Ye Tian's location is a high platform, not far from the dome, more than three meters above the ground, with an area of about four or five square meters, and there is no problem with standing a few people at the same time.

On the left and right sides of this platform, there is a set of downward steps, about seventy or eighty centimeters wide, which are connected to the floor of the hall close to the wall, and in front of the platform is a marble parapet about one meter high.

Standing on a high platform and leaning against the railing, with the help of searchlights, you can just overlook the entire hall and see everything in this underground secret room.

After a quick glance at the situation in the hall, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at an oil painting on a wooden board hanging on the wall behind him!

Martinez and the others, too, turned their heads and began to admire the top antique artwork closest to them.

This is a classicist oil painting on wood, the size is not large, about 60*50, the frame is also in the classical style, solemn and elegant!

Like Napoleon's Entry into Vienna, the painting is also covered with a glass cover, which is not badly protected, and the glass cover is covered with dust and looks a little black.

The subject of this oil on wood panel is the Madonna with a baby in her arms, which is a favorite religious subject of classicism!

On a field full of spring, the Virgin in a long dress and a light veil on her head holds the baby in her arms, looking thoughtfully at the outside of the painting, her eyes loving and happy.

The composition of the whole painting is harmonious and reasonable, the color is bright, the atmosphere is harmonious and tranquil, giving people a feeling of beauty and reverie, and it can make people feel reverence.

Unconsciously, everyone has been deeply attracted by this classicist oil painting on wood, and indulged in the wonderful artistic conception created by the painter, unable to extricate themselves!

Countless people in front of the live broadcast were the same, all of them were deeply attracted by this classical painting, and even lost the ability to speak, and there was silence in front of the live broadcast.

After a while, Ye Tian was the first to come to his senses.

Immediately after that, he stepped forward, gently wiped the dust on the glass cover with the soft cloth in his hand, and said softly with a smile:

"Martinez, I don't know if you can tell that this classicist oil on board painting is the work of that artist?"

Hearing this, Martinez immediately came to his senses.

In the next moment, an incomparably bright smile bloomed on his old face, and his excited eyes shone brightly, looking a little scary!

"This is Raphael's work, an oil on wood panel by Raphael around 1505, from the same period as the famous Madonna of Antisius!"

Martinez gave the answer categorically, his voice trembling with excitement.

Before the words fell, the living room above and all the live broadcasts were completely boiling, and people hugged their heads and exclaimed, like crazy.

"Oh my God, I heard you right? This Madonna is actually the work of the famous painter Raphael, one of the three masters of Renaissance art, and if it is true, then it is definitely a priceless work of art!"

"It's crazy, how many top antique artworks are hidden in this underground secret room? I can't imagine that all the top antique artworks in the history of Western art are here!"

In the exclamations one after another, many people's eyes were already red, staring at the live broadcast screen, and they were reluctant to look away for a moment, their eyes were full of envy and even jealousy!

At the same time, in some parts of the Vatican, there was a sudden burst of ecstatic cheers, startling the tourists who were visiting nearby!

Ye Tian nodded lightly, smiled proudly and said:

"Your eyesight is amazing, Martinez, you are a top expert in antique art, and you live up to your name, yes, this is a Madonna by the hand of Raphael, a top artist!

Moreover, this statue of the Virgin can be called one of Raphael's masterpieces, with extraordinary artistic value, not to mention the market value, no worse than Raphael's other famous paintings.

If you can name the exact year of the creation of this oil on board, it means that you know this Madonna very well, Martinez, or you will explain this top work of art?"

Martinez didn't shirk, he first nodded lightly at Ye Tian, and then excitedly began to explain.

Around 1505, Raphael returned to Perugia from Florence and created a series of paintings in Perugia, such as the famous Madonna of Antisius, which also includes this Madonna.

For almost three hundred years, from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Madonna was in the Vatican's collection, never leaving the Holy See, until Napoleon entered Rome, when the painting was brought to Paris.

After Napoleon's defeat, the Pope commissioned the famous neoclassical sculptor Canova to go to Paris to take care of the top antique artworks taken by Napoleon, preparing to welcome back this masterpiece of Raphael.

However, in the list of antique artworks opened by Canova, there is no such image of the Virgin of Raphael, there are some other top antique artworks, and no one knows where these treasures have gone.

For more than 200 years after that, this statue of Raphael's Madonna never appeared again, as if it had evaporated from the world, and there was no news, but who would have thought that it would be hidden here!"

