"This painting is "Leoni at the Thermopa", I believe everyone has seen "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", or heard of this extremely tragic and blood-boiling story.

The painting depicts the Spartan king Leonidas leading 300 warriors to resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Persian king Xerxes alone at Thermopylae.

The 300 warriors of Sparta fought a bloody battle with the Persian army for three days in isolation, and finally all of them were killed on the battlefield, and the Persians paid a heavy price of more than 20,000 dead and wounded,......"

"The Coronation of the Virgin" is one of the representative works of the famous painter Angelico of the Renaissance and Florentine School, although he is in the Renaissance period, Angelico is a rebel of the times!

He loved only sacred traditional subjects, and in this painting we can clearly see this style, which leans towards the Middle Ages, which is very different from the humanism advocated by the Renaissance,......"

The masterpiece in front of everyone is one of the representative works of Giotto, the founder of the Florentine School and the famous Renaissance painter, the famous "Acceptance of the Stigmata", created in 1290.

In the history of Western art, Giotto is an enlightening figure with a very important historical position, known as the 'father of Western painting', and the first person to be recognized and respected as a 'painter'.

Giotto's art had a very great influence on the Renaissance movement, and Masaccio at the beginning of the Renaissance and Michelangelo at the height of the Renaissance admitted that he was deeply influenced by Giotto,......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is presented to you at this moment is another great work from the three masters of Renaissance art, which is the famous painter Raphael's "The Beautiful Gardener".

Created in 1507 as a custom painting for the Vatican Chapel, this famous painting was initially attempted to be given to Leonardo da Vinci, who refused the commission and was completed by Raphael.

Raphael is the one who painted the most Madonna in the history of art, but he never copied the model's face, nor did he imagine it out of thin air, but constructed a perfect image according to his own aesthetics.

As you can see, this painting feels very soft and beautiful, like a spring breeze, and in terms of artistry, this painting is on par with the "Madonna of the Rocks" that I have seen before,......"

Ye Tian took Betty and her sisters to continue to visit the big gallery, stopping in front of the famous paintings to admire, and explaining the relevant knowledge to Betty and them, which is still very professional, vivid and extremely exciting!

At this time, he is like being in the ocean of art, swimming freely, unrestrained, physically and mentally comfortable, what a cool word!

Following Betty and Anderson on the left and right, while concentrating on admiring the many world-famous paintings hanging on the walls of the large gallery, while listening to Ye Tian's vivid explanation, everyone was fascinated!

The rest of the visitors around were the same, enjoying the baptism of art, one by one extremely intoxicated, lingering, and no one was willing to leave.

Not only that, following behind Ye Tian, there are more and more visitors listening to his professional explanations, and the team is getting bigger and bigger, which has already become a unique scenery in the big gallery, which is eye-catching!

Especially those who are on the periphery of the crowd, because of the distance, they don't listen too much.

They were anxious, and they couldn't wait to find a loudspeaker and hand it to Ye Tian, so that he could use the loudspeaker to explain, so that everyone could hear it!

As for the many docents of the Louvre in the Grand Gallery, as well as many tour guides, they could only smile wryly and stand aside helplessly and wait!

It was probably the most relaxing afternoon for them, and it was so relaxing!

While speaking, Ye Tian and the others came to a world-famous painting again, stopped one after another, and began to concentrate on admiring the top artwork in front of them.

Almost instantly, the excitement on everyone's faces vanished, replaced by a solemnity, and some even had heavy expressions and compassion in their eyes!

The reason for this is nothing but the painting in front of you.

The painting that is presented in front of everyone's eyes at this moment is the famous "Raft of Medusa", which is the famous work of the pioneer of the French Romantic school, Ji Ricoeur, and his greatest work.

It is a veritable masterpiece with a width of 716 cm and a height of 491 cm, and it is visually striking and stunning when hung on the wall!

What's even more striking is what this painting depicts.

