Chapter 298
What appeared in front of everyone was an oil on canvas full of romantic overtones, no longer a print.
In the center of the picture is a small boat, carrying two men in robes, crossing a long black river with choppy waves.
On the bow of the boat, a naked man wrapped only in a long blue cloth was pulling the bridge hard.
In the rough black river around them, a group of naked and hideous people are surrounding the boat.
In order to board this small boat, these people immersed in the river are desperately fighting, fighting, roaring madly, and everyone is struggling in despair!
In order to get on the boat, someone actually used his teeth, holding the stern with both hands and clenching the side of the ship with his teeth.
Some stepped on the woman's belly and climbed into the boat with force, while others scuffled together in the water.
In the distance, half of the body of a person had climbed onto the boat, and his eyes were blood-red.
Others floated in the river, their expressions sad and desperate, as if crying.
This thin and waving boat, struggling to navigate the rough river, is teetering and in danger of capsizing at any time.
The two people standing on the boat, one of them opened his hands in horror, and he was about to fall, and the whole person seemed to be deeply threatened by the fear of death.
Another person behind him reached out in time to support him, his expression solemn, and he was staring coldly at the people around him who were desperately struggling in the river.
Everything presented in this oil painting is like a tragic and passionate drama, which is shocking!
Its dynamic layout, unrestrained lines, abundant passion, moving tragic power, sinister environment, and oppressive tones.
All of this condensed into a terrifying, tense, and even hideous atmosphere, which was suffocating!
The first time I saw this oil painting, both Xiao Ran and many fans in the live broadcast room were completely shocked!
The scene and the live broadcast room were all quiet, and everyone was silent.
A moment later, there was an exclamation in the live broadcast room.
"Wow! This is art, with the power to shock people!
"Compared with this oil painting, those pop works of art just now are simply rubbish!"
Han Momo of Lop Nor said in amazement.
"Xiao Ran, introduce this oil painting, which art master's work is this?"
"Although this painting looks very good, it exudes a terrifying atmosphere, and it doesn't seem suitable to be stored at home,"
said Tianya Mingyue Dao Jiaojiao.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle and immediately began to introduce.
"That's right, this painting is really not suitable for collecting at home, because it describes a scene in hell!"
"This long black river in the painting is the abyss of the Styx in Western mythology, and those who struggle in the river are the undead of sinners
" "Those roaring flames in the vista are the flames of purgatory, and there is purgatory!"
"For our Chinese, such a painting obviously cannot be stored at home, it is too obscure!"
Before the words fell, there was an exclamation in the live broadcast room.
"Me! It turned out to be a scene of hell, no wonder there is an atmosphere of horror and despair!
"That is to say, foreigners will collect this kind of art, Chinese who dares to hang such a painting at home, and see it in the middle of the night must not be scared to death!"
"That's right, that's true!"
Xiao Ran nodded, and was ready to continue explaining.
At this moment, Elaine, who had just woken up, suddenly said excitedly:
"Oh my God! This is the romantic lion, one of the masterpieces of Delacroix
, "Dante's Ark" "It is based on Dante's "Divine Comedy", depicting the poet Virgil leading Dante through hell in a small
boat" "The frightened man on the boat is Dante, and the poet Virgil wearing a laurel crown" "Virgil is
the guide of Dante's journey to hell and his spiritual teacher
" "In the Louvre, Delacroix has several personal exhibition rooms, with a lofty status, and there is this "Dante's Ark" in the collection
" "Since I was a child, I don't remember how many times I have seen this painting, but I never expected that I actually saw it here"
With these words, everyone turned their heads to look at Elaine, their eyes full of envy and curiosity.
She envies her experience growing up in the Louvre and spending time with countless top antique works of art every day.
Such a life experience is what every person in the industry dreams of.
However, there are a few more people who have this opportunity, very few!
Curiously, since this "Dante's Ark" is in the Louvre, how can it appear here?