At this point, Martinez couldn't help but step forward and reach out and gently caress the glass cover of the Madonna, with a gentle gesture, like caressing the skin of his first love.

Seeing his expression and this action, Ye Tian and the others couldn't help but shudder together, goosebumps straightened all over their bodies, and the three of them invariably took half a step back.

At this time, the live broadcast end has already boiled again.

Without exception, everyone was shocked by Martinez's explanation, and looked at the statue of the Virgin on the live broadcast screen in amazement.

This is actually a collection that once belonged to the Vatican, and there is such a wonderful story behind it, how much is this oil painting on wood worth?

It is no surprise that because of the appearance of this outstanding painting of Raphael, the Vatican high-level has been completely shaken, and everyone is looking at the live broadcast at this moment, and everyone's eyes are shining!

"Martinez, isn't it time to wake up? There are still many top-notch antique artworks in this underground chamber, waiting for us to discover them, and we will enjoy this statue of the Virgin later!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, waking up Martinez, who was indulging.

"You're right, Steven, there are still a lot of top antique artworks, I really can't delay here for too long, I have to have a good time today, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Martinez nodded excitedly, his face red and his eyes as bright as searchlights.

Then, Ye Tian stepped on the steps that clinged to the wall on the right side and began to walk down, preparing to enter the hall below.

Immediately after, Walker and the three of them followed, each excited and full of anticipation.

As soon as he descended two steps, Martinez couldn't wait to ask:

"Steven, I still have to ask, what are you going to do with this statue of the Virgin by Raphael?

Ye Tian stopped, but he didn't look back, he replied with a smile:

"I can tell you a little bit about the fact that there is not only a statue of the Virgin of Raphael, but also another of the three great masters of Renaissance art, a painting by Michelangelo.

Like this Raphael's masterpiece, that painting by Michelangelo was once in the collection of the Vatican, then fell into the hands of Napoleon, and now it belongs to me!

You may have heard that I'm going to get married in a while, and as for my girlfriend Betty, you already know them, and they are very devout members of the family.

If His Holiness the Pope is willing to go to the United States to officiate at our wedding and to bless my fiancée, I would not mind giving these two top works of art to the Vatican.

I hope to give my fiancée the biggest wedding and let her get the best wishes, and I believe that the Vatican will also want to get back these two top works of art, which is the best of both worlds!"

"What? And a painting by Michelangelo? And you're going to ask the Pope to officiate at your wedding at the cost of two paintings of the Three Masters of Renaissance Art?

Martinez exclaimed loudly, his voice unusually sharp and harsh to listen to.

At this time, Martinez's brain was about to shut down, and he looked at Ye Tian in front of him in a daze, like looking at a madman, his eyes were full of incredulity.

Under the agitation of the mood, he immediately stumbled under his feet, and almost fell down the steps, but fortunately he was pulled by Walker, so he did not become a rolling gourd!

There was a dead silence on the countless live broadcast ends, and everyone was completely stunned by Ye Tian's words, and they were stunned one by one, and even lost the ability to speak.

At the cost of two priceless paintings by the three masters of Renaissance art, inviting the Pope to the United States to preside over the wedding is too big, it is simply shocking!

If this deal does come to fruition, then there is no doubt that this wedding will be the most expensive wedding ever, and it will never be done before!

In comparison, the so-called wedding of the century of those European royal families is not worth mentioning at all, and it is not at the same level at all!

It's just Steven who can do such crazy things, if it were someone else, I don't think I would dare to think about it! Besides, who else can be willing to do it?

Those are two outstanding paintings by the three masters of Renaissance art! A truly priceless and top-notch work of art can only appear on the market for tens or hundreds of years, and it will cause a huge sensation as soon as it appears!

The market value of those two paintings alone is hundreds of millions of dollars, and the combined total value can easily exceed a billion dollars!

Like countless viewers on the live broadcast end, Betty, who was in the living room above, was directly stunned in place, her eyes were round, and her eyeballs were about to fly out of her sockets.

Immediately after, tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't stop it, it was all tears of happiness!

Betty's parents and Logan, who are far away in Boston, USA, are sitting on the sofa at this time, holding their heads and watching the live broadcast of NBC TV, wondering if they have auditory hallucinations just now!

"I have to admit that this is indeed the best of both worlds, and it is also a very cost-effective business, which is worth doing!"

In one of the Vatican's offices, several clergy clergy dressed in clergy uniforms who were watching the live broadcast of the treasure hunt nodded in unison, all with knowing smiles on their faces.
