Chapter 1325 The Secret of Notre Dame

From perspective, Ye Tian immediately saw the "Napoleon I Coronation Ceremony" in front of him, with painter David's delicate brushstrokes, oil paints, traces of paintings, canvases, and the wall behind him, etc.

All of this was clearly presented in Ye Tian’s eyes, without any omissions!

Even Ye Tian saw through another world-famous painting hanging on the back of the wall and the several visitors in front of the painting, without any secrets.

However, since the area of ​​"Napoleon I's Coronation Ceremony" is too large, reaching more than 50 square meters, from where Ye Tian stood, he could not see the complete painting at a glance, so he could only come a little bit.

The first thing he saw was the central area where Napoleon and Josephine were located. This was David's most attentive painting and the focus of the whole painting. The picture was almost perfect!

Unfortunately, in this central area, Ye Tian did not find any hidden secrets, but only saw the painter David's extremely brilliant painting skills, which was amazing!

After feeling secretly, Ye Tian immediately changed his target and began to see through the area where the Pope and his entourage were located, which was the secondary area of ​​this painting!

Still finding nothing, not finding any hidden secrets!

In the writings of the painter David, the depressed expression of Pope Pius VII and the frustrated look of being angry but not speaking are fully displayed.

The Cardinal and many followers standing on both sides and behind Pius VII were also very depressed, and their faces were beautiful and they couldn't see where they went.

Next, Ye Tian turned his gaze to the location where Napoleon's mother was and began to see through the area.

Compared with other characters in the painting, Napoleon's mother obviously added it later. Regarding this, the sketch traces on the canvas give proof that Napoleon's mother was not in the original sketch.

Although this is a brand new discovery, it is not the secret that Ye Tian hopes to see.

Like the ones I have looked through before, there are no surprises in this area.

Afterwards, Ye Tian gradually looked through the area where the painter David was, where Napoleon's younger brothers and sisters were located, as well as other princes and nobles, and envoys from various countries watched the ceremony. He did not find any discoveries.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian completely looked through the places where the characters in this painting were all seen through, leaving only the background of the painting and some decorations that were not yet visible.

For Ye Tian, ​​this result is undoubtedly a bit disappointing. Is there no hidden secret in this painting? It’s just that I’m thinking too much!

Although he thought so in his heart, Ye Tian did not end his perspective!

After a moment of pause, he looked at the background of the painting, which was the place where the coronation ceremony was held, the interior environment and decoration of Notre Dame de Paris.

Ye Tian still found nothing on the walls and sculptures, and did not find any secret notes or mysterious characters, or numbers.

However, when his eyes swept over a dark green curtain hanging above the viewing platform, he made a surprising discovery.

It was a French address name, ‘No. 15, Shannuness Street’, with a very light handwriting and small color, the same as the curtain, and it was covered with a layer of dark green pigment.

Because of this, and it is located in an inconspicuous and impossible for anyone to study, this line of text has not been discovered, and the secret has been preserved until now.

On the streets of Shannunes, Ye Tian happened to know this street, on the island of Sidi, where Notre Dame is located, less than fifty meters from Notre Dame and not far from the Louvre.

There is a very good hotel on this street. Before leaving for Europe, Ye Tian had considered the five-star hotel when booking the hotel.

Later, considering that the hotel was on the island, there was limited space for rushing around, and the Regina Hotel was closer to the Louvre and had better scenery, I didn’t choose the five-star hotel.

I don’t know what building is “15 Xiangnunes Street”? Is it an ordinary residential building or a hotel? Is it a private property or a government property? Is it possible to buy it?

What secret is hidden at '15 Shannones Street'? Is it related to Jacques, Louis David, or Napoleon? Will there be any major secrets or treasures hidden?

After a brief surprise, a series of questions immediately flashed through Ye Tian’s mind!

At the same time, he quickly made a decision to go to No. 15 Xiangnunes Street another day to find out what secrets are hidden there. Maybe there will be a surprising and major discovery.

This trip to Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral was also a must-visit attraction, just to grab a rabbit, so it’s not a waste of time!

If there is indeed any major secret or treasure hidden at No. 15 Shannuness Street, you must try your best to buy the building and start the treasure hunt!

Whether that building belongs to private or French government, as long as it is not an annex to Notre Dame Cathedral, Ye Tian is confident of taking it. It is just a matter of how much money it costs!

