Chapter 879 I like quiet

But this is not stubborn. An Qingju and An Chuyu found the visitor service center on GPS, and you will definitely find the answer when you go there. An Qingju and An Chuyu groped all the way, crossing the canal, and searching everywhere with GPS. Later, I found that the street sign with the word "Tou Stinformation Center" can be seen on every major street corner, and it is in English instructions.

Sure enough, An Qingju and An Chuyu saw the visitor center opposite an ancient castle, and went forward to find out the location of the altar painting.

Regarding the altar paintings, An Qingju and An Chuyu didn't even know how to say exactly in English, but only knew altarpiece. But it didn't matter. The staff knew that An Qingju and An Chuyu were going to see the altarpiece, so they quickly took out a map and indicated the location for An Qingju and An Chuyu. Following the instructions, An Qingju and An Chuyu came to the Saint Bafskathedraal.

The church is very tall, but I don’t know what it looks like, because it is all covered with scaffolding for repair at this moment. From the appearance, the tower is 8,90 meters high; of course it is not difficult to imagine, it must be a Gothic building.

It is free to enter the church. This church, which was built in the 12th century, has a bit of origin. It also has oil paintings of Rubens. The church also has an underground altar, which displays many bishop's costumes. There are tombs of dead monks, bishops and other things on the ground in the basement.

There are many niches around the church, one of which is a replica of the famous altar painting "Adoration of the Mystic Lamb" (Dutch in Hetlamgods). To see the original, you need to spend 4 euros per person to enter the dim showroom from a small door next to the entrance of the church to see.

There is not much space inside, only this altar painting is displayed. It provides an audio guide, but there is no Chinese. An Qingju and An Chuyu had to take a English one and listen to it. There is no photo taken inside, so the appearance of this altar painting is found on the Internet.

This altar painting is actually a large work composed of 12 door panels and 20 pictures. The front is the left side of the picture above, and there are 8 pictures on the back, which looks on the right side of the picture.

Obviously this is a religious subject, so I won’t talk about it here. Those who like to know the contents of the painting can use Baidu. What is more attractive is the color of the picture, which is very bright. It is not the contents of the picture, but the painting techniques and skills that make this set of altar paintings a milestone work in Western painting.

It is famous, probably everyone who studies art knows it. The author of this set of altar paintings is Niu x's Fan. Ike brothers, and these two brothers are the originator of oil paintings. In the past, Western paintings were usually tempera paintings (that is, adding egg yolks to the pigment as a coloring medium) or wet murals (that is, paintings with water-mixed pigments on the surface of plaster plaster), but there are problems, that is, the pigments will dry soon.

It is said that the Fan Ike brothers created their own unique oils as pigment medium, making the picture bright and brilliant. After hundreds of years, the picture is still the same, and the time for the paint to dry out during creation is just right. This is why An Qingju and An Chuhui are what they call "oil paintings" today.

Such a famous one, you have to look at it even more beautifully. It is indeed very beautiful, and the Van Ike brothers were influenced by Persian fine painting techniques and painted very carefully, and they wished they would not miss every strand of hair. No wonder this painting took almost twenty years, and the brother died in the tenth year. The younger brother continued to paint.

Later, An Qingju and An Chuyu also saw his younger brother Yang Fan Ike's "Thevirgin and child with chancellorrolin" in the Louvre. This is a story later.

Back from Ghent, An Qingju and An Chuyu traveled through Brussels to head towards An Qingju and An Chuyu's residence. Originally, GPS suggested that An Chuyu go around Brussels, but the two wanted to take a tour by car, but they encountered a traffic jam.

It rained heavily in Brussels, and the tunnels in the city were closed. Everyone was crowded on the ground, and the traffic jam was as good as the capital. What was slightly better was that no one was stuffing it and honking it everywhere. Everyone was slowly lined up in the rain, moving hard. An Qingju and An Chuyu, two illiterate and unrecognizable people, just slowly looked at the street signs and looked for maps across Brussels.

