Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

provincial capital.

Jiang Zhe walked out of the airport lobby pushing his luggage, took out his cell phone and prepared to call Sister Liao.

Sister Liao called first.

After answering the phone, I followed Sister Liao's instructions and found her vehicle.

Sister Liao opened the car door and got out.

The weather was hot, so she wore a short-sleeved shirt, cropped pants and sandals. This outfit made her look younger.

"What are you standing there for? Put your luggage away and get in the car."

Jiang Zhe put his luggage away and got in the car.

Sister Liao started the car...

the next day.

Sister Liao got up early and prepared breakfast for Jiang Zhe.

After bringing breakfast to the table, I heard Jiang Zhe was already in the bathroom washing up, so I sat at the table and waited.

While waiting, I thought about the fact that Jiang Zhe was about to go abroad.

She knew that Jiang Zhe's purpose of going out was to consider studying abroad.

Before, she had always advised Jiang Zhe to study abroad, but when Jiang Zhe really took this step, she felt reluctant to let him go.

Although it's not perfect to meet each other irregularly, it has become a habit. I think it would be hard to live with two people living far apart.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhe walked out of the bathroom and asked when he saw Sister Liao was distracted.

"It's okay. I think about the possibility of you studying abroad. Do you have an ideal goal?" Sister Liao said.

Jiang Zhe sat down and picked up his chopsticks while answering: "The most ideal goals are the Florence Academy of Fine Arts and the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. Secondly, art academies in the UK are also OK. The last is the United States."

He considered it from the perspective of convenience of learning and professional growth.

The two chatted while eating breakfast.

After listening to Jiang Zhe's idea, Sister Liao said, "I have a suggestion for your reference only. In addition to selling paintings in China, the largest overseas market is in the United States. I suggest that you set your sights on the United States. Perhaps the schools there are not as well-known as the old art academies in terms of reputation and art majors, but you have to consider that the connections you build there are also very important to you."

Jiang Zhe nodded: "I understand what you mean. After returning from Europe, I will go to the United States again to make a comprehensive consideration."

After breakfast, Sister Liao reluctantly sent Jiang Zhe to the airport.

After returning to Binhai, Jiang Zhe enjoyed family life with his parents and his own time with Chen Yan. All in all, he spent a few days in a peaceful life.

He did a lot of things during this field trip, and Binhai Academy of Arts wanted to publicize these things. Jiang Zhe needed to cooperate.

After dealing with matters at school, Jiang Zhe said goodbye to his parents and friends and embarked on a journey abroad.

The first stop is Italy.

Jiang Zhe first went to the capital to meet Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen did not travel with him, but helped him arrange all matters related to his going abroad.

Jiang Zhuo set out alone and came to Rome.

There was no language barrier and it was his second time in Rome, so he arrived at the booked hotel smoothly.

After I told my family that I was safe, I received a call from Francesca.

Since their separation at the Venice Biennale, the two have kept in touch.

When Francesca heard that Jiang Zhe was coming to Italy, she offered to be his tour guide.

Jiang Zhe came to the door of the hotel and saw Francesca.

The girl had shoulder-length hair and was wearing a short-sleeved sportswear and jeans. When she saw Jiang Zhe appear, she walked over quickly and gave him a hug.

“Welcome to Rome.”

"Thank you for coming to help me."

The two talked about their current situations, and Francesca asked, "When do you plan to go to Florence?" Jiang Zhe said, "I want to play in Rome for two days before going."

Francesca said, "I have booked tickets for you to the Vatican. If you are not tired, you can go now."

"No problem, we can set off now." Jiang Zhe made some preparations and followed Francesca to the first destination of the trip - the Vatican Museum, to observe the original works of the masters there.

"The Vatican is a country located in the center of Rome..." On the way, Francesca introduced to Jiang Zhe: "It is small in size, but it has the largest church in the world. There are three must-see attractions here. The world's largest St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museum we are going to now, and the Sistine Chapel, the essence of art.

Generally speaking, tourists who come to Rome for the first time will spend one day visiting these three attractions in one go.

But you are a great painter and you have plenty of time to appreciate it slowly."

Jiang Zhe was also willing to appreciate it slowly.

When we arrived outside the attraction, we found a long queue. Fortunately, Francesca helped us buy tickets in advance, which saved us time.

While waiting, Francesca told Jiang Zhe about many experiences that are easily overlooked, such as the Bramante Spiral Staircase.

“This staircase is at the exit of the museum. It is a replica. If you want to experience the original staircase, you need to pay.

It is said that Michelangelo passed by these stairs every day when he was painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Jiang Zhe immediately expressed his desire to experience Michelangelo’s commute.

This is not just an experience, it can also be rewarding.

Francesca immediately helped to make the contact.

The two of them entered the museum smoothly and saw the neat and clean garden.

There is a conspicuous large iron ball in the garden.

Echoing the big iron ball is a huge bronze pine cone.

Francesca introduced that this is a cultural relic from ancient Rome.

Jiang Zhe has opened the system and is collecting information.

I felt like I was gaining double benefits by listening to Francesca's explanation and collecting information at the same time.

"Go through this door and go upstairs to find some ancient Egyptian artifacts. I suggest not spending too much time here, although those items are very interesting and can actually be found in all major museums."

Jiang Zhe agreed with Francesca's suggestion.

He has his own goals, so he can't watch like ordinary tourists.

Enter a patio and see many sculptures.

The two slowed down their pace as much as possible to observe these masterpieces.

The most famous of these sculptures is Laocoön.

Francesca tells the story of this ancient Greek prophet and how the sculpture was discovered.

Jiang Zhe recalled that he once made sketches based on the plaster statue of Laocoön. Now, seeing the original work up close, he felt a little excited.

In addition, the stories told by Francesca are also interesting.

"…When the Laocoön statue was being excavated, the statue's right hand was broken and could not be found at the time. The Pope thought that a broken arm was not a good look, so he asked someone to repair the statue.

At that time, there happened to be two artists working in the Vatican, one was Raphael and the other was Michelangelo.

Raphael believed that the sculpture's arms should be straight; Michelangelo said yes, the arms should be bent.

As a result, the Pope adopted Raphael's plan.

However, many years later, the original right hand of the sculpture was dug out in the same place, and the arm was indeed bent.

At this point, Michelangelo was proven right. "

After listening to Francesca's explanation, Jiang Zhe was impressed by the exquisiteness of the work and the bizarre reality, and also thought of another possibility.
