Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Port Said is extremely busy. Ships coming and going bring goods from all directions here, as well as business travelers from all directions.

    A ship flying the flag of Ningguo slowly moored to the port terminal of Port Said.

    On the deck of the ship, Captain Zhao Han came to a painter and carefully looked at the paintings of the old Italian man in front of him. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which mostly used landscape paintings, the paintings here in Europe were mostly full of religious overtones, with figures as the main objects.  host.

    Oriental paintings emphasize verve and artistic conception, while European paintings emphasize resemblance in form and appreciability.

    Two completely different painting styles have also had a huge collision with the deepening of exchanges between the East and the West. The painter in front of me is named Leonardo da Vinci. It is said that he is a very famous painter in Italy and France, and even  He was also invited by royal families from various countries.

    "But this painter, I don't know what he was thinking. Despite his age, he actually said that he wanted to go to the East, go to the Ming Dynasty to learn the art of Eastern painting, and at the same time learn Eastern medicine, mathematics, astronomy, physics, etc.

    Although he was full of contempt for his love of painting portraits of naked women, Zhao Han had to admit that he was indeed a versatile and thoughtful scholar after some exchanges with Leonardo da Vinci along the way.

    I am a graduate of Tianjin Maritime College, and I have learned a lot in the college. Astronomy, geography, ocean currents, meteorology, medicine, mathematics, etc. must reach a certain level before I can graduate.

    However, when I communicated with the old man in front of me along the way, he was also of a very high level. He understood all aspects and conducted relatively in-depth research.

    Zhao Han even has profound research and knowledge in many completely different aspects such as music, architecture, biology, optics, mechanics, etc. He is definitely a thoroughly lustful and knowledgeable old man.

    Therefore, even though the old man likes to talk about Chi Guoguo's human body portraits, Zhao Han still respects him quite a bit.

    Look at Leonardo da Vinci who is concentrating on painting at this time. He is creating a painting called "Flowers". This painting clearly depicts the naked image of a sixteen-year-old Italian girl without any cover-up.  This time lingchenks.com Zhang Si

    Looking at this painting carefully, I have to admit that his painting level is extremely high, not only perfectly showing the graceful body of the 28-year-old girl, but also vividly showing the youthful vitality and shyness of the girl.

    "Mr. Zhao, the human body is the most magical and wonderful thing at this time. It is a wonderful work of nature!"

    "And among all people, only the body of a girl is the most sacred and holy!"

    Da Vinci slowly painted the last stroke, then wrote his name and time in the lower left corner of the portrait, then took out a seal from his pocket and stamped it.

    "Mr. Leonardo da Vinci, don't you Europeans all sign on the back of your paintings?"

    Zhao Han looked at it and immediately asked in confusion.

    Zhao Han, who often travels to and from Italy and is also very fond of painting, has collected a lot of European paintings and knows some things about European paintings.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this going to your Ming Empire?¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t all the paintings of you Ming people like this?¡±

    "I also specially imitated your Ming Dynasty people in recruiting people and carved a seal."

    Da Vinci smiled and said.

    Then he handed the painting in front of him to Zhao Han and said, "This is for you. Thank you for taking care of me all the way."

    "This, how can this be so embarrassing?"

    Zhao Han saw it and immediately said quickly.

    "Don't you Ming artists all like to give some pen and ink to their friends?"

    "I had a lot of fun chatting with you along the way. If you treat me as a friend, then take it."

    Da Vinci¡¯s Ming speech is very good. He deliberately learned it because he wanted to learn a lot of things from the Ming Dynasty. If he didn¡¯t know the language and characters of the Ming Dynasty, it was obviously not possible.

    I had a great time chatting with Zhao Han along the way, from the differences between Eastern and Western cultures to astronomy, geography, ocean currents and weather, to the differences between Chinese poetry and European poetry, etc.

    They had a great time chatting, and Zhao Han respected him quite a lot, so Leonardo da Vinci learned from the Ming Dynasty literati and drew a painting for Zhao Han.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll accept it~¡±

    "Sir, I am going to Daming now. I have nothing to help you. There is stillI hope sir will accept the expense.  "

    "In addition, I will write a letter to my husband. With this letter, my husband will probably be able to find the captains wherever he goes, and it will probably be of some use to facilitate boarding the ship."

    When Zhao Han heard this, he stopped refusing and went to his captain's room to get dozens of taels of silver, plus wrote a letter and gave it to Leonardo da Vinci.

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll accept it too.¡±

    Da Vinci looked at it, smiled, and accepted it happily.

    He has been looking good everywhere in his later years. Although his family background is not bad and very wealthy, he has already spent a lot of money. When he went to the Ming Empire, known as the richest country, he spent money like water.

    The money given by Zhao Han is indeed of great use.

    He also planned to find some beautiful Ming women to create some portraits with Ming women as the background after going to Ming Dynasty.

    ??Obviously, these all cost money, and I heard that the people of Ming Dynasty are quite conservative. Women of Ming Dynasty take this aspect very seriously, so money will inevitably be used to pave the way.

    Soon, Da Vinci packed up his things gracefully and disappeared from sight with his servant, leaving only Zhao Han on the boat, holding the painting in his hand.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to throw this away. After all, it is a painting by a great artist, but it seems inappropriate to collect it.

    If the landscape paintings were popular here in the Ming Dynasty, then of course they should be kept well and collected. But this is a portrait of a woman. In the traditional impression of the Ming people, these are all obscene and not worthy of publicity.  , if you keep it, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it.  Zhida z.com Zhixiao

    "Forget it, after all, it is a painting created by a great artist. I will keep it well when I get back."

    After thinking about it, Zhao Han decided to keep it.

    Then he came to his captain's cabin, where there were hundreds of various paintings, all of which he collected when he went to Italy.

    The paintings of the Ming Dynasty were relatively expensive. Even if they were painted by less famous painters, they would cost several taels of silver.

    Especially with the promotion and popularization of new schools, more and more people have received education and learned knowledge, and at the same time, the living standards of Ming people are getting higher and higher.

    Naturally, the demand for calligraphy and painting is higher and more.

    In the past, those down-and-out scholars often made a living by writing and painting, but even if they were down and out, those calligraphy and paintings could only be afforded by rich people.

    As for now, these calligraphy and paintings, the rising tide has naturally lifted all boats.

    Therefore, the cost of collecting Ming Dynasty calligraphy and paintings is relatively high.

    But it is different outside the Ming Dynasty, especially in Europe. Those painters and the like are often very poor, and a painting does not cost much at all.

    Italy has always been a center of literature and art, with a large number of painters gathered there. Zhao Han, who often traveled to Italy, collected a large number of paintings at extremely low prices.

    Oil paintings, sketches, and even Zhao Han has collected a lot of statues, anyway, as long as he is (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