In the background of the painting, a vast sea floats a precarious raft, the wind tears at the mast sail made of bed sheets, and the raging waves crash wildly against the raft, threatening to capsize it at any moment.

On the raft were a dozen scrawny refugees, some of whom were dying, some of whom were still looking into the distance, and those who were held up on a high place waved the red and white cloth towels in their hands, constantly calling for help into the distance.

The painter uses a pyramid-shaped composition to show the scene of the survivors on the raft when they discover the shadow of the boat on the horizon, and depicts the hunger, thirst, suffering, and moaning of the victims.

The whole picture is full of suffocating tragic atmosphere, and the painter uses the brush in his hand to vividly portray the suffering and tragedy of those survivors, which is very shocking!

There was silence in front of the painting, and all the visitors were completely shocked by what the painting depicted, and they all admired the painting with extraordinary concentration.

Some female visitors can even see crystal tears in their eyes, which are about to flow out!

After a few moments, the silence was broken by voices coming from behind.

"Steven, tell us about this Medusa Raft and what you would say about this famous painting that is full of suffering and suffocation, we would love to hear it."

Ye Tian turned his head to look at the visitor who was speaking, nodded at the other party, and then turned his head and said loudly:

"No problem, I can explain to you this "Raft of Medusa", which is the famous work of the famous French painter and pioneer of the Romantic school, Ricoeur, and his greatest work.

The birth of this painting marks the beginning of the Romantic school, but the content depicted in this painting is not romantic at all, but very heavy, full of suffering, enough to suffocate!

In the history of Western art and in the history of French art, "The Raft of Medusa" has a very important historical position, and its appearance has made the French art world bound by neoclassicism refreshing.

The romantic elements contained in the painting constitute its characteristics, that is, the tragic power, the rich expressiveness of the composition and the figures, the solemnity and calmness of the tones, and the strong contrast of light and dark.

Through this magnificence, he shows concern for the fate of humanity and humanitarianism, exposing the incompetence of the Bourbon authorities after the Restoration, thus giving it a strong political metaphor.

Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism and other artistic schools of the 19th century have all been inspired by this painting, and it can be said that this painting changed the aesthetic spirit of French painting!

After talking about the place and value of "The Raft of Medusa" in the history of art, I now want to analyze this famous painting in detail, and what I will say next is likely to make some people feel uncomfortable.

If you want to explain this famous painting, you will inevitably have to talk about the plot of cannibalism, and if this content makes you feel uncomfortable, I suggest that you should leave for a while, so as not to go back and have nightmares!"

Speaking of this, Ye Tian immediately stopped and turned his head to look at the surrounding visitors!

Especially those with children, as well as some female visitors who already have tears in their eyes, are the targets of his attention!

When looking at those visitors, Ye Tian shook his head lightly with a solemn face, signaling that they had better leave and not listen to the next explanation.

The visitors, knowing their situation, took their children or their friends and left the area, the suffocating Medusa Raft

After they all walked away, Ye Tian turned around and really began to explain and analyze "Medusa's Raft".

In the next time, only Ye Tian's voice echoed in people's ears in this area, and there was a heavy and rapid breathing sound.

Even the air here quickly became so heavy that it was a little difficult to breathe!

Two or three minutes later, Ye Tianfang finished explaining "Medusa's Raft".

Without a moment's pause, he then spoke aloud:

"The story of 'The Raft of Medusa' is so heavy and tragic, standing here, I even have a little difficulty breathing, and my mood is very low, and I think everyone feels the same way!

I am in dire need of a surging passion to dispel this suffocating feeling, and where does this passion come from? I think there is no other masterpiece of Romanticism, Liberty Leading the People."

As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his finger and pointed to "Freedom Guiding the People" hanging not far away, and then strode over there with Betty!

Anderson and Matisse followed closely and immediately followed!

Seeing them leave, many other visitors immediately followed with Hulala, and everyone was fast-paced, wishing they could leave "The Raft of Medusa" early!
