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

Jiang Zhe saw that there was a standing sculpture at the location Francesca pointed to.

The sculpture shows a man holding a basket of fruit. The man is wearing a helmet and has a thick beard.

Jiang Zhe felt that this sculpture was not as good as Laocoön, so he asked, "Does it have any special meaning?"

Francesca explained: "This sculpture is not as famous as Laocoön and is often overlooked. However, the location here allows for a more beautiful background."

Jiang Zhe felt that Francesca did not tell him the real reason, so he stood next to the sculpture according to what he judged to be the best angle.

Francesca took a photo of Jiang Zhe with a smile, then pointed to the bottom of the sculpture and said, "You have to stand at this position and look up."

The sculpture is higher up.

Jiang Zhe approached the sculpture and looked up.

Haha, good guy.

Seeing that Jiang Zhe had discovered the secret, Francesca said, "This sculpture represents Priapus, the god of fertility."

The characteristics are indeed very obvious, Jiang Zhe complained in his heart.

The two left the patio-like space, passed through a gate, and entered the exhibition hall. In the first exhibition space they saw, there were many stone sculptures of animals. However, a blocking rope prevented visitors from viewing them only from a certain distance, just like a zoo.

Francesca told Jiang Zhe that he could go in and see it if he paid.

Jiang Zhe immediately said that money was not a problem.

He wanted to see these sculptures up close, not only for appreciation, but also to allow the system to collect more information.

Francesca immediately contacted the staff.

Although the price is high, Jiang Zhe thinks it is a good deal.

To make money is to make yourself live comfortably.

Besides, the money is not wasted.

Many tourists were reluctant to pay a high price and could not see the works up close. Jiang Zhe and Francesca walked into the exhibition space and observed the works up close, which attracted the attention of many people.

Francesca noticed that many eyes were cast towards Jiang Zhe, and she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

From the beginning of the queue, she noticed that there were often some young girls who cast their eyes on Jiang Zhe. There were both Italian girls and tourists from foreign countries. If she was not standing next to them, she was afraid that someone would come over to chat with him.

She also looked at Jiang Zhe. He was rich, artistic, young and handsome. No wonder those girls would... She also...

As soon as I had some ideas, I immediately reminded myself that I must not go beyond the current relationship between the two of us. Oh, and I must not let little Amy get too close to Jiang Zhe. After all, she had proposed several times that she wanted to go with me to welcome Jiang Zhe, but she did not get the consent of her family.

Jiang Zhe didn't know that Francesca was imagining some story plot. After looking at these sculptures, he continued walking along the passage with her.

Soon, he saw a broken sculpture.

The sculpture has no head, arms or legs, only a torso, and the rest is damaged.

The sculpture is surrounded by barrier ropes to limit the viewing distance.

Jiang Zhe knew that this sculpture was very important when he saw how much the museum attached to it. He looked around the sculpture and felt that it looked familiar and similar to the Laocoön sculpture.

Frasisca said to Jiang Zhe: "Many people believe that this sculpture was the inspiration for Michelangelo. When we go to the Sistine Chapel later, we will see that many of the figures in Michelangelo's ceiling paintings are inspired by this sculpture."

Jiang Zhe was reminded to recall the materials he had read about ceiling paintings. Sure enough, by adding hands, limbs and a head to this torso and changing different clothes, he could draw a new character. In addition, he became more and more certain that this sculpture was similar to Laocoön.

After viewing the sculptures, the two walked along the route and came to a corridor. Because many tourists were taking photos here, Jiang Zhe and his partner had to slow down.

In addition to sculptures, this corridor also displays tapestries.

Francesca told Jiang Zhe that this was the best place to take photos.

Jiang Zhe didn't want to waste time taking pictures, of course, but also because there were too many people, the photo taking was affected.

They ran as fast as possible to see the museum's treasures.

Go forward along the corridor and you will come to the first Raphael room.

Jiang Zhe had done his homework in advance and knew that these were four rooms decorated by Raphael and his team.

Francesca told Jiang Zhe that each room had its own name, and the most precious treasures were the paintings covering the walls and ceilings.

Although not all of them were painted by Raphael himself, they were at least created according to his ideas.

Jiang Zhe had copied some of these works before, and now he is even more excited when he sees the originals.

His main focus was The School of Athens.

Raphael depicted Plato, Socrates and other ancient Greek sages in one picture, breaking the limitations of time and space. Raphael did not know the true appearance of these sages, but he was very creative and used the giants of the art world at that time as models.

Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and his own appearance all appear in the painting.

It was with this group of works that Raphael brought himself to the same level as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.

While observing and learning, Jiang Zhe discovered details that he had not paid attention to in the previous copying and learning process, and also noticed that there were many works in the room that were worth learning.

These paintings are masterpieces in the history of Western art. Only by watching them live can you feel close to the masters.

Francesca had been here several times before and had not felt so deeply. But now, the room was packed with people and the walls were covered with paintings of people, which made her feel a little depressed.

I noticed that Jiang Zhe was watching the show very attentively, and I silently complained about why he was not disturbed.

The two left Raphael's rooms and went to see Michelangelo's ceiling painting.

The space here is larger, but it becomes difficult to see the details.

Jiang Zhe asked the system to collect data and then watch the details when replaying it with the system.

When he was observing, he imagined himself as Michelangelo, standing at a certain place in the space and creating the scene.

Thinking about how he completed such a large church space almost all by himself, I admire the master's superb skills and energy even more.

Of course, some of the small-scale murals on the side were the works of his predecessors, but Raphael led a team of dozens of people to complete the decoration of four rooms.

Francesca heard the discussions of the tourists nearby and talked to Jiang Zhe about the interesting things that happened during Michelangelo's creative process.

For example, Michelangelo's salary was in arrears, and he even went on strike for a period of time to demand his salary.

After the work resumed, it was discovered that a young man in his early 20s was leading a construction team to renovate the Pope's office next door.

What angered him most was that he discovered that many of the ideas in these four rooms were stolen from the ceiling painting he had half-finished.

"At least, that's what Michelangelo thought," Francesca said. "Of course, his complaints were heard by Raphael. Raphael also painted Michelangelo in the School of Athens." (End of this chapter)
