On both sides of the entrance to the Palazzo Vecchio are the statues of David (here is a replica, the real thing is in the Accademia Gallery) and the heads of Hercules and Kecks, the heads of Perseus and Medusa in the mercenary loggia on the side (here are the replicas, the real ones are in the Bargello Gallery), the captivity, the captivity, the Sabine women, Hercules Hercules and the half-man and half-horse, etc.

In addition to the statue of David, which the world must pay attention to, the focus of Snow Fall falls on Medusa's head, and there are several versions of the story about Medusa, in general, because of her fatal attraction and a series of encounters. The Uffizi Gallery preserves Caravaggio's Medusa on a shield.

It was a look of extreme pain and hideousness, and the Medusa who was beheaded by Perseus now presented a scene of quickly decapitating Medusa while she was asleep, avoiding her eyes, so it was relatively peaceful and without struggle. It is said that Leonardo da Vinci also painted Medusa and scared his father very much.

Presumably, the Italian brand Versace used Medusa's avatar as the brand logo because of the fatal attraction brought by the unique trend art of the brand's design. It's still early in the morning, and you can walk back from the Plaza de Ville through Dante's house and past the Basilica of San Lorenzo to the Central Market, where you can see the daily life of the people here.

I tasted the tripe buns that I had to eat, I made a pseudo-art in the I Museum, and witnessed an Italian wedding in front of the Vecchio Palace. Because of the bombardment of Italian food for several days, I decided to use Chinese food to appease my stomach that had been protesting for a long time, and came to DimSum, which is highly recommended by my friends in Cinque Terre, which is a Cantonese restaurant with minimalist decoration.

The restaurant is populated by locals. Due to the appointment time of the Uffizi Gallery, I simply ordered shrimp fried rice with hot tea, and the moment I entered it, I was sure that it was from the craftsmanship of a Cantonese chef, but the price in euros made people think that they had eaten a meal in a Michelin restaurant. On the way to the museum, I found a long queue in front of the All'Antico Vinaio store.

It seems that the term "sandwich that always queues up" is correct. At this time, the corridor of the museum was already crowded, and after quickly completing the established links, a short artistic journey began. The Uffizi's collection is so rich that it would not take enough time to spend a day, let alone an afternoon reserved for the snow to fall. The entire exhibition hall is unfolded in a U-shape.

It was once the office of the Medici family, and Uffizi means "office" in Italian, hence the name of the museum, so it can be said that it is the private collection of the Medici family. It houses a large collection of Renaissance and other schools such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli and Titian.

Works by Lavoggio, Giotto, Rembrandt, Rubens, etc. The Ponte Vecchio Giotto seen in the corridor of the museum - BadiaPolyptych Giotto --- Ognissanti Madonna Botticelli - Athena and the Centaur Monster Botticelli - The Three Wise Men Come to Botticelli - The coat of arms of the young Cosimo the Old with the coat of arms of the old Cosimo feels like it can be touched with the hand.

When Francesca - the Duke and Duchess of Urbino saw it for a long time and were sure that the beads were painted Michelangelo - the Holy Family Raphael - Pope Leo X like Caravaggio - Medusa's head Titian - Venus and Cupid, the dog and the quail pick the thorny boy before the trip I consulted the relevant information and read a few blog posts.

Several paintings by Botticelli, the representative of the school---- have been coveted for a long time. When I came to the exhibition hall dedicated to him, I went straight to Xueluo's favorite "Spring", but unfortunately it was installed with a glass panel to protect the painting, which caused a slight reflection when viewed from different angles.

However, it still does not affect the people who have stood here for a long time and refuse to leave. What makes Snow fall like this work is that it is the transparent robe of the Three Graces and the Goddess of the Forest, which is said to have been added by Botticelli to the traditional tempera paint to make the details of Rosene more textured, and the hundreds of flowers blooming on the meadow of nearly 200 varieties.

And each flower is like a small portrait. As for the subject matter of this painting, there have been many opinions, like a mystery, but it is still dazzling. "Spring" and "The Birth of Venus" Another painting that attracts Xueluo is "Slander", although the layout is not as large as "Spring" and "The Birth of Venus", but it incorporates more characters, and the "innocence" and "truth" in the painting are shown in nudity.

