Kuvaevich Antonov left the cause and effect of hiding this treasure on the back of the treasure map, so Yang Jing also knew that the amount of this treasure was not very large. The gold and other things were taken away by General Kolchak to attract the attention of the Red Army, and the more precious works of art were brought north by Antonov. Therefore, after obtaining the treasure map of the last tsar drawn by Kuvaevich Antonov, Yang Jing realized that the treasures hidden in this treasure must be not simple, but he really did not expect that these treasures were so precious.

Some antiques need to be protected after being unearthed or watered. Even though the treasures of this last tsar were not buried in the ground or were shelved in a shipwreck for hundreds of years, they were still wrapped in tarpaulin and thick wooden boxes for more than a hundred years. If they were opened rashly, they would definitely cause irreversible damage to these treasures.

However, to carry out rescue protection, special professional equipment is required, such as argon filling chambers, nitrogen cabinets and other equipment, which are very necessary. With these equipment, the protection of antiques in these equipment can prevent excessive oxidation of antiques and best protect antiques.

But Yang Jing does not have these professional equipment on hand now.

But it doesn't matter, his storage space is even better than those professional equipment. Can those professional equipment compare to storage spaces close to vacuum? And Yang Jing only needs a sense of consciousness to control the antique.

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

Yang Jing first put a slender box close to two meters high into the storage space, and then he realized that the tight wooden box wrapped outside was completely opened in the storage space.

When the box was opened and exposed the sculpture inside, Yang Jing almost glared out!

There are ten recognized sculptures in the world today, and the recognized number one statue is the marble sculpture called "David" created by Michelangelo Bonaroti, one of the three masters of the European Renaissance, in the early 16th century.

Even Venus, who is familiar to Chinese people, is lower than David in the Western art world.

The "David" sculpture is also called "David's Human Body". You can tell what the sculpture is carved by looking at this name. That's right, this famous sculpture carved a standing fruit-body man.

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

At that time, Saul, the king of Israel, was reigned, and the Philistines invaded Israel. There was a warrior named Golia, who was eight feet tall, wearing a steel helmet, and armor. He was extremely powerful and invincible on the battlefield. The Israelites died and injured countless times. Goliath fought for more than 40 days, and the Israelites did not dare to fight. Even David's three brothers went to the front line to fight. David was unable to participate in the war because he was young, so he went to the front line to deliver meals to his brothers.

When David arrived at the front line, he saw the enemy giant Goliath rushed up, and the Israelites could not resist it. At this time, David was full of anger and demanded to fight to the national shame. King Saul saw that David was very confident, so he gave him his armor. David refused the armor and was still dressed as a shepherd boy. He led the crowd to the battlefield and scolded Goliath loudly. When Goliath was scolded, David threw out the stone to knock Goliath out of the stone. David rushed forward, pulled out the sharp blade and cut Goliath's head, and saved Israel. From then on, the young David became a nationally famous hero.

When making "David", Michelangelo did not use his predecessors to show David's head stomping under his feet after defeating the enemy, but chose David's state when he met the battle.

In fact, the creation of "David" began before Michelangelo's birth. At that time, the inspector of the Florence Cathedral Works Office planned to commission sculptors to create a series of twelve large Old Testament statues to be placed on the arch of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers.

The first two sculptures were completed in the early fifteenth century, namely the terracotta statues of Joshua and Hercules. Later, the famous sculptor Agstino prepared to produce "David" and found a suitable piece of marble from a stone field in Carrara. However, Agstino only completed the initial creation of "David", that is, the general shape of legs, feet and torso.

Argustino did not continue to create for other reasons, so the 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 the marble, and finally formed the David sculpture that is now world-famous.

It can be said that from the beginning to completion, this sculpture has been through the hands of two sculpture masters in total, and lasted for a full forty years!

Perhaps because of the many changes that made this statue finally become a famous sculpture in the world. With this sculpture, Michelangelo also became the most famous sculptor in the Western world at that time, and was eventually named "one of the last three masters of the Renaissance" by the Western art world.

"David" occupies the most important position in Michelangelo's life, which is also the fundamental reason why he became one of the "Three Heroes of the Renaissance". You can imagine how high the artistic value of this sculpture is.

Perhaps the value of "David" is not as high as that of "Broken Arm Venus" in the Louvre Museum in Paris, but it will definitely not be low. Both are quite in terms of artistic and value.

How much does "Broken Arm Venus" cost?

I'm afraid no one knows this, just like you ask "Mona Lisa's Smile" how much it costs. There is no definite answer at all, and the only answer is only one - a priceless treasure.

The statue that appears in front of you is a "David" and a blue-black "David".

Of course, this is not the white marble statue of David collected in the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, nor the two imitations standing in the center of Piazza Michelangelo and in front of the Florence Municipal Government. This is a bronze sculpture of David.

The authentic David sculpture is nearly four meters tall and weighs six tons. The bronze sculpture in front of me is only about 1.5 meters tall. Except for the wrong color and much smaller size, no matter which aspect, it is no different from the real David sculpture.

At first, Yang Jing thought the sculpture was a copy, but when he used the identification skills to identify it, he was ecstatic to learn that the bronze sculpture "David" was actually made by Michelangelo!

If Yang Jing is willing to use the items that are included in the storage space, as long as Yang Jing is willing, he can also use identification skills to identify the items without contacting them.

But he really never expected that this bronze sculpture was not a copy, but was actually from Michelangelo. This surprise came so unexpectedly!

If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have thought that Michelangelo would have made such a bronze sculpture of David, right? And there is no record of Michelangelo's bronze sculpture of David in history. If Yang Jing hadn't known that the identification skills would not have been wrong, even he would not have believed that this bronze sculpture of David was written by Michelangelo.

However, if you think about it, it will inevitably be. In any aspect, "David" is definitely Michelangelo's pinnacle work, even if Michelangelo was only twenty-six years old when he created this sculpture. But who can deny the excellence of "David"?

How could Michelangelo not like such a pinnacle work?

You should know that before Michelangelo carved the stone sculpture of David, he carefully made its model. After the colossus of David was completed, the model was carefully treasured by Michelangelo. If he hadn't liked this sculpture in particular, how could he treasure the model of David?

However, after the creation of "David" belonged to Florence, it did not belong to him personally, so Michelangelo could only treasure the model of "David".

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

Michelangelo was not only good at stone sculptures, he was also very good at bronze sculptures.

In 2015, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England once exhibited a pair of bronze sculptures. The bronze sculptures were carved with two handsome and masculine men riding majestic on the ferocious leopard.

This pair of bronze statues was collected by a British collector and caused a sensation as soon as they were exhibited.

A Swiss research institution used neutron scanning to conduct further research and judged that the bronze sculpture was made in the early 16th century. Peter Abraham, a professor of clinical anatomy at the University of Warwick in the UK, proposed that every detail of the sculpture was standard Michelangelo - from strong abdominal muscles to belly buttons, it was 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. In the end, this pair of bronze sculptures proved to be created by Michelangelo between 1506 and 1508, when the artist was 30 years old and eager to succeed.

This pair of bronze sculptures is also recognized as the only remaining pair of Michelangelo bronze sculptures in the world so far.

But is that pair of bronze sculptures really the only remaining bronze sculpture of Michelangelo in the world? If that pair is the only remaining, then what is the bronze sculpture in front of you?

Moreover, after the identification of the skills, the bronze "David" sculpture was created by Michelangelo from 1605 to the end of the creation in 1606. From this time, it was analyzed that the pair of bronze "David" only started to be created after the creation of the bronze "David".

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

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