Today is the first Sunday of each month, Wala! All museums are free. This will make An Qingju and An Chuyu earn more than one more day. In addition to the six-day museum pass behind, the two oil-stealing mice were having fun.

It wasn't too early to go out, it looked about nine o'clock. But Paris was really refreshing on the weekend morning. The streets were quiet, with blue dots and white clouds reflecting the streets of Paris. It's hard to say what it felt like, but I just think this kind of street is really suitable for walking and going out.

Walking to the main street, you will find that there is a unique scene in Paris on Sunday. There are also walking paths in the middle of the up and down lanes of some streets in Paris. This road is where people who ride bicycles or walk their dogs can walk.

The streets of Paris are generally very wide, and it is not enough to set up walking trails on both sides of the road. It seems that the Ottoman Baron considered this a hundred years ago. On Sunday, the middle walking trail naturally became a bazaar.

In the past, An Chuyu thought that he could leave behind closed doors for customers in major shopping malls and supermarkets on Sundays (it was also a commendable courage, so he could keep money without making money). It would be fine, but where would the people go to buy a necessity for daily necessities?

It seems that it’s good to come to the market! The things in these markets look so fresh, including various meats, fresh meats or seasoned meats, and sausages; there are a wide variety of fruits and vegetables; there are also various sauces and baked pastries. Most of the things are not packaged, and many stall owners and customers are also familiar with them.

These markets were on the street at some point, but they were definitely clean and clean on Monday. When An Qingju and An Chuyu saw tourists, they just settled their breakfast here. They had to put on a large piece of freshly cooked pie and eat it while walking. It was so good.

Today, An Qingju and An Chuyu went to the Osay Museum for the first time. It was free. An Qingju and An Chuyu took a walk around the various exhibition halls of the Osay Museum. Later, I went there again, and I went there for the exhibits that An Qingju and An Chuyu were thinking about.

There are three major art galleries in Paris, divided into the order of the artworks displayed. They are: the Louvre, the Orsay Museum and the Pompidou Centre. Among them, the Louvre displays artworks before 1848; the Pompidou Centre is a modern artwork from later. The Orsay Museum is a Western artwork between them.

An Qingju and An Chuyu have read a few books on Western art history. There is a documentary about "History of Western Art". The division of European art is similar to the museums visited by An Qingju and An Chuyu. Let's take this as the basis for the time being. According to the documentary, Western art is roughly divided into 6 stages.

The post-Medieval period (the Middle Ages), Renaissance, Baroque period, Rococo and Neoclassical period, Romantic period, Impressionist and Post-Impressionist period. The artworks from the first five periods can be basically seen in the Louvre, and the Neoclassical and Romantic periods, as well as works from the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist periods are all in the Osay Museum.

Of course, the division of these periods is divided by the iconic era of appearance. Even in the Impressionist period, people still create works that reflect the style of the Romantic period.

This explains why you can sometimes see works in neoclassical style and even Rococo style in the Orsay Museum. They were later imitated by the styles of the previous period, but not the works of that period.

The entire museum was converted from a railway station, on the left bank of the Seine River, facing the Louvre. The transparent dome in the waiting hall brought natural lighting to the museum.

On this day, when An Qingju and An Chu met, there was a long queue outside the door, waiting for half an hour to enter. Later, when An Qingju and An Chu came with a museum pass, they just went in directly from another entrance, and there was no queue.

In the museum, there are no other exhibition halls except the lobby - this is different from the Louvre. The exhibits in the Louvre can be taken, as long as there is no flash.

What’s more happy is that the Osai Museum has a Chinese audio guide, 5 euros per person, which is worth renting. Of course. If you don’t use an audio guide, you can also buy a Chinese version of the Osai Guide in the store. 9 euros per person, which contains almost all the high-definition photos of famous exhibits.

The most important thing is that the names of the artists translated in this Chinese version of the visiting guide are exactly the same as the translation habits of our Chinese countries - you will find that this is very important later.

In addition to artwork, this building can also be appreciated. As the ancient big clock at the railway station, it has been preserved and has a very delicious taste. There is also a particularly tall cafe in the museum. It has a strong artistic atmosphere, and it is also a choice to go in and be elegant. Of course, An Qingju and An Chuyu also went in to take photos, haha.

An Qingju and An Chuyu are not art professionals. They simply appreciate Western art, and like it if they look good; if they can't understand it, they will fall behind - so An Qingju and An Chuyu did not go to the Pompidou Center. They privately thought that there would be more people who couldn't understand it there. In terms of art forms, An Qingju and An Chuyu liked painting more than sculptures.

One is the relationship between color, and the other is the lack of plot in sculpture. Sculptures mostly describe a single scene of people and objects. Most of the time, they can only be understood and appreciated through the expressions of the characters and the stories behind the sculpture. Paintings are different. A painting can be a landscape, a historical fact, and a moment of life can be captured.

This is true for both Renaissance and Impressionism. In the era without photography, An Qingju and An Chuyu were not only able to get close to history through these paintings, but also able to visit the spiritual world of people at that time by appreciating paintings.

The paintings you don’t like are mainly religious subjects (unless they are particularly beautiful), and there are also single portraits of characters (unless they are particularly awesome). The favorite paintings mainly depict the characters of scenery, people and nature, people’s lives, etc.

Well, let’s talk about some works that An Qingju and An Chuyu particularly liked and appreciated, and listed them here as souvenirs.

There are also favorites in the sculptures. For example, this one is called Ernest Messonier (the Chinese translation should be Messonier). This sculpture is called "The Traveler", a sculpture of wax, cloth and leather, depicting the scene of Napoleon's expedition to Russia. This small sculpture fully interprets the fierce cold wind at that time and the feeling of defeat during the expedition.

