Chapter 1320 The Lion of Romanticism

Before "Freedom Guides the People", Ye Tianzheng explained this world-famous painting to everyone with emotion.

At this time, he has swept away the haze brought by "Medusa's Raft", his expression is excited, his voice is full of passion, and he is clear and loud!

Betty and Anderson, as well as many other visitors, had a sunny face on everyone's face, and there was no trace of shadow in sight!

"As we all know, this "Liberty Leading the People" by the famous French painter Delacroix, the 'lion of romanticism', is one of his most outstanding and famous works.

He inherited and developed the achievements and traditions of various European art schools since the Renaissance, including the Venetian School, the Dutch School, Rubens and other famous artists, and had a great influence on later generations.

After introducing Delacroix, I would like to introduce this painting, which is an oil painting created by Delacroix to commemorate the July Revolution in France in 1830, which is a representative work of Romanticism.

The painting depicts the street battle scene at the crucial moment of the victory of the July Revolution, and uses a romantic technique to skillfully combine freehand and realism to reproduce the battle that took place on the streets of Paris.

Delacroix's use of rich and fiery colors and chiaroscuro, dynamic compositions, unrestrained brushstrokes, compact structures, and the high enthusiasm and indomitable momentum of revolutionaries are expressed.

With his paintbrush, he sang the praises of the July Revolution, which was dominated by workers, petty bourgeoisie and intellectuals.

The content of this painting is aptly expressed in the core political theme of modern society, 'freedom and democracy', and this painting has become a symbol of the French national spirit......"

With Ye Tian's professional explanation, everyone at the scene focused on appreciating this romantic masterpiece, and their understanding of this world-famous painting became more profound!

Even the Louvre docents, tour guides, and several painters who were copying at the scene listened to Ye Tian's explanation with great interest, and they were also very fascinated.

Everyone at the scene fell silent, only Ye Tian's voice echoed in the air, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Let's analyze the figure in the painting, this young woman holding a red, white and blue flag and an infantry gun, is Clara Lessing, which symbolizes Lady Liberty.

To the left of Lady Liberty, the boy wearing a black velvet beret, carrying a large ammunition box, and wielding a cavalry pistol in his hand symbolizes the teenage hero Allaire.

During the July Revolution, Clara Lessing first raised the tricolor flag, a symbol of the republic, on a barricade, and the young Alaire planted it on a bridge next to Notre-Dame Cathedral.

After planting the flag, Alaire was shot and fell, and the painter Delacroix happened to witness this tragic and fierce scene, and was filled with righteous indignation, so he created "Liberty Leads the People".

Look at this gentleman in a tuxedo, this is Delacroix himself, while expressing the revolutionary passion, the famous painter did not forget to show the loveliness of the intellectual!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian also deliberately pointed to Delacroix who was holding a double-barreled shotgun and following behind Lady Liberty in the painting, ready to fight!

"Hahaha"

There was a hearty laugh at the scene, and all the visitors laughed softly.

When the laughter subsided slightly, Ye Tian immediately picked up what he had just said and continued to explain this world-famous painting to everyone.

In the blink of an eye, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Tian and the others finally finished visiting the many top artworks displayed in the big gallery, although it was a sightseeing view, but it was also very enjoyable!

Next, it's time to take a look at the famous Italian lady, the Mona Lisa, and see what secrets are hidden behind her mysterious smile and whether it can bring a huge surprise!

After visiting the Mona Lisa room, you will enter the French Oil Painting Museum, where Napoleon's collection is displayed, all of which are very important French oil paintings.

Coming out of the French Oil Painting Museum, it is estimated that it will be the time when the Louvre is closed, and today's Louvre art tour will also end perfectly.

After admiring the last painting in the Grand Gallery, Leonero Sparta's "The Prodigal Son", Ye Tian and the others turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Grand Gallery that connects to the Mona Lisa Room.

Although they have been visiting the Louvre for most of the day, they are still full of energy at this time, and they don't feel half tired.

Each of them is still in high spirits, and they can't wait to see all the top artworks in the Louvre in one day, so that is enjoyable!

Obviously, that's simply not possible!

Seeing them turn around and leave, a visitor at the scene immediately asked curiously:

"Steven, where are you going to visit next? Can we continue to follow you and listen to your explanation? To be honest, your explanation is the most professional and wonderful I have ever heard, and it makes people want to stop!"

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

"Next, we are going to visit the Mona Lisa Room to see the most famous painting in the world and the mysterious smile of the Italian lady.

The Mona Lisa Room is not as big as the big gallery, where space is limited, and there are certainly a lot of visitors gathered in front of the Mona Lisa, so I don't recommend anyone to follow us.

If you continue to follow us and listen to my explanation, it is estimated that the Mona Lisa hall will be blocked in an instant, and there may be an accident.

In view of this, in order to avoid this situation, I will not give any more public explanations!

What else could other visitors say when they heard him say that!

"Okay, Steven, in that case, let's visit on our own, thank you for your explanation, it's really wonderful! It also opened our eyes, today's trip to the Louvre is really worth it!"

The visitor just nodded and said, his tone slightly regretful.

Subsequently, the many visitors who followed Ye Tian and them quickly dispersed and went to visit each other, and the big gallery soon returned to its original appearance.

Ye Tian and the others admired the artworks hanging on the walls of the large gallery, while talking and chatting in a low voice, strolling towards the "Mona Lisa" hall, everyone was very relaxed.

Just as they were about to walk to the entrance of the "Mona Lisa" hall, Ye Tian suddenly felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

He then pulled out his phone and looked at it, it was Martinez calling.

Immediately after, he slid off the screen lock and brought the phone to his ear, and Martinez's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.

"Steven, just now you have been visiting the Grand Gallery, and you are explaining the artworks hanging in the Grand Gallery to the visitors, so I didn't call you, lest I disturb your Yaxing.

I heard the staff of the Grand Gallery say, I just called you after you visited, there is good news to inform you, I believe you will be ecstatic and cheer for it!"

Hearing this, a bright smile immediately bloomed on Ye Tian's face.

What the good news Martinez was talking about, he had guessed in an instant.

"What is the good news? Martinez, have the Musée Guimet relented and agreed to my quid pro quo?"

"That's right, the Guimet Museum has relented and roughly agreed to the quid pro quo you proposed, and they are still discussing the details, and it is estimated that a decision will be made soon.

After lunch, we had a video conference with several of the Guimet high-level executives, and we promised to give away a few heavyweight pieces in exchange for the Guimet Museum's nod of approval.

It seems that our art deal is about to be concluded, and we at the Louvre can't avoid being slaughtered by this guy of yours, and the thought of this makes us feel a lot of pain!"

Martinez said excitedly, where is the feeling of half a point of flesh pain!

"Great! When the Guimet Museum makes a decision, you must contact me as soon as possible, I would like to know what Chinese antiques the Guimet Museum will exchange.

After that, until the museum closes in the evening, we will either visit the Mona Lisa Hall or visit the French Oil Painting Museum, you can come directly to us and visit us, it is very convenient!"

Ye Tian chuckled and whispered, his excited eyes shining brightly.

Almost without thinking, Martinez gave the answer.

"I'll go over to find you then, and at the same time as the news, I also want to hear your explanation, it must be very exciting!"

After chatting a few more words, Ye Tian hung up the phone and ended the call.

Immediately after, the group walked into the Mona Lisa exhibition hall to see the world's most famous painting!
