The day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next afternoon.

After visiting the Grand Place of Brussels, the Atomium and other famous attractions, and after visiting the old city of Brussels, Ye Tian and they came to the famous Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium.

The Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium is the most important museum of fine arts in Belgium, built more than 200 years ago, located in the city of Brussels Kirtenberg.

The museum houses more than 20,000 paintings and sculptures from the 15th century to the present day, including works by top artists.

In particular, the 'Rubens Hall' in this museum of fine arts, which houses more than 20 outstanding paintings by the Baroque master Rubens, is the world's largest collection of Rubens paintings.

In addition, there is a collection of monumental works by Jacques-Louis David, the founder of the French neoclassical school and a famous painter, "The Death of Marat".

This classic work in the history of the French Revolution is arguably the most important collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium and the most valuable addition to this famous museum.

After visiting the famous 'Rubens Hall', Ye Tian and Betty continued to stroll through this famous museum, admiring the many paintings and sculptures on display here, and wandering in the sea of art.

A few meters behind the two of them, followed by Anderson and Louis, the French translator, and Taylor and Lisa, who were in charge of security.

A little farther away, there were two Belgian police detectives in civilian clothes, following closely behind, their eyes always fixed on Ye Tian, not daring to relax for a moment.

As for Walker, they are still disguised as tourists visiting Brussels, scattered outside the famous museum, ready to provide support.

The Royal Museum of Fine Arts' security staff, related staff, and the many tourists who visited the museum, as well as several young painters and students who copied the master's works.

Almost everyone here noticed and recognized Ye Tian, and after visiting, everyone would look at them from time to time, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity!

How did this guy Steven end up in Europe, in Brussels? Could it be that this guy found treasure in Europe or in Brussels, and he came for the treasure?

For the attention of the people around them, Ye Tian and them were as if they had never seen it, and they freely visited the museum, admiring the exquisite works of art, which was very comfortable.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive in front of "The Death of Marat" and immediately stop to take a closer look at this classic work of the French Revolution.

This is a large-scale oil painting about 1.67 meters high and about 1.3 meters wide, created in 1793 by Jacques-Louis David, the founder of the French neoclassical school and a famous painter.

The painting depicts the assassination of Paul Marat, the leader of the Jacobins during the French Revolution, and is a very famous historical event.

"The Death of Marat" deliberately creates a space for the poor, in a closed and cramped room, Marat collapses into the bathtub, holding a pen in one hand and a blood-stained letter in the other.

The upper part of the painting is loose and messy, and the blurred background may be a wall, or it may just be an ambiguous space, representing eternal nothingness.

In the lower half of the painting, the rough and flat wooden box that serves as a desk has very delicate brushstrokes, and the words and lines on it can be clearly seen, as if telling the virtues of Marat.

By removing all the movements, all the allegorical figures, and weakening all the traces of murder, this painting creates an icon of the revolutionary, which is thus a classic in the history of the French Revolution.

Ye Tian, who stood still, carefully admired the famous oil painting hanging on the wall for a while, and then began to explain to Betty and them in a low voice.

"The oil painting in front of us is the famous "The Death of Marat", which is a classic work during the French Revolution and the treasure of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium.

Paul Marat, a famous French politician and revolutionary, was one of the leaders of the Jacobins during the French Revolution.

After the establishment of the First French Republic, Marat began to fiercely oppose the rule of the Girondists in the Friends of the People, later known as the Le Française de la Repubblica, which he founded.

It was this act that soon brought death to himself, and after the Jacobins came to power in June 1793, Marat stressed the need to establish a revolutionary dictatorship and establish freedom by violence.

Marat put into practice his radical revolutionary ideas, and the Jacobins he led set off bloody killings in Paris and France, sending many enemies to the guillotine!

Soon after, on July 13, Marat shocked France when he was assassinated in his apartment in Paris by Charlotte Corday, a Girondist supporter disguised as a revolutionary.

The next day, a French national convention was convened, at which a delegate spoke and called on the painter Jacques-Louis David to take up the brush and avenge Marat, so that the enemy would tremble at the sight of Marat's assassination.

Jacques-Louis David was one of the most famous painters of his time, the founder of the French neoclassical school, a radical revolutionary, and a member of the French National Assembly.

As Marat's best friend, he accepted the assignment and immediately rushed to the scene of the incident, learned about the situation, painted a portrait of the dead Marat, and made a plaster mask as a reference for Marat's image.

Next, he brought the dagger left behind by the female assassin and the bathtub where Marat had died, which he used as a basis for his work, and quickly created a sketch of the scene of Marat's assassination.

Subsequently, he spent about three months, with deep revolutionary friendship, to create this immortal famous painting, and wrote the inscription in his own hand: 'Dedicated to the friend of the people - Marat'

In creating this painting, Jacques-Louis David depicted the assassination of a revolutionary leader in a bleak and tragic manner with a strong and realistic brushstroke.

The composition of this painting is crisp and simple, solemn, omitting all details that have nothing to do with the overall situation, and half of the picture is occupied by a deep, blackened background, which is almost breathless.

The most striking thing in the picture is the color of Marat's skin, the yellow of the wooden box, the green of the blanket, and the white of the sheets and paper, all of which are presented to the maximum extent and form a strong contrast.

Marat leaned back in the tub, one hand hanging limply, the other holding the letterhead, his head tilted back, his expression calm, as if he were resting with his eyes closed, blood pouring from his chest.

This famous oil painting depicts a famous historical moment that touches people's hearts, reflecting a real era of great revolution with passion and ideals, bloodshed and death.

When admiring this famous painting, which is permeated with a sense of sad beauty, everyone can feel a heavy pressure on their faces, and at the same time, they can also feel a shocking power.

In the artist's portrayal, Marat is portrayed as a saint, a hero who has died but is forever alive, a man glorified by benevolence, integrity, and selfless patriotism.

Jacques-Louis David used his brush to paint such a major historical event as the assassination of Marat into a dramatic and shocking immortal masterpiece.

Throughout the history of world art, this famous oil painting has a very important historical position, it is the epitome of a great revolutionary era, and can be called one of the miracles in the history of modern art.

The reason why we are living in Brussels is that I want to come here to enjoy this monumental masterpiece and the two dozen outstanding works of Rubens."

"You're right, my dear, standing in front of this painting, I have a sense of sadness, I can feel a great pressure, and my heart instantly becomes much heavier.

When we were in school, we had seen this famous painting in art appreciation class, but it was only then that I really felt the power of this immortal masterpiece, which was enough to shock people's hearts!"

Betty said softly, her expression quite solemn, her eyes always fixed on the immortal masterpiece in front of her.

Ye Tian nodded slightly, and then picked up what he had just said, and continued to explain the famous painting in front of him.

"There are very different evaluations of the protagonist of this immortal painting, the revolutionary Marat, and the other protagonist hidden outside the picture, the female assassin Corday,......"