An Qingju and An Chuyu lived in the suburbs of Brussels, between a large forest, and the scenery was very beautiful. Following the instructions of GPS, the house of An Qingju and An Chuyu was soon found, and the house was also very beautiful. But the door was knocked on and there was no opening. I could only hear the dogs inside shouting.

I found the master's phone number and called it. It turned out that the hostess had called An Qingju several times, saying that she could not wait for An Qingju and An Chu to meet because she had something to do today. An Qingju didn't answer any of them. The hostess told An Qingju and An Chu to meet on the phone that she left a key on the back door and could enter the room by unscrewing it.

An Qingju and An Chuyu took care of this, and sure enough! It turned out that An Qingju and An Chuyu's room had a completely independent entrance from the yard, and there was no need to pass through the owner's house. In addition to the owner, this residence only welcomed one guest from An Qingju and An Chuyu.

The part where An Qingju and An Chuyu live is a two-story structure. The first floor is a large living room connected to the restaurant and an independent bathroom. The second floor is a bedroom. The room is fully equipped, and the refrigerator actually offers unlimited supply of cola, beer, two mineral waters with steam and without steam. There is a coffee bullet machine that can make coffee of various flavors in the restaurant.

The owner has a big golden retriever dog. When An Qingju and An Chu meet, it always whistles twice when they enter. When An Qingju and An Chu meet, it sits behind the floor-to-ceiling glass and looks at An Qingju and An Chu say nothing.

The traffic jam made both of them feel a little tired, and it would be better to find a casual and comfortable restaurant to eat. The hostess was obviously very delicate and had already left the business cards of several nearby restaurants on the desk of the room. An Qingju and An Chuyu compared it and chose an Italian restaurant. They only needed to walk up to 6,700 meters to get there.

The time was just right, and when An Qingju and An Chu met, they had just started their business dinner. Italian cuisine is far less particular than French cuisine and it tastes very casual. However, An Chu met the pasta in this restaurant, which is very good! It mainly sells seafood pasta, various seafood and pasta. Of course, there are also steaks, which are also good.

After eating, the two of them decided to eat here tomorrow. They should learn from the lessons in Bonne and don’t leave when they meet a restaurant that is Kexin!

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, I met the hostess stephanie who came home. She was very kind and fashionable. I made an appointment to have breakfast at 9 o'clock the next morning.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the hostess Stephanie brought breakfast for An Qingju and An Chuyu. She originally wanted to meet An Qingju and An Chuyu's family. Could it be that she wanted to have dinner with her host?

People had already considered it and quickly brought breakfast to An Qingju and An Chuyu's restaurant with various trays, and told An Qingju and An Chuyu to put it there directly after eating. She would pack it up when An Qingju and An Chuyu went out - how considerate!

The breakfast was really great. Various jams, cheese, and bacon were placed in a double-layer tray, as well as a variety of bread, cakes, and yogurt. The stephanie also has a very artistic atmosphere. Flowers are adorned on the plate, and various handmade candles in the room... It's great.

An Qingju and An Chuyu’s plan is very clear today, just go see Ding Ding! But I found a little interesting place. When An Qingju and An Chuyu talked about tintintin with stephanie, she didn’t understand. When An Qingju explained who it was, she suddenly understood. "oh! Temptation saysdandan!"

It turns out that the Dutch (and later found out that there are French people) pronounced "Dandan". No wonder "Walk All" says "Dandan Museum".

I guess every Chinese knows Ding Ding, and even if he is not familiar with him, he has heard of it. Even if he is not familiar with Ding Ding, he probably knows Smurfs? They are not from Disney, but from Belgium.

In fact, Belgium is a veritable "comic kingdom". According to practitioners, it is said that one of every three comics in the world is Belgian. For Chinese tourists, what symbols do Belgium have? An Chuyu thinks about it. Belgian chocolate, peeing kids, detective Paul, and Ding Ding and Smurfs, right?

