It didn't take long for Ye Tian and the others to come to Hercules Hall.

Located at the northeast corner of the second floor of the main building, where it joins the north wing, the Hercules Room was a chapel for the royal family in the time of Louis XIV and later a meeting room for the king.

As soon as she walked into the exhibition hall, Betty was surprised and said:

"My dear, look at the huge oil painting in front of you, it looks so similar to the "Wedding in Cana" in the Mona Lisa Room of the Louvre, as if it was made by the same painter!"

As she said this, Betty was already pointing to the huge classical oil painting in the exhibition hall.

Following the direction of her finger, Ye Tian looked at the huge oil painting, then nodded with a smile and said:

"My dear, you guessed it right, this oil painting is "Simon's Family Feast", like "The Wedding of Cana", it is the work of Veronese, a famous Renaissance painter and one of the three masters of Venice.

Veronese is particularly adept at painting the monumental oil painting, painted in 1570 for the convent of Santa Maria Maggiore in Venice, which is undoubtedly a work of art.

In 1664, the then Viceroy of Italy gifted the painting to King Louis XIV of France to win French support for Italy against the Turks, which could be considered a bribe or a tribute.

Louis XIV was so fond of the painting that he hung it here as a gift, and for a time this masterpiece by Veronese was also hung in the Louvre.

Like The Wedding at Cana, The Feast of Simon is a biblical religious story about the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, which is philosophical and thought-provoking!

At this legendary family feast, Mary Magdalene washes Jesus' feet with tears and behaves very religiously, while several Pharisees next to her disagree with Mary's actions.

They were thinking, 'If Jesus was really a prophet, he should have known that Mary was a widow, a sinful woman,' and Jesus saw through the Pharisees' thoughts.

Jesus turned to his disciples and said, 'Faith can save anyone,' and this painting depicts this moment, so let's go and enjoy it!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian walked with Betty to the huge oil painting in front of him, explaining as he walked.

Anderson and the others then followed, and together they walked to Veronese's Simon's Feast.

In the blink of an eye, they came to the "Simon's Family Feast", and they stopped to admire this magnificent masterpiece from the Renaissance!

After a few minutes, they finished admiring this top-notch work of art, and then stopped to admire another famous oil painting in the same Hercules Hall!

This oil painting is "Rebecca at the Well", from the famous Italian painter of the Renaissance, one of the three masters of the Venetian school, and another disciple of the master Titian, Tintoretto!

After standing still in front of this oil painting and admiring it quietly for a while, Ye Tian began to explain to Betty and the others, which was still very professional and vivid.

The story of Rebecca at the Well is also from the Bible, where Abraham's servant was ordered by his master to return to his hometown of Harran, Mesopotamia, and his only son, Elizah, chose his own daughter as his wife.

The servant returned to Haran and prayed at a well: 'If anyone can give me and camel water to drink, then she is the wife of the young master I am looking for.'

As soon as she had finished speaking, Rebecca, with her elegant manners and delicate countenance, came with a jug, and was about to feed her father's livestock, when she first gave water to the tired passer-by and the camel.

Later, Rebecca became Isaac's wife, and this representative painting by Tintoretto depicts the story that takes place at the well,......"

In front of the fireplace below "Rebecca at the Well", only Ye Tian's voice echoed in the air.

Everyone at the scene was listening to his professional and vivid explanation, tilting their heads slightly one by one, admiring the Renaissance masterpiece, full of fascination!

After admiring "Rebecca at the Well", everyone did not retract their gaze, but followed the direction of Ye Tian's finger, looked up at the dome of Hercules Hall, and began to appreciate the dome mural.

Ye Tian's explanation did not stop, and the clear voice still echoed in everyone's ears.

"The 480-square-metre fresco in the dome of the Hercules Room is the work of François Le Muiène, the famous French painter of the 18th century and the founder of Rococo art.

Created almost by Le Muvana alone, this monumental ceiling fresco, which took three years to complete, is one of the largest ceiling paintings in Europe and a striking feat.

Because of this zenith, Le Muina achieved great success and became the chief painter of the court, but it was this work that made him exhausted, caused depression, and committed suicide half a year later!

At the time of his suicide, Le Muirner was only 49 years old, which was the golden age of artistic creation, and it can be said that it is a pity, otherwise Le Muiganne would have achieved greater artistic achievements.

The title of the painting is "The Ascension of Hercules", which is derived from Greek mythology, the story of the great hero Hercules who climbed the holy mountain after his death and was canonized as a god, and married Heber, the daughter of Zeus.

Le Muvana seems to be using his brush to bring the entire Protoss to the canvas and to the dome, and he painted a total of 142 figures, in which the ancient Greek gods can be seen.

The one with a lion's skin on his shoulders and an olive stick in his hand was Hercules Hercules, and standing on the chariot were Zeus and Hera, the queen of heaven, and next to him was Zeus's daughter Hibbi.

On Mount Olympia, Zeus took his daughter Higi by the hand, greeted the hero Hercules, and together with the queen of heaven, Hera, introduced Higli to Higris, which can also be said to be a blind date scene!

Do you see the eagle at the feet of Zeus? That's the guy who tortured Prometheus on the cliffs of the Caucasus, who was shot by Hercules and brought here as a greeting gift!

Like many of the paintings seen at Versailles from Louis XIV's time, this ceiling painting is a tribute to Louis XIV's exploits, inspired by Hercules Hercules,......"

After staying in the Hercules Hall for about half an hour, Ye Tian and the others left and walked towards the Harvest Hall located to the west of the Hercules Hall!

The main display in this exhibition hall is a collection of medals and treasures of the kings of France, as well as a lot of court furniture made in various artistic styles and eras.

In addition, on the north side of the harvest hall, you can see the Ladonna Fountain in the garden, which is a very nice view!

After walking around the harvest hall for about twenty minutes, Ye Tian and the others walked into the Venus Hall again and began to appreciate this luxurious building and the antique artworks displayed here.

As soon as they walked into the Venus Hall, Ye Tian and they saw the marble statue of Louis XIV standing in front of them, which was written by the famous French sculptor Jean Verin, and was his most famous masterpiece!

However, the most attractive thing about the Venus Room is not the statue of Louis XIV, but the dome of the Venus Room.

Above the dome of the Venus Room, there are several wonderful ceiling frescoes, some from ancient Roman mythology and some from Greek mythology!

The first ceiling painting is located in the center of the dome and is entitled "Venus Makes Her Empire Sacred and Powerful", by the famous painter Antonius, and is a baroque ceiling painting created in 1672.

In the picture, the three goddesses are putting a flower crown on Venus, who is reclining on the car, holding a wreath of roses!

The wreath of roses in her hand is wrapped around Mars, the god of war, Vulcan, Bacchus, Nopton, and Jupiter, the goddess of the sea!

At either end of this zenith, there are two more zenith paintings!

One is "Zeus fell in love with the Phoenician princess Europa", and the other was "Poseidon, the god of the sea, fell in love with Amphitrite, the beautiful nymph in the sea".

Like the central zenith paintings, these two zenith paintings are also by famous artists and have extraordinary artistic value!
