I have a paradise

After staying for a few minutes in front of the statue of Venus, after carefully admiring the statue, Wang Yi and the others moved away and walked to the next ancient Greek sculpture.

Next, Wang Yi and the others admired "Eros Teasing Centaur", "Aphrodite Squatting", and "Kneid's Afro," which was the same as today's "Mona Lisa". "Di Te".

Then came a series of famous sculptures in the history of Western art, such as "The Tormented Marcias", "Athena Wearing a Helmet", "The Fighter", "The Three Giants of Ancient Greek Philosophy" and so on.

Basically all of these sculptures are based on Greek mythology. After enjoying the last sculpture in the Greek Sculpture Museum, "God of War Ares", Tina immediately raised her hand to look at her watch, and then said to Wang Yi: "Sir, let's go Admire the other treasure of the Louvre, "The Statue of Victory of Samothrace", and then our visit today will end, and it is time to have dinner.

"Time flies." Wang Yi looked at the time, then nodded at Tina.

"Then let's enjoy the Statue of Victory!"

With that said, Tina stepped out and led Wang Yi to the outside of the Greek Sculpture Museum.

Like the statue of Venus with the broken arm, this statue of the goddess of victory is another treasure of the Louvre, and it is also known as one of the world's three treasures!

"The Statue of the Goddess of Victory in Samothrace", about 2.44 meters high, is a famous sculpture from the Hellenistic period. It is regarded as a rare treasure, and the author has no way to verify it.

This statue was discovered in 1863 on the island of Samothrace in the northern part of the Aegean Sea, hence the name "Statue of the Victory of Samothrace".

At the beginning of the discovery, this famous statue was a pile of fragments. After many years of meticulous restoration, it was able to stand up again.But it is a pity that the statue of the goddess of victory that stood up still lacked its head and arms, and those fragments were no longer found!

Looking at the incomplete sculpture in front of him, Wang Yi wanted to see the complete state of the Statue of Victory.

After visiting the Louvre, Wang Yi also saw a lot of collections from China. In the Huaguo exhibition hall, there is a dazzling array of porcelain, jade, bronze and various ancient Chinese paintings, all of which are fine works. Wang Yi His face was a little gloomy, in fact only a small part of the things on display here, and many more are hidden in the collection room.

Wang Yi previously contacted Mr. Martin, the curator of the Louvre Museum through some channels, and he wanted to buy some Chinese artworks collected by the Louvre Museum.

In fact, these museums do not only accept or not sell. Every year they commission some auction companies to auction some artworks, and then buy some artworks. Wang Yi wants to buy some Chinese artworks from them.In many European and American museums, artworks from China are not mainstream, and only a small part of them are on display. Most of the antique artworks are stored in the collection rooms all year round. His goal is these artworks that are not valued very much.

It’s just that the curator Martin was not sincere. Perhaps after knowing Wang Yi’s worth, the curator’s price was higher than the auction price. Although Wang Yi wanted to bring back the cultural relics lost overseas, This does not mean that he is ready to be taken advantage of, so until now the price has not been negotiated.

These foreign devils are very shrewd. Since China became prosperous and powerful, the Chinese artworks in the world have continued to rise. Although part of the reason behind this is the factor of Chinese people bidding against each other, it is more that those foreign devils are maliciously hyping behind. .

They took advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people to put up some special Chinese artworks for auction, and publicized them in the media to stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people. The most famous one is the bronze head of the twelve zodiac signs in Yuanmingyuan.

Since then, in the international auction market, Chinese art has been rising all the way, and most of them have the shadow of Gaul and corrupt countries. The special auctions they held did not directly tell you that this was caused by the British and French forces during the war. The ancient Chinese Yuanmingyuan was looted and lost overseas for many years.

For example, the bronze statue of the Old Summer Palace. In 1985, the price of the bronze statue of the horse's head was 1,500 US dollars. Twenty years later, the bronze statues of the rat and rabbit heads were sold for 1,400. Million euros, a full 12,000 times increase.Even from the perspective of a pure art auction market, such a high price is far greater than the intrinsic value of these two cultural relics.

Obviously, some people use our national sentiments to conduct malicious commercial hype.As for who is making the hype, everyone basically knows it well.

Originally, unless Wang Yi offered a high price this time, it would be difficult to succeed, but after finding that batch of Nacui treasures, things took a turn for the better.

Not long ago, he obtained the treasures in Germany. Among the treasures, there are many artworks from the Gaul country, and these artworks are some fine works, such as the piece "Napoleon Enters Vienna". Napoleon's status in Gaul can It is not the average Gao. It can be said to be the most famous emperor of Gaul. If Wang Yi took out the pair of "Napoleon's Entry into Vienna", it is estimated that the collectors and museums of Gaul would cry and buy it.

But I’m not in a hurry. Let’s continue talking with them first. If we can talk about it, it’s better to keep this picture of "Napoleon's Entry to Vienna" in his museum.When the time comes to stop those foreign devils from bleeding a lot, I will reverse the king character...Bah, the name is reversed.

When Wang Yi and the others came out of the Louvre after their visit, it was already around seven in the afternoon.

For many places, this time is already evening, but for Paris, where daylight saving time is implemented, seven o'clock is only the afternoon, and the sun is still high in the sky, but fortunately it is not hot.

At the turn of summer and autumn in Paris, the sky will gradually darken after nine o'clock in the evening. If it is midsummer, the night will not completely cover the city until about 11 o'clock.

Although the Louvre was closed around seven o'clock, the Pyramid Square in front of the museum and the Caruso Square not far in front were still crowded and very lively!

After the visit, many tourists who came out of the Louvre, as well as tourists who kept coming from other places, gathered near the Louvre!

While admiring this ancient palace in Renaissance style and feeling its artistic charm, people hold their cameras or mobile phones to take pictures continuously, leaving traces and proofs that they have been to the Louvre.

After leaving the Louvre, Wang Yi asked Tina to get off work, while he was going to take Nie Wei to the nearby Pont des Arts.