Next, Ye Tian looked through the rest of the painting and did not miss any corner.

However, he never found any other characters or addresses, "No. 15 Shannuness Street" is the only hidden secret of this world-famous painting.

It took about ten seconds to see Ye Tian thoroughly looked through the "Napoleon I Coronation Ceremony" and received a surprise with an unknown answer.

Immediately afterwards, he withdrew his gaze, ended his perspective, and continued to explain this world-famous painting to Betty and the others.

"..., David painted two paintings of the "Corruption of Napoleon I", one is right in front of everyone, and the other is preserved in the Palace of Versailles.

The two paintings are almost exactly the same, the only difference is in the dress color of Napoleon's favorite sister Polina, the red veil of the Palace of Versailles, and the white veil... "

Two or three minutes later, Ye Tian’s professional and exciting explanation finally ended.

As soon as his voice fell, there was immediately applause around him.

"Smacking"

The applause was very warm, from Betty and the others, as well as several nearby visitors.

When the applause fell a little, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

"Steven, your explanation is really wonderful. It is definitely the best explanation I have ever heard. It is extremely professional and very vivid, and it is simply unmatched!"

These words came from Martinez. He and two other high-level officials of the Louvre have arrived here for a while, and they happened to hear Ye Tian's explanation in the second half.

Hearing the old friend's voice, Ye Tian immediately turned around, looked at the three high-rise buildings of the Louvre Museum, and said politely with a smile:

"It's so proud! Martinez, compared to this "Napoleon I's Coronation Ceremony", my explanation is very pale, and it's not enough to describe the beauty of this famous painting!

These top artworks in the Louvre collection are so beautiful and of high quality! They are simply unparalleled! Visiting here is like swimming in the ocean of art, which is so satisfying!

Martinez, if possible, I would like to change our trading conditions a little. You may not have to exchange Chinese antique art with me, and I don’t mind other top artworks!

I dare not expect Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" and "Holy Virgin of the Rock", as well as this "Napoleon I's Coronation Ceremony". I believe that it is impossible for you, the Louvre, to trade them.

I'm not very interested in religious artworks. Everyone knows why. If you are willing to exchange "Let the People Freely" or "The Oath of the Horas Brothers", I would be very happy!"

"You are very happy? But we are not happy, Steven, you are such a greedy bastard! You are so fond of appetite that you dare to make the idea of ​​"Let the People Freely Guide the People" and "The Oath of the Horas Brothers"!

"Lighting the People" is a symbol of the French national spirit, and "The Oath of the Brothers of Horas" is a war song of the French Revolution, which inspired countless revolutionaries who went on one after another and allowed them to fight for freedom.

Want these two paintings? I advise you to dispel this unrealistic idea as soon as possible. No matter what kind of antique artwork you take to exchange for, it is impossible to exchange these two unique world-famous paintings!”

Martinez said angrily, shaking his head extremely firmly.

The other two Louvre senior officials were the same. They were so angry that they rolled their eyes, but they were helpless.

Many tourists at the scene were frightened by Ye Tian's words, and they all looked at Ye Tian in a daze, as if they were looking at a madman.

Can you change to "Let the People Freely Guide the People" and "The Oath of the Horas Brothers"? Ye Tian certainly knew it. Unless he could produce top-level artworks at the level of "Mona Lisa", he wouldn't even think about it!

After making a few jokes, Ye Tian then got to the point.

"Martinez, if I guess correctly, there must be good news from the Jimi Museum. Have they already discussed the exchange conditions?"

"Yes, the Jimei Museum held an afternoon meeting and finally made a decision to exchange it with you and exchange it for the jewelry of Queen Mary in your hands with Chinese antique art.

Let’s talk about the specific exchange conditions. It’s obviously not suitable here. We will close in a while. We can find a place to sit down and discuss it slowly.”

Martinez said seriously, her eyes unable to hide the excitement.

Ye Tian raised his hand and looked at his watch, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Okay, we have almost visited the French Oil Painting Museum and can leave now. Let's talk differently. I really want to know the specific exchange conditions for the Jimei Museum!"

"Since that's the case, let's go now. Napoleon III's restaurant is not far from here, it's very quiet and can be used to discuss our deals. Please come with me!"

After saying that, Martinez made a gesture of invitation, then turned around and walked out of the exhibition hall.