It contrasts sharply with the ornate brocade robes of the bad corners, showing the purity of the former. The whole picture layout is interconnected with gestures and movements, which appears harmonious and rich in plot, like a realistic stage play. In the process of appreciation, I found that many artists have created works with themes such as "Our Lady and Child", "The Coming of the Doctor", "Annunciation", "Christ's Sacrifice and Passion".

Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters, was no exception, and his two early works, The Baptism of Christ and The Annunciation, were completed on this theme. Although the Baptism of Christ depicts only a kneeling angel, his demeanor and soft tones have clearly surpassed that of his master Verrocchio. The earliest surviving "Annunciation" completed by him independently.

Different from other works of the same theme, the colors of this painting are obviously much more dignified, each color has its own black and gray scale, just like the popular haze color today, and all the elements in the whole work, including the two dynamic figures, are painted in horizontal and vertical tones, which adds to the solemn and sacred feeling. When I came to a few studios near the exit, I came across paintings by Titian and Caravaggio.

For some reason, I didn't see "Venus of Urbino", but I saw the masterpiece "Flower God" from the middle period. Titian is a representative of the late Renaissance school of painting, with a soft and harmonious painting style, great importance to the use of color, and rich textured brushstrokes often convey rich inner emotions. The overall tone of "Flower God" is dominated by natural tones close to the characters themselves.

There are no obvious brushstrokes in the whole portrait, and the delicate is so charming and slightly shy that it can smell a trace of romance. I deeply felt that the later Romantic Impressionists were influenced by him. Caravaggio, on the other hand, was not a Renaissance master, but he was a rising star after the death of many masters. As a student of Titian in Milan.

Inheriting the style of Northern Italian realism, he was also influenced by the painting school, and later became famous and active in south-central Italy. The drunken Bacchus is extremely close to life, with vivid colors and details that contain deep meaning throughout the work, including a young boy wearing a crown of grapevines and a bathrobe robe.

The unsteady glass and the ripe fruit in the lower right all express a life of pleasure and indulgence. The proximity to the exhibition of "Flower God" makes people feel that the two works have many similarities, whether it is from the brushstrokes to the skin tones of the characters. As soon as I left the exhibition hall, I met a passer-by uncle and asked about the time when the snow fell inside.

When I listened to Xueluo talk for nearly 4 hours, I indifferently told Xueluo that I had only watched nearly 3% of the works, and Xueluo, who got a reply, expressed disbelief and was convinced of my determination to do it again. When I arrived at the Cathedral of the Hundred Flowers, I missed the last time to enter, and at this time, a drizzle began to fall in the sky, and the autumn rain was not fierce.

It has the ability to make people tremble when it falls on the body. I simply quickened my pace and entered a restaurant where I could eat T-bone steak, sat in the glass room outside, accompanied by a glass of red wine, and watched the lights come on, and the streets and pedestrians at this time were only simple outlines in the fog. Tips of the day: 1. The package ticket for the Cathedral of Flowers is valid for 48 hours.

These include Giotto's Bell Tower, the Cathedral Summit, the Crypt, the Baptistery and the Duomo Museum, but pay attention to the opening hours of each section. 2. It is recommended to place the summit of Giotto's bell tower at dusk, while the summit of the Cathedral of Hundred Flowers is placed in the morning to avoid backlighting. 3. The old town is relatively small and will be relatively crowded throughout the day. 4. T-bone steak must be eaten.

Serve it with a glass of red wine. Good things never seek attention - "Daydreamer" 2 - Light Rain - Sunny A crystal set in the waist of a boot has been haunted by the snow that has been on the town for the first time when he has abandoned the town on his first solo journey, so much so that he wanders around this city that everyone regards as a treasure.

Some absent-minded. I don't like rainy days very much, but after a night of rain baptism, it is more worthy of the three words Fei Leng Cui in Xu Zhimo's mouth, which is particularly poetic and smart. At six o'clock in the morning, the streets and alleys are still only dark blue and goose yellow, and the exquisite installation in the window is the only bright spot at this time. The stone pavement is shiny after the rain.

The atmosphere of ancient mystery is getting stronger and stronger, and once again I come to the town square, which is also dressed in medieval colors, as if I have stepped back in the time of vampires, and remember that the twilight second part - the new moon was filmed in Montepulciano, a small town 2 hours away from Filene.