If you don’t like to watch sculptures, Luo Dan always likes to watch sculptures. This "Gate of Hell" is naturally famous and worth seeing. This work swept two blind spots for An Qingju and An Chuyu. One is how to make a bronze sculpture; the other is the relationship between "Gate of Hell" and Luo Dan’s "thinker".

Let’s talk about how to make a copper sculpture? It turns out that the original manuscript is first carved with gypsum or clay, and then turned into molds for pouring. This step seems to be called making. Larger sculptures need to be cut into pieces and made into molds separately. Then, pour (that is, liquid metal), cooled. Finally, splicing them together and polished.

Rodin's "Gate of Hell" is based on "Divine Comedy". At the beginning, this work was intended to decorate the museum, but later it was somehow made a waste. So this sculpture became a hotbed for many of Rodin's later masterpieces. This gate of Hell depicts the complex and constantly struggling human nature and emotions of humanity, including 186 works.

Many small components were magnified by Rodin (which was also one of the early design steps of casting bronze sculptures. First make small models and then enlarge them) became immortal masterpieces, such as the "thinker" at the top of the door frame - its first cast bronze statue was in the Pantheon. There were also "kiss" and "Eve", which were all on this door.

Of course, more bronze sculptures of Rodin can be seen in Rodin Art Gallery and even everywhere in Paris.

There are many works of Ingre in the Louvre, which are considered to be a model of neoclassicalism. However, this work was written in 1856, so it came to the Olympics.

What impressed me most were the back of the girl he painted (called "Bath Girl"). One person took a bath, and a group of people took a bath. This "Foot" is different from the eldest sister who took a bath. Although she didn't wear anything, she did not look lewd at all, but was very pure.

The real original painting is 1.6 meters high, and it looks like the girl in the picture is life-sized. Her skin is extremely delicate, but it is really not so beautiful.

When An Qingju didn't know anything about art, she saw the poster of this painting on a street stall. She felt it was very beautiful in her heart. This painting is also very famous in China. Many messy art studios like to hang the printed oil paintings of "Fun" to show their excellent "art appreciation".

The author of this painting, An Qingju and An Chuyu, are not familiar with Henry Lenio, a romantic painter who died young. However, this painting is in a neoclassical style, called "The Execution of King Granadamol without Judgment", written in 1870. The name is also very long.

However, the painting is as high as 3 meters, and it is created from a perspective of looking up. The picture is particularly spectacular and bloody. The picture describes the cruelty of the Muslim kings who occupied Spain and Portugal for 781 years. The painter has indeed achieved his goal. The coldness and ruthlessness of the moment when he lifts his hands and falls is fully depicted. Standing in front of the painting, it seems that you can smell the smell of blood.

Miller's works have several copies in the Olympics, and I have seen them both the most famous "Even Prayer" and "The Glitter". This is considered a realistic theme. Tell me about my feelings. I personally prefer to watch "The Glitter". The picture is larger, the width is 1.1 meters, the colors are brighter, and the scene of rural life is overwhelming.

The three people who pick up the gazing are patient, humble, loyal, and have no facial expressions. They do not want to shout something like other realistic paintings. They rely on physical movements to express their lives. This "Gazinger" has a religious theme, and there are many scenes of farmers working in the fields in the Bible.

In the past, painters rarely painted, and Miller used realism to echo religious themes. I also saw in the Louvre that Pousssen had a group of paintings of four seasons, which also had a scene similar to gleaming. However, in Miller's works, "Workers in the Fields" were the real owner of the picture, which was very special in that era.

Courbet, he represents realism. His famous work "The Studio" is in the Orsay Museum. The picture is very large, more than 3 meters wide. The content of the picture is strange. Courbet sat in the middle and painted a landscape painting. On the left side of the picture are a bunch of painters, posing in different postures, but these models are not in the painter's paintings.

On the right side of the picture is a group of friends of the painter, and there may be some who come to order paintings and enjoy the creative process. A naked woman stood beside the painter, with the brightest light and no one was standing there. She didn't care. She was obviously a model of the painter, but she sincerely admired the painter (it was probably both the paintings and everyone else). There was also a child standing beside her, who admired the painter's paintings.

Does this painting depict the life of a painter, the life of a person, or a certain life? It is actually a realistic subject and looks quite amazing.

Well, it’s time to impressionism. Manet said. “An Chuyu only paints what An Chuyu only sees, not what others like; An Chuyu only paints what she is real, not imagines it out of thin air.” This is actually “impressionism”. An Qingju thinks that “impression” is probably a very subjective thing, and Manet’s impression becomes like this.

In Manet's "Venus" is this prostitute and girl ("Olympia"), and in Manet's "pastoral concert" is the author's family's spring outing ("Lunch on the Meadow"). It was originally three portraits, but Manet combined into one, and three people who looked like apart were poked in front of the balcony.

To An Chuhui, Henry Fontaine Latour is almost a journalist painter who is not allowed to smoke, that is, a painter. Anyway, I don’t know what this person’s reputation is, but he obviously has received professional art training. I heard that he is still a transitional figure from romanticism to impressionism.

His paintings were left in the Osceh. An Chuyu thought that the big reason was that his reporter-like eyes painted the collective activities of the Impressionist masters at that time into paintings. This was also very good, at least I knew what the painter looked like, and there were also "activity scenes", which was equivalent to photography.

Both paintings are very large, so they are very realistic, which shows the painter's skill. The one on the left "Salute to Delacroix" is 2.5 meters wide, and the one on the right is even more famous "Badinon Studio" is 2.7 meters wide.

The one with a white shirt on the left is Fontaine Latour, and the one who is standing with flowers next to him and the one who is painting on the right is Manet. The one with a hat standing in the frame in the right is Renoir, and the one with a little blurry on the right is Claude Monet.
