Chapter 480: Two More Originals


Just opened the first box, and 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 is Nicholas II, even if he was finally ousted from power, but the dignified emperor of the polar bear is really not simple, just from the collection of the last tsar, you can imagine the wealth and prestige of Nicholas II back then.

And the next baby proves that Yang Jing's emotion is not messy, because the next treasures that are revealed almost made Yang Jing's cardiac arrest.

Yang Jing wrapped the bronze "David" again with his mind, and then moved 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 engineering to do so, so these treasures still need to stay outside for a few days.

The first box gave itself such a big surprise, but 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 surprise Yang Jing.

The second opened box was still a bronze statue, but this statue was definitely no less precious 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 in front of me, which is almost one and a half meters high, is the sculpture of "The Discus Thrower" that almost everyone in the world knows.

It's just that the color of this sculpture is different from the "Discus Thrower" that the world knows, and the "Discus Thrower" that the world knows are all marble sculptures, but the "Discus Thrower" covered with green patina in front of you is an out-and-out bronze sculpture.

"Could it be that this sculpture is the original of 'The Discus Thrower'?"

Yang Jing muttered to himself, he resisted the urge to use his identification skills, and began to look at the sculpture very carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more likely he felt that the sculpture in front of him was the original.

"Discus thrower" is a sculpture created by the famous ancient Greek sculptor Milon in about 450 BC, the statue selects the instantaneous action of the athlete in the process of throwing the discus, which is the temporary constant state in a series of instantaneous movements before the discus throw, the athlete holds the discus in his right hand to the highest point, the center of gravity of the whole body falls on the right foot, the left toe is against the ground, the knee is bent into an obtuse angle, and the whole body has a feeling of tension and elasticity.

The shape of this sculpture is tense, but in the overall structural treatment and the expression of the head, it gives the impression of composure and stability, which is exactly what the classicist style pursues.

The Discus Thrower represents the direction of the development of sculpture in the classical period of Greece.

Milo's work solves the problem of the center of gravity of sculpture and provides a paradigm for capturing momentary images in motion, which can be emulated by later generations of sculptors to create a variety of moving images.

Even at the 1948 London Olympics, "The Discus Thrower" was chosen 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 below "David" and "Venus with Broken Arm".

Unfortunately, the three surviving statues of The Discus Thrower are marble replicas of the original, and the original is a bronze sculpture that was lost a long time ago.

In the second century AD, the Roman emperor, who admired the ancient Greek civilization, ordered the recreation of The Discus Thrower, which resulted in three surviving copies in Naples, Rome and London.

In addition to these three marble replicas, there is also a bronze replica of the Discus Thrower in the world.

This bronze replica of The Discus Thrower was made by Myron of Greece and discovered in 1791 at Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli, made by Myron of Greece, but due to improper restoration, its face was facing in the wrong direction.

It is now in the British Museum.

And the bronze sculpture in front of him, which is full of historical weight, its face is obviously in a correct position, and Yang Jing looked at it very carefully, he is absolutely sure that this bronze sculpture is not very different from those replicas in any aspect except for the color is different from the three marble replicas.

No!

To be exact, there is no big gap between the three marble replicas and the bronze "Discus Thrower" in front of me.

Some subtle differences are inevitable, after all, the three marble sculptures were reproduced hundreds of years after the original was lost, and if there were no differences, it would be a strange thing.

After admiring it for a long time, Yang Jing used his identification skills to identify the bronze "Discus Thrower".

Sure enough, the Holy Ring gave an answer that made Yang Jing almost go into cardiac arrest - "The Discus Thrower, Milon, 452-448 BC." ” "Beautiful!"

Yang Jing couldn't help but smash his right fist into his left palm, and the excitement on his face was overflowing.

This is the original work of "Discus Thrower"!

The value is immeasurable!

It's definitely not an exaggeration to say it's priceless!

This Nicholas II is really awesome enough to collect the original work of "The Discus Thrower" without a sound.

