Because he was going to visit the famous Louvre Gallery, Ye Tian and the others did not spend two or three hours on a lunch like French tourists in the restaurant.

In less than an hour, they finished their lunch and were the fastest-dining guests in the entire restaurant.

Then they said goodbye to Martinez and others, then left the restaurant next to Napoleon III's bedroom, and walked enthusiastically to the Louvre Gallery on the second floor of the Denon Hall.

The Denon Pavilion is named after the first director of the Louvre, Denon. It contains almost all the most famous paintings in the Louvre, including the well-known Mona Lisa.

The large gallery located on the second floor of Denong Pavilion is a straight corridor that is more than 450 meters long. There are countless top oil paintings in the history of Western art hanging on both sides of the corridor, mainly Italian paintings.

One of the three masters of the Renaissance, two other paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, "Holy Virgin Between the Rock" and "St. John the Baptist", are hung in this corridor.

As for another masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, "Mona Lisa", in the special Mona Lisa Hall, it is protected by several layers of extremely strong bulletproof glass, so it is impossible to get close to it, so it can only be viewed from a distance.

In the middle of the large gallery, there is a passage that can directly access the Mona Lisa Hall. While visiting the large gallery, you can visit the Mona Lisa at any time.

In addition to many Italian paintings, the Louvre sometimes makes some adjustments, moving some famous paintings from the French Painting Gallery on the other side of the Mona Lisa Hall to a large gallery.

These famous paintings include "The Coronation of Napoleon I", "Leading the People Freely", "The Oath of the Brothers of Horas", "The Raft of Medusa" and other top works of brilliance.

Because these top art works that come from Italy and France and are well-known in the history of Western art, the large gallery has become the most important art exhibition area in the Louvre.

No matter whoever comes from, no matter who comes from, whenever you visit the Louvre, the large gallery must not be missed, let alone a top antique art appraisal expert like Ye Tian!

While speaking, Ye Tian and the others stepped on the Samothrace stairs again and walked towards the large gallery on the second floor of Denong Pavilion.

During the process, Ye Tian also introduced the past and present of the Grand Gallery to Betty and the others.

"The Grand Gallery was originally a passage connecting the Louvre and the Tuileries Palace. It was built by the founder of the Bourbon dynasty, King Henry IV of France, in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century.

This is a famous gallery with a large scale that took thirteen years to be built. It is the most spectacular part of the Louvre and the most spectacular art gallery in the world.

During the Second French Empire, the length of the gallery was shortened to two-thirds of its original appearance, which is what we are about to see, which is still breathtaking and extremely shocking!

For example, Henry IV was a hunting maniac. He once ran horses and chased foxes in the large gallery. This shows how grand the Louvre gallery is!…”

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian and his team had already passed the Samothrace stairs to the Louvre Gallery on the second floor of Denon Hall.

It is lunch time. Compared to the peak visits in the morning and afternoon, there are much fewer visitors to the art exhibition area, and most people go to the lounge area to enjoy lunch.

Some visitors left the Louvre and went out for dinner. After lunch, many people would return to the Louvre again. Just keep the ticket stub and don’t need to buy tickets again.

The only trouble is that these visitors have to queue up again and receive another security check.

Of course, there are also many visitors who are quick to watch. They left after checking in the Louvre and did not have the interest to stay here to appreciate the artwork.

What they are more interested in is probably the Art Bridge on the Seine next to the Louvre, where to hang a lock symbolizing love, which may be more meaningful to them.

In addition, there is the Champs Elysees not far away, which can be said to be a pilgrimage place for countless women, with extremely great attraction!

As soon as we walked into the large gallery, we had not had time to appreciate the world's most famous art gallery, but we saw a strange scene.

At the entrance to the large gallery, two men and one woman and three teenagers stood side by side, each leaning forward, making a posture of preparing to start, with an extremely excited expression.

Almost as Ye Tian and the others saw these three guys, the girl standing in the middle shouted.

"Run! Whoever reaches the finish line first will be the winner!"

Before he finished speaking, these three guys were already like wild horses that had run away from their reins, holding hands and rushing out directly, running towards the other end of the large gallery.

"Hahaha"

While striking, these three guys were also laughing loudly, laughing heartily and freely!

Especially the laughter of the girl in the middle was like a silver bell, crisp and pleasant, and extremely beautiful, resounding throughout the Louvre gallery!

Regarding these guys' unrestrained and unrestrained actions, several security personnel at the entrance of the large gallery could only look at each other and smile bitterly, and then immediately chased after them.

The other two security personnel 20 or 30 meters ahead quickly moved to the middle of the large gallery, each spreading his arms, and staring at him with fierce eyes to intercept the three guys who were rushing towards him!

Seeing the scene that happened in front of him, Betty immediately exclaimed excitedly.

"Wow! This is the famous 'Running in the big gallery', right? I didn't expect that you could see this scene as soon as you enter the big gallery. It's so interesting!"

While screaming, Betty even showed a eager expression, as if she was ready to run wildly in this world's most famous art gallery!

Anderson, who was standing on the other side of Ye Tian, ​​and Mattis behind him, were confused and did not understand the specific meaning of the scene in front of him.

"Steven, what is 'running in the big gallery'? Is there any allusion? Those guys are so brave that they dare to run in the big gallery of the Louvre.

If they accidentally knock down a sculpture or destroy a painting hanging on the wall, they will be ready to lose everything, probably to die of crying in the toilet!”

Anderson asked curiously, his eyes full of confusion.

Ye Tian looked at the three guys who had been stopped by the security personnel, and then said with a smile:

"'Running in the big gallery' is indeed an allusion. The first person who ran in the big gallery was the builder of the big gallery, Henry IV, the French King, but he ran on a horse.

In the early 1960s, the famous French film director Truffaut filmed a scene of three people running wildly on the bridge in his best love film "Juel and Jim".

I believe everyone is familiar with this classic love movie, especially the heroine Catherine, who was portrayed by Truffaut as an "eternal woman", a woman who cannot be possessed!

In another French film "The Outlaw", director Godard recreated the scene of three running and racing in order to pay tribute to "Jul and Jim", which was the Grand Gallery of the Louvre.

With the popularity of "The Outlaw", "Running in the Grand Gallery" has become a scramble for countless men and women in love to imitate, becoming a trend and causing a headache for the Louvre.

In 2004, the famous Italian film director Betoruc once again reproduced the classic movie scene running wildly in the large gallery in his love movie "Dream of Paris".

Driven by these famous film directors and classic love movies, "Running in the big gallery" has become an extremely romantic act and has been imitated by countless young men and women!

What we see now is the reappearance of the classic movie shot of "Running in the Big Gallery". Unfortunately, these three guys obviously cannot run to the other end of the Big Gallery!"

After listening to Ye Tian’s explanation, Anderson and the others immediately felt emotion.

"Wow! So that's it, it's really a very romantic move, just the risk is a bit high!"
Chapter completed!
