Chapter 166: 'Mona Lisa' Ernie
Statues from 2500 BC, stone carvings from 2270 BC, clay figurines fired from 2000 BC are on display at the Oriental Art Museum, and more.
The Ancient Egyptian Pavilion is the clothing, ornaments, toys, and musical instruments used by the inhabitants of the West Bank of the Nile in ancient times, as well as the broken walls of ancient Egyptian temples, keymen, mummies, and human head statues from 2600 BC.
The collection of the Museum of Ancient Greek and Roman Art is based on the collections of the French royal family, and sculptures dominate the museum, including marble, bronze, ivory, etc.
The paintings collected by the Louvre Museum of Fine Arts are incomparable to those of other art museums in the world. Fouquet's Charles VII, Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna of the Rocks, Raphael's The Beautiful Gardener, Rennan's The Farmhouse, Rigaud's King Louis XIV, Louis Davide's Coronation of Napoleon I at Notre-Dame Cathedral, Delacroix's Chopin, Ingres's Hammam and many more. One of the most outstanding and most remarkable is Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, completed in 1503.
The statue hall is mostly composed of works with religious themes, and some of them are works of human bodies and animals. Here you can see the gold-colored woodcuts "Crucifixion", "Jesus on the Cross", "Madonna and Angel", the Italian sculpture "Madonna and Child", the 17th-century "Louis XIV in Childhood", the 18th-century celebrity "Voltaire", the 19th-century group sculpture "Dance" and so on.
Surrounded by 400,000 works of art, no matter who is confronted with the art itself or the sedimentary feelings of history hidden in it, they will be confronted with the imagination. However, although the Louvre has a large collection, its six pavilions are basically open on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the remaining four days are open in turn, and only half of them are open on Sundays. And the exhibits only account for 1/3 of the total collection. Today, it has 15,000 paintings, but only about 2,000 are on display, so very few people are lucky enough to see the entire collection of the Louvre. As it happens, today happened to be a Wednesday, and the group was able to see the artworks in the six pavilions, which is why there are so many visitors today.
Although the Louvre is known as a world-class temple of art, not everyone is interested in it, and Baek Il Sep is one of them. Since entering the palace, when I saw the crowd of people rubbing shoulders, my face turned 'black' in an instant, and it didn't take long for my mouth to pop up from time to time, 'Hey Yigu ~ my legs~', 'Hey Yigu ~ I'm going to die ~', 'Let's just drink a cup of tea and go~' and so on. There was no way, in order to take care of the 64-year-old busy, everyone had to divide into two teams, the 'academic school' who has a strong interest in the artworks made by famous masters, Lee Soon-jae and Park Geun-young are the two teams, and the other team is 'led' by Baek Il-sub, Shin Jiu and Lee Hyo-ji are the escorts and translators, and they only yearn for the 'export faction' who goes out to lunch quickly.
"Isn't there anything the teacher wants to see?" Although it is not the first time to come to Paris, but the Louvre is the first time, Li Xiaozhi, who is also interested in art, said: "It's rare to come once, not to mention anything else, at least to see Venus, the god of love with broken arms, and "Mona Lisa", which are known as the three treasures of the world, right?" Knowing that Bai Rixie listened to Shen Jiu's words very much, Li Xiaozhi gave him a look after speaking.
The warm-hearted 'second brother' really 'lived up to expectations' and said: "Ilxie, Xiaozhi is right, you and I are so old that it's rare to come once, it's a pity not to see it......"
"I know Hyong, let's go~", without waiting for him to finish speaking, Bai Rixie stood up happily. In fact, I also know in my heart that I am already the age of the sixtieth birthday, and this is the first time I have come here, and it is estimated that it will be the last time in my life.
Seeing that the old man was moved, Li Xiaozhi and Shen Jiu, who were walking behind, couldn't help but smile at each other, and reached out their hands and slapped their palms very tacitly.

Although Baek Il-sub agreed to go and see the artwork, Lee Hyo-ji and Shin-gyu didn't plan to look at it more in order to take care of his legs, but just picked a few 'most famous' works.
The face is handsome, the body is well-proportioned, the shirt slides down to the hip, and the right arm is mutilated, but it still shows the unique curvy beauty of women, dignified but charming.
"Hyo-chi, what is this talking about?"
