Chapter 480: Another two original works
Just by opening the first box, such a huge surprise came, which was really beyond Yang Jing's expectations.
Of course, the appearance of this bronze "David" also made Yang Jing secretly sigh that Nicholas II was Nicholas II. Even if he was eventually driven off the stage, the emperor of the polar bear was indeed not simple. You can imagine the wealth and reputation of Nicholas II from the collection of this last tsar.
The next baby proved that Yang Jing's feelings were not random, because the treasures revealed next almost caused Yang Jing's cardiac arrest.
Yang Jing wrapped the bronze "David" with his mind again, and then moved it out of the storage space. He naturally wanted to put such a precious sculpture in the space, but he still needed to do some face-saving projects before he could do it. Therefore, these treasures still need to stay outside for a few days.
The first box gave me such a big surprise, so what about the second box?
Obviously, God felt that the process of obtaining this treasure for Yang Jing was too difficult, and he almost lost his name, so God decided to continue to give Yang Jing surprise.
The second box opened was still a bronze statue, but the preciousness of this statue is definitely no less than the bronze "David" just now.
When Yang Jing saw this bronze sculpture, he almost subconsciously shouted: "This is "The Discus Thrower"!"
That's right, the sculpture that is about one and a half meters tall in front of me is the "Discust Thrower" sculpture that almost everyone in the world knows. However, the color of this sculpture is different from the "Discust Thrower" known to the world. The "Discust Thrower" that is well-known to the world are all marble sculptures, while the "Discust Thrower" in front of me, which is covered with green copper rust, is an absolute bronze sculpture.
"Is this sculpture the original work of "The Discus Thrower"?" Yang Jing murmured to himself. He resisted the urge to use his identification skills and began to look at the sculpture carefully. But the more he looked, the more likely it was that the sculpture in front of him was the original work.
"The Discus Thrower" is a sculpture created by the famous ancient Greek sculptor Milon about 450 BC. The statue selects the momentary movements of the athletes throwing the discus. This is the temporary constant state in a series of instant changes before the discus takes action. The athlete holds the discus in his right hand and sways to the highest point. The center of gravity of the whole body falls on his right foot, his left toe against the ground, and his knees bend to an obtuse angle. The entire body produces a feeling of tension and elasticity.
The shape of this sculpture is tense, but in terms of overall structure and the expression of the head, it gives people a calm and stable impression, which is exactly what the classical style pursues.
"The Discus Thrower" represents the development direction of sculpture in the classical Greek period. This work by Miron solves the problem of the center of gravity of sculpture, provides a paradigm for capturing the instant images of movement, and imitates the creation of various moving images for later sculptors.
Even at the 1948 London Olympics, "The Discus Thrower" was selected as one of the visual images to convey the Olympic spirit to the world.
This sculpture is now recognized as one of the top ten sculptures in the world, and its status is not under "David" and "Broken Arm Venus".
Unfortunately, the three existing "Discus Thrower" are all marble replicas of the original work, and the original work is a bronze sculpture that was lost a long time ago. In the 2nd century AD, the Roman emperor who advocated ancient Greek civilization ordered people to recreate "Discus Thrower", which led to the three replicas left in the world, stored in Naples, Rome and London.
In addition to these three marble replicas, there is also a bronze copy of the Discus Thrower in the world. This bronze copy of the Discus Thrower was made by Mellon in Greece and was discovered in 1791 at Hadrian's Villa in Divorli in 1791. However, due to inappropriate repair methods, its face was heading in the wrong direction. It is now in the British Museum.
The bronze sculpture in front of me, which was full of historical heavyness, was obviously in the right position, and Yang Jing looked at it very carefully, and he was definitely sure that except for the different color of this bronze sculpture from the three marble replicas, no matter which aspect, it was not very different from those replicas.
No! To be precise, it is not much different from the bronze "Discus Thrower" in front of you.
Some subtle differences are inevitable. After all, the three marble sculptures were replicated after hundreds of years of the original work being lost. If there is no difference, it would be a strange thing.
After enjoying it for a long time, Yang Jing used his identification skills to identify this bronze "Discus Thrower". Sure enough, the Holy Ring gave an answer that almost made Yang Jing get a cardiac arrest-""Discus Thrower", Milong, 452-448 BC."
"Beautiful!" Yang Jing couldn't help but smash his right fist into the palm of his left hand, his face full of excitement.
