Chapter 1705 Lisa Gladini
Unlike the Mona Lisa, which is painted on poplar panel, this is an oil on canvas painting that is relatively small, about 70 centimeters high and less than 50 centimeters wide, stretched on a black walnut panel.
Obviously, the painting was deliberately hidden, and according to the size of the painting, part of the black walnut panel was cut out in the center to create a shallow rectangular groove.
The size and depth of the rectangular groove fit perfectly with the size of the painting, perfectly concealing it.
In this way, the painting is placed in the groove and covered with the original linen and the romantic oil painting, and nothing unusual can be felt when you touch it with your hands.
Not to mention the back of the artboard, there is also no anomaly to be seen.
And this is the real reason why this drawing board is made of black walnut and is so thick.
On this painting, there is a bust of an elegant and tranquil noblewoman, dressed in fine clothes, sitting quietly on a semicircular chair, looking out of the painting, with a mysterious smile on her lips.
The boundary between the figure and the background is not very clear, and the tone is dark, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, which is Leonardo da Vinci's famous 'fading' technique.
Among the many onlookers who have fallen into a frenzy, there are still some clear-headed and sharp-eyed guys, and this is the famous canal antique market, where there is no shortage of antique art experts of all levels.
They quickly saw the difference between the painting and the Mona Lisa and spoke out loud.
Steven was right, this painting is not the Mona Lisa, although the lady in the painting resembles the Mona Lisa and has that enigmatic smile.
However, she looks younger, has a pointed chin, is not as rounded as the Mona Lisa, and has a different outfit and background, so it can only be said that they are very similar."
"What's more, it's an oil on canvas rather than a wood panel, and it's not the same size, it's smaller than the Mona Lisa in the Louvre"
As these voices came out one after another, the exclamations that were almost crazy at the scene gradually subsided, and the same was true for the live broadcast!
However, everyone was still very excited, and they stared at the oil painting held high in Ye Tian's hand one by one, and they were reluctant to blink their eyelids.
At this time, it was determined that today's discovery was indeed enough to sensational the world and enough to rewrite the history of Western art, and this moment will be recorded in history forever!
To be able to witness this historic moment and witness the birth of this Leonardo da Vinci painting live or live, everyone feels honored and excited!
Regarding the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tiangang, no matter the many onlookers at the scene or the people in front of the live broadcast, almost no one doubted that this was not a painting by Leonardo da Vinci!
When did that Steven guy look at it? I've never heard of it, and today is no exception!
When the sound of the scene fell slightly, Ye Tianqing's voice immediately came out again and reached the ears of everyone at the scene.
"I'm sure you've already seen that the Renaissance Italian lady in the painting is not the same person as the famous Mona Lisa, but they are very similar and may well be sisters.
As we all know, scientists have found that the "Mona Lisa" in the Louvre has four layers through multispectral scanning technology, and the second layer is above the original manuscript, "Portrait with a Pearl Hair Ornament".
The third layer is the Portrait of Lisa Gladini, painted in 1503, which many art experts believe is the original appearance of the Mona Lisa, although there are other different theories.
In addition, before creating the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci also created another famous portrait, the Elworth Mona Lisa, which some believe to be the image of the Mona Lisa in her youth.
If you are familiar with these paintings and have studied the Mona Lisa, you will find that although these figures are very similar, they have their own characteristics, and it is difficult to say that they are the same person.
Because of this, the true identity and specific image of the Mona Lisa is a mystery, and there are many theories, but in either case, there is no evidence that convinces everyone."
Hearing Ye Tian's words, many people at the scene and on the live broadcast couldn't help but nod lightly in agreement.
At the same time, some TV stations that responded quickly and began to broadcast live broadcasts played pictures of Mona Lisa and several other characters in a timely manner to corroborate Ye Tian's words.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
One of the most widely accepted theories in Italy is that the Mona Lisa was based on Lisa Gladini, the second wife of a Florentine silk merchant.
For this reason, the Mona Lisa is also known as Lisa Gladini in Italy, but not everyone agrees with this statement, especially elsewhere.
Today, because of the appearance of this oil painting in front of us, the mystery of who the prototype of the Mona Lisa is, which has lasted for more than 500 years, is finally expected to be solved.
