I have a paradise

Chapter 666 The Louvre (2)

After entering the Louvre, Wang Yi and the others chose the first area to visit, the famous Michelangelo Corridor.

As a professional tour guide, Tina began to explain to Wang Yi as soon as she walked into the Michelangelo corridor.

"Sir, here is the famous Michelangelo Corridor, where a large number of sculptures from the history of Western art are displayed, many of which are priceless treasures with extremely high artistic value.

The reason why it is called the Michelangelo Corridor is that there are two famous sculptures of Michelangelo's slaves, "The Bound Slave" and "The Dying Slave".

Except for the two slave sculptures, all other known Michelangelo sculptures are in Italy. These two slave statues are also the most famous sculptures in the Michelangelo corridor.

In addition, there are also famous sculptures such as "Pusisa and Eros Canova", "Laocoon", "Louis XIV Horseman", "Wrestling", "Prisoner of War" and other famous sculptures.

Two sculptures that rank among the Louvre’s Three Treasures, also known as the Three Treasures of the World, "The Statue of the Victory of Samothrace" and "Venus de Milo" are not in this corridor.

The statue of Goddess of Victory is in the stairwell from the first floor to the second floor of Denon Hall, and the statue of Venus with Broken Arm is in the Greek Sculpture Hall in front. These two sculptures are definitely not to be missed, we will see them later!"

Tina took them to see the two statues carved by Michelangelo, and then came to an atrium courtyard. On one side of the courtyard was a tall bronze statue, "Louis XIV Horseback Bronze Statue."

This bronze statue of Louis XIV is also the longest reigning monarch in Europe. He has been on the throne for 72 years.It was also during this period that the Bourbon dynasty reached its strongest period,

In the history of Gaul, Louis XIV has a very important historical position, and he is also a very accomplished king, especially the victory of a series of foreign wars, which made his image magnificent.

It is a pity that his frequent wars and the extravagant life style in the later period of the ruling period brought the French treasury to the brink of bankruptcy and personally destroyed his image of being a majestic in the hearts of the people of Gaul.

Louis XIV became the King of Gaul when he was five years old. After that, he lived in the Louvre for a long 72 years. Out of his love for art, he bought a lot of precious artwork.Louis XIV had been emperor for seventy-two years. He killed his son and grandson. In the end, Louis XV was already his great-grandson when he became king.

How can there be a prince for forty years?To be honest, this is true, let alone the prince of forty years, what did the prince Charles of 70 years say?And he, the prince of 70 years, might have to work for a few more years.

Due to the extravagance of Louis XIV, coupled with Louis XV, who was the successor of the King of Gaul, who said the famous saying "After I die, even if the flood is overwhelming", the situation in Gaul has become more and more corrupt.

By the time Louis XV's grandson, Louis XVI succeeded him as the King of Gaul, the situation in Gaul has basically reached the point where it is irreversible, and the conditions for the Great Revolution have generally matured.

In fact, Louis XVI was not a bad king. Compared with the previous two terms, his life should be said to be rather frugal. Because of stuttering, he didn't like to take care of government affairs, and only liked unlocking locks, repairing locks, and repairing clocks and watches.

But it is a pity that he married a super prodigal wife, even more crazy and extravagant than the previous two Gaul kings. With the efforts of Queen Mary, the Gaul revolution finally broke out!

This incident tells us that we must take good care of our wives and must not let them buy and buy, like 3.7 Goddess Day, 6.18, Double Ten, Double Eleven, you must cut off the network signal, otherwise you I don't know how much your flower will be overdrawn.Once a woman becomes crazy, no one can stop it, and it may even trigger a revolution!

Louis XVI was also unlucky. The emperor who met two offsprings even married a wife who was a pitted husband. Originally, the treasury didn’t have much money. After the tossing of the first two emperors, he was already in debt. It was Louis XVI’s turn. Precarious.

Originally, Louis XVI himself was very frugal, not extravagant and wasteful. If he followed his way, he might be able to survive for a few more years, but unfortunately he met a careless wife, Queen Mary, who was more than Louis XVI from Austria. 15 Louis XIV must be able to spend money.

Within a few years, the originally stretched economy could no longer be sustained. I borrowed money from my subjects before, and now I am unable to repay it. At that time, it was not ordinary people who were large nobles. Yes, Louis XVI could only collect taxes, but at that time the tax in Gaul was only levied on civilians, and nobles and churches did not pay taxes.

Originally, the common people didn't have much money, and wanted to collect taxes from the nobles and monks. Louis XVI didn't have the courage. He continued to increase taxes on the common people, and the common people couldn't survive.Therefore, in this situation of domestic and foreign difficulties, the revolution broke out, and the magnificent revolution can also be seen as a violent debt collection activity triggered by the debt problem.

There are a lot of treasures in the Louvre. Wang Yi and the others were chatting, laughing and chatting while enjoying various artworks along the way, and strolling towards the Greek Sculpture Museum.

The Greek Sculpture Museum of the Louvre is also on the first floor, at the junction of the Denon Pavilion and the Sully Pavilion. On the left is the Ancient Roman Pavilion of the Denon Pavilion, and on the right is the Ancient Greek Pavilion of the Sully Pavilion!

While talking, Ye Tian and his party walked into the Greek Sculpture Museum.

As soon as they entered this pavilion, they saw the famous "Venus de Milo" statue, the treasure of the Louvre, one of the world's three treasures.

This beautiful lady, who unfortunately lost her arms and has a red upper body, stands at the entrance of the Greek Sculpture Museum, showing her beauty to every visitor who walks through the Museum!

Although this Venus of Milos is called a treasure of the world, Wang Yi didn’t catch it very much. According to legend, Venus was the god of beauty among the Olympians, but according to the image on this sculpture Look, the most beautiful goddess in the legend is really ordinary.

If the god of beauty in the myth really grows like this, Wang Yi will doubt the eyes of the Olympus gods, but the myths and legends about the Olympus gods can really be called a bloody incest* In the romantic drama, except for a few of the gods, the others are really trying to die.

For example, Zeus who likes to plant seeds everywhere, Hera who likes beautiful boys, and the most weird one is Apollo. Besides being a lover with Venus, he also likes a beautiful boy.The son of King Sparta, the beautiful boy Yacintos.

This may be the earliest recorded homosexuality in the world.
