Château de Fontainebleau, Galleria François I.

Benois left for a while, so Ye Tian once again took on the role of narration, explaining the famous corridor to Betty and the others.

As the name suggests, since it is called the François I Corridor, it means that this famous corridor was built during the Renaissance and was built by the then King François I of France!

Artistically, it is one of the most impressive galleries of the Château de Fontainebleau, known as the Three Halls of the Renaissance, along with the Duchess of Estump and the ballroom built at the same time.

Built around 1530, the Galleria François I is 64 metres long, 6 metres wide and 6 metres high, connecting the residence of François I and the second floor of the Chapel of the Holy Trinity.

The lower part of the corridor is covered with a two-meter-high circle of golden wood carvings as a parapet, and the upper half is set off with a series of exquisite Frescoes with Renaissance style with bright imitation marble figure reliefs.

This makes the murals more prominent, the three-dimensional sense is stronger, and the whole corridor also looks brilliant and elegant, and the murals that decorate this corridor have seven on each side of the left and right, mainly by Rosso!

Rosso was a famous Mannerist painter of the Italian Renaissance, with a very high level of achievement in oil painting and frescoes, and he was also the founder of French Mannerism in the 16th century!

The religious mural in front of us, "Sacrifice", is from the hand of the Renaissance master Rosso, and is an indisputable top work of art with extraordinary artistic value.

We can see that in the center of the fresco, there is an elderly priest and an altar, the priest is facing to the right, and seems to be talking to three women carrying jars.

An elderly man on crutches can be seen on the right, and a man with his back to everyone on the left, and in the foreground is a mother and child, all sitting on the ground.

The most peculiar thing about this fresco is that there are no sacrifices, and the usual explanation is that the sacrifice in the painting is actually a priest who is said to have predicted that François I would inherit the throne.

If this interpretation is correct, combined with the mother and child in the foreground, the theme of the mural may be a foreshadowing of the birth of the future King of France, François I,......"

While explaining, Ye Tian had secretly opened the perspective and looked at the famous Renaissance mural in front of him to see if there was any secret hidden behind it!

As far as the eye could see, the mural in front of him, the wall behind it, and even the room behind the wall, were all seen through by Ye Tian in an instant, and they were all seen at a glance!

On this mural, Ye Tian saw the traces left by the long history, saw Rosso's outstanding artistic talent and painting skills, and even saw the process of the birth of this mural.

However, on this famous Renaissance fresco, he did not find any hidden secrets, nor did he see any miracles related to François I!

It's just a mural of extraordinary artistic value, just a top-notch work of art with a lot of value, nothing more!

On the wall behind the mural, and in the lounge of more than 20 square meters behind the wall, Ye Tian didn't have any surprises to find!

In the room that was once used as Napoleon's chamber, although Ye Tian saw two secret grids, but unfortunately, the two dark grids were empty, and there was not a single hair!

Piercing the walls of the lounge, the next sight is a beautiful, grassy French garden with many tourists resting!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had all this in his eyes, and there was nothing to gain.

Then he withdrew his gaze and continued to explain the mural in front of him to Betty and the others.

Due to time constraints and the fact that the main purpose of visiting the Château de Fontainebleau today is not to see the galleries and the fine Western artworks, even though they are well worth seeing!

The Chinese Pavilion at the same Palace of Fontainebleau, not far from the François I Corridor, and the antique artworks from the Old Summer Palace are on display, which are the main goals of Ye Tian's trip!

In view of this, Ye Tian accelerated the speed of the explanation, and the explanation process was not so detailed, and many places did not carry out detailed explanations!

At the same time, his feet also picked up speed.

In less than two minutes, he finished explaining the "Sacrifice" and then led Betty and the others to the other mural on the right, also "The Expulsion of Ignorance" by Rosso.

For the rest of the day, they admired the rest of the frescoes, ceiling paintings, and various fine decorative arts on either side of the François I Gallery!

Of course, this also includes the capital 'F' lettered on the walnut ceiling, the fleur-de-lis, and the salamander, the symbol of François I!

Engraved on the walnut ceiling, the famous saying of François I, 'I destroy, I feed', Ye Tian also explained it to everyone!

Later, François I's son, Henry II and his queen Catherine Medici, left letters on the walnut ceiling, and a series of jealous jokes!

Ye Tian took all of these as interesting things and explained them to everyone.

After visiting the Galleria François I, the group visited two other parts of the three halls of the Renaissance, the Duchess of Estump and the Ballroom.

In those two rooms, they saw not only Rosso's murals again, but also his paintings!

In addition, they also saw the masterpieces left by the famous Italian painter and sculptor of the Renaissance, Primatigio, who left them at the Château de Fontainebleau, a series of vivid and delicate and decorative frescoes!

In addition to these two Renaissance giants, the famous French painters and sculptors, and several other founders of the Fontainebleau School, such as Couchamp, Caron and Gourjon, also left their works here!

After visiting the third hall of the Renaissance, Ye Tian and the others walked into the emperor's dormitory to visit the places where the French emperors, as well as Napoleon and Josephine lived in the Palace of Fontainebleau.

When they walked into Napoleon's room, everyone saw Napoleon's throne at a glance, golden and extremely eye-catching!

It was a first-of-its-kind circular throne inspired by the Roman Empire and the Carolingian dynasty and designed by the designers of the Louvre!

Napoleon custom-made a total of three thrones of the same style, and this throne placed in the Palace of Fontainebleau was his last custom-made throne!

In the center of this round throne is the initials 'N' of Napoleon's name, and is surrounded by a copper-gilded ring laurel, and the base with pilasters is carved with the same pattern!

The pilasters are topped by two ivory balls as white as jade, carved with diamond motifs, and the cushions are made of dark blue velvet and tartan cloth, with tassel pendants attached to the edges.

Above the throne was a large velvet drapery, and above the curtain was a huge bronze gilded crown, flanked by two golden scepters, the top of which was Napoleon's favorite eagle!

Compared with the simple and solemn throne of the Qing Dynasty emperor in the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, Napoleon's throne exudes the delicacy of Western art and is much smaller!

During the visit, Ye Tian tentatively proposed to sit on Napoleon's throne and feel the taste of being the emperor of France, but was sternly rejected by a group of French people with rolling their eyes!

This has to be said to be a small pity, the French are too incomprehensible!

Of course, during this period, Ye Tian did not forget to take a thorough look at Napoleon's room to see if he could discover any unknown secrets, maybe there would be a surprising discovery!

Unfortunately, although he found the hidden dark room and the secret compartments located in the desk and bookshelf respectively, it was empty, and there was not a single hair!

He even found a secret passage under the study, but the modern lighting equipment and clean floor in that secret passage were enough to explain everything!

Obviously, the French cleaned up the Palace of Fontainebleau very thoroughly, basically leaving no chance for the treasure hunters and Ye Tian!

After visiting Napoleon's room, Ye Tian and the others walked into Josephine's bedroom, and then Napoleon's bedroom, and continued to visit!
