It was really comfortable to have a full Chinese meal, and everyone was very happy to be able to eat Chinese food in a foreign country.

"We Chinese are really amazing, you can see Chinese food wherever you go to any country, and the adaptability of Chinese is really strong!" Meng Wenjie said.

"Yes, I still admire you Chinese, Chinese are hardworking, intelligent, hard-working, these advantages are not possessed by other nationalities, and they are active and very good at doing business." Professor Abner said.

"Yes, we Chinese are indeed like this, this is a large population, fierce competition, honed out!"

"Professor Abner, let's go back, I heard that the Musée d'Orsay is also quite good, let's go and visit!"

"Okay, I've already arranged the return car, let's go back, and then arrange to visit the Musée d'Orsay next Monday. ”

"Good!"

Head Xia Yuxiang took everyone back to the hotel near the Seine, and next Monday, he took everyone to visit the Musée d'Orsay.

The Musée d'Orsay, which was only officially opened to visitors on 9 December 1986, is a former abandoned railway station on the left bank of the Seine, across the river from the Louvre and the Tuileries Gardens.

Walking into the Musée d'Orsay, the tall and spacious vaulted ceiling, all covered with glass, the lighting is very good, the sunlight can shine down from the glass ceiling, the central corridor is in the shape of a ladder, and the large and small exhibition halls are neatly arranged on both sides.

Known as "the most beautiful museum in Europe", the land beneath its feet has undergone numerous changes.

Listening to Professor Abner tell everyone about the history of this museum, everyone was also full of emotion, a lot of things have happened in the long years, although the years have passed, but many objects left behind, are sealed with historical memories.

In order to achieve a comprehensive exhibition, the museum has a large collection of works of art from different countries, many others from the Louvre. Architecture, sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, cinema, and decorative arts are all on display here.

"Wow, we're here, it's really the right place, Captain Xia, there are really a lot of good things in France!" Qu Lihua admired.

"Yes, this is called 'the most beautiful museum in Europe', and everyone is blessed with it today, this is a rare opportunity, everyone should take a closer look!"

"Formerly a long-abandoned railway station, the museum was designed by architect Victor La Rue, rich and bold, who advocated respect for the original structure, preserving the original columns, cast iron beams and imitation marble decoration, and the architectural style of the new station echoing the elegance of the Louvre and Tuileries Palace gardens on the other side," said Professor Abner. ”

"Due to the continuous advancement of science and technology, the electric trains are getting longer and longer, and it is clear that the platform of the original 138-meter-long station can no longer meet the needs of the time. When it had to be converted into a suburban train line, which gradually became an empty station that was not frequented until it was abandoned, the Parisians came up with a number of ideas on how to make use of the well-designed train station. ”

"On December 1, 1986, after nearly eight years of construction, the newly renovated milky white mansion opened its doors for the first time to welcome visitors from all directions. ”

"With a collection of thousands of modern works of art, it is the place with the largest collection of major Impressionist paintings in the world, with paintings, sculptures and decorative arts, among which there are works by Van Gogh, Gaugan, Ingres, Dracolois, Monet, etc. ”

Qu Lihua's eyes widened, there was a rare opportunity to see the European art she wanted to see, she had never had the opportunity to see it before, she rarely went abroad, this was her first time in France.

The museum mainly displays Western art works created between 1848 and 1914, gathering the essence of modern French culture and art, filling the gap between ancient art and modern art in the history of French culture and art, and making the Musée d'Orsay a perfect intermediate transition between the Louvre, the ancient art palace, and the Pompidou Center, the modern art palace.

The exhibits at the Musée d'Orsay are located on the ground, middle and top floors of the hall according to the artist's age and genre.

On the ground floor are paintings, sculptures and decorative arts from 1850 to 1870, among which there are works by Ingres, Delacroix, Degas, Monet, Rodin, etc.

On the middle floor are works from 1870 to 1914, including official art, symbolism, academic painting, and decorative arts from the Art Nouveau period.

The top floor is dedicated to the works of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters, and is the place with the largest collection of major Impressionist paintings in the world.

At the end of the hall, there is a group of beautiful sculptures called "The Four Directions of the World", which is four beautiful women, holding up a globe together, and from this work you can vaguely feel the characteristics of the French nation advocating women.

Qu Lihua consulted Professor Abner, and Professor Abner said: "There are many goddesses in France, advocating women, and believing that women are symbols of purity and kindness, and there are many excellent women and heroines, leading everyone to pursue the truth and have the courage to resist the spirit, which is very shocking!"

In art, people broke through the shackles of the traditional academic realistic style, and explored more new paths, such as impressionism, post-impressionism and fauvism, which had a very far-reaching impact on the art world.

In addition to the famous artists in France, the author also has young painters from other European countries, even some young painters who are not famous, as well as sculptures, and the most noteworthy is of course Rodin's works, which are beautiful shapes, rigid and soft lines, giving people the enjoyment of beauty, and photographic works also account for a large proportion.

Take a closer look at the exhibits from more than a dozen countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Italy, and Germany, in addition to furniture, movies, music, and exhibits.

Qu Lihua stood in front of the display case, admiring, Xia Yuxiang came over, Qu Lihua said: "Xia Tuan, we are really right to come to this museum today, after seeing so many works, I found that French painting is really impressive, painters have keen observation skills, they are very good at oil painting, the characters are appropriate, the painter is very good at grasping the demeanor, the pen is like a god!"

"Yes, these paintings are selected, each one has their characteristics, and they have gone through the precipitation and test of the years, the bad works have long been eliminated, only those who are well painted, and have carried out artistic sublimation, the masterpieces of artists who can be famous at that time, can be preserved for a long time, and people can stand here to appreciate its value moment. ”

"As future generations, we should indeed retain a heart of awe, earnestly learn the advantages of other masters, and apply their pursuit of art to our work!"
