Ye Tian pretended to seriously admire the bronze head of Aristotle for a while, and then handed it to the bishop of Kent who was eager to see through.

The rest of the people on the scene were like the Bishop of Kent, staring at the bronze statue with bright eyes, and their eyes were so hot that they were about to burn.

Next, this bronze head of "Aristotle" began to circulate in everyone's hands. Everyone looked at it over and over again, and loved it.

At the same time, there were endless waves of admiration on the scene!

Nearly ten minutes later, Ye Tian smiled and woke up the addicted crowd.

"Gentlemen, time is limited. When today's exploration is over, I will set aside time for everyone to appreciate and study this "Aristotle" head portrait from the hands of the Hellenistic sculptor in Cyperus.

There is another ancient bronze statue here, waiting for everyone to appreciate. After the exploration in this Roman-style building, I will take you to the next historical building to see if you can get another surprise! "

Following Ye Tian's remarks, everyone at the scene suddenly became sober and turned their heads to look over.

Without exception, these guys are very excited, their eyes are full of envy and jealousy, one by one they want to take Ye Tian instead, and take this priceless bronze head of "Aristotle" as their own. !

After a short pause, Giovanni suddenly said with a solemn expression:

"Steven, what do you plan to do with this bronze head of "Aristotle" created by Leucipos, one of the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era? Will it be brought back to New York or sold on the spot?

This is an undoubtedly priceless treasure. It has a very special significance for the entire Western civilization and Italy. As an Italian cultural relic gendarmerie, I hope it can stay in Italy! "

Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but nodded slightly, obviously in agreement.

Each of them knows very well in their hearts what this "Aristotle" head portrait from the top sculptors of ancient Greece means and what value it has!

As Giovanni said, for Western civilization, this "Aristotle" portrait is extremely significant. It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the symbols of Western civilization!

At the same time, everyone heard the subtext hidden in Giovanni's words.

This priceless bronze head of "Aristotle", although it belongs to Ye Tian, ​​is undoubtedly, but it was discovered in Rome, the capital of Italy, this is also an indisputable fact!

Without even thinking about it, this priceless treasure will definitely be included in the list of'Restricted Departure Antique Artworks'. No one should want to leave Italy with it, even Ye Tian!

The cultural counsellor of the US Embassy who was also on the scene, heard Giovanni's words, and immediately became anxious, and he was ready to refute!

From his standpoint, of course, we must do everything possible to get this priceless treasure to the United States. How could it be forcibly intercepted by the Italian government!

However, Ye Tian stretched out his hand to stop him.

" Giovanni, the bronze head of "Aristotle" by the ancient Greek master sculptor in West Persia, I know its meaning and value very naturally!

As for whether I will bring this bronze head back to New York, or sell it in Rome, and leave it in Italy, it is too early to say this, so be safe! "

Ye Tian smiled and said loudly, with a complete look on his chest.

The words are all here, and Giovanni and Pizarro can only nod their heads slightly, without saying much, but they have already thought about it!

After a few chats, everyone's attention shifted to the other bronze sculpture. Everyone was full of expectation and curiosity.

Everyone is secretly guessing, what exactly is this bronze statue? What figure or **** was carved? And from which famous carving master in ancient times?

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then squatted down and began to disassemble the rope and moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped around the second bronze statue.

In just a few moments, he uncovered the layers of moisture-proof tarpaulin, and the bronze statue hidden underneath finally appeared in front of everyone.

Like the previous bronze head of "Aristotle", this is another sculpture that everyone is very familiar with, and it is a statue that almost every westerner knows.

This bronze statue is quite old, with a layer of green patina attached to it, but it does not affect the appreciation, but adds a bit of historical charm to this statue!

It is the sun **** Apollo in ancient Greek mythology, and it is also a symbol of male beauty in ancient Greek art. In all ancient Greek sculptures, this is the most common god!

The statue of Apollo, the sun **** in front of everyone, has a handsome face and firm eyes. Its facial contours are as sharp as a knife, with sharp edges and corners, smooth and natural body lines, full of strength and beauty!

Like most ancient Greek sculptures, this statue of Apollo is also full of red fruits, with only a cloak tied around its neck, standing on a circular pedestal with feet one behind the other, staring at the front left.

