After a long time, Ye Tiancai waved goodbye to those famous ancient philosophers, walked out of the artistic conception of the painting "School of Athens", and came to his senses.

Then, he turned his head to look at Betty, who was still obsessed, and Anderson, who was also obsessed with the artistic conception of the painting.

"Bang Bang"

Ye Tian clapped his palms lightly, trying to wake Betty and the others.

It's already around seven o'clock in the evening, and there are several exhibition halls and many top antique artworks waiting to be visited.

Even if Raphael's Academy of Athens is a breathtaking and breathtaking piece of art, you can't afford to spend too much time here.

And indulging in the artistic conception created by the painting for a long time, although it feels very wonderful, it is also a laborious thing.

With Ye Tian's applause, Betty and Anderson immediately woke up and walked out of the wonderful artistic conception of "The Academy of Athens".

The next moment, the entire 'Signature Hall' was directly boiling, and exclamations rang out, one after another.

"Wow, it's so spectacular, it's amazing, I seem to have heard Plato and Aristotle debating just now, but I don't know what the debate is about."

"I can't believe how Raphael created such a great work? These great sages in ancient history were actually brought together by him with a fresco, and it was so harmonious!"

After a burst of amazement and emotion, Betty and Anderson turned their heads to look at Ye Tian in unison, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.

Betty, what their intentions are, Ye Tian naturally knows it.

He glanced at the crowd, then turned to look at the Academy of Athens a few meters in front of him, and began to explain.

"The School of Athens, one of Raphael's greatest works, created between 1510 and 1511, is one of the most outstanding frescoes in the entire Raphael studio.

In 1509, Raphael was commissioned by Pope Julius II to paint here, on the themes of theology, philosophy, poetry, and jurisprudence, and this painting of the School of Athens represents philosophy.

The theme of The School of Athens is to herald the revival of the rational spirit nurtured from the soil of ancient Greece and Rome, and it is also the artist's concentrated praise for those who seek wisdom and truth among mankind.

People appreciate this painting as if they have entered the vast and profound world of human civilization, from the ancient Greek period to the Renaissance movement, they can clearly see the development of Western civilization.

The fresco is based on Plato's story of the Academy of Athens, but Plato's Academy of Athens was set in an outdoor forest, and Raphael moved it to a tall and magnificent classical building.

Raphael's alteration had its own reason, and he wanted to use the sublime sense of classical architecture to create a noble atmosphere of the environment, so as to more favorably enhance the great dramatic effect of this ancient sage page.

The mural, which is more than 7 meters long at the bottom, makes clever use of the wall in front of it, painting the outer frame of the semicircular wall as a huge arch, and drawing two layers of platforms below the mural to create a sense of depth.

Through this technique, Raphael skillfully integrates the classical architecture and the actual architecture in the painting, so that the viewer can visually distinguish between the real building and the building in the painting.

Standing in the hall and admiring this mural, it is easy to create an illusion, and the many sages in this mural are as if they were living in real space, giving people a sense of intimacy.

I feel this way now, I seem to be standing with these sages, Plato and Aristotle seem to be coming towards me, and the sound of their debate seems to linger in my ears,......"

While explaining, Ye Tian also secretly opened the perspective and began to explore this Raphael's masterpiece and the wall that houses this mural, and explore the secrets hidden behind this mural.

As far as the eye could see, the mural in front of him, as well as the wall behind it, were instantly seen through by Ye Tian, and there was no secret to speak of.

He began to investigate the center of the painting, where Plato and Aristotle were.

When he saw Plato's finger pointing to the sky, it was as if he saw a world of ideas, and the core part of Plato's philosophical system was that "ideas are the spiritual foundation of the world."

Aristotle, who was standing next to him debating with Plato, had the palm of his right hand pointing downwards towards the ground.

From this action, Ye Tian seems to see that Aristotle is saying: 'Reason is the foundation'.

According to Aristotle, beauty is order, uniformity, and certainty, and ideas and ideas are inseparable from their substance.

Just this partial picture of the two great Greek philosophers made Ye Tian fall to the ground with the five bodies that Raphael admired, and he was shocked.

Here, Raphael's success in presenting the main ideas of the ancient Greek schools of Platoism and Aristotle, as well as the conflict between the two schools, is nothing short of miraculous!

How many people have been able to do this, throughout the ages? That's why Raphael is great.

In addition to secretly marveling, Ye Tian's gaze directly penetrated the surface of the mural and looked deeper.

