I have a paradise

Chapter 660

"Portrait of a Young Man" is authored by Raphael, who is called the Three Great Renaissance Masters along with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, and this painting is his outstanding work.

Wang Yi carefully put the oil painting back into the box. He knew that the museum he was about to build had an additional treasure of the town hall. Before, he always saw the national treasure of China in foreign museums. Now, Feng Shui turns around. It is the turn of the National Treasures of Foreigners to be exhibited in the Museum of China.

After putting this box in place, Wang Yi opened another box next to it and quietly placed a gorgeous crown in the box.

The entire crown is made of gold, with a lot of gems inlaid on it. This crown is not round, but in the shape of a prism. The crown is hinged with eight high-purity gold plates with a round bottom. Then use two iron bars to link them with gold rivets.

On the surface of the crown, there are many pearls and 144 gems. The largest sapphire is about the size of a thumb, and there are emeralds, rubies, diamonds, black gems, etc., which are inlaid with pearls. On the eight gold plates, there are many enamel patterns on these gold plates, and the content is different. They are all religious stories from the "Old Testament" and "New Testament", symbolizing the monarchy and the gods.

Its style is very different from the European royal crowns we see now. There is an arch at the top of the crown and a cross above the arch.Although Wang Yi didn't know who owned this crown, it did not prevent him from knowing that it was another national treasure.

Wang Yi reached out and picked up the crown. This crown weighs more than a catty. The weight of such a heavy crown on his head is really unbearable for ordinary people.Wipe clean the dust on the crown, and this crown, which symbolizes imperial power, shines brightly again!

After putting this crown away, Wang Yi is going to find some experts to appraise it after he leaves here. At least he must know who the crown belongs to.After putting away the crown, Wang Yi opened the other boxes to continue counting.

The boxes are oil paintings, drawings, watercolors and prints.

These works include French painter, representative of Impressionism and one of the founders, Claude Monet, Austrian genius painter Egon Schiller, Cezanne, Matisse, Otto Dix, Van Gogh and other masters. , As well as some famous paintings of modernist masters such as Reno, Picasso, Chagall, etc., which are considered to be'degenerate art'.

The number is very large.

There are probably more than 3,000 pictures.

However, compared to a secret report by the German official, as of July 1944, the cultural relics transported from Western Europe to Germany were loaded with 137 railway wagons, a total of 4174 boxes, 20973 pieces, and 10890 paintings,... ...

Goering has a collection of 5000 world famous paintings. The huge Kalin Palace still cannot hold the famous paintings plundered by Goring. Because the walls of Kalin Palace are full of famous paintings, there is no room to spare, so some paintings can only be hung on others. The front of the painting.

The artworks hidden by the mustache in the Ottosee salt mine on the outskirts of Linz to prepare for the super museum include about 6,577 masterpieces. After Germany conquered France, thousands of artworks were collected in the National Gallery in Paris. Then unified transport these artworks back to Germany.

The 3000 famous paintings are only a small part of the famous paintings that Nacui plundered all of Europe.

Many of these paintings have appeared in more than 40 film collections in the National Archives of the United States.

These albums are photos of artworks looted by the German army in the occupied countries during World War II. These albums are exclusively for Mustache to read. He selects the artworks and transports them back to German museums.

There are also paintings under the label of'degenerate art' appearing in the'degenerate art exhibition'.

The degenerate artwork refers to the paintings of Impressionism, Cubism and Modernism, including paintings by Kandinsky, Otto Dix, Reno, Van Gogh, Picasso, Chagall and other masters.

The reason for the label of'degenerate artwork' is related to Mustache's personal aesthetic orientation.

Moustache once hoped to become a painter. When he was in middle school, Moustache had only one course of "free drawing" which was excellent, but he failed in mathematics and natural history, which prevented him from graduating. When he was young, he applied to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts twice All failed.

This experience made him very hostile to Impressionist paintings, so after he took power, Moustache dismissed Impressionism and Modernism as "mad and decadent". The confusion of the brain proved that anyone painted the sky green, Painting the fields blue should be castrated. Their works are'deformed and muddled.'

A catalog named "Entartetekunst" was compiled in 1941-1942, "Entartetekunst" was translated into degenerate art.Some of these paintings appeared in museums and galleries in various countries such as the National Museum of Germany, the Berlin Art Museum, the National Gallery in Paris, and the Jode Palmet Museum in France during and before World War II.

Even many famous paintings here are the treasures of some famous European museums.

For example, I just saw Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man".

There is also Da Vinci’s "Last Supper (study), study of man profile and two riders, study of apostle’s head and buildings, study, study of Vitruvian proportions, study of star flower lilies and other plants, study of human skulls, ......Wait. Sketch, draft, Mona Lisa (part 3) oil painting.

There is also an oil painting about Napoleon. Judging from the content of this oil painting, it should be the scene when Napoleon conquered Vienna. The name of this painting should be "Napoleon's Entry into Vienna".

Napoleon had a dedicated court painter named Jacques Louis David. This painter painted a lot of oil paintings for Napoleon, and each one is a fine art work. The most famous one is called "The Coronation of Napoleon I". This painting still appears in history textbooks. The painting shows Napoleon putting a crown on his queen. In fact, this painting does not depict Napoleon's crowning.

Because he refused to kneel to the Pope at the time, and then directly grabbed the kingdom from the Pope at that time and put it on himself. David did not paint this scene in order to take care of the face of the Holy See, but such a major coronation ceremony. What should I do if I can't stop painting?

David thought of a way to paint the scene where Napoleon put a crown on his wife, so that he did not violate Napoleon's orders and took care of the face of the Holy See.The painting "Napoleon's Entry into Vienna" that Wang Yi found here is probably the work of this David.

"It is very possible that this oil painting was plundered by Germany from Gaul. No matter who this painting belonged to before, he now belongs to me!" Wang Yi said happily.

ps: Sorry, I'm too tired today, just watch.
