Happy Tycoon

Kuvayevich Antonov left the cause and effect of hiding this treasure on the back of the treasure map, so Yang Jing also knows that the amount of this treasure is not very large, and the gold and other things were all taken by Kolchak. The general took away to attract the attention of the Red Army, and the more precious artworks were taken by Antonov to go north and hid. Therefore, after getting the treasure map of the last tsar drawn by Kuvayevich Antonov, Yang Jing realized that the treasures in this treasure were definitely not simple, but he really didn't expect these treasures to be. It is so precious.

Some antiques need rescue protection after being unearthed or out of water. Even if these treasures of the last czar were not buried in the ground or left in the sunken ship for hundreds of years, they have been wrapped in oilcloth and heavy wooden boxes for more than a hundred years. If you open it boldly, you will be sure of these treasures. Will cause irreversible damage.

However, for rescue protection, special professional equipment is needed, such as argon tanks, nitrogen tanks and other equipment, which are all very necessary. With these devices, the antiques can be protected in these devices to avoid excessive oxidation of the antiques so as to best protect the antiques.

But Yang Jing does not have these professional equipments at hand.

But it doesn't matter, his storage space is even better than those of professional equipment. Can those professional equipment be comparable to storage spaces that are close to vacuum? And for the antiques put in the storage space, Yang Jing only needs a consciousness to control the antiques freely.

That's why Yang Jing didn't let anyone follow him into this cabin, because he needed storage space to see what treasures were in these big boxes.

Yang Jing first put a slender box close to two meters high into the storage space, and then with a move of consciousness, this tightly wrapped wooden box was completely opened in the storage space.

When the sculpture was exposed after the box was opened, Yang Jing's eyes almost came out!

There are ten recognized sculptures in the world today, and the recognized number one statue is one of the three post-Renaissance masters in Europe, Michelangelo Bonarotti created in the early sixteenth century called "The Great Marble sculpture of "Guardian".

Even the Venus with a broken arm, which is familiar to Chinese people, is lower than this "David" in the ranking of Western art circles.

The sculpture of "David" is also called "The Human Body of David." You can know what the sculpture is carved by just looking at the name. Yes, this famous sculpture is a standing fruit man.

"David" is based on the fairy tales in the "Old Testament". David is a character in the Bible who was the king of Israel from 1010 to 970 BC. During his reign, he overthrew the rule of the alien Philistines and unified Israel. The hero had a wonderful and moving story when he was young.

At that time, King Saul of Israel was reigning, and the Philistines invaded Israel. Among the Philistines was a warrior named Goliath, eight feet tall, wearing a steel helmet, and wearing armor. He was infinitely powerful and invincible on the battlefield. The Israelites were killed and wounded countless. Goliath had been in the battle for more than forty days. The Israelis dared not go to war. Even David's three brothers went to the front line to fight, and David was unable to participate in the war because he was young, so he went to the front line to deliver food to his brothers.

When David reached the front line, he saw the enemy giant Goliath rushing up, and the Israelis could not resist. At this time, David was full of anger and asked to go to war, in the shame of the snow nation. When King Saul saw that David was very confident, he gave him his armor. David refused the armor and was still dressed as a shepherd boy. He led the crowd onto the battlefield and scolded Goliath loudly. When Goliath was dizzy and dizzy, David used a sling machine to throw a stone. Goliath fainted. David rushed forward, drew out a sharp blade and cut off Goliath's head, saving Israel. From then on, the young David became a nationally renowned hero.

When Michelangelo made "David", he did not follow the scene in which David stomped the enemy's head after defeating the enemy, but chose the state of David when he was greeted by the battle.

In fact, the creation of "David" began before Michelangelo was born. At that time, the inspector of the Florence Duomo Works Office planned to appoint a sculptor to make a series of twelve large-scale Old Testament statues to be placed in the flower. On the arch of the Cathedral of Our Lady.

The first two sculptures were completed at the beginning of the fifteenth century. They were terracotta statues of Joshua and Hercules. Later, the famous sculptor Agostino prepared to make "David" and took one from Carrara. A suitable piece of marble was found in the stone field, but Agostino only completed the preliminary creation of "David", that is, the general shape of the legs, feet and torso.

Agostino did not continue to create for other reasons, so this marble was forgotten for a full twenty-five years. Until 1601, Michelangelo, who was only 26 years old, took over the marble and continued to create.

It took Michelangelo two and a half years to finally finish carving this marble, and finally formed the world-famous "David" sculpture.

