Chapter 954: Take out the sketch
Until now, Chen Yi's heart is still full of excitement, facing the statue, he may not have much surprise, but he is full of love for the hidden Genesis sketch manuscript in the statue.
Owning a statue of Michelangelo that isn't very famous is a little shocking, but if you have a sketch of Genesis, it will definitely shake the world.
According to his comprehensive examination, the nine sketches were rolled together and stuck in the specially set hole of the statue, so that even if the statue was shaken, there would be no sound inside.
Presumably, when he carved this sculpture, Michelangelo already had the idea of hiding the sketch in it, but on the statue, he did not leave any words that could reveal the secrets in it.
Perhaps in some of the notes or letters that Michelangelo left to Cavalieri, there are words about the secret of this sculpture.
Because there is a secret in it, this sculpture is naturally fully enclosed, but according to his identification, the bottom of this neck is not one with the statue, and it can be taken down, but it will destroy the plaster on it.
For the sculpture, this small destruction does not affect the overall beauty, and the subsequent plaster can be applied to restore it to its original state, Michelangelo's technique, completely stored on the face, for the lower part of the neck, there is not much carving.
Chen Yi took out a small blade from the storage space, inserted the blade into it along the traces in the identification information, and stabbed it into the gap between the bottom of his neck and the statue, and then he held the blade. Follow this little gap. Completely cut the gap of the entire connection.
After cutting the gap. Chen Yi clasped the gap with his fingernails, then lifted the internal breath, and slowly opened the bottom, and suddenly, the space in his neck was completely exposed in front of him.
Through the space inside his neck, he could faintly see the sketches that were stuck together in the space of the statue.
At this moment, Chen Yiqiang held back the excitement in his heart and held a slender tweezer in his hand. Slowly stretched into the hollow space of the statue, and soon, he used tweezers to clamp the sketches rolled together, and with a slow force in his hand, the sketches that were stuck in them fell directly, and then, he used tweezers to slowly clip out the nine sketches.
The nine sketches are rolled together and then wrapped in a piece of stiff vellum paper with a canvas on the outside.
Chen Yi slowly opened the canvas and vellum paper. Suddenly the sketch paper was revealed, without the slightest trace of damage.
Looking at the sketches on the table, his heart was excited again. These sketches did not belong to him when they were identified in Luchino's castle, but now these sketches of Michelangelo's great Genesis belong to him.
He wiped the sweat on his hands with a towel, and slowly opened the nine sketches rolled together, and what caught his eye was the first of the nine scenes, and the first step of God's creation of the world, "God divides light and darkness".
In the painting, God faces the sky, stretching out his arms to separate light and darkness, and Michelangelo is said to have painted this fresco in just one day, and some viewers have pointed out that in this fresco of God dividing light and darkness, hidden anatomical images are painted that explain its unusual characteristics.
Due to Michelangelo's anatomical knowledge, it is quite possible that he developed a detailed understanding of the gross anatomy of the brain and spinal cord, and in the neck of God, the anatomical details are different from the necks of other figures in paintings, and also different from the paintings of Michelangelo's contemporaries, and this discovery came from brain surgeons and doctors, and it is not excluded that they may have been influenced by their preconceived notions.
In this sketch, there is not only one figure in God, but around the painting, there are four other figures, sitting in different postures in the four corners of the painting, all of them naked.
Chen Yi looked at this sketch, the level of the whole manuscript is very high, and the picture is exquisite, magnificent, in the lower right corner of the sketch, there is Michelangelo's autograph.
After reading this sketch, he found something and pressed the four corners of the manuscript, which, due to the long time rolled together, could not be laid flat on the table at all.
He then looks at the second picture, the second of nine scenes, entitled "Creation of the Sun, Moon, Flora and Fauna", in which God's left and right hands are pointing in two directions, and in one direction, the crimson sun rises, and in the other direction, the white-gray moon rises.
In addition, in this sketch, there are also some figures, these people are rich, the expressions are realistic, there are many figures, and the image is tall, strong and powerful, and the expression is majestic.
