Chapter 56: Turned into Eternity
In the middle of the 18th century, the temple of Vest was excavated from the ruins, and the creative boom on the theme of Vest lasted for more than 50 years.
Raphilo Monti was commissioned by a duke to make a statue of the Virgin of West. The statues of the priestesses are naturally veiled with holiness like the nuns, virgins, and maidens of the Crucifixion.
In fact, the sequence of this is also relatively difficult to examine.
In the end, it was the Veil of the Maiden of Vestre that came before the veil of the nun and the Virgin. Or conversely, under the influence of Cruciception, it was later the statue of the priestess of West, who was suggested to use the form of a veil to show its purity.
It's a chicken-and-egg issue.
After all, Cruciception was born in ancient Rome, and it is normal for religions to penetrate and influence each other.
Eventually, Rafhiro accepted the task and set about making the statue.
To make a perfect sculpture of the veil, you first need to shape a clay tire according to the draft, and pinch out the girl's facial features and veil on it. The inverted mould is then made into a plaster statue, and further carving creations are carried out on the plaster cast, making it a perfect veil sculpture.
Finally, according to the size and proportions of the plaster statue, an identical veil sculpture is carved into the marble.
The undulations of the veil, every tiny fold, need to be carefully carved and eventually polished with marble to achieve the ultimate classic.
The perfect sculpture also requires time and effort to match it before it can finally take shape.
But that's creation, a creation from scratch, which naturally requires painstaking effort.
Bai Ye is different, he is "borrowing".
There are ready-made works, he is in the original time and space, I don't know how many times he has reproduced it. Now it only needs to make a few changes to make it conform to Tom's daughter's physical features, which is not a difficult task.
So ten days is more than enough.
As for why, I chose to make the statue in this style.
There is no doubt on the first point, Director Yang guessed correctly, that is, he simply wanted to show off his skills. Under his hands, the hard marble, like tofu and dough, was kneaded and shaped by him.
This kind of sculpture skill is no longer as simple as solid, but superb, perfect, and the peak.
Don't be surprised, Shiraba has such a ability.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to make the studio prosperous in the original time and space, and he also relied on his ability to eat. The fierce and cruel competition in the market made him have no room for opportunism at all.
Some people may wonder why Bai Ye, who has this ability, can't become famous in the original time and space.
The reason is very simple, it is still a matter of creativity.
Shiraba's skills are very good, but he lacks creativity. In the contemporary art industry, which focuses on innovation, it is difficult for people without innovative talent to get ahead.
What's more, in the modern society of the information explosion, the techniques of the ancient masters have long been thoroughly studied.
Similar to Bai Ye, there are naturally not a few people who have reached the height of masters in sculpture techniques. There are not a few thousand in the world, but there are hundreds, which is not rare.
Just because you reach the height of a master doesn't mean you're a master.
Because in the art industry, there is also an iron rule. To talk about art out of the times is to play hooligan.
The ancient masters were masters not only because of their skills, but more importantly, because they created genres, had their own innovations, and inspired future generations.
For example, there are many works in ancient times, and from a modern point of view, they may not be as good as art students in school.
The problem is that those "bad" works were indeed works that led the trend of the times and had a profound impact on later generations.
Therefore, the value of such a work must be extraordinary.
Those who have only skills but no creativity, in the eyes of professionals, at most belong to craftsmen and the like, and it is difficult to become famous.
Far from it.
To get back to the point, Bai Ye chose this work, in addition to showing off his skills, naturally to beware of Tom.
If it weren't for figuring out who was calculating himself, Bai Ye wouldn't have bothered to put on the trap in order to lure the snake out of the hole. However, he knew that the other party was uneasy and kind, and agreed to the other party's conditions, so he naturally had to have a few more eyes.
In fact, Tom only provided photos and videos to make him statues, and when he made a statue, he knew that there was something wrong with it.
You must know that in the original time and space, the incident of His Royal Highness Qiao Biluo was vigorous. Considering that whether it is a photo or a video, there are powerful beauty effects, and Bai Ye has to be wary of it.
In the case of never seeing a real person, the safest way is naturally to "shameless". The statue does not show its face, but it can show the perfect charm, which is the veiled statue.
It is precisely with the skillful carving of the white leaves that the beautiful appearance of the girl statue has been created.
The thin veil that clings to the girl's face, and the soft silk skirt she wears, under the illumination of the light, seem to follow her breath and breathe, and smile gently, gently teasing people's hearts.
In the crowd, there were really some people who were fascinated by the statue and completely obsessed.
For example, one of the parties, Tom's daughter. The moment she saw the statue, she lost her mind. It took a long time for her to react, and then desperately squeezed into the dense crowd.
Who is so immoral......
The person in front wanted to be angry, but when he turned around and saw the girl, he suddenly stopped.
Some of them slowly avoided it, revealing a passage that allowed the girl to walk in front of the statue.
A living person, a statue, came into everyone's eyes. Whether it is the body or the outline of the face, they are so similar. As long as the person is not blind, it is basically certain that the two are closely related.
The girl stared at the statue, her numb eyes reappeared.
A little tear is moist, and the luster of water waves shines.
The light of the hall reflected on the girl's face, and a holy glow emerged. Vaguely, everyone also vaguely felt that the mark on the girl's face seemed to have disappeared.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze, and only the image of the girl and the statue staring at each other remained in everyone's minds. This silent scene also makes people forget the passage of time.
The moment of freezing is transformed into eternity.
But dreams will wake up eventually, and time will continue to flow.
Bai Ye was the first to break the silence, he looked at Tom with a smile in his eyes, and asked, "Boss Tang, what do you think of this statue, is it a surprise, full of dissatisfaction." ”
"Uh......"
Tom was tangled and hesitated. If it was just him meeting with Bai Ye alone, then he could have come up with a hundred reasons to veto this statue.
If you are picky, you can find bones even in eggs.
Here's the problem......
When Bai Ye asked, the crowd present also turned their heads to look. The eyes of the crowd were full of strong emotions. As if to say, if you are not satisfied with such a work of art, you must be blind.
Tom wasn't blind, so he felt the pressure.
His eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but move his gaze to the corner of the hall. In that direction, Chu Nanfeng seemed to be hinting at something through his eyes and hidden movements.
"Say, not satisfied. ”
Chu Nanfeng was anxious in his heart, and muttered in a low voice: "What are you afraid of him for?"
The young man next to him heard it and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
In fact, the moment he saw the statue, his heart also set off a storm. He really didn't expect that Bai Ye would simply break the game.
This is the crushing of strength, pushing and sweeping, and reducing ten times with one force.
At that time, the youth already realized that their plan was bankrupt. It's not hard to get Tom to open his eyes and tell nonsense, but it's hard to get him to tell nonsense on this occasion......
