As soon as they entered the exhibition hall, Ye Tian and the others saw the last master of the Florentine School, the pinnacle of Sandro Botticelli's maturity, "Spring".

The size of this tempera painting is very staggering, more than two meters high and more than three meters wide, and it hangs on a display wall facing the entrance of the exhibition hall.

The moment he saw this famous painting, Ye Tian couldn't help but stop, standing at the entrance of the exhibition hall and admiring this masterpiece of Botticelli from a distance.

Betty and Anderson, too, were completely shocked by the size of this top-notch work of art, and they were completely attracted by this masterpiece.

After quietly admiring the painting for a while, Ye Tian said aloud:

"Let's go over and take a good look at this masterpiece by Botticelli, it's still a bit far away, it's not particularly real, and many details can't be seen clearly."

With his words, Betty and the others were all awakened.

"Okay, my dear, let's go and admire this painting, it's so big, it's so beautiful, it's so beautiful!"

Betty nodded with emotion, still looking obsessed.

Afterwards, the group walked towards the painting, and as for the other top artworks that were also displayed in this exhibition hall, they had no time to care about it for the time being!

During the march, Ye Tian smiled and explained:

"Spring" is a tempera painting created by the master Sandro Botticelli around 1481, based on an allegorical poem by the famous Renaissance poet Policiano.

The painting is related to a political marriage of the Medici family, and is a commissioned painting commissioned by the Medici family to Botticelli, so the theme of "Spring" is naturally chosen as love.

But this is a political marriage, and there is no beauty in love, so when Botticelli created this painting, he connected with a story from Boccaccio's "Decameron", which is very pertinent.

In the history of art, it is a top-notch work of art, with an extremely important status and milestone significance, because Botticelli brought hope and spring to the artists of the time.

Using his brush, Bottiche depicted an eternal spring, and in the early Renaissance under religious rule, "Spring" was like a warm spring breeze that blew away the cold of winter.

The appearance of this masterpiece created a great precedent for the artists of that time, and this spring breeze blew an era dominated by God to an era of people-oriented.

When people look at this painting, they will feel a spring breeze blowing in their faces, which is refreshing, it is the spring breeze of the Renaissance, full of humanism"

While speaking, Ye Tian and his party had already come to this masterpiece of Botticelli, stopped about five meters in front of the painting, and began to appreciate this top famous painting again.

At this time, every detail of this famous painting presented in front of them is extremely clear and moving, and the feeling of bringing them is even stronger and intoxicating.

This painting depicts an early spring morning.

In a picturesque citrus grove, Venus, the dignified and charming goddess of love and beauty, is in the center, waiting for the grand ceremony for the arrival of spring with a quiet and elegant expression.

To the right of Venus are the three beautiful goddesses, dressed in gauze skirts as thin as cicada wings, bathed in the warm sunshine of early spring, dancing hand in hand, with beautiful postures and exquisite curves!

The goddess of 'beauty' shines with pearls of human ornaments, the goddess of 'youth' turns her back in shame, and the goddess of 'happiness' twists her waist happily, and they will bring life and joy to the world.

Standing next to the three goddesses of grace is the messenger of the gods, the red-robed and sword-wielding Mercury, who wields a scepter and dispels the clouds of winter.

To the left of Venus are the god of flowers, the god of spring, and the god of wind.

Wearing a garland on her head and wearing a full costume, Flona, is facing her with graceful and graceful steps, scattering flowers to the earth, symbolizing that the natural season of 'spring returns to the earth, and all trees strive for glory' is coming.

Directly above Venus's head, is Cupid, the flying little goddess of love, blindfolded and shoots his golden arrow of love, symbolizing pure love.

The style of the whole painting is elegant, the colors are bright and brilliant, the lines are light and smooth, and there is a delicate and tranquil poetic meaning, which is intoxicating.

The image of the gods shown in this painting, rejoicing at the arrival of spring, is a celebration of human nature, a concrete embodiment of human beings, and has extraordinary beauty!

However, in those solemn and confident images of the gods, it seems that a nameless sorrow buried in the depths of the painter's heart can be seen.

Ye Tian and the others were all completely shocked and fascinated by this masterpiece of Botticelli, and stood quietly in front of the painting to admire.

Without exception, each of them was fascinated and immersed in the beauty of the painting.

After a long time, Ye Tianfang came to his senses, and then whispered with emotion:

"Wow! This painting is so beautiful, it is incomparable, it is the jewel of the Uffizi Gallery, and it deserves to be the most outstanding work of early Renaissance art!"

With his emotion, Betty and Anderson all came to their senses.

Immediately afterwards, there was an exclamation at the scene, one after another, endlessly.

"This 'Spring' is simply beautiful, and of all the paintings I have seen, this painting is definitely one of the most beautiful, almost unsurpassed"

"I like the handsome and flowing style of painting of the master Botticelli, and I like the spring he depicts, it is so charming, it is not wrong to say that he is the prelude to Raphael!"

After sighing with emotion, Betty immediately turned her head to look at Ye Tian and said:

"My dear, let me explain this painting to you in detail, I want to know more about this beautiful work of art, and others must be the same!"

Before the words fell, Anderson and the others echoed, and everyone at the scene turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, their eyes full of expectation.

Ye Tian gently shook Betty's hand, then glanced around the scene, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Well, I'm going to tell you about this Botticelli's Spring, to be honest, I like it so much that I would love to keep it, but unfortunately the Uffizi Gallery doesn't sell it.

Let's start with the painting technique, most of the paintings we see now are oil paintings, this painting created in the early Renaissance, but it is a tempera painting, with very distinctive characteristics.

Around 1481, the technique of oil painting was already popular in Flanders, but in Italy and in Florence, it was still a novelty, and not many people dared to try it.

In creating this painting, Botticelli used the traditional egg white painting method, and the ornate decorative effect on the picture was more intense, which was also more conducive to expressing his light and ethereal style.

Since the egg white is dried to form a hard layer, it is a transparent color, so we can feel the pure, transparent effect close to watercolor painting on this painting.

In the history of art, there are many works depicting spring, but none can be compared to this "Spring" by Botticelli, which shows the beauty of spring to the fullest.

In this painting, Botticelli uses a flat decoration technique to arrange the gods of Greek legend in their proper places, arranged from left to right, without overlapping or interspersing.

There are nine people in the picture, and according to their different roles in the painting, Botticelli arranged the appropriate movements for them, and the goddess Venus is in a little later than the others,......"

With Ye Tian's explanation, Betty and her sisters had a deeper understanding of this painting, and they were once again immersed in the wonderful artistic conception of this painting, with an obsessive face!
