Chapter 2171: True and False Statues

"How is this possible? Michelangelo's Madame de Bruges, isn't it in the church of Our Lady of Bruges, Belgium? How can it be here? And it has been hidden here for more than seventy years!"

Derek exclaimed directly, his eyes widened and his expression extremely exaggerated.

Not only him, Walker, and many people on the live broadcast side, but anyone who knows anything about Michelangelo's "Madame Bruges" has a stunned expression at this time.

Without exception, everyone looked at Ye Tian, expecting his answer.

Ye Tian glanced at the subordinates around him, and then said loudly with a smile:

"If the statue in front of us is really Michelangelo's Madame de Bruges, then it would be fun, and the Madame de Bruges in the Church of Our Lady of Bruges, Belgium, and this statue, must be a replica.

The specific statue is an imitation, and that statue is the original work of the top artist Michelangelo, let's go over and take a look, as long as I see this famous statue, I can draw the most accurate identification conclusions."

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already stepped out and walked towards the marble statue in front of him.

Behind him, Walker and Derek immediately followed, both excited and full of anticipation.

During the process, Ye Tian once again assumed the role of commentary, introducing Michelangelo's "Madame de Bruges" to Walker and countless people in front of the live broadcast

"Madame de Bruges, a sculpture by Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504, whose real name is Madonna and Child, is a work of art that deserves to be of the highest quality.

Soon after the marble statue was created, it was brought to the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium, so that this outstanding work by Michelangelo was also called "Madame de Bruges".

In addition, the statue has another name, 'Madonna of Bruges', because the image of the Virgin Mary in this statue resembles the Madonna of pop music, hence the name.

From the beginning of the 16th century until 1944, the statue was in the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium, where the Germans forcibly took it away when they retreated from Belgium in 1944.

When stealing Michelangelo's "Madame de Bruges", in order to avoid public anger and to hide people's eyes, the Germans used Red Cross trucks to smuggle the statue away, and took great pains.

A year later, after the defeat of Germany, Madame de Bruges was discovered in a mine and sent back to Belgium, where it remained in the Church of Our Lady of Bruges for decades.

Now it seems that the statue that was sent back to Belgium may not be the real "Madame Bruges", of course, there is also this possibility, and the "Madame Bruges" hidden here is a fake"

Speaking of which, Derek suddenly interjected:

"If there must be a copy of one of the two statues, who copied Michelangelo's Madame de Bruges? Who can perfectly copy Michelangelo's work without revealing any flaws for decades?"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at this kid, then said with a smile:

With Hitle's fanatical pursuit of the works of the three great masters of Renaissance art, it is entirely possible that he would order a copy of Michelangelo's work, and then make a fool of himself.

During World War II, the whole of Germany was under the rule of Hitle, and there was no shortage of top talents in carving, so it was not too difficult to copy a work by Michelangelo!"

As they spoke, the group had already arrived in front of the statue of "Madame de Bruges", and they all stood still and admired it.

At this time, the outside world is already like a boiling pot, and it is very lively.

Especially Belgium and the historic city of Bruges.

All the Belgians and citizens of Bruges who were watching the live broadcast were stunned, and they all held their heads in their hands, their eyes full of incredulity, as if they could not believe what they had just heard.

"How is it possible? The Madame de Bruges in the Church of Our Lady is a replica, Michelangelo's original work is hidden deep underground in the Temple Palace in Berlin, and has not seen the light of day for more than 70 years, which is simply a fantasy!"

"God forbid! I hope Madame de Bruges in the Church of Our Lady is Michelangelo's original, not a fake, this top-notch work of art will be in trouble if it falls into the hands of that bastard at Steven."

Unlike ordinary people, many professionals who have studied "Madame Bruges" showed a thoughtful expression at this time, and even a look of surprise flashed on their faces.

At this time, the Belgian government, as well as the city of Bruges, quickly took action after a shock.

"Immediately contact the ambassador and cultural counsellor of the embassy in Germany and ask them to rush to the site of the Temple Palace immediately, and if the statue is really Michelangelo's original, then be sure to stare at the statue.

It is a Belgian national treasure, belonging to the Belgian people, and one of the symbols of Bruges, which must not fall into the hands of Steven's greedy bastard, nor in the hands of the Germans!

