Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 324 Antecedents
It was another sunny morning, and Klimt went downstairs with his drawing board and painting kit in his hands.

Yes, as the leader of the coloring team of the Vienna Comics Club, he is one of the highest-paid people in the whole club. Of course, he will not treat himself badly anymore, as before, he would squeeze into the Datong shop with others, but rent it on the second floor of the hotel separate room.He had the independent bed and private painting table that he had dreamed of before.

Of course, as a painter, you cannot work behind closed doors. You must spend a lot of time comprehending nature, conceiving lines in nature, and understanding colors.Only in this way can we go further on the road of painting.

The work of the comic agency is busy and hard, especially for Klimt, the team leader.So taking advantage of this rare rest day, he decided to go to Danube Park to sketch, and by the way, look for inspiration for painting, and make some preliminary preparations for his next work.

The beautiful Danube flows along the edge of Vienna, and there are several scenic parks along the way.These parks provide unlimited inspiration for Vienna's artists, whether painting or music.

And Danube Park is the most beautiful of many parks!
It is located on a small island in the middle of the Danube River, surrounded by rivers on all sides, the island is lush with greenery, flowers are flourishing, and the cultural landscape is rich.It can be said that it is the most suitable park for painting landscapes in Vienna, not one of them.

For Klimt, who loves landscape painting and specializes in landscape oil painting, this is also his most desired painting location.

But he has never been to such a holy place for painters, for no other reason than he has a small pocket.The park itself does not charge tickets and is unattended, anyone can enter.The most expensive thing is the ferry fee. Danube Park is located on a small island in the middle of the river. There is no bridge to cross it. If you want to go there, you can only ferry by boat.Since there are very few qualified ferrymen on the river, and there are many people going to the park, the ferry fee naturally remains high, usually more than 50 silver, which Klimt could not afford at all.

But it was different now. Now that Klimt had several jingling gold marks in his wallet, he naturally didn't care about the ferry money.

Arriving on the island along the ferry, Klimt threw himself into this beautiful world.

Oh, this sea of ​​flowers
oh the lake
oh this lawn
It is indeed the most beautiful park in Vienna, the scenery is really amazing.

Klimt wandered around feeling, while looking for a suitable landscape to paint.

Finally, he selected a target.

It was a verdant lawn, dotted with countless open or closed flowers like stars, and not far from the lawn, there was a river as calm as paper and as blue as green. The whole scenery was like that The gorgeous and colorful, it is refreshing.

Klimt fell in love with it right away!Fortunately, he came earlier, no one robbed him of this beautiful scenery, and let him occupy the position with the widest view in front of this beautiful scenery.

Hastily set up the easel, put on the drawing board, spread out the drawing paper, took out water and paints, and mixed them on the drawing board. Klimt took the brush and compared it to the beautiful scenery.Think about how to write and how to compose the picture.

Well, this landscape is divided into two parts, one part is the lake and the other part is the lawn. If you want to express it perfectly, you must unify the two parts harmoniously
While he was thinking hard, an abrupt voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Huh? Isn't this Klimt? How did he have the money to paint in the Danube Park? Could it be that he was taken care of by some noble lady?"

Turning around angrily, Klimt saw the sarcastic person at a glance.

It was a short young man, who looked very inconspicuous against the backdrop of his other companions surrounded by stars, and now he was raising his head, looking at Klimt with disdain.

Klimt knew this young man, Egon, who was also a painter.In fact, they are still from the same hometown. At the beginning, the two went to Vienna together and took the entrance examination for the Vienna Academy of Arts together.The difference is that Klimt failed the exam, but this young man passed the exam, and his grades were among the best among all the candidates. It is said that he is currently studying under a famous painting master in the academy.

And through the costumes they wore, Klimt also knew that the others surrounding that Egon were also students of the Vienna Academy of Arts.Just looking at their expressions, and the envious and flattering looks towards Egon, it is obvious that they are just his followers.

After glancing at him twice, Klimt decided to ignore him, and swallowed the sarcasm abruptly.After all, Egon is a talented painter at the Academy of Art, and he himself is just a street painter who failed the exam. Although he has made some money now, it is far from enough to fight against such a proud man, so he can only endure it.

But Egon didn't intend to let him go, but walked over instead.

"Oh, it seems that I have really made a fortune. This drawing paper and this paint are all high-end products, and this pen is custom-made by the century-old shop on Weeden Avenue. One piece costs several gold marks. Ah." Egon's tone was full of deliberate surprise: "Could it be that I was right, you were really taken care of by some noble lady?"

"I earned the money for the painting tools myself." Even Klimt, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't stand being slandered repeatedly, and retorted bluntly: "I earned it all with my own efforts and talents." The money received is all clean money! Also, don’t you know that it’s impolite to disturb a painter’s work?”

"Hahaha, talent? You mean talent?" Egon laughed loudly with his stomach in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

It took him a long time to stop laughing, but immediately, his tone became extremely cold: "Just you who failed the exam, what talent do you have? The rubbish you draw is also worthy of being called a painter? A guy like you deserves to come to Danube Park to paint?"

Hearing Egon's statement, his companions also cursed mercilessly:
"I thought I was something, but it turned out that I was a flutter who failed the rankings. If I don't stay in your 'garbage street', what are you doing in Danube Park?"

"Hahaha, do you think you are a high-end painter when you buy high-end painting tools? Don't be so dreamy, if you don't have talent, you don't have talent, and garbage is garbage!"

"Don't take up a seat here! You don't even ask, is Danube Park a place where you rush to the street!"

"Where is the beauty of the Danube Park painted by rubbish like you? If you stay here for a while, you will defile this place!"

"Yeah, what are you still doing? Why don't you pack up and get out!"

Holding the brush tightly in his hand, Klimt was so angry that his shoulders were shaking.But he didn't act, nor did he refute.

He just said quietly: "I'm going to draw, please don't disturb me."

But his announcement had no effect.

"Hehe, you're still pretending for me here." Egon said contemptuously: "I'll tell you the truth! I've taken a fancy to this place! If you want to paint, get lost and paint somewhere else!"

"What if I say I don't want to?" Klimt turned his head and fixed his eyes on him: "Are you going to use violence to drive me away?"

"Hehe, we are all noble artists, how could we use violence against trash like you? You deserve it too?" Egon laughed, "I know what you are honoring, it's nothing more than that Vienna Comics Club, relying on I drew some garbage picture books in it and made some money. I might as well tell you! Your garbage comic agency is going to close down soon! My teacher is Master Laermi, no matter who is behind your comic agency, he will Let you go out of business! Destroy all the rubbish you drew!"

"Crack." Shocked, Klimt let go of his hand, and the brush fell to the ground.