The emperor of a country is really amazing!

Yang Jing is really satisfied, to say that it is no exaggeration, just these two bronze sculptures are here, even if the other treasures are not wanted, this trip is definitely worth it.

However, the surprises continued.

When Yang Jing packed "The Discus Thrower" again and sent it out of the storage space, he opened the third wooden box suspected of containing the sculptures, and the sculptures in this box gave Yang Jing a huge surprise again.

Inside this box was a sculpture, and it was still a bronze sculpture.

The sculpture is an image of an innocent and lively child playing with a white goose.

A naughty child with a bare cow hugged the white goose tightly, smiling, like a victorious general; The white goose that was teased kicked its legs straight, opened its mouth to gasp, and looked helpless in front of the child.

"Is this "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose"?"

Yang Jing only felt that he was moving again.

There are ten recognized sculptures in the world, such as "David", "The Discus Thrower", "Venus with a Broken Arm", "Sphinx", etc., are all recognized as the top ten sculptures in the world.

But for the top ten sculptures, there are still a large number of people do not agree, the reason why these people do not agree is not that these ten sculptures are not precious, but that they think that there are still some sculptures that should be among the top ten sculptures in the world.

For example, "Statue of Liberty" standing at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York, as well as the statue of "Apollo" in ancient Greece, and of course, "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose" created in the third century BC is also considered by many to be among the top ten sculptures in the world.

"Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose", also known as "A Boy Holding a Goose", is a work created by the famous sculptor Boedos in the third century BC in Hallkidon, ancient Greece.

Boedos excelled in genre sculpture and became known for his time as an artist who specialized in sculpting children.

Boedos lived in the 3rd century BC, the era of the development of Hellenistic genre sculpture, touching almost every aspect of life, from the otherworldly divinity to the expression of the most universal humanity.

Special attention is paid to the true shaping of the character image and the inner spiritual expression of the person.

His "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose" is his pinnacle work.

This work has a good reputation in ancient times and is very popular with people, making people think of the vitality of the bud in the innocent and lively image of children, and can be called a masterpiece in the history of Western art.

Unfortunately, the original of this sculpture was lost long ago, and the marble "Child with a Goose" is a replica in the Museum of Ancient Engraving in Munich.

But what's going on with this bronze sculpture in front of you?

Is it really the original Boedos?

With the experience of the first two bronze sculptures, Yang Jing is almost completely certain that this bronze sculpture is the original work of "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose".

Sure enough, after using the identification skill appraisal, the Holy Ring gave Yang Jing a very satisfactory answer.

This patina-covered sculpture is the original Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose, created by Boedos in the third century BC.

It was only three chests that were opened, and the result was surprisingly good.

Michelangelo, Milon and Boedos, the works of three famous masters in the history of Western sculpture, appeared in front of him in such a grand manner.

You know, apart from "David", it is now impossible for anyone in the world to see the original works of "The Discus Thrower" and "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose".

However, these two long-lost sculptures were all quietly collected by Nicholas II, and finally cheapened themselves!

Yang Jing bets that once the news of these three statues is revealed, artists and sculpture-loving people all over the world will go crazy!

Have you ever seen a bronze sculpture of David?

Haven't seen it!

Do you want to see it?

If you want to see it, come to Tianqu City in China!

Have you seen the original "Discus Thrower"?

Haven't seen it!

Do you want to see it?

If you want to see it, come to Tianqu City in China!

Have you seen the original work of "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose"?

Haven't seen it!

Do you want to see it?

If you want to see it, come to Tianqu City in China!

Yang Jing can imagine what kind of sensation it will cause once his museum opens, and these three sculptures appear in the museum at the same time.

With these three sculptures here, there is absolutely no worry that no one will come to your own museum!

"It's just that it seems that these three statues alone are not enough," Yang Jing suddenly felt greedy again.

"So, what treasures will be in these next boxes?"

Yang Jing looked at those wooden boxes again, as if he had seen a weasel from an old hen
