Chapter 1681 Are You a Warrior or a Painter?

"Ah, then Grandma Huang asked Robert to take Xiao Bing there?"

"Test, I'm here to test you. As my future grandson-in-law, he must be able to be good at both literary and martial arts. Only in this way can he be able to help you with more ideas. He basically has no skills in martial arts. There are so many things that can be tested, but I don’t understand the art aspect. I think Mason will definitely make things difficult for them when he sees them going in. It is difficult for Xiao Bing to satisfy Mason, but as long as he has a little understanding of art, If he proves that he is not a pure martial artist who knows nothing, then he is temporarily qualified to have a boyfriend or girlfriend with you."

Princess Anna did not expect that Grandma Huang had already seen the relationship between herself and Xiao Bing, and not only that, she also conducted an assessment here. To put it bluntly, she was checking Xiao Bing. Her face immediately turned red to her neck. Said: "Grandma Huang, actually I...actually I..."

The Queen of Country Y looked at her granddaughter with a smile and said, "Don't say that your relationship with him is not that kind of relationship. Grandma Huang is not yet blinded by old age."

"Well, it's..." Princess Anna is not the kind of coy girl. Seeing that her grandmother has seen through it, she won't deny it. What's more, she will let her know sooner or later. , so he said, "I do like Xiao Bing, and he is very good to me. I originally planned to tell Grandma Huang about this matter earlier, but there are some things that have not been resolved yet."

"Is there something?" the queen said with a smile, "What is it? Are you afraid that I will stop you? Don't worry, I won't do it here. Grandma Huang is not that kind of unenlightened person."

Princess Anna said with some embarrassment: "Grandma Huang...actually it's not...that's not the problem..."

Her Majesty the Queen frowned and asked: "What is that problem? Is there really something that is not convenient to say? Anna, I know you. Among my children and grandchildren, you are the most promising one, and I The one I am most optimistic about is definitely not someone who does things like a mother-in-law."

Princess Anna sighed and said: "It's because I am one of his many girlfriends, and he doesn't know how to marry us all."

After hearing these words, Her Majesty the Queen felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Seeing that her Grandma Huang's face was not very good, Princess Anna was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted: "Grandma Huang, Grandma Huang, are you okay, Grandma Huang?"

In the Queen's Art Gallery, Mason looked at Xiao Bing with an ugly face, and said with a cold snort: "Then I have to ask for advice. I wonder if you have heard of "The Last Supper"?"

"Of course I've heard of this." Xiao Bing said with a smile, "This is a painting created by the artist Leonardo da Vinci. It is the most famous of all works based on this theme."

"Yeah." Mason said, "Not bad. It's better than a clueless person like Robert. But what I want to ask is not just that. I want to ask you, this painting is not really about Daphne. He is an amazing person, but why is it that only this work by Leonardo da Vinci finally left its mark in history?”

"Because Leonardo da Vinci is the most famous."

Seeing that Mason's face turned ugly, Xiao Bing didn't know what was going on with the old Mason. He always seemed to be on the receiving end of gunpowder. He thought to himself that he might as well stop joking with you, so he said with a smile: "It's just a joke. , It’s a joke. Then I will explain it, and the old gentleman will listen to see if it is right. If there is anything wrong, you can also correct me."

Even if Xiao Bing didn't understand the situation, he could now see that this old Mason was not asking him questions at all, but was deliberately testing himself, so his tone became much more humble.

Hearing Xiao Bing's change of tone, Old Mason snorted coldly and his face looked a little better, but not too much.

Xiao Bing said: "In the painting of "The Last Supper" painted by Leonardo da Vinci, the characters in the painting are meticulously and vividly depicted with expressions of fear, anger, suspicion, confession, etc., as well as gestures, eyes and behaviors. . Of course, if I just say this, it must be too simple. I think even a junior high school student who has seen paintings can tell it, so I will explain it in detail."

Xiao Bing also has some understanding of art, and has always respected and loved Leonardo da Vinci, so after mentioning this painting, Xiao Bing also started to talk about it: "First of all, let me say something The source of this painting. "The Last Supper" is based on the "New Testament". According to the "New Testament Gospel of Mark", Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Passover for the last time, and the Jewish chief priests conspired to kill him at night. Arrest him, but there is no one to guide him. At this time, Jesus' disciple Judas reported to the chief priests, and the chief priests gave Judas 30 pieces of money. So Judas made an appointment with the chief priests, and the person he kissed was Jesus. . On the day of Passover, Jesus sat with the 12 disciples for the last supper. He said to the 12 disciples melancholy, I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me. After hearing this, the 12 disciples Either shocked, angry, excited, or nervous. "The Last Supper" shows the tense scene at this moment."

