Treasure Hunt all over the World

Standing in front of the painting quietly admiring it for a while, Ye Tian was ready to open the perspective to see if there are any secrets hidden in this masterpiece of Leonardo.

As we all know, almost all of Da Vinci's paintings have a certain degree of mystery, more or less, the most famous is the smile of the Mona Lisa!

In the past few hundred years, countless top artists, scholars, and antique art appraisal experts have tried to interpret Mona Lisa's smile, but no one has been able to discover the secret behind that smiling face!

This "Our Lady of the Rocks" is no exception! There is also a certain mystery shrouded in it. Since the paintings were published, they have also attracted the attention of countless scholars, but no one can give an accurate interpretation.

As a top antique art appraisal expert, Ye Tian is also very interested in the secrets hidden behind this painting. If he can find something, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

Just as he was about to open the perspective, Anderson's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Steven, please explain this painting to everyone. I also understand the content of the picture depicted in "Our Lady of the Rocks". It is a story from the Bible.

However, I don’t quite understand how Da Vinci used this story. You are a top expert in this area, and you can definitely help me answer this doubt! "

As soon as Anderson's voice fell, there was an echoing voice around him.

"Yes, Steven, explain to everyone, does this famous Da Vinci painting also hide any major secrets?"

"Steven, I have watched Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" and the movie of the same name starring Tom Hanks. Is this painting really related to the Holy Grail?"

Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the many eager visitors around him, then raised his hands and gently pressed it down to signal everyone to be quiet.

When the scene was a little quieter, he smiled and said loudly:

"Let me explain about this "Our Lady of the Rocks", it is not impossible, but before explaining this famous painting, there are some things that I must explain in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.

Everyone should know that I am an atheist, not a Christian. Strictly speaking, I am not suitable to explain this painting publicly. The "Our Lady of the Rocks" reflects the story of the Bible after all.

Since everyone asked me to explain it, I’m not good at rejecting it. In the course of the explanation, I will try my best to ensure an objective position and not mix my own worldview in it, and just talk about art!

Among the issues related to religion, as well as some religious metaphors, I will show them one by one, but I will not explain them in depth. You need to understand these things yourself!

I have also read the book "The Da Vinci Code". Is this "Our Lady of the Rocks" related to the famous Holy Grail? On this point, I don't know, nor dare to jump to conclusions.

But in my opinion, "The Da Vinci Code" is just a novel, and Dan Brown is no more than a best-selling author, not a rigorous historian, nor an expert in identifying antique art!

What he described in "The Da Vinci Code" is more of a literary description. You don't have to take it seriously, let alone read a best-selling novel as a history book or academic paper! "

Hearing Ye Tian's words, everyone at the scene nodded and agreed with his statement.

At the same time, many people secretly gave a thumbs up and admired them.

Steven this guy is so cunning, he is impeccable, no one wants to catch his handle, no wonder he can be so beautiful!

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Okay, now I will explain this famous painting to everyone, whether you like it or not, since it has started, please listen to it patiently. If you don't like it, you can also leave.

In the course of the explanation, I only talk about what I have seen and the related content I know. I will not extend it or discuss it with any visitor. Please understand! "

"Understood, Steven, get started! We would love to hear your opinion!"

"No problem, Steven, we can understand your approach"

Everyone at the scene responded one after another, full of expectations.

When the scene became quieter, Ye Tianqinglang's voice immediately came out again.

"The content reflected in "Our Lady of the Rocks" is taken from the story of "The Baptism of Jesus" in Chapter 3 of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. Everyone must know about this.

Regarding religious matters, I don’t want to talk too much about it. Let’s take a look at the painting itself. In this painting, Leonardo adopted a pyramidal composition,..."

In the following time, Ye Tian broke it apart and gave a very detailed explanation of the painting in terms of composition, layout, and painting techniques.

After talking about this, he began to explain the various mysteries and many puzzling places shown in this painting. Perhaps this is the most interesting content for many visitors.

Of course, Ye Tian himself also wants to know what secrets are hidden behind this painting.

"As we all know, almost all of Da Vinci's paintings are shrouded in a layer of mystery, such as "Mona Lisa", "Last Supper", and this "Our Lady of the Rocks" is no exception!

