Treasure Hunt all over the World

The whistle was four Italian boys, about in their teens and twenties, all of them with oily noodles, standing on the square seven or eight meters away, laughing happily, and looking at this side.

Beside them, there are several scooters parked, each of which has undergone some modification, looks fancy, and its performance is unknown.

Just as Ye Tian expected, those guys were whistling at Betty, and they looked at Betty up and down unscrupulously, making no secret of their intentions.

Seeing Ye Tian and Betty look at their side, those guys not only failed to converge, but they were even more energetic. They continued to whistle and their voices became louder.

"Fak! What the **** do these **** idiots want to do? Are you bored with life? Let's go and see, I don't mind giving them a ride!"

Ye Tian cursed in a low voice with a sullen face, and he was going to go and show the idiots a little bit.

At this moment, Anderson suddenly grabbed him, shook his head and whispered:

"Steven, there is no need to care about those idiots. This is a typical Italian man. He can't help but want to tease when he meets a beautiful woman, not to mention Betty such a beautiful and **** beauty.

Just like the performance in the famous movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", every Italian man is self-proclaimed and self-proclaimed as a love sage, no matter how old or young, it is this virtue, no exception!

They may just think that Betty is very beautiful and sexy, so they can't help but want to tease. There is no malice. Since we have come to Italy, this situation is inevitable! "

Before Anderson spoke, the idiots suddenly stopped their frivolous whistling behavior, and looked at Ye Tian and the others in astonishment, a bit of fear in everyone's eyes.

Obviously, it was only then that those idiots recognized Ye Tian wearing light-colored sunglasses and realized what a stupid thing he had done just now. He was absolutely seeking his own death!

However, it is too late to regret now!

Although Ye Tian was pulled by Anderson, he didn't have the trouble of finding those idiots in the past, but the Italian policemen who followed would not let these idiots make trouble.

Two of the Italian policemen in plain clothes, gritted their teeth and walked to the idiots, ready to clean up those guys!

Of course, the two policemen were not venting their anger for Ye Tian. They knew very well that Ye Tian and the others were all armed with deadly weapons, and they were all cruel. Killing was as easy as drinking water, and they were definitely not something idiots could afford.

If, because of those idiots who do not live or die, start a fight, and even turn Michelangelo Square into a battlefield where bullets fly, then these people will be completely finished, absolutely bad luck!

Because of this, the two police officers walked over angrily, ready to quell the situation as soon as possible before Ye Tian and the others took action!

Seeing that the police had taken action, Ye Tian didn't bother to take care of those idiots.

He glanced at those guys with disdain, then raised a **** at the idiots, then took his gaze back and said to the people around him:

"Let's go, let's take a good look at this famous statue. Although it is a replica, it still has a certain appreciation value."

After speaking, Ye Tian walked forward with Betty and walked toward the tall "David".

In a blink of an eye, the group of them arrived in front of the pedestal of the "David" statue, stopped at a distance of five or six meters from the pedestal, raised their heads and began to admire this famous human sculpture.

This famous sculpture is about 5.5 meters high, and its content is the expression of the Jewish hero King David and the giant Goliath before the duel.

The statue has a firm complexion, his head deflected to the left, and the tendons on his neck are raised, as if he is about to fight, the muscles near his upper lip and nose are tight, and his eyes are intensively looking into the distance.

David's drooping right hand has a raised vein, which is obviously tense, but his body is very relaxed. The weight is placed on his right leg, his right hand is holding a stone, his left hand is bent forward, and the stone throwing belt is placed on his left shoulder.

There was a sharp contrast between his tense expression and relaxed posture, indicating that David had just made the decision to fight, but he had not yet set foot on the battlefield and was preparing for the battle.

From a closer look, one can find that this human sculpture has many unusual places.

Under Michelangelo’s knife, the statue’s eyes were like hearts. Many people thought it was a failure, but it turned out that it was the perfect finishing touch.

The upper body of the statue, especially the head and left hand, is larger than the normal human body. This is probably because the statue was originally placed on the roof, and the upper part of the statue was specially enlarged so that people can appreciate it from below.

Compared with the height of the statue, the front and back width of the statue is very narrow, which may be related to the original shape of the marble.

This statue stands on a high marble pedestal, in the center of Michelangelo Square, overlooking the people on the square, overlooking the quietly flowing Arno River at the foot of the mountain, and overlooking the whole of Florence!

Standing in front of the statue and enjoying it quietly for a while, Ye Tian began to introduce the famous sculpture to Betty and the others and the story hidden behind it.

"Although the statue of David in front of you is a bronze replica, you can also appreciate David's perseverance, perfect figure, and the combination of strength and beauty.

Unlike other heroic images that show David defeating the giant Goliath, cutting off Goliath's head with his own hands, and holding it in his hands, Michelangelo chose the scene when David was greeted by the battle.

With his own knife, he vividly portrayed an image of a hero who is struggling for his career: young, handsome, strong, with a firm attitude, looking ahead, always ready to fight.

The story of David defeating the giant Goliath and becoming the king of Israel, I will not go into detail here. It is recorded in the Bible. I think you all know it too.

Hearing this, Betty and the others nodded gently.

They all grew up in the Western world, and many stories in the "Bible" are familiar to you, including the story of King David's victory over the giant Goliath.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"The sculptor who originally signed the contract and was responsible for carving this statue of David was another famous sculptor in the Renaissance, Donatello. The carving project began in 1464.

It is a pity that Donatello only did some initial work and stopped carving. The specific reason is unknown. He did not complete this statue of David until his death in 1466.

For this statue of David, this is an extremely lucky thing. Decades after Donatello's death, the Florentine authorities decided to find another artist to complete the work.

What they found was Michelangelo. In 1501, Michelangelo took the job, and it took nearly three years to finally complete this great sculpture.

In January 1504, when the statue was almost completed, people discussed the location of the statue. The original plan was to put it on the top floor of the church as part of the twelve heroes in the Old Testament.

However, the beauty of this statue was shocking, and eventually people decided to place it at the entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio in the city hall to replace a bronze statue of Donatello, representing Florence's spirit of defying power.

In the history of Western art, this statue is considered to be one of the most boastful male human figures. Not only that, "David" is a concrete embodiment of Renaissance humanism.

Its praise to the human body ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ on the surface is a ‘revival’ of ancient Greek art, but it actually marks that people have freed themselves from the dark Middle Ages and freed from the suffocating shackles.

Michelangelo injected great enthusiasm in the carving process. What he created was not only a human statue, but a symbol of the artistic expression of the ideological liberation movement.

As the highest state of sculpture art in the entire era of the Renaissance, Michelangelo's "David" will always radiate an extremely bright light in the history of art,..."

With Ye Tian's explanation, Betty and Anderson have been deeply attracted by this famous sculpture, and their understanding of this famous sculpture has become more profound!

At this time, it was not just Betty and the others who listened to Ye Tian's explanation.

Many tourists who visited the Michelangelo Square saw or heard that Ye Tian was here to explain the statue of David. They immediately heard the wind, gathered here quickly, and listened enthusiastically.

As for the Italian idiots with oily noodles just now, they have long since disappeared, and they have been blasted away by the Italian policemen in plain clothes!