Walk through the Uffizi inner gallery, come to the Arno River, and then see the old bridge where Dante meets Beatrice, who makes him admire, and because the Medici family has made the old bridge with a strong market atmosphere into a bejeweled pedestrian street, unlike what I saw in the sunset before, the Arno River and the old bridge are shrouded in a dark gray morning mist.

It's a bit bleak. I wanted to see Piazzale Michelangelo again in the early morning, but I was worried about the view of the Cathedral of Fiores and the ascent to the top, so I began to turn back, and the repeated mistakes here continued, and the fact that the church was closed to the public on Sunday morning made Snow Fall miss it again. To get back the fare.

I went to the "Little Steamer" Baptistery next to it and the Cathedral Museum on the other side. The laneways on Sunday define life, less of the crowds of tour groups, less of the overwhelm of the shops, and more of the daily life of family travel, the sun spills into the trolley, blurring the children's facial features, but leaving the immature little hands that instinctively lift.

After lunch, he took the stored luggage from the owner and prepared to go to the next city, before entering the elevator, he asked which city Xueluo would go to next, and when Xueluo said it, he responded to Xueluo with fantastic, and also made Xueluo have more fantasies about keeping. In the train looking out the window.

Unconsciously took out the weather on the mobile phone, Xueluo has a small habit, like to pre-store a bunch of weather in the mobile phone that wants to go to the city, whenever on the way, it will slide left and right to look through, as if the train with the snow continues to pass through those cities, imagining the scenery and atmosphere in different seasons. Within the distance of the train approaching SantaLucia train station.

The atmosphere of the water city has gradually appeared, until you walk out of the square in front of the station, and finally have the feeling of being embraced in this romantic water city. The World Heritage Committee describes her as a 118-island building in the 5th century and becoming the main maritime power in the 10th century. The whole city is an extraordinary architectural masterpiece.

Even the most humble buildings in the city may have been the work of world masters such as Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese and others. Known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic Sea", it is surrounded by the sea and is located in the province of Veneto on the Adriatic coast in northeastern Italy.

From the map, it looks like a crystal set in the waistband of a wonderful boot, shining in the waves of the Adriatic Sea. When the snow falls and you catch the water bus to your accommodation, you will see the countless wooden piles on both sides of the Grand Canal, some of which are exposed in their original wooden forms, while others are decorated with colorful buildings of different styles.

Some of them are used as cable boats, some as berms, and some even become part of bridges, and they are just another name - the city of stakes. These dense piles were driven into the underwater earth to build the house, and then a thick layer of Istrian stone was laid on the stakes, and then bricks were built on the stone.

Therefore, it is often said that the city is a stone on the water and a forest under the water, and it took more than 400 years to build this paradise on earth. After putting down his luggage, he began to wander through the alley where he could not tell the direction for the time being. It has the reputation of "born because of water, beautiful because of water, and prosperous because of water", and the alleys in the city are full of waterways.

Connecting the various sections are 401 bridges of various kinds. It is the only city in the world that does not have cars, there are no exhaust gases, people travel by boats in addition to walking, there are the basic means of transportation called "water buses" - ferries, there are water taxis, there are their own motorboats, and the most famous thing is the gondola.

Once a symbol of the extravagant lifestyle of the aristocracy, it is now mostly used for sightseeing and is not cheap. It is exquisitely crafted from oak planks and painted seven times with black lacquer, and the interior is beautiful and luxurious, but expensive to build. The boatmen were dressed in black and white striped shirts and straw hats with red hoops.

Accompanied by their high-pitched and melodious singing, it is a rare pleasure to admire the masterpieces of the masters on both sides of the waterway. Passing through the winding alleys, you have walked on what Napoleon called "the most beautiful living room in Europe". At this time, the square was already restless due to the crowd, and the various Byzantine buildings in the square were there.

The timely and fast flight of pigeons made Snow Fall feel dizzy. Sit down on the steps of the Slavic Embankment and enjoy the skin-friendly sea breeze in the afterglow of the sunset. At this time, the gondola has gradually returned to the shore, and a whole piece of "gondola" blue has become a unique color. I really think there are so many kinds of blue in this world.