This painting is full of hints and symbols, showing Leonardo’s enigmatic heart. Perhaps this is where Leonardo’s painting is interested, leaving puzzles that are difficult to crack to the world!

We can clearly see that the angel behind **** pointed to St. John with a very obvious gesture. What does this mean? There is no answer that can convince everyone.

Does Saint John, who is protected by the Virgin, mean that human beings need the protection of the Holy Spirit? And the dark cave depicted like a woman's womb, does it imply the origin of life?

Anyone who has read "The Da Vinci Code" knows that an important character in that book, the mentor, interprets the Holy Grail as a woman's womb, to be precise, the womb of Mary Magdalene.

It is also written in "The Da Vinci Code". In this painting, the relationship between St. John and **** seems to be inverted. This is very rare, even unique!

According to Dan Brown, this "Our Lady of the Rocks" is unconventional. It depicts Saint John praying for Jesus, not **** praying for Saint John. **** is obeying the authority of Saint John!

Also, look at the hands of the Virgin Mary, are they as sharp as eagle claws? Caress St. John's back with one hand, and place one hand on top of Jesus' head, as if pressing a head imaginary!

The most obvious and most creepy thing is that the finger that the archangel Uli stretched out looks like a gesture of cutting something? It seems that we are going to chop off the falsely pressed head in the hands of Our Lady! ..."

While explaining, Ye Tian also pointed to the details of the paintings and asked everyone to observe carefully.

Following the direction of his finger, the eyes of many visitors on the scene followed, observing the unusual details of the painting, everyone was watching very attentively!

Some of these devout believers have solemn expressions and reverent eyes, and they keep crossing their chests!

Ye Tian's explanation continues, professional and vivid!

"According to the analysis on "The Da Vinci Code", these places have hidden meanings and symbols, and they are not simple! Of course, they are only best-selling novels, they are literary descriptions, and have average credibility.

You must also know that Leonardo da Vinci has created two "Our Lady of the Rocks" in total. This is the first one, and the second one that is very similar to this one, and is collected in the National Gallery of London, England.

But in the second painting "Our Lady of the Rocks", Leonardo made a lot of changes in details. In that painting, the fingers of the Virgin are no longer so sharp, and the lines and outlines have become much softer.

Archangel Uli's finger pointing to St. John's unclear meaning was also removed, and Uli was no longer facing the visitors, but watching the ongoing ceremony, which was also much softer.

In addition, there are some changes in details. From these aspects, Dan Brown's analysis also has some truth. There may be some hidden secrets in the "Our Lady of the Rocks".

There are hidden secrets in the London "Our Lady of the Rocks". Through infrared analysis, there is an unfinished sketch of the painting hidden in the repainted "Our Lady of the Rocks".

If you put aside these possible metaphors and secrets, and from the perspective of artistry alone, the painting in front of you is more artistically outstanding and valuable than the London “Madonna of the Rocks”!

For the many metaphors and mysteries shown in this painting, the art world has been controversial and guessing for hundreds of years, but no one can give an accurate answer.

In the history of Western art, "The Madonna of the Rocks" is a very important top-level artwork. Its appearance marks the beginning of the heyday of Leonardo da Vinci's creation. It is a milestone!

About this Da Vinci's "Our Lady of the Rocks~www.wuxiaspot.com~, I will stop here. To be honest, no matter how gorgeous the language is used, I can't fully describe the beauty of this painting.

I suggest you to appreciate and comprehend this world famous painting with your heart. If you are interested in the secrets hidden in this painting, you may wish to study it in depth, it is also a kind of fun! "

After speaking, Ye Tian turned his head and nodded to everyone on the scene.

"Papa Papa"

Thunderous applause sounded again, extremely warm, resounding through the entire large gallery, resounding through the Louvre!

Everyone on the scene was applauding Ye Tian's wonderful explanation and applauding Da Vinci's outstanding painting. Everyone was full of enthusiasm and excitement!

After the applause fell a little, Ye Tian turned his head, then secretly opened the perspective, and looked at the world famous painting in front of him again!

What secret did Leonardo hide in this world famous painting? If there is a secret, don't escape the buddy's eyes!
