Chapter 478 Another Two Original Works
Just by opening the first box, such a huge surprise came, which was beyond Yang Jing's expectation.

Of course, the appearance of this bronze "David" also made Yang Jing secretly lament that Nicholas II is Nicholas II. The wealth and prestige of Nicholas II can be imagined in the collection of the last tsar.

And the treasures that followed proved that Yang Jing's emotions were not random, because the treasures that were revealed next almost caused Yang Jing's heart to arrest.

Yang Jing wrapped the bronze "David" again with his thoughts, 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-saving work to do so. Therefore, these treasures are still in storage. 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 almost lost his reputation, so God decided to continue to surprise Yang Jing.

The second opened box was still a bronze statue, but this statue was 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 about one and a half meters high in front of me 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" known to the world. The "Discus Throwers" known to the world are all marble sculptures. "The Discus Thrower" is an out-and-out bronze sculpture.

"Could it be that this sculpture is the original work 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 carefully. But the more he looked, the more he I feel that the sculpture in front of me is more likely to be the original.

"The Discus Thrower" is a sculpture created by the famous ancient Greek sculptor Myron around 450 BC. The statue selects the momentary movements of the athletes during the process of throwing the discus, which is exactly the series of instantaneous movements before the discus is shot. In the temporary constant state, the athlete holds the discus in the right hand and swings it to the highest point. The center of gravity of the whole body falls on the right foot, the left toe touches the ground, and the knee bends into an obtuse angle. The whole body has a feeling of tension, explosive force and elasticity.

The shape of this sculpture is tense, but in terms of the 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 Greek classical sculpture.This work of Myron solved the problem of the center of gravity of the sculpture, provided a paradigm for capturing the momentary image in motion, and served as an example for later generations of sculptors to create various moving images.

Even in 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 lower than that of "David" and "Venus with Broken Arm".

Unfortunately, the three surviving Discus Throwers are all marble replicas of the original, which was a bronze sculpture that was lost long ago.In the 2nd century A.D., the Roman emperor who admired the ancient Greek civilization ordered people to remake "The Discus Thrower". Only then did three copies survive in the world, which were stored 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 "Discus Thrower" replica was made by Myron in Greece in the 5th century BC. It was discovered in Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli in 1791, but due to inappropriate restoration methods, its face was facing a wrong direction.Now housed in the British Museum.

But in front of this bronze sculpture full of a heavy sense of history, its face is obviously in the correct position, and Yang Jing looked at it very carefully. He is absolutely sure that apart from the color of this bronze sculpture and the three marble replicas In addition to being different, there is no big difference from those replicas in any other respect.

No!To be precise, there is no big difference between the three marble replicas and the bronze "Discus Thrower" in front of us.

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

After admiring it for a long time, Yang Jing used his identification skills to identify the bronze "Discus Thrower".Sure enough, Shengjie gave an answer that almost caused Yang Jing to have a cardiac arrest—"The Discus Thrower, Myron, 452-448 BC."

"Beautiful!" Yang Jing couldn't help but punched his left palm with his right fist, the excitement on his face was beyond words.

This is the original work of "The Discus Thrower"!The value 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" without making a sound.The emperor of a country is really amazing!

Yang Jing was really satisfied. It is no exaggeration to say that with just these two bronze sculptures, even if the other treasures are gone, this trip is definitely worth it.

However, there are still surprises.

After Yang Jing repacked "The Discus Thrower" and sent it out of the storage space, he opened the third wooden box that seemed to contain the sculpture. As a result, the sculpture inside this box gave Yang Jing another huge surprise.

What is in full bloom 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 naked cows hugs the white goose tightly, smiling like a victorious general; while the white goose being teased kicks his legs straight, panting with his mouth open, looking helpless in front of the child.

"Is this "Portrait of a Child Embracing a Goose"?" Yang Jing only felt his chicken move again.

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

But for the top ten sculptures, there are still a large number of people who don’t agree. The reason for these people’s disapproval is not that the top ten sculptures are not precious, but that they think there are still some sculptures that should be among the top ten sculptures in the world. .

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

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

Boedos was good at genre-themed sculptures, and became a well-known artist who specialized in carving images of children at that time.Boedos lived in the 3rd century BC, which was the era of the development of Hellenistic custom sculpture, which touched almost all aspects of life, starting from the extraordinary divinity to express the most common humanity.Special attention is paid to shaping the image of characters truly, and paying attention to the inner spiritual expression of people.

His "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose" is his pinnacle.This work has ingenious structure and lifelike image. It has enjoyed a high reputation in ancient times and is very popular. It reminds people of the vitality of the bud in the innocent and lively image of children. It can be called a masterpiece in the history of Western art.

It's a pity that the original of this sculpture was lost a long time ago, and the marble "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose" now in the Museum of Ancient Sculpture in Munich is a replica.

But what happened to the bronze sculpture in front of me?Is it really Boedos' original work?
With the lessons learned from the previous two bronze sculptures, Yang Jing can almost be sure that this bronze sculpture is the original work of "Portrait of a Child Embracing a Goose".

Sure enough, after using the appraisal skill appraisal, the holy ring gave Yang Jing a very satisfactory answer.

This sculpture covered with green patina is the original work of "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose" created by Boedos in the third century BC.

Just opening three boxes turned out to be surprisingly good.

Michelangelo, Myron, and Boedos, the works of these three famous masters in the history of Western sculpture, unexpectedly appeared in front of me in such a grandiose manner.

You know, apart from the statue of "David", it is impossible for anyone in the world to see the original works of "The Discus Thrower" and "Portrait of a Child Embracing a Goose".However, these two long-lost sculptures were all quietly collected by Nicholas II, and in the end it was cheaper for him!

Yang Jing dared to bet that once the news about these three statues was revealed, artists and sculpture lovers all over the world would go crazy!

Have you seen the bronze sculpture of "David"?Never seen it!Do you want to see it?Come to Tianqu City in China if you want to see it!

Have you ever seen the original "The Discus Thrower"?Never seen it!Do you want to see it?Come to Tianqu City in China if you want to see it!

Have you seen the original "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose"?Never seen it!Do you want to see it?Come to Tianqu City in China if you want to see it!
Yang Jing could even imagine what kind of commotion it would cause once his own museum opened and these three sculptures appeared in the museum at the same time.

With these three sculptures, there is absolutely no need to worry about no one coming to our own museum!
"It's just... It just seems that these three statues are not enough." Yang Jing suddenly felt greedy again.

"So, what other treasures will be in the next boxes?" Yang Jing looked at those wooden boxes again, like a weasel seeing an old hen.