It can be said that this sculpture has gone through the hands of two sculptors from beginning to completion, and it lasted for a full forty years!

Perhaps too many changes have been experienced, making this statue finally a well-known sculpture in the world. With this sculpture, Michelangelo became the most prestigious sculptor in the Western world at that time, and was eventually named one of the "Three Post-Renaissance Masters" by the Western art world.

"David" occupies the most important position in Michelangelo's life. This is also the basis for him to become one of the "Three Post-Renaissance Masters". It is conceivable how high the artistic value of this sculpture is. .

Perhaps the value of "David" is not as high as the treasure "Venus with Broken Arm" in the Louvre Museum in Paris, but it is definitely not low. Both are equivalent in terms of artistic quality and value.

How much is "Venus with Broken Arm"?

I'm afraid no one knows this. It's like asking how much "Smile of the Mona Lisa" is. There is no definite answer at all. There is only one answer—a priceless treasure.

The statue that appeared in front of us was a "David", a blue and black "David" statue.

This is certainly not the white marble "David" statue in the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, nor the two imitations standing in the center of Michelangelo square and in front of the Florence city hall. This is a bronze statue. "David" sculpture.

The authentic "David" sculpture is close to four meters in height and weighs six tons. The bronze sculpture in front of me is only about 1.5 meters high. Except for the wrong color and a lot of small size, no matter how it looks, it is no different from the real "David" sculpture.

At first, Yang Jing thought this sculpture was a copy, but after he used his appraisal skills to appraise, he was ecstatic to learn that this bronze "David" sculpture was actually from Michelangelo. hand!

As long as Yang Jing is willing, he can also use the appraisal skills to appraise the items that Yang Jing received into the storage space.

It's just that he really did not expect that this bronze sculpture was not a copy, but was actually made by Michelangelo. This surprise is really unexpected!

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have thought that Michelangelo would have made such a bronze "David" sculpture? And there is no record in history about Michelangelo’s production of the bronze "David" sculpture. If Yang Jing didn’t know that the identification skills could not go wrong, even he could not believe that this bronze "David" was from The hand of Michelangelo.

But if you think about it, it’s inevitable that "David" is definitely Michelangelo’s pinnacle in that respect, even if Michelangelo was only twenty when he created this sculpture. Six years old. But who can deny the excellence of "David"?

Faced with such a pinnacle work, how could Michelangelo not like it?

You know, before sculpting the stone sculpture of "David", Michelangelo made a model of it with great care. After the "David" colossus was completed, the model was carefully collected by Michelangelo. If he didn't particularly like this sculpture, how could he treasure the "David" model?

However, after "David" was created, it belonged to Florence, not to him personally, so Michelangelo could only collect the model of "David".

Since even the "David" model is treasured, why can't Michelangelo make a bronze "David" sculpture by himself? This is definitely possible.

Michelangelo is not only good at stone sculpture, he is also very good at bronze sculpture.

In 2015, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England once exhibited a pair of bronze sculptures. This pair of bronze sculptures engraved two handsome and masculine men riding mightily on fierce leopards.

This pair of bronze statues was collected by a British collector and caused a sensation after being exhibited.

A Swiss research institute used neutron scanning to do further research and judged that the bronze sculpture was made in the early 16th century. Peter Abraham, professor of clinical anatomy at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, proposed that every detail of the sculpture is a standard Michelangelo—from the strong abdominal muscles to the belly button, they are exactly the same as the marble sculpture "David".

In addition, the human body painted by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel is quite similar to the sculpture~www.readwn.com~ In the end, this pair of bronze sculptures proved to be created by Michelangelo between 1506 and 1508. At that time, the artist was 30 years old and eager to succeed.

And this pair of bronze sculptures is also recognized as the only pair of Michelangelo's bronze sculptures in the world so far.

But are those bronze sculptures really the only bronze sculptures of Michelangelo left in the world? If that pair is the only one left, what is this bronze sculpture in front of you?

And just now after the appraisal skills, this bronze "David" sculpture was created by Michelangelo from 1605 and ended in 1606. Analyzing from this time, the bronze "David" was created before the creation began. The pair of bronze leopard warriors.

Yang Jing has no doubt that once this bronze "David" sculpture is released, the sensation it will cause is definitely not comparable to the pair of leopard riding men. This is the bronze "David" after all!

The marble "David" sculpture is well-known, but have you heard of the bronze "David" also from Michelangelo? Have you seen it?

P: Bow and thank "Lonely Heart" 100 for the reward.
