Chapter 1396 The world-famous hall
Time passed quickly, and it was about four o'clock in the afternoon.
After visiting the Diana Hall, the God of War Hall, the Mercury Hall, the Apollo Hall, the War Hall, and the Peace Hall, Ye Tian and the others walked into the Coronation Hall and stood in front of the "Napoleonic Coronation Ceremony" again.
In order to save time on the visit, in the past few hours, Ye Tian and the others have not left the Palace of Versailles, and even for lunch, they have been hastily dealt with in the dining area of the palace.
The Palace of Versailles is so big, and there are so many antiques and works of art on display that even if they visit it non-stop, they won't be able to see all the treasures in the palace in one day.
As for the huge French garden outside, as well as the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon, the Swiss Farmstead and other attractions in the back garden, you can only look at it from afar!
These sites are also well worth visiting, but it's obviously not possible today, so you have to wait until the next time you visit the Palace of Versailles!
After standing in front of the "Coronation of Napoleon I", Ye Tian pointed to this huge painting that everyone was already very familiar with, and said with a smile:
"In the Louvre before, we visited another painting of the Coronation of Napoleon I, which is basically the same as this one, with one very slight difference.
If you take a closer look, what is the difference between this outstanding painting, also by the neoclassical master Jacques-Louis David, and the one in the Louvre?"
With Ye Tian's words, Betty and the others immediately began to look for the difference between the two paintings, and they were all full of interest, their eyes shining brightly!
Soon, Betty excitedly said:
"I saw that it was the woman in the red gauze dress, and in the Louvre's Coronation of Napoleon, she was wearing a white gauze dress! That was Napoleon's favorite sister, Pollina, right?"
Ye Tian nodded lightly and gave an affirmative reply.
That's right, that's Napoleon's favorite sister, Polina, and the only difference between the two Napoleonic coronations, and the rest of the world is exactly the same!
Why is this difference happening? According to legend, David has always been infatuated with Polina, so he drew two Polina wearing dresses of different colors!"
At the same time as saying this, Ye Tian had already turned on the perspective again and began to scan the neoclassical masterpiece in front of him to see if he could find any new surprises!
On the "Coronation of Napoleon" in the Louvre, he found the words "15 Avenue Chanunes", and found the treasure of Napoleon that had been hidden for 200 years!
It would be perfect if you could find a hidden address in the Palace of Versailles, the Coronation of Napoleon, and then find a Napoleonic treasure!
Obviously, Ye Tian thought too much, and he was a little too greedy!
After a quick look at the painting, he saw only the words '15 Avenue Chanunez' in the same position, and no other hidden secrets!
Unwillingly, he once again scanned this neoclassical masterpiece in perspective, not missing any corner, not even a single fiber on the canvas!
But alas, the result is still the same, nothing and disappointing!
Sure that this painting could not bring new surprises to him, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective!
Next, he began to secretly absorb the aura, from these French national treasure-level antique artworks, crazy to absorb nutrients, in order to supplement his own needs, and strengthen himself!
In the process, he didn't show any abnormalities, and he didn't look much different from the other tourists, but a little more professional!
By the time they walked out of the War Gallery, Ye Tian had unknowingly completed the work of absorbing the aura, and the aura in his eyes was about to overflow, and his body and mind were extremely comfortable!
Immediately after absorbing the aura, he secretly tested it to find out how far his ability had progressed!
While admiring the scenery of the back garden of the Palace of Versailles, he easily completed the test with the sculptures and fountains dotted with sculptures and fountains in the back garden!
After this action of absorbing the aura, he saw that the distance of the light of the antique artwork had increased dramatically again, and it had reached one hundred and ten meters!
In other words, the distance he can fully control has been expanded to one hundred and ten meters, and within the radius of this length, he can completely take what he wants, like a god!
The ability to see through objects has also increased greatly, and several antique art warehouses above and below the ground and underground of the Palace of Versailles have been seen through by him at a glance, and there are no secrets to speak of!