This is the original work of "The Discus Thrower"! It is so high that it is incalculable! It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure!
This Nicholas II is really awesome. He even collected the original work of "The Discus Thrower" quietly. The emperor of a country is indeed amazing!
Yang Jing was so satisfied. To put it simply, these two bronze sculptures are here, even if the other treasures are not needed, this trip will definitely be worth it.
But the surprises remained constant.
When Yang Jing packaged "Discust Thrower" again and sent it out for storage space, he opened the third wooden box that was suspected to be filled with sculptures. As a result, the sculpture inside the box once again gave Yang Jing a huge surprise.
The one that is in this box is indeed a sculpture, and it is still a bronze sculpture.
This sculpture is an image of an innocent and lively child playing with a white goose. A naughty child with a naked bull hugs the white goose tightly, smiling, and proudly like a victorious general; while the teased white goose kicks its legs straight, opens its mouth to breathe, and looks helpless in front of the child.
"This is "The Picture of a Kid Who Holds a Goose"?" Yang Jing only felt that he was moving again.
There are ten recognized sculptures in the world, such as David, "Discus Thrower", "Venus with Broken Arm", "Spinx", etc., which are all the top ten recognized sculptures.
However, a large number of people do not agree with the statement of the top ten sculptures. The reason why these people do not agree is not that these top ten sculptures are not precious, but that they believe that some sculptures should be among the top ten sculptures in the world.
For example, the "Story of Liberty" standing at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York, as well as the "Apollo" statue in ancient Greece. Of course, the "Story of a Child Holding a Goose" created in the third century BC is also believed by many people to be among the top ten sculptures in the world.
"Picture of a Kid with a Goose" is also called "The Boy with a Goose". It is a work created by Poedos, a famous sculptor of Halketon, ancient Greece in the third century BC.
Boerdos was good at sculptures on customs and became a famous artist who specialized in carving children's images at that time. Boerdos lived in the 3rd century BC, and was the era when Hellenistic customary sculptures developed. He touched almost all aspects of life, and began to express the most universal human nature from the extraordinary divinity. He attached special importance to the true creation of characters and the inner spiritual expression of people.
The "Picture of a Child with a Goose" he created is his pinnacle. This work is cleverly structured and realistic in image. It has enjoyed a high reputation in ancient times and is very popular with people. It reminds people of the vitality of the buds in the innocent and lively image of children, and can be regarded as a masterpiece in the history of Western art.
Unfortunately, the original work of this sculpture was lost a long time ago. The marble "Picture of a Child Holding a Goose" that exists in the Ancient Sculpture Museum in Munich is a copy.
But what happened to the bronze sculpture in front of you? Is it really the original work of Poedos?
With the lessons from the first two bronze sculptures, Yang Jing can almost be completely sure that this bronze sculpture is the original work of "The Picture of a Child with a Goose".
Sure enough, after using the identification skills to identify them, the Holy Ring gave Yang Jing a very satisfactory answer.
This sculpture covered with green copper rust is the original work of "Picture of a Child Holding a Goose" created by Poedos in the third century BC.
Just opening three boxes, the result was unexpectedly good.
The works of Michelangelo, Miron, and Poudos, these three famous masters in the history of Western sculptures actually appeared in front of them in a blatant manner.
You know, except for that "David", it is impossible for anyone in the world to see the original works of "The Discus Thrower" and "The Kid with a Goose". But, these two long-lost sculptures were all quietly collected by Nicholas II, and finally got themselves cheap!
Yang Jing dares to bet that once the news of these three statues is revealed, artists and sculpture-loving people all over the world will go crazy!
Have you seen the bronze sculpture of "David"? Have you never seen it before! Then do you want to see it? If you want to see it, come to Tianqu City, China!
Have you seen the original work of "Discus Thrower"? Have you never seen it before! Then do you want to watch it? If you want to watch it, come to Tianqu City, China!
Have you seen the original work of "The Kid with a Goose"? Have you never seen it before! Then do you want to see it? If you want to see it, come to Tianqu City, China!
Yang Jing could even imagine what kind of sensation it would cause once his own museum is opened and these three sculptures appeared in the museum at the same time.
With these three sculptures in it, there is absolutely no need to worry about no one coming in the museum!
"It's just... it seems that these three statues are not enough..." Yang Jing suddenly felt greedy again.
Chapter completed!
