After listening to the opera, Oliver took everyone to visit the Brera Palace of Fine Arts.

When it comes to the Brera Art Palace, Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie have both heard of it, and they are very happy to be able to come and see it with their own eyes.

"Head Xia, when I was in China, I heard of the Brera Art Palace, which is said to be full of paintings by many Renaissance masters. ”

"It is one of the most important art museums in the world, exhibiting paintings from the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods, as well as modern art from the 20th century. ”

Oliver said: "Yes, in addition to the masterpieces of the Renaissance, there are also works of modern Italian painters, there are a lot of collections here, you can see the ancient and modern, you can look at the design outside this palace of fine arts, I think the design of this building is also unique." ”

Qu Lihua looked up, this palace of fine arts, like a gorgeous palace, the appearance is like a fairy tale, white typical European architecture, solid and upright, delicate windows, decorated into a circle with lace, oblong arches, many pointed roofs as a characteristic decoration, towering around, to set off the solemnity and elegance of the main building.

Further inside, there are two floors of buildings inside, with two long columns on both sides of the circular arch, which are increased to three columns at the corner, which is very elegant and artistic as a decoration.

Standing in front of him was a cyan sculpture, a strong man bowed his head, holding a long bamboo pole, his clothes were naturally draped on his oblique back, his strong body was well-proportioned, very lined, below was a cyan base, and there was a white rectangular stone tablet below.

There is also a small figure statue on each side, echoing each other from afar, and the statues have different expressions and movements, which bring out the artistic characteristics of the Art Palace.

Oliver told everyone that the most conspicuous cyan sculpture in the middle is a tall bronze statue of Napoleon I, holding a symbol of victory in his right hand and a power battle in his left hand, designed and cast by the neoclassical master Ann Carno.

It seems that it was still under the influence of Napoleon I, and Oliver told everyone that Napoleon I had been here before, and his influence was still great in France and Italy.

Napoleon was also a very fond of art, he came to Italy, and he was very fond of many exquisite paintings and artworks, and he took them back to the Louvre Museum in France, and later returned some of them.

Qu Lihua remembered that she had visited the Louvre Museum in France before, and it was indeed splendid, and Napoleon spent a lot of money to build the Louvre, and treasured many art treasures there.

"The emperor of France really appreciates works of art, and he also knows the goods, and hides those valuable and artistic works of art in his palace!"

"What he can see is very artistic, his palace is very luxurious, Italy at that time also brought a lot of paintings, and then returned some, now it is not easy to treasure in this art palace, some Italian painting masters are also very famous, Italy wants to preserve its history and culture as much as possible, so that future generations can see. Oliver said.

Entering the exhibition hall, Qu Lihua was immediately attracted by many paintings of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods.

"Wow, I didn't expect there to be so many paintings, and if it wasn't for Oliver's explanation, I probably wouldn't know where to start. ”

Meng Wenjie also smiled, "We only understand a little, Oliver and Captain Xia are more proficient in Renaissance painting, we are laymen, so we will watch it lively!"

Oliver smiled, "It's okay, art has no borders, calm down, you stand in front of the painting, look slowly, you can talk to the painter, the painter has integrated his thoughts and understanding of life into his painting creation, Miss Qu and Mr. Meng, you are very young and smart, I believe you can understand!"

With Oliver's encouragement, Qu Lihua was able to calm down, and she patiently looked at the past one by one, each of these Renaissance paintings was different, the characters were different, the demeanor and behavior were different, and the themes expressed were different.

There are thousands of paintings in the whole gallery, as well as many other sculptures and artifacts from BC, Picasso, Braque, Bernard and other masters are very good at painting, the characters are lifelike, very infectious, standing in front of these paintings, you will feel that the whole heart is quiet, and the hustle and bustle of the city is cut off.

Art is really a very magical thing, it seems that Mozart's music is ringing in my ears just now, the paintings of these masters are very penetrating and infectious, really as Oliver said, as long as you calm down and appreciate carefully, you can understand and feel the meaning of the painting.

Many of the works of Tintoretto, an important figure of the Venetian school, "The Miracle of San Marco" and Raphael's "The Marriage of the Holy Madonna", are colorful and harmonious, full of musicality, as if the wedding was carried out in music, which fully shows the artist's artistic attainment.

Raphael's "The Marriage of the Virgin Mary", "Madonna and Child", and Mantinia's "Sacred Martyrdom", these paintings left a deep impression on Qu Lihua, and Oliver patiently introduced them to everyone, introducing the birth of the painters and their experiences.

"If you want to know more about it, you need to introduce the life of the painter, a great painter who can create artistic paintings that are recognized by the world, and it is inseparable from the family he was born into, the environment in which he grew up, and his experience when he grew up. ”

"Italy is the origin of the Renaissance, at that time was advanced, many painting masters were also influenced by the Renaissance at that time, they actively engaged in social practice, in the practice to meet a lot of like-minded friends, there are good teachers and friends, but also know how to paint teachers, by the guidance, will be a very high level of painters, communicate with each other, and meet some bosom friends. ”

"I met the encouragement and support of my lover and family, experienced some twists and turns and ups and downs in life, came into contact with the lower class people, experienced the ups and downs of life, and their creations were influenced by Western religions, and there will be some Western mythological figures, as well as religious figures. ”

For example, Our Lady, on the one hand, praises the Virgin Mary for her kindness and care for children, but also embodies the softness and kindness of human nature, in Western paintings, they all regard women as the embodiment of purity and kindness, and praise the truth, goodness and beauty between people, and some painters vividly reflect the evil of human nature, such as "The Last Supper", the characters in the picture are frightened, angry, suspicious, confessional and other demeanors, as well as gestures, eyes and behaviors, are depicted in fine detail and vividly. ”

Qu Lihua listened to Oliver's explanation, and gradually understood something, very rewarding, the more I watched, the more I respected these Italian painting masters, it was not easy to create such works in their time.