Is this a fake? But who can create such a passionate fake?
After a pause, David asked curiously:
"Elaine, we know the romantic master Delacroix, but we don't know much about this "Dante's Ark".
Another point, since "Dante's Ark" is in the Louvre, what is the matter with this painting?
"Could it be that this Dante Ark is a fake?" But this painting is very infectious, how to look at it does not look like a fake"
Not only David, but almost everyone in the live and live broadcast room, has such questions.
Elaine looked at David, ready to introduce the situation.
At this moment, Xiao Ran stood up and took the stubble.
"Let me explain, I believe it can solve the doubts in everyone's hearts"
He didn't want Elaine to be too showy, that would be no good.
By her side, Elaine can behave and provide cover for herself.
But she can't be too dazzling, she must be restrained.
If she performs too well, many people in the outside world will think that her role is very important.
In this way, someone must come to the door and dig into the wall, trying to lure.
This does not matter, Elaine, who has long been a billionaire, will not be moved at all.
But if someone harbors covetousness, such as kidnapping her to blackmail herself, it's troublesome!
Because of this, Xiao Ran took the stubble.
Subsequently, he began to introduce Delacroix and this "Dante's Ark" Delacroix
, the most typical representative of the French romantic school of the nineteenth century, known as the lion of romanticism!
He produced a large number of romantic paintings during his lifetime, the most famous of which is "Freedom Leading the People", which pushed the romantic movement to its peak.
This "Dante's Boat" is his first romantic painting.
It is also the founder of the French Romantic School and has an extraordinary position in the history of Western art.
1822
Delacroix, only 24 years old, took this "Dante's Boat" and went straight to the salon of the Louvre to exhibit and break into the Parisian art scene.
The birth of this romantic painting caused an uproar in the Parisian art world at that time, and the French romantic school began.
Delacroix thus became the standard-bearer of the Romantic movement, setting off a new artistic revolution and establishing his central position in the Romantic school.
Delacroix is considered one of the brightest stars in the history of French and Western art, standing at the very top of Western art history.
Countless artists after him, from Monet to Picasso, from Cézanne to Matisse, looked to him as a spiritual guide and role model.
His painting "Dante's Ark", also recognized as the beginning of the French Romantic school, is permanently treasured by the Louvre.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran has introduced the origin of Delacroix and this "Dante's Boat", as well as its place in art history.
Immediately afterwards, his words suddenly changed.
"Delacroix was a very prolific painter, and when he died, there were more than nine thousand works left with him
" "Legend has it that in order to make a splash, he created a series of Dante's Arks, and then selected the best one and took it to the Louvre" "
As he wished! The French Romantic School was born, and then it was in full swing, quickly sweeping the entire French art world" Hearing
this, everyone let out a burst of admiration.
However, no one interrupted Xiao Ran loudly, and everyone was listening.
"The rest of the "Dante Ark" was later dispersed into the hands of many collectors, some have been handed down, and some have disappeared
" "As far as I know, this size of "Dante's Ark", a total of three, is a series of paintings, which has been collected in the hands of a family in Bordeaux
" "What I didn't expect was that I would actually see a painting of "Dante's Ark" here
" "Although I haven't had time to seriously identify it, I'm sure, This is definitely Delacroix's authentic work
" "David is right, such a passionate romantic painting, except for the romantic lion, other painters can't paint it at all"
Before the words fell, everyone had already looked at the other two black painting bags that had not yet been opened.
Without exception, everyone's eyes were extremely hot and almost burning.
"Sean, don't tell me that the other two paintings of Dante's Ark in this series are in
these two painting bags" "If this is the case, the discovery of these three "Dante Ark" will definitely cause a huge sensation,"
Patrick said, pointing to the two unopened painting bags, his voice trembling with excitement.
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and nodded with a smile.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, and the possibility is extremely high!"
"That's right, if this series of Dante's Ark were all here, it would definitely sensation the American art world!"