Looking along his line of sight, his left arm bends slightly and sticks out to the front left, holding a simple Roman bow in his left hand, and the corner of the cloak behind him goes forward around the arm, resting on the left side of the bow. On the arm!

His right arm and right hand seemed to have just released the arrow feathers, and recovered to the right side of the body, slightly bent on the quiver standing on the ground, his right index finger and thumb still kept shooting arrows!

On his back, he also carries a sharp sword, which is obviously a weapon used for melee combat!

This is a nearly perfect ancient Greek sculpture. No matter the carving skills, artistic expression methods, or the portrayal of the sun **** Apollo and beauty, it is impeccable, and it is shocking to see it!

The moment they saw this bronze statue, everyone was stunned, one by one dumbfounded, they stunned directly in place, as if they had been in the fixation technique, their faces were full of stunned expressions.

Ye Tian is the same, he also showed a surprised expression at the right time, very suitable for the scene.

A moment later, the bishop of Kent woke up from the brain down.

The first time he woke up, he held his head and exclaimed, like crazy.

"I’m not mistaken, am I? This is "Belvedere's Apollo." Isn't the famous Apollo statue in the Vatican Museum? I saw it yesterday. Why did it appear here?

"Apollo of Belvedere" is a marble statue that is more than two meters high. When did it become so small? When did it become a bronze statue again? Am I dreaming? "

Following the words of the Bishop of Kent, the scene was immediately detonated, and the rest of the people came to their senses, and they hugged their heads and exclaimed!

Like the Bishop of Kent, everyone was completely shocked by this very familiar but extremely strange bronze statue before them, so that they couldn't believe their eyes!

The reason why everyone is very familiar with this bronze statue is that it is almost identical to the "Apollo of Belvedere" collected by the Vatican Museum, which is one of the treasures of the Vatican Museum!

The reason why everyone feels unfamiliar is because this bronze statue is much smaller than "Apollo by Belvedere", and the materials of the two are different!

In addition, this statue of Apollo with a lot of green patina looks more perfect, with simple and smooth lines, more idealistic beauty of ancient Greek sculpture, and more attractive to the eye.

More importantly, this ancient bronze sculpture is almost intact, unlike the "Apollo of Belvedere" collected by the Vatican Museum, because it is too old and has long been scarred!

"Apollo of Belvedere" is a famous marble sculpture collected in the Vatican Museum. It is about 224 cm high. It is one of the treasures of the Vatican Museum.

That marble sculpture was created in ancient Rome, by one of the most famous sculptors of the time, but it is a replica!

It copied the statue of "Apollo, the sun god," by the famous ancient Greek engraver Leocares.

It is a pity that Leo Carres’ original bronze work has long since disappeared, leaving only this ancient Roman replica!

Because it was first collected in the Belvedere Palace in Rome, the marble statue of the sun **** Apollo in the Vatican Museum is called "Apollo of Belvedere".

In ancient Greek mythology, Apollo is the son of the main **** Zeus~www.novelhall.com~ is the sun god, in charge of light, youth, medicine, animal husbandry, music and poetry, etc., has great power, is a symbol of talent, bravery and God of light.

The ancient Greeks worshipped the sun **** Apollo very much and created many sculptures to praise him. The statue of the sun **** Apollo is essentially a typical image of the idealized hero of the ancient Greeks.

In Western civilization, Apollo, the handsome and brave sun god, has always been regarded as a symbol of male beauty, and his strong and fit body is regarded as a model of male bodybuilding, and has a profound influence on the plastic art of later generations.

"Belvedere's Apollo" collected in the Vatican Museum has always been regarded by Westerners as the ‘most beautiful man’. It is the benchmark for male aesthetics in the Western world, just like Song Yu and Pan An in China!

Because of this, Westerners often use "Belveder's Apollo" to praise a handsome man, and in many Western literary works, this special term is often seen!

At this time, the bronze statue of the sun **** Apollo that appeared in front of everyone gave everyone a first-hand experience of the true meaning of this word, how appropriate it is!

"Wow! This bronze statue of the sun **** Apollo is so perfect, it's dazzling!"

There was a burst of admiration at the scene, which was undoubtedly the voice of everyone!