Steven, a greedy bastard who previously ransacked Brussels and Antwerp, swept away a huge amount of top-notch antique art from these two Belgian cities, and this must never happen again

The same scene is playing out in the office of the Belgian Prime Minister and the mayor of Bruges.

With a few phone calls, the relevant personnel of the Belgian Embassy in Germany immediately took action, rushed out of the embassy directly, and drove straight to the Temple Palace.

And those high-level government officials in Belgium, as well as professionals in the field of antique art collection, and even all Belgians, are eagerly waiting for Ye Tian's appraisal conclusion.

Because of the crazy sacking of Brussels and Antwerp last year, many Belgians hate Ye Tian to the root of their teeth, but they have no doubts about his ability to identify antique artworks.

These Belgians knew in their hearts that as long as that bastard Steven said that the statue of Madame de Bruges hidden in the depths of the Temple Palace was Michelangelo's real work, it would never be wrong!

I hope that the result is not like that, otherwise, Belgium will definitely not escape the tragic fate of being looted again, and the person who did the looting of Belgium is Steven's greedy bastard again.

And this time it was replaced by a Belgian city, a historical and cultural city of Bruges, did the Belgians owe that bastard and deserve to be looted again and again?

Preparations for a video conference call have been completed in a makeshift conference room next to the hall of the Temple Palace, and all those involved in the meeting are seated on either side of a long conference table.

At the north end of this long conference table, a white projection screen hangs on which the ongoing exploration is played, and the picture is quite clear.

Seeing that everything was ready, David immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, and was ready to inform Ye Tian that the video conference call could start.

At this moment, the German Chancellor, who was sitting opposite, suddenly interjected:

"There is no need to inform Mr. Steven, it doesn't matter if the video conference call starts later, I would love to hear his conclusions, and I want to know if this Madame de Bruges is Michelangelo's original"

For this kind of request, David naturally will not refuse.

He smiled and nodded, then put the walkie-talkie in his hand back on the table, and looked at the live broadcast screen on the projection screen with interest.

Inside the underground palace, the exploration continues.

At Ye Tian's suggestion, Walker and Derek wiped "Madame de Bruges" with a soft cloth, and basically wiped off the dust and moss that fell on the surface of the statue.

With their movements, the famous "Madame de Bruges" is once again presented to the public after more than 70 years.

It is a marble sculpture in the classical style, based on a biblical story, depicting the Virgin Mary and the young Jesus, with the Virgin Mary as the main character.

The Virgin Mary sat on a chair with the young Jesus in her arms, her eyes fixed on the ground in front of her, her eyes focused and loving, as if lost in thought.

At the same time, she gently held the young Jesus in her right hand to prevent him from falling to the ground due to naughtiness, and placed her left hand on her lap, full of maternal radiance, holy and great.

As mentioned before, this statue of the Virgin Mary does look a bit like the Madonna of pop music from some angles, with a touch of modernity in love and holiness.

The carving of this statue is very skillful, and the sculptor uses the carving knife in his hand to create a near-perfect sculpture, creating a perfect image of the Virgin.

Standing in front of this marble statue can even make people feel a little urge to worship.

In fact, Derek and another guy at the scene, as well as many devout believers on the live broadcast end, have already begun to draw crosses on their chests and whisper prayers after seeing this statue of the Virgin!

Of course, this does not include Ye Tian, he just simply appreciates it.

What's more, in his eyes, this marble statue radiates a dazzling yellow light, beautiful and dazzling, and outside the yellow light, there is a charming halo of up to twenty layers.

And these reveal the age of this statue with great accuracy, as well as the incomparably great artistic value.

Whose work could it be, apart from Michelangelo, who could create such a classical sculpture?

After a moment of quiet appreciation, he gave his own conclusion.

"Guys, I'm sure that the marble statue in front of me, Madame de Bruges, is definitely Michelangelo's original, and the statue in the church of Our Lady of Bruges is a fake concocted by Hit's order!"

Before the words could be spoken, there was a cheer from Walker and Derek.

At this time, Belgium was completely drowned out by exclamations that bordered on madness!