Old Mason nodded and said, "You know the legend of The Last Supper very well, but it has nothing to do with the painting."

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "I don't think so. Mr. Mason, please listen to me. Before you understand any painting, you must first understand what the painting expresses, the artistic conception of the painting, and the contents of the painting." The story told by the content or the story the painter himself wants to express, only in this way can you deeply understand a painting, and this is appreciating the painting, rather than simply looking at the painting."

After listening to Xiao Bing's words, Old Mason gradually began to dissipate a lot of the coldness in his eyes, and his whole person became calmer. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's the truth. He understands this truth at such a young age." , no matter how much you can understand "The Last Supper", just based on your awareness, you are at least more qualified than Robert to appreciate the paintings in this art gallery."

Xiao Bing glanced at Robert curiously. It seemed that Old Mason disliked Robert very much. Robert also looked embarrassed because of this.

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "Now that I've finished talking about the history of "The Last Supper", let me talk about the painting itself."

"Okay, go ahead and let me hear your opinion."

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "It can be seen that the old gentleman must be a senior who has a deep understanding of painting. The junior may be just a master, but it doesn't matter. If there are any shortcomings, the old gentleman can give you advice."

Well, this young man is nice and has a humble attitude. It seems that I blamed him a little bit just now.

Old Mason's feeling towards Xiao Bing has gotten better and better, and he even has some appreciation for him.

"The Last Supper is 420 cm wide and 910 cm long. Da Vinci not only strived for innovation in painting techniques, but also in the layout of the picture. The layout of the picture has always been that Jesus' disciples sit in a row, Jesus Sitting alone at one end. Leonardo da Vinci asked the twelve disciples to sit on both sides of Jesus. Jesus sat lonely in the middle. His face was reflected by the bright window behind him, looking solemn and solemn."

Old Mason nodded slightly, with a kind face, and said with a smile: "Yes, you observed very carefully."

Xiao Bing continued to talk confidently: "The strong contrast in the background of this painting makes people focus all their attention on Jesus. The restless disciples next to Jesus, everyone's facial expressions, eyes, and movements They are all different. Especially Judas, who was in a panic, knocking over the salt shaker with his elbow, leaning back, his face full of fear and anxiety."

"In various versions of "The Last Supper", Judas is usually sitting alone opposite other people; or is preparing to receive the bread dipped in soup from Christ; Judas usually has a beard, black hair, and a treacherous face; he often holds a hand The purse, implying that it was the thirty pieces of silver for which he betrayed Christ; if the apostles had halos, Judas's might have been black or without a halo."

"Jesus in this work of Leonardo da Vinci is the most recognizable, as he is in the center of the crowd. Regarding the identity of Judas, Da Vinci did not use any props; his outstretched hand was not obtrusive and seemed It's more like being nervous; he didn't separate from the crowd, he just blended in with the other innocent apostles. But if you are patient and look carefully, you can still recognize Judas from his weird posture and other clues. Compared with the previous people A slightly clumsy way of expression that distinguishes one from another."

After hearing Xiao Bing's opinion, Old Mason couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he stroked his beard and exclaimed: "Not bad, not bad."

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "Of course, the brilliance of this painting is not just that. This is just my personal opinion. If there are any shortcomings, I hope Mr. Mason can correct me."

Mason walked over with excitement on his face, stretched out his hand to Xiao Bing, and said, "Come sit down on the chair with me and talk slowly. There is no room for correction, but I still have something to add. Said, it just so happens that we can confirm each other's opinions."

Xiao Bing's eyes also lit up, and he said excitedly: "This is what I want."

The two people walked to a chair aside and sat face to face, and then they started chatting with each other. It was obvious that Mason became more interested in talking, and Xiao Bing became more respectful to the old man in front of him. , the more I was impressed by the old man's knowledge of paintings, there were simply too many places that Xiao Bing could not touch.

Robert watched on the sidelines, completely speechless and completely stunned.

Wo Cao, aren’t you a martial arts student? How come you still know how to draw? And you can chat with top painters, why don't you go to heaven?

Robert was stunned!