Belgians also know the status of their comics in the world, so there is also a special "cartoon walking route" in Brussels, with a total length of 3 kilometers. There are more than a dozen comic walls along the way, and there are lifelike comic characters on them, appearing on the street corners and on the walls of the shops in a particularly strange and unintentional way.

Even if you don’t have that fever, those who go straight to Ding Ding like An Qingju and An Chuyu will definitely return home with satisfaction. Let’s talk about the Ding Ding journey between An Qingju and An Chuyu.

In fact, you can find Dingding Store on the commercial streets of Brussels. When An Qingju and An Chuyu met tourists, they said that the so-called "Dingding Museum" they have been to is actually just a Dingding Store. Of course, they may encounter Dingding everywhere. If you are a Dingding fan like An Qingju and An Chuyu, these two places are the right way.

The first is the Herger Museum (mus eherge), which was opened in the outskirts of Brussels and was only opened in 2007. The only ones introduced in this museum are Herger and Dingtin.

The second is the Belgian Comics Museum (centrebelge de labandedes) in the center of Brussels. This museum was established around the 1980s. It contains many famous Belgian comic characters, and of course, a large area is also Dingding. In addition, you can also see many comic characters from all over the world.

This is how An Qingju and An Chuyu planned the itinerary for this day. First, go to the Herger Museum to see Dingding, and then go to the city comic museum. When you are reading the city comic museum in the city, you can also visit the city center of Brussels. From the map, the city center of Brussels is just a two-hour place to visit.

The Herger Museum opened at 10.30 in the morning. An Qingju and An Chuyu had plenty of time to have breakfast, check the route, and find a place to park.

As mentioned earlier, the museum is in the suburbs, but it actually looks like a residential and commercial area next to a forest. An Qingju and An Chuyu's car were dizzy and parked in the underground garage in the residential area. It was simple to climb to the ground. I saw the Herger Museum at a glance.

This museum also provides audio guides, which are only in English. There are many exhibition halls in it, which roughly introduces these parts.

Herger's life - introduces Herger's life, how he engages in creation, etc.; the source and development history of Ding Ding's creation; the main partners around Ding Ding, the original shape of each partner in real life; the real scenes appearing in Ding Ding comics and real characters; the original paintings of various Ding Ding comics, and its creation process.

It’s a pity that the Herger Museum can take photos except for the lobby, but the exhibition hall is not allowed to take photos. The photos of An Qingju and An Chuhui can only be taken here.

But it is really beautiful inside, and it takes two hours to go for a walk. All the corners of the museum seem to be inadvertently exposed various traces of Ding Ding, such as the silhouettes of Ding Ding and the captain on the entrance and exit, and Bai Xue is leading the way at the emergency exit, and even Ding Ding in the elevator is looking at you in surprise in the mirror.

This is even more so in the exhibition hall. The projected lights include portraits of the Ding Ding family, and the hand-painted Ding family portraits at the corner of the stairs. Each light page on the chandelier is a Ding Ding task... For Ding Ding fans, visiting here is to immerse themselves in Ding Ding's world.

This feeling of immersion is not as exaggerated as in Disneyland. The museum design is a typical European style, very subtle, and the comic characters also exude so much spirituality and cultural heritage, as if they are alive, they will follow the whole process of your visit silently.

What impressed An Qingju and An Chuyu was a diagram of the appearance and changes of the characters in the Ding Ding comics. This picture was found in the Herger Museum and in the Belgian Comics Museum behind. An Qingju and An Chuyu were lucky enough to take it.

The total coordinates of this picture are from top to bottom. The characters in "The Adventures of Tintin" are marked with their names in Dutch, French and English. The horizontal coordinates are from left to right. The character first appeared in which comics in which year, and the image of him/her/its at that time in this comic episode.

Anyone who is familiar with serialized comics knows that the cartoonist's painting proficiency and style will gradually change with serialization time, and the drawing techniques of the comics that are later produced are often more vivid and lively - that is the result of continuous accumulation and interaction with the audience.
