In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

Ye Tian and the others had already walked out of Michelangelo's corridor and came to an atrium courtyard next to the corridor, where there were also many exquisite sculptures, full of artistic atmosphere!

After admiring the famous "Fighting" sculpture, Ye Tian and the others continued to stroll forward and came to the "Bronze Statue of Louis XIV on Equestrian" located on the side of the courtyard, and began to admire this famous figure sculpture.

After appreciating the bronze sculpture in general, Ye Tian began to explain.

"This is the bronze statue of Louis XIV on horseback, Louis XIV called himself the Sun King, the king of the Bourbon dynasty of France, and the king of Navarre, who reigned for more than seventy-two years, the longest reigning monarch in the world!

The reign of Louis XIV was at the height of the Bourbon dynasty, when he established a centralized kingdom with an absolute monarchy in France and established the hegemony of Western Europe through a series of foreign wars.

In the history of France, Louis XIV has a very important historical position, and he is also a very effective king, especially a series of victories in foreign wars, which made his image even more majestic.

Unfortunately, his frequent wars and extravagant lifestyle in the latter part of his reign brought the French treasury to the brink of bankruptcy and ruined his image as a great man in the hearts of the French people.

Louis XIV became King of France at the age of five, and for the next 72 years he lived in the Louvre, where he purchased a large number of precious works of art out of his love of art.

Even in Louis XIV's time, top-quality works of art were worth a lot, and Louis XIV's large-scale purchase of top-quality works of art undoubtedly greatly accelerated the rate of fiscal erosion in France!

As a result of Louis XIV's extravagance, and Louis XV, who succeeded King of France and uttered the famous phrase 'Even if the flood is terrible after I die', the situation in France became more and more erosive.

By the time Louis XV's grandson, Louis XVI, succeeded him as King of France, the situation in France had basically reached the point of no return, and the conditions for the French Revolution were generally ripe.

Louis XVI was not a bad king, compared to the previous two, his life should be said to be quite frugal, because of his stuttering, he did not like to take care of the government, only liked to pick locks, repair locks, and repair clocks.

But it's a pity that he married a super loser's wife, even more crazy and extravagant than the previous two French kings, and with the efforts of Queen Mary, the French Revolution finally broke out!

Here, I would like to advise you that you must take good care of your wives, and you must not let them buy and buy, once a woman goes crazy, no one can stop it, and it may even lead to a revolution!"

Hearing this, the scene immediately erupted in laughter.

"Hahaha"

The twenty or thirty visitors around the bronze statue of Louis XIV on equestrian laughter burst into laughter, drawing the attention of all visitors to the courtyard.

When the laughter subsided, one of the visitors jokingly said:

"Steven, don't warn us yet, did you do it yourself? As far as I know, you're a very extravagant guy, living in the most expensive apartment in New York, and traveling by the best private jets.

The 'Oppenheimer Blue' you photographed in Antwerp two days ago for a world record price, beating many competitors, must have been given to your girlfriend? Aren't you afraid of starting a revolution?"

"Hahaha"

The scene broke out into laughter again, and everyone was overjoyed.

Betty also smiled, her face was slightly red, and she was still a little embarrassed.

Ye Tian turned his head to look at the visitor, and then said with a smile:

"I'm not Louis XVI, and my girlfriend isn't Queen Mary, Louis XVI only likes to repair locks, unlocks, and clocks, and has no ability to make money, and when he has no money, he can only borrow from his subjects!

But you have to repay the money, even if you are the king of France! If you can't repay the money, the revolution will naturally break out, and the magnificent French Revolution can also be regarded as a violent debt collection action initiated by creditors!"

"Hahaha"

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and everyone was crazy with joy.

Many French people who were also at the scene rolled their eyes angrily, and everyone had a crying and laughing expression.

This cargo is so ridiculous, running a train with a mouth!

The great French Revolution was nothing more than a violent debt collection operation, full of copper stench, where can it be said to be great!

When the laughter subsided slightly, Ye Tian continued to smile and said aloud:

"Compared to the poor and unfortunate King Louis XVI of France, I have an incomparably strong earning power, not that I boast, making money is not much more difficult for me than drinking water!

Whether it's New York, or Paris, or anywhere else, as long as there is a market for antique art, I can find valuable treasures, and I am extremely confident in that!

My girlfriend is not Queen Mary either, and although she loves the dazzling jewels and diamonds, she is not crazy, just like Oppenheimer's Blue, which I gave to her on my own initiative!"

Speaking of this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at Betty, and gently shook her hand, his eyes full of love!

Betty was the same, looking at Ye Tian's eyes full of love and extremely gentle.

For Ye Tian's words, no one at the scene had the slightest doubt!

His previous series of legendary achievements, as well as the incomparably profound antique art appraisal skills he has just shown, are enough to show that he is absolutely a terrifying existence in the antique art market.

Thinking of this, the eyes of many visitors at the scene who looked at Ye Tian were suddenly full of envy, and some guys' eyes were even red, all because of jealousy!

After staying in this courtyard for a while, admiring several famous sculptures, Ye Tian and the others left this atrium courtyard.

The few of them chatted and chatted casually, admiring the various artworks in the path, and strolled towards the Greek sculpture gallery.

Behind them, followed by a long procession of thirty or forty people, it became a spectacle in the Louvre, attracting countless attention.

The visitors who followed were attracted by Ye Tian's interesting and vivid but very professional explanations, and they were reluctant to leave one by one, ready to follow them to visit the Louvre.

The Greek sculpture gallery of the Louvre is also located on the first floor, at the junction of the Denon and Sully pavilions, with the Ancient Roman Pavilion of the Denon Pavilion on the left and the Ancient Greek Pavilion of the Sully Pavilion on the right!

While speaking, Ye Tian and his party walked into the Greek Sculpture Museum.

As soon as they entered the pavilion, they saw the Louvre's treasure, known as one of the world's three treasures, the famous statue of Venus de Milo.

This beautiful woman, who unfortunately lost her arms and wore a red upper body, stands at the entrance of the Greek Sculpture Gallery, showing her magnificence to everyone who walks into the museum!

The moment they saw this sculpture, Ye Tian and the others immediately stopped, and everyone's eyes were completely attracted by this beautiful sculpture, without exception!

"Wow! she's so beautiful, she deserves to be a goddess of beauty!"