In the lower right corner of this oil on canvas, Lisa Gladini's Latin words are clearly written, so there is no doubt that this lady in the painting is the real Lisa Gladini.
It can be seen from this that the prototype of the creation of the Mona Lisa is not Lisa Gradini, but someone else, and it is not correct to call the Mona Lisa Gladini.
I just looked at the painting and didn't find Leonardo da Vinci's signature, but I'm sure Leonardo da Vinci's signature must be hidden somewhere in the painting, and he likes to play this trick the most!
In addition to Leonardo da Vinci's signature, I believe that this painting also hides a lot of secrets, such as mysterious characters, special marks of unknown significance, etc., just like the Mona Lisa"
At the same time as Ye Tian introduced and explained, Lisa pushed the mobile phone lens in time and aimed it at the lower right corner of the oil painting, presenting the string of Latin in the lower right corner in front of everyone's eyes.
Many media reporters moved faster, and they pointed their cameras and camera lenses at the lower right corner of the painting, and used their focusing lenses to capture the string of Latin.
The moment I saw that string of Latin, the scene and countless live broadcasts immediately boiled again, and the exclamations rang out.
"Wow! it says 'Lisa Gladini', and there is no doubt that this is definitely Leonardo da Vinci's work, and it is a painting that has never been seen before, this discovery is truly amazing!"
"The Mona Lisa is not based on Lisa Gladini, that's for sure, but can the other mysteries that loom over the Mona Lisa be solved through this Lisa Gradini?"
In the midst of an exclamation, Ye Tian put down the "Lisa Gradini" held high above his head and put it back on the table beside him.
Then he picked up the original linen and put it on top of Lisa Gradini, ready to nail it back up.
Lisa Gradini is such an important painting that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless, and it would be more accurate to say that it is priceless.
Even Ye Tian, he didn't dare to take the liberty of making a move now, took this authentic painting of Leonardo da Vinci off the drawing board, and then rolled it up and put it in a painting tube to take away.
If you do that, you may be able to cause damage to this rare treasure from more than 500 years ago, and it will be a big loss!
What's more, on the back of this masterpiece, there are hidden secrets, and Ye Tian doesn't want to make them public.
Seeing his movements, where the many onlookers at the scene were willing to agree, these guys immediately became anxious.
"Steven, don't! Let everyone enjoy this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci again, such an opportunity is once in a lifetime, but you only give everyone so much time, it is too stingy!"
"Please, Steven, don't put this Lisa Gradini on it, let's take another look, where is the time for this!"
The same was true in front of countless live broadcasts, many people were yelling, and even anxiously jumped up from their seats, trying to stop Ye Tian's movements.
It's a pity that they can't reach it, and they can only sigh with admiration.
Ye Tian stopped what he was doing, quickly glanced at the scene where the crowd was boiling, and then raised his hands and pressed down gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Seeing his movements, many onlookers at the scene immediately stopped clamoring and stared at Ye Tian one by one, their eyes full of anticipation.
The next moment, Ye Tianqing's voice came out again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your feelings very well and I would like to meet your request to enjoy this Lisa Gladini!
However, the reality did not allow me to do this, although the painting was not stored in a sealed state for a long time, so there was no need to worry about oxidation, but the problem of light had to be considered.
You know, this painting has been hidden for more than 100 years, and it has always been covered with two layers of canvas, which is somewhat photophobic, so I plan to seal it up for the sake of protection!
Don't worry, when this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci adapts to the outside environment, I will arrange a public exhibition, I believe this time will not be too long, maybe only a few days!"
Hearing this explanation, the people on the live and live broadcasts couldn't help but nod their heads, accepted the reality one after another, and stopped clamoring!
What if they don't accept it? Lisa Gladini is in the hands of Steven's lucky guy, and he has the final say!
Next, Ye Tian picked up the nail on the table again, and with Betty's assistance, began to nail the primary color linen!
Almost as soon as he pressed the first nail, Giovanni, who was not far away, stepped out and walked towards him and Betty.
As soon as he took two steps, the dude was stopped by Cole and had to stop.
