Chapter 324: "Dante and Virgil in Hell"
In the early days of its construction, the glass pyramid aroused the disgust of most French people, but now it seems that Zhang Feng has to admire Mitterrand and Bezinming's advanced consciousness.
On the west side of the Louvre, the equestrian statue of Louis XIV, the "Sun King", is very interesting. After taking a few photos, Zhang Feng came to the visitor center under the glass pyramid of the Louvre.
Before coming here, Zhang Feng also heard a thing, that is, not long ago the scandal of fake tickets from China was seized, but from the other side, I learned that the huge Louvre Museum actually does not have an electronic ticket system?! This really made Zhang Feng laugh, and not long after this incident, when Zhang Feng entered the museum, he showed the ticket to the staff, but people still didn't even bother to look at it.
"Please, a little professionalism, okay?!" Zhang Feng was speechless.
Although Zhang Feng doesn't care, many tourists who go abroad to play are still not very good at English.Chinese
If you are interested in ancient Egyptian civilization, in fact, you can get great satisfaction in the Louvre, more than 50,000 collections in the Egyptian Pavilion, spanning from 4000 BC to the 4th century AD, most of these rich collections of ancient Egyptian civilization are related to Na = Poleon, of course, for Egypt, Na = Poleon is an out-and-out predator, but, also because under the influence of Na = Poleon, scholars have promoted the study of ancient Egyptian civilization and deciphered the ancient Egyptian script, so for Na = It is difficult to make a judgment on the rights and wrongs of what Poleon did in Egypt.
Zhang Feng was amazed, how did he bring such a large number of huge stone carvings and other objects back to France? That was simply a huge project! Ancient Egyptian gold ornaments......
The sarcophagus of Ramses III, measuring 1.8 meters high, is carved from a single piece of pink granite, and the surface is engraved with the burial ceremony of the pharaoh.
The famous "Seated Statue of the Secretary" has a history of 4,300 years, and the completely realistic style makes this statue lifelike. A lot of information about this statue was searched on the Internet, and Zhang Feng also read a lot, so he didn't stay long.
Various human-shaped coffins, Zhang Feng joked that the ancients chose their own coffins in front of them like choosing clothing styles?
After walking a few steps, Zhang Feng found a very shocking mummy, the clothes covered on his body were very luxurious, he should be a big person, but unfortunately Zhang Feng couldn't understand the introduction, it was really messy.
The Egyptian Pavilion, when admiring the ancient Egyptian collections, do not overlook the palaces that display them, because part of them, and certainly the most ornate part, was once the residence of Louis XIV, the most illustrious king on the French royal register.
Around the 4th century AD, ancient Egypt had entered the period of Greek and Roman civilization, which replaced ancient Egypt and influenced the whole of Europe.
The Venus de Milo is a masterpiece of human aesthetics in Greece in the 2nd century BC, which has influenced the understanding of human anatomy and aesthetics among art learners around the world.
It is interesting to say that the Egyptians only knew how to stand upright, and only learned to take a break when they arrived in Greece. A sense of balance and the direction of the muscles that the human body in a resting state is vividly shaped by Greek artists in that era.
It's not enough to just look at a great work and take a picture!
Zhang Feng saw an amazing work, it is the statue of Herma Flode, with a bumpy body, delicate skin, but with the physiological characteristics of both sexes, not to mention the story behind this for the time being, just watching this realistic texture is breathtaking.
"The statue of a god-like existence, a selfie with a 45-degree upward tilt, isn't it crazy in your hand4, is this the masterpiece of the ancients to predict a thousand years later, Jobs?" Zhang Feng said to himself, because the statue in his eyes is really magical.
"Mona Lisa's Smile" is located in the "Mona Lisa" room of the "Denon Pavilion", a very large room built specifically for the painting, which was heavily secured, and only opened to the public in April 2005, before it was difficult to see the Mona Lisa.
However, nowadays, bulletproof glass, electric eye systems, anti-theft devices and the eternal crowds of tourists in front of them are still separated by mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to enjoy this masterpiece at close range, and the "Mona Lisa's smile" has become the standard photo for tourists in France.
Facing the Mona Lisa is the "Wedding of Canaan", which is almost ten meters long and seven meters high, and is the largest oil painting in the Louvre, occupying an entire wall. It is also always crowded with people in front of it.
It is a story with a theme taken from the first miracle of the "New Testament" of Gene = Governor, but the author uses the theme of the story to reflect the prosperity of Venice at that time, which was at the height of its wealth.
The author takes to the extreme the magnificence and monumentality of the Venetian School in Italy, which originally belonged to the Church of San Giorgio in Venice and was brought back to France by Napoleon, who won the victory of the French Revolution.
At that time, there were similar episodes of modern directors making cameos in their own film and television roles, and the man in the center of the front row of this painting is said to be the author himself.
It is a luxury to sit quietly in the Louvre just to admire a painting
Na= Diagram of the coronation of Poleon I.
More than 200 characters appear in the picture, with different expressions and lifelike, each of which can be listed separately as a portrait.
According to the European practice, "the right of kings is divinely conferred", but the fact is that the pope was forced to participate in the coronation, and the original manuscript truly reflected the fact that Napoleon bestowed the crown on himself at that time, but because Napoleon in the original manuscript was suspected of having a negative image, it was changed to the Napoleon who has been crowned and is being crowned by Princess Josephine. There are many other changes in the painting, such as the Pope's raised hand, such as the addition of the absent Mother of Josephine, all for the sake of a perfect coronation ceremony for Napoleon, but this is not the case...
The more you understand the story behind the painting, the more fascinated you will be with the painting itself, and the more you will learn about it, the more you will be unable to extricate yourself.
Zhang Feng wandered around to a very magical painting, which took the author more than 3 years, and the exquisiteness of the painting and the story behind the painting made this masterpiece famous for centuries.
