, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
Under the guidance of Ye Tian, Peter and Derek successfully passed the last section of the corridor and came to the end of the arched corridor, which is also the origin of the Fibonacci arc.
With their arrival, this dark space located deep underground suddenly became brighter.
What appeared in front of them was a Renaissance-style rotunda, small in size, about three meters high, with a vault above it, and the whole body was made of granite stones, which looked very strong.
This rotunda is just above the origin, the end of the arched corridor.
It can be seen that there are two arches at the front and back of the rotunda.
Peter and the others are located at the front arch, and the other arch is directly opposite, leading to a space shrouded in darkness. For the time being, it is not clear what is going on there.
On the walls and vaults of this rotunda, there are many exquisite patterns and patterns, as well as some murals, but because the outside is covered with a layer of dust and a layer of moss, it is not clear for the time being.
In addition, there are several niches about 30 cm high and uniform in size on the wall about one and five meters above the ground. In each niche is a bronze candlestick, which is also covered with dust and moss.
Unlike the situation in the corridor, there are no hornet-like shooting holes on the wall of this rotunda, and the situation on the upper vault is the same. It seems that there are no traps here.
And in front of the walls on the left and right sides of the rotunda, each stands a bronze statue of the archangel, and the marble base is about 1.8 meters tall!
The archangel standing in front of the wall on the left is Gabriel, the sheriff of the gods, and the archangel standing in front of the wall on the right is Raphael who guards human souls.
They each held a cross scepter and stood quietly in front of the wall, with solemn expressions and pious eyes, as if they were praying in a low voice.
In the very center of the rotunda, at the origin, stands a bronze statue of the Virgin Mary. The statue is about 1.5 meters high and the marble base is two meters high.
Like most statues of the Virgin Mary, she lowered her head and looked at the baby in her arms, her eyes full of love, and her body exuded the sacred maternal brilliance!
Needless to say, who is the baby who is qualified to lie in the arms of the Virgin, except for the newly born Jesus?
At this time, Ye Tian was standing in front of this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary, admiring this antique artwork created more than 500 years ago!
Seeing Peter and Derek coming, he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at these two guys.
"Peter, Derek, you can relax appropriately. I have thoroughly checked the rotunda. There are no traps here, it is very safe!
I have successfully found the master control switch for the last section of the arched corridor and turned it off. As long as we don't get out of this rotunda, we won't be in danger.
Obviously, we have passed the many tests that Da Vinci has put in great effort to solve the riddles he left behind, and there should be no traps next! "
Before the words were over, the two guys Peter and Derek cheered.
"Awesome! Steven, finally don't worry about it!"
"Wow! These da Vinci tests are so scary, I never want to go through them again!"
After a lot of cheers, the two guys began to look at the situation in the rotunda.
After scanning this place quickly, Derek pointed to the statue of the Virgin Mary standing in the center of the rotunda and said:
"Steven, I don't understand how this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary and the other two archangel statues were transported here? Given their size, I am afraid it is difficult to pass the spiral staircase.
One more thing, this statue of the Virgin Mary and the two statues of archangels are the works of the master sculptor? Even I can see that these three bronze sculptures are very exquisite and valuable! "
Ye Tian looked at this guy, then smiled and said:
"You're right, Derek, with the size of these three bronze statues, although you can barely pass the spiral staircase, the difficulty is very high. If you accidentally get stuck on the spiral staircase, you can't advance or retreat!
The reason why they can be transported here is actually very simple. There may be another entrance to this hidden deep underground space. If I am not mistaken, that entrance should lead directly to Sforza Castle!
The vents here should also be on the side of Sforza Castle! I guess that at the end of the 15th century, when the French attacked Milan, Ludovic and Leonardo hurriedly transported the treasures of the Sforza family here!
What they used was probably the entrance on the side of Sforza Castle, and the entrance in this historic building was Ludovic's last hole card. It is estimated that only he and Leonardo knew it!
The three bronze statues in front of us, the organ traps in the stone gates and arched corridors, various lethal weapons and devices, and the other large objects hidden in this underground space are the best proof.
In order to keep secret, and to preserve the treasures of his family, after smuggling all the top art and gold and silver treasures here, Ludovic and Leonardo completely sealed the entrance to the castle.
They only left one vent over there, it is estimated that they can only ventilate! From then on, this piece of underground space that is likely to hide the treasures of the Sforza family, only the passage through which we enter is left!
Of course, this is just my speculation. Whether it is correct or not is not necessarily correct. It needs to be verified. These are not important anymore. What is certain is that everything hidden in this underground space belongs to me! "
Hearing these words, Peter and Derek Qiqi nodded, agreeing with this speculation.
The facts are right in front of us, and there is no doubt about it!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:
"As for the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary and the two archangel statues, I just studied it roughly and I can basically confirm that they are all masterpieces and valuable antique relics.
In particular, this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary has an obvious early Renaissance style, and the carving skills are very good. It is obviously the work of a top carving master and a top art piece of invaluable value.
From this point of view, combined with some of the characteristics of this statue and the personal style of the sculptor, I can basically be sure that this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary should come from Donatello.
Donatello is the most outstanding sculptor in the early Renaissance and the greatest sculptor in the 15th century. He is especially good at creating solemn and elegant figure sculptures, such as this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary.
Before Michelangelo was born, Donatello was the greatest sculptor in the Renaissance. His handed down works are quite rare, and every sculpture is a top-notch art of great value!
What I didn't expect was that I found a sculpture of Donatello here, and this sculpture is intact. It is no exaggeration. This is the most perfect sculpture of Donatello that I have found so far!
It is conceivable that the emergence of this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary will definitely cause a huge sensation and attract countless attentions. When I put it on the art market, it will completely detonate the market! "
Before they finished speaking, Peter and Derek were shocked again, staring at Ye Tian dumbfounded, and at the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary in front of them~www.wuxiaspot.com~Welfare] Follow the public.. 【Book Friends Base Camp】, you can get cash/points for reading books every day!
Who is Donatello, how lofty his position in the history of Western art, how rare and expensive his sculptures are ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ They all know very well, that's why they are so shocked!
The reaction of these two guys was completely within Ye Tian's expectation, and he was not surprised at all!
He just chuckled softly, then continued:
"The two bronze statues of the archangel on the left and right should be carved in the middle of the Renaissance, that is, in the middle and late fifteenth century. From the perspective of artistic style, they are not Donatello's works.
Due to time constraints and the two statues are covered with a layer of dust and moss, I have not had time to carefully identify the two sculptures, but I am sure that they are both top art works.
And the artists who carved these two statues are by no means unknown! Later, I will carefully study and identify the two archangel statues. I believe I will find the correct answer and solve the mystery soon! "
Peter and Derek nodded again, and they had no doubt about what Ye Tian said!
In their view, there is no antique art in this world that Ye Tian doesn't recognize. This has been proven countless times, and it is a truth that is unbreakable!