At the same time, he again discovered several secret passages deep underground, some leading to the emperor's bedroom, some to the church, and some to the quarters of the guards.
The longest of these passages, from Louis XIV's residence to the Grand Trianon, was apparently the secret passage that Louis XIV used to have an affair with his mistress, Madame de Montenon!
Except for one secret passage that has been abandoned, the rest of the secret passages have long been discovered by the Palace of Versailles, which has been cleaned up and installed with modern lighting equipment!
Even in that abandoned secret passage, Ye Tian didn't find any valuable antique artworks, only a few seventeenth-century bronze candlesticks, which were not of much value!
After testing his perspective ability, Ye Tian retracted his gaze with satisfaction, and completely turned into a tourist, visiting the beautiful and luxurious Palace of Versailles with great interest!
As for the extent to which the physical fitness has improved, it is obviously impossible to test it at the Palace of Versailles, and you can't rush out of the exhibition hall to lift the statue of the sea god in the back garden, which is too shocking!
If you want to test the extent of your physical fitness, you can only wait until you return to the hotel and then test it at the gym!
It is completely conceivable that Ye Tian at this time is likely to have surpassed the limits of human beings!
After leaving the War Gallery, Ye Tian and the others immediately came to the famous Palace of Versailles Hall of Mirrors, also known as the Hall of Mirrors!
This is the most famous hall of the Palace of Versailles, in the south of the War Hall, west of the back garden of the Palace of Versailles, remodeled by a loggia, 73 meters long, 12 meters high, 10 meters wide, is a very spectacular corridor!
One side of the Hall of Mirrors is 17 huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows facing the back garden, and the other side is 17 huge mirrors composed of 483 mirrors.
The ceiling of this famous hall is adorned with 24 huge bohemian crystal chandeliers, which are dazzling in their ultimate luxury!
On the dome is a huge oil painting by the famous French painter Le Blanc, which is swaying and imposing, showing a turbulent historical picture.
The floor is carved in fine wood, the walls are decorated with lilac and white marble veneer, the pillars are in green marble, and the capital, base and parapet are all gilded in brass!
These marble columns, as well as many gilded candlesticks and various other objects, are decorated with motifs of the sun with its wings outstretched, a sign of reverence for Louis XIV.
In the Hall of Mirrors, you can see exquisite sculptures of various styles and carved in various eras everywhere, standing on both sides of the Hall of Mirrors, each sculpture has extraordinary artistic value and is fascinating!
Standing in the Hall of Mirrors, you can not only enjoy the exquisite architecture and decorative arts, the magnificent huge murals, but also the beautiful scenery in the back garden of the Palace of Versailles outside the window, with an excellent view!
As soon as they walked into this resplendent hall, Ye Tian and the others were completely shocked by everything that appeared in front of them, without exception!
It took a moment for the group to come to their senses.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of exclamations and sighs of emotion immediately sounded.
No wonder the Bourbon royal family will be overthrown, and the point of poverty and luxury will reach such a point that it will come to an end!"
"This is the Hall of Mirrors, the most famous hall of the Palace of Versailles, the jewel of the French royal family, and it really lives up to its name, and it is really an eye-opener today!"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at Betty and the others, nodded with a smile and said:
"That's right, this is the Hall of Mirrors, a famous hall where countless events have taken place in history, where successive Bourbon monarchs have received envoys from various countries and where grand masquerade balls have been held.
In 1871, King Wilhelm I of Prussia was crowned Emperor of Germany here, disgraced France!
In 1783, after the American Revolution, Britain and the United States signed the Treaty of Paris here, and on June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed here, marking the end of World War I.
It is no exaggeration to say that every floor and mirror in the Hall of Mirrors has witnessed countless major historical moments, let's go and enjoy this world-famous hall!"
After speaking, Ye Tian took Betty and walked towards the Hall of Mirrors, and the others immediately followed!
