Kuvayevich Antonov left the cause and effect of hiding the treasure on the back of the treasure map, so Yang Jing also knew that the number of the treasure was not very large. The gold and other things were taken away by general gorchak to attract the attention of the Red Army, and the more precious works of art were taken North by Antonov to hide. Therefore, after getting the treasure map of the last czar drawn by kuvayevich Antonov, Yang Jing realized that the treasures hidden in the treasure must be not simple, but he really didn't expect that these treasures should be so precious.
Some antiques need salvage protection after being unearthed or out of water. Even if the treasures of the last Tsar were not buried in the ground or kept in the shipwreck for hundreds of years, they have been wrapped in tarpaulins and heavy wooden boxes for more than 100 years. If they are opened rashly, they will certainly cause irreversible damage to these treasures.
However, to carry out rescue protection, it requires special professional equipment, such as argon filled tank, nitrogen gas tank and other equipment, which are very necessary. With these devices, antiques can be protected in these devices to avoid excessive oxidation of antiques, so as to best protect antiques.
But Yang Jing doesn't have these professional equipment on hand.
But it doesn't matter. His storage space is even better than those professional equipment. Can those professional equipment match the storage space close to vacuum? Moreover, for the antiques placed in the storage space, Yang Jing only needs a consciousness to freely control the antiques.
So Yang Jing didn't let anyone follow him into this cabin, because he needed storage space to see what treasures were in these big boxes.
Yang Jing first put a slender box nearly two meters high into the storage space, and then realized that the tightly wrapped wooden box was completely opened in the storage space.
When the box was opened to reveal the sculpture inside, Yang Jing's eyes almost stared out!
There are ten recognized sculptures in the world today, and the recognized statue ranking first is the marble sculpture named David created by Michelangelo bonaroti, one of the three great masters of the European Renaissance in the early 16th century.
Even the broken arm Venus, which is well known to Chinese people, is lower than this David in the ranking of Western art circles.
"David" sculpture is also called "David's body". You can know what the sculpture is carved by looking at this name. Yes, this famous sculpture depicts a standing fruit man.
David is based on myths in the Old Testament. David is a biblical figure. He was king of Israel from 1010 to 970 BC. During his reign, he overthrew the rule of the alien Philistines and unified Israel. The hero had a wonderful story when he was young.
At that time, the Philistines invaded Israel under the reign of Saul king of Israel. There was a warrior named Goliath among the Philistines. He was eight feet tall, wearing a helmet and armor. He was infinitely powerful. He was invincible in the battlefield, and the Israelites were killed and injured countless. More than forty days after Goliath went to war, the Israelites did not dare to go to war. Even David's three brothers went to the front to fight. Because David was too young to fight, he went to the front to deliver food to his brothers.
When David reached the front line, he saw Goliath, the giant of the enemy, rush up, and the Israelites couldn't resist. At this time, David was full of anger and asked to go to war to snow the shame of the nation. When King Saul saw that David had great faith, 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 dizzy, David threw a stone with a stone throwing machine and knocked Goliath unconscious. David rushed forward, pulled out the sharp blade, cut off Goliath's head and saved Israel. Since then, young David has become a national famous hero.
When Michelangelo produced David, he did not follow the previous scene of David stepping on the enemy's head after defeating the enemy, but chose the state when David met the battle.
In fact, the creation of David had begun before the birth of Michelangelo. At that time, the inspector of the Florence cathedral works office planned to appoint sculptors to make a series of 12 large Old Testament statues on the arch wall of the Cathedral of the virgin of flowers.
The first two sculptures were completed at the beginning of the 15th century, namely the pottery statues of Joshua and Hercules. Later, the famous sculptor agstino prepared to make David and found a suitable marble from a quarry in karara. However, agstino only completed the preliminary creation of David, that is, the legs The general shape of the feet and torso.
Agastino did not continue to create for other reasons, so the marble was forgotten for 25 years. Until 1601, Michelangelo, only 26, took over the marble and continued to create.