And they are a collection of various heroes and giants in Michelangelo's imagination, and the characters in this picture are mostly religious figures, but they are not slaves and sinners who are obedient and obedient as advocated by Christianity, but are strong and have strong will and strength, showing that Michelangelo used humanist ideas to represent these religious figures.
This whole mural is not so much a myth of the creation of the world by God as a re-creation of the religious legend by Michelangelo.
Then there is the division of land and water, a dark cloak envelops God, and it seems that all of its creative power is contained in this circle, and then the arms of God show this power in an unstoppable state, its hands stretched forward, its palms open, the sea and the land split in two according to the command, and the fluttering circular curve of the robe contrasts with the straight horizon.
When Adam stretches out his left hand to touch the life-giving God, God stretches out his right index finger to respond to the earth, and the focus of the picture is not Adam and God, but the contact between the fingers of God and man, making the viewer seem to witness the sparks bursting out when the fingertips touch.
Subsequently, Chen Yi watched the rest of the sketches, Creation ZĂ o Eve, Original Sin Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Noah's Sacrifice, The Great Flood, Noah's Drunkenness, and the nine most classic scenes in the Genesis murals completely appeared on the sketches in his hands, and the momentum and shock that people feel are probably not much worse than the murals.
After reading the entire nine sketches, Chen Yi's heart was also full of excitement, he was not excited for God to create the world, but because of the momentum of the nine sketches of the masters.
These nine drawings can be said to be completely miniature versions of the frescoes, which have been hidden for hundreds of years, and now they are finally about to reappear, so that everyone can once again marvel at Michelangelo, the master of the art.
The three-dimensional images seen on the identification information are far less shocking than the current contact with these sketches, and looking at these nine sketches is enough to make people see the scenes of God's creation of the world in the Bible, and these scenes are perfectly expressed under Michelangelo's brush.
After pressing all the nine sketches on the table, Chen Yi did not hesitate, walked out of the room directly, knocked on Fu Lao's door with his hand, and changed the thinking of a normal person.
At this time, it had not been an hour since Fu Lao and the others left the room, and Fu Lao was also creating a painting in the room, so the moment Chen Yi knocked on the door, he stood up and shouted towards the door, "Who." â
"Old Fu, it's me, Chen Yi." Chen Yi said with excitement in his tone.
Fu Lao smiled, I don't know what this kid is looking for himself, he opened the door gently, only to see Chen Yi standing outside the door with excitement on his face, seeing him open the door, he directly pulled him towards the room next to him, which made Fu Lao's heart full of doubts, "Xiaoyi, what happened to make you so excited, you always have to wait for me to close the door." â
Saying that, Fu Lao closed the door, took the door, and walked towards the room with Chen Yi, "What the hell is it, I usually find a baby, and I haven't seen you so excited." â
"Old Fu, this time is different, you will know when you enter the room." Chen Yi said excitedly, as Chen Yi walked into the room, the first thing he saw was the statue on the table, and then he saw the papers on the table.
When he got closer, he couldn't help but see the state of the statue being split in two by Chen Yi, and just when he was about to ask, he suddenly saw the first painting on the table, and after watching it for a while, the excitement on his face became stronger and stronger, "God divides the light and darkness, Michelangelo, this, this is a sketch of Genesis, won't it." â
They had just seen the statue with Michelangelo's signature before, so Fu Lao recognized the signature on this painting at a glance, with a look of disbelief on his face, and then he looked at the second painting, creating the sun, moon and plants.
When he looked at the fourth Genesis, his face showed a shocked look, "This, Xiaoyi, where did you get these sketches, the momentum in them is exactly the same as the Genesis frescoes, this can already prove that Michelangelo painted the sketches when he painted the Genesis." â
"Old Fu, you can read these nine sketches first." Chen Yi said with a smile at this time, as if he had regained his composure.
Subsequently, Fu Lao read the remaining sketches one by one, each of which gave him the same feeling as the mural, he has come to Italy a lot, and the Genesis mural has also been seen many times, but on these sketches, he has some feelings when watching the mural.
Michelangelo's sketch of the Genesis, which sounds shocking enough, at this moment, his gaze looks at the statue that has been separated, as if thinking of something. (To be continued......)
