fanatical!

Many people on the live broadcast side are the same, they have gathered in front of the TV or computer screen, and began to carefully observe this so-called Michelangelo's masterpiece, and they can't wait to get into the TV or computer!

Looking at Martinez's performance, Ye Tian laughed softly, his face full of pride.

Immediately after that, he began to explain the classicist painting.

Many people know the story of "Mourning Christ" and the famous statue of St. Peter's Basilica, but when it comes to art identification, the vast majority of people are laymen who don't know why!

"Hello everyone, "Mourning for Christ" is taken from the Bible and tells the story of the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ and weeping bitterly after Christ Jesus was captured and crucified by the governor of Judea.

On this painting, the dead Christ has a scar under his ribs, without the slightest expression of pain on his face, lying horizontally between the knees of the Virgin Mary, with his right hand hanging down, his head tilted back, and his body slender!

His waist was bent and he looked very weak and weak, and the Virgin was young and beautiful, with a suave figure, dressed in a wide cloak and robe, with her right hand supporting the body of Christ, and her left hand slightly outstretched back.

Maria's expression was both helpless and painful, her head looking down at her son's body, and she fell into deep sadness, her thick shoulders covered by the fine folds of her clothes, but the mask set off her beautiful face.

Our Lady's expression is silent and complex, not only pouring out silent sorrow, but also prayer full of mourning, which goes far beyond the realm of religious belief and shows a noble and great maternal love.

In this painting, Michelangelo adopts a steady pyramidal composition, and the broad robe of the Virgin both shows the shape of Mary's limbs and subtly conceals the actual proportions of the Virgin's body.

In this way, the contradiction between the beauty of composition and the actual proportion of the human body is solved, and the painting technique can be described as very clever, and only the top art masters can do it so perfectly.

The fragile and naked body of Christ, the heaviness of the folds of the Virgin's garment, and the clarity of the face are in stark contrast, unified and varied, with a strong sense of layering.

Michelangelo used his own brush to give the painting a vigorous vitality and an immortal artistic charm, making the work dazzling and intoxicating!

Unlike the sculpture of the same name in St. Peter's Basilica, on that sculpture Michelangelo the signature is on the girdle on the chest of the Virgin, but on this painting the signature is in the lower right corner,......"

With Ye Tian's explanation, many people were completely attracted by this masterpiece of Michelangelo, and were deeply immersed in the pathetic atmosphere created by this painting, and they were related!

Except for Ye Tianqing's clear voice, there was a complete silence in front of countless live broadcasts.

In front of the live broadcast and in many parts of the world, more and more people are getting up and standing on the floor, bowing their heads and making crosses on their chests, and praying sincerely.

Suddenly, Martinez's excited voice came out, waking everyone up.

"That's right, this is Michelangelo's masterpiece, and there is no doubt that the appearance of this oil painting "Mourning Christ" will definitely cause a huge sensation, and even rewrite part of Western art history!

The author's signature in the lower right corner is indeed that of Michelangelo himself, and if it is fake, it has also appeared in his other works, and the signature of the pope in the sixteenth century is not wrong!

What's more, judging from the costumes and expressions, the Madonna and Christ painted here are slightly different from the sculpture of the same name, the lines appear fuller, and the atmosphere created is more pathetic!

The painting technique is more mature, and the various techniques are very proficient, and in these respects, it is not like Michelangelo's early works, but more like mature works!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded approvingly, and then interjected with a smile:

"That's right, Martinez, and I think so too, this should be the work of Michelangelo at the peak of his artistic career, not an early one.

If I'm not mistaken, this is probably an oil painting that Michelangelo recreated after he entered his prime, and the template is the famous statue!"

As soon as the words fell, Martinez immediately nodded and agreed:

"Mourning Jesus is Michelangelo's masterpiece and his fame, and when he achieves a higher level, it is entirely possible to go back and refine it!

But that work is a marble sculpture, which is already on display in St. Peter's Basilica, and it is no longer possible to modify it by hand, so it is normal for him to create an oil painting of the same name!"

Hearing this, both Ye Tian and the others on the live broadcast end couldn't help but nod their heads and agreed with Martinez's words.

As soon as the words fell, before Ye Tian could speak, Martinez said:

"Steven, can you transfer this 'Mourning Christ' to our Louvre?

In addition to a few treasures of our Louvre, other antique artworks can be chosen by you, and we exchange them on the basis of market prices, so that no one suffers, the best of both worlds!

The Vatican already has the monumental work of St. Peter's Basilica, the statue of Christ in mourning, this oil painting of the same name, I think it is better to stay in our Louvre!"

After saying this, Martinez looked at Ye Tian with anticipation, his eyes were extremely hot, hoping to hear the answer he wanted most!

At this time in the Vatican, many people jumped up directly from the sofa, and even began to scold with their throats, and the object of the curse was naturally Martinez!