It took Michelangelo two and a half years to finally finish the carving of this marble and finally form the world-famous sculpture of David.
It can be said that this sculpture has experienced the hands of two sculpture masters from the beginning to the completion, which lasted for 40 years!
Perhaps because of too many changes, this statue has finally become a world-famous sculpture. With this sculpture, Michelangelo became the most famous sculptor in the western world at that time, and was finally named "one of the three outstanding artists after the Renaissance" by the western art world.
David occupies the most important position in Michelangelo's life, which is the fundamental reason why he has become one of the "three heroes after the Renaissance". We can imagine how high the artistic value of this sculpture is.
Perhaps the value of David is not as high as that of Venus with broken arms, the treasure of the Louvre in Paris, but it is definitely not low. Both are quite artistic and valuable.
How much is Venus with broken arms?
I'm afraid no one knows. It's like asking how much Mona Lisa's smile is. There is no definite answer at all. The only answer is one - priceless treasure.
The statue in front of us is a statue of David, a blue and black statue of 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 Michelangelo Square and in front of the Florence municipal government. This is a bronze statue of David.
The authentic David sculpture is nearly four meters high and weighs six tons. The bronze sculpture in front of us is only about 1.5m high. Except for the wrong color and much smaller head, it is no different from the real sculpture of David in any aspect.
At first, Yang Jing thought the sculpture was a replica. As a result, after he identified it with identification skills, he was overjoyed to learn that the bronze sculpture David was also made by Michelangelo!
If Yang Jing wants to identify the items that Yang Jing has collected into the storage space, he can also use the identification skills if he does not touch the items.
But he really did not expect that this bronze sculpture was not a replica, but actually from Michelangelo. What a surprise!
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have thought that Michelangelo would make such a bronze sculpture of David? Moreover, there is no record about Michelangelo's bronze sculpture of David in history. If Yang Jing didn't know that the identification skills could not be wrong, even he couldn't believe that the bronze David came from Michelangelo.
However, if you think about it, it is inevitable. "David" is definitely Michelangelo's peak work in that regard, even if Michelangelo was only 26 when he created the sculpture. But who can deny the excellence of David?
In the face of such a peak work, how can Michelangelo not like it?
You know, Michelangelo carefully made its model before carving the stone carving of David. After the completion of the giant statue of David, the model was carefully collected by Michelangelo. If he didn't like the sculpture very much, how could he collect the model of David?
However, after the creation of David, it belongs to Florence and does not belong to him. Therefore, Michelangelo can only treasure the model of David.
Since even the model of David is treasured, why can't Michelangelo make a bronze sculpture of David himself? This is absolutely possible.
Michelangelo is not only good at stone carving, but also excellent in bronze sculpture.
In 2015, Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England exhibited a pair of bronze sculptures, which carved two handsome and masculine men riding on a ferocious leopard.
The pair of bronze statues were collected by a British collector and caused a sensation after they were displayed.
A research institute in Switzerland made further research using neutron scanning 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 United Kingdom, proposed that every detail of the sculpture is a standard Michelangelo - from a strong abdominal muscle to the navel, just like the marble sculpture David.
In addition, the human body painted by Michelangelo in the Sistine church is also quite similar to the sculpture. Finally, the pair of bronze sculptures proved to be created by Michelangelo between 1506 and 1508, when the artist was 30 years old and eager for success.
This pair of bronze sculptures is also recognized as the only pair of Michelangelo's bronze sculptures in the world so far.
But is that pair of bronze sculptures really the only remaining Michelangelo bronze sculptures in the world? If that pair is the only one left, what is the bronze sculpture in front of you?
Moreover, just after the appraisal of appraisal skills, this bronze statue of David was created by Michelangelo from 1605 to 1606. From this time, the pair of bronze leopard riding warriors who started to create after the creation of bronze David.
Yang Jing has no doubt that once the bronze statue of David is published, the sensation will definitely not be comparable to that pair of men riding leopards. This is bronze David after all!
The marble sculpture of David is well known, but have you ever heard of the bronze David, which was also written by Michelangelo? Have you seen it?