In Plato and Aristotle, as well as the two hands that point to the heavens and the earth and are famous in the history of art, Ye Tian did not find any secrets or secret secrets, everything was natural and flawless!

Obviously, even a master of art such as Raphael, who was extremely narcissistic, had reverence for the two great sages, Plato and Aristotle, and did not hide any secrets from them.

However, on the sketch covered by the fresco, on the floor between Plato and Aristotle, Ye Tian saw Raphael's Latin signature, covered with layers of oil paint.

This is also a small secret, but unfortunately it cannot be made public, and can only be enjoyed by Ye Tian.

Perhaps in Raphael's view, he was not on the same level at all compared with these two great sages, and could only look up at Plato and Aristotle in a posture of worship.

This can also be seen from Raphael's position in the painting.

He painted himself in the most marginal, inconspicuous position, and showed only one face, which was a rare modesty!

In addition to the secret signature left by Raphael, on this mural and on the wall behind it, Ye Tian also discovered some secrets, such as traces of alterations, hidden characters, and so on.

All these secrets have to do with this great fresco, and don't point to anything else, like a hidden treasure somewhere.

In the process of perspective, Ye Tian seemed to see with his own eyes that Raphael was standing in front of this wall with a paintbrush in his hand, standing on the scaffolding, and unleashing his amazing talent!

As the paintbrush in his hand fell on the wall again and again, the masterpiece of "The School of Athens" became complete little by little, and gradually appeared in front of Ye Tian's eyes.

The whole creative process is mesmerizing, and every stroke of the brush is heartwarming and sparkling with an incomparably brilliant genius.

Time is passing little by little, and Ye Tian's wonderful explanation has gradually come to an end.

“...... The School of Athens is the most magnificent and splendid of all Raphael's works, and the figures in the painting are plump and burly, and their epic majesty is also extremely rare in his works.

Despite its large scale and large number of figures, it is not cluttered at all, and Raphael brings out his talent for portraiture and composition as a whole.

It is precisely because of Raphael's imagination that we can appreciate such a great work that gathers ancient philosophers, and can we realize the noble ideals of the golden age of ancient humanities in an immersive way.

This painting "The Academy of Athens" is a document left by Raphael for posterity, recording the most glorious 'golden age' in history, and it is also an unsurpassable pinnacle in the history of Western art."

After the explanation, Ye Tianqing's voice disappeared.

The room was completely silent, except for the sound of breathing and heartbeats.

Without exception, everyone at the scene was once again completely attracted by the "School of Athens" in front of them, indulged in it, and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.

It took a long time for everyone to come to their senses and walk out of the "School of Athens" and out of the tall and magnificent classical building in the painting.

Then they quietly admired this masterpiece for a while, and then Ye Tian and the others turned to leave, turned to another wall next to them, and began to appreciate the "Three Virtues Map" painted on that wall and representing the law study.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the twilight gradually swallowed up the whole of Rome, and the sky became darker and darker!

After visiting the last hall of Raphael's studio and the many murals and sculptures displayed in the 'Fire Hall', Ye Tian and the others walked out of this exhibition hall with great satisfaction.

Coming to the corridor outside the exhibition hall, Ye Tian looked left and right at the situation in the corridor and looked at the dim sky outside through the window.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand to look at the time, and then smiled and said to the people around him;

"It's getting late, so let's stop here today, the few remaining exhibition halls, as well as the famous Sistine Chapel, let's visit tomorrow and admire the priceless antique artworks.

The Sistine Chapel, in particular, can only be visited during the day! Before you know it, everyone has been in the museum for a whole afternoon, and they must be a little tired, and it is time to go back and have a good rest!"

Naturally, no one objected to Ye Tian's proposal, and everyone nodded in response.

Afterwards, led by Leonardo, everyone walked towards the exit of the museum.

When everyone walked down the spiral passage at the exit of the museum and came to the outside of the museum, Ye Tian saw a few familiar old friends at a glance, as well as a group of strangers in suits and leather shoes.

Obviously, those old friends with gloomy faces were waiting for Ye Tian and them, they should have waited for a long time, and their expressions were somewhat anxious!

The same goes for the strangers in suits, who seem more anxious and angry.

Seeing that Ye Tian and the others finally came out of the museum, those guys seemed to be relieved, and then those old friends stepped out and walked over to Ye Tian and them.

As for the rest, they were stopped by the Vatican police and several members of the Swiss Guard, and they had to stop outside the cordon!
