Chapter 164 'Travel in Hell'
Although Verocchio is not a nobleman, as a great artist who is close to politics and religion, he is undoubtedly a person from the upper class.
Therefore, Verocchio often goes to cocktail parties and dinners in the upper class.
Of course, sometimes his students can follow Verocchio to go to the upper class, gain more knowledge and open up ideas.
Anno has attended more than once with Verocchio, which may be because Verocchio needs to take Anno to find Anno's past.
The surname Orwis may be the old nobleman who was heard or seen at a certain cocktail party.
There were not many old nobles in Florence who survived until the 15th century, and they basically died in the disasters of the last century.
However, the identity of aristocrats is not what Annuo is most interested in. Artists with great fame and skills have a status of nobility in society, which is the characteristic of this era.
He is 1.8 meters tall and can be seen directly with the girl while sitting on a stool: "Miss has a unique understanding of art, which has given me a lot of inspiration..."
He pondered for a few minutes, and Harley didn't say anything, just looking at the somewhat weird artist.
"I don't know much about art..." The girl scratched her head, perhaps because she was a little embarrassed about her interference with Annuo's thoughts. "Well, just feel that just imitating alone will be a bit boring and ordinary?"
Annuo smashed his mouth: "It seems...it's really a bit?"
Landscape paintings are indeed refreshing, but there are too many, which makes them a little aesthetic fatigue and boring.
During this period, Annuo was still consolidating his foundation, using sketching and copying the works of Mr. Verocchio and several senior brothers as the main practice methods.
However, the girl's words caught him a little inspiration.
Blindly imitating him fell into a bottleneck.
So, what about abandoning ordinary sketching and copying?
Annuo suddenly burst into laughter and loudly.
Harley was shocked by the side.
What's wrong with this young artist? Why did he start like this after saying something he didn't know what he said? Could it be that he was a lunatic?
Annuo's laughter stopped, and he didn't care about Harley beside him. He just majesticly stained the brush with different paints and then created it on the canvas.
The river water was muddy, the trees were broken, and the sky was stained.
Finally, a strange and absurd work appeared on the canvas in front of Annuo.
A river made of green water flows through the flame-burning trees, and the sky is no longer blue, but is shrouded in dark purple.
The strange and huge fish swim in the water, splashing waves and falling on the lawn made of white grass.
A strange man with wings and a white robe walked by the river, facing the picture with his back to the picture.
This is a weird and harmonious work.
Anno, who completed this work that desecrated the current art form, wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled happily: "Miss Harley, what about my painting now?"
Harley came over with a scent of fragrance.
It's not the smell of perfume.
Burgundy hair almost wrapped around Harley.
She looked at Annuo's painting without comment, just smiled: "I don't know if this is art or not, I only know it's pretty good."
"Is that right?" Annuo was quite satisfied with this evaluation, "That would be fine."
He sat down again and perfected the details of the painting.
Harley did not continue to disturb Annuo, and then left after watching for a while, leaving quietly.
This painting has basically nothing to do with the scenery, with a strong fantasy color.
Anno named it "Traveling in Hell".
When Anno returned to Verocchio Studio with his drawing board easel and painting, the sun was almost set. Anno, who had eaten for a day, felt hungry and his chest was pressed against his back.
The senior brothers have already returned home and have to wait for a while to eat. Annuo is about to show the painting to Verocchio.
Verocchio's bronze sculpture is almost completed, and I'm probably thinking about how to carve Goliath's head in the office.
Annuo knocked on the door: "Teacher, are you inside?"
"Is it Lawrence? Please come in." Verocchio's voice was blurred because he was blocked by the door.
Annuo pushed the door open and walked in.
"Teacher, this is my work today." Annuo thought for a while, "Well, is it a bit special?"
"Oh? It's more special? Let's take a look." Verocchio became interested.
Lawrence is the most worry-free and surprising student among the few students he has taught.
So, he was not surprised that Lawrence had produced any works.
He took the painting handed over by Annuo and posted it on the drawing board, and his eyes lit up.
He first said, "Those guys in the church will probably like this painting."
Surprisingly, Anno thought that Verocchio would question this work, but he did not expect that it would receive a positive review.
Annuo ignored that apart from a few people who were extremely rigid, artists were originally a group of pioneers with strong acceptance skills.
"Fire trees, green water, white grass...a very impactful picture!"
"The walking Jesus is calm and calm...this is really good!"
Annuo explained: "The fire tree represents people's emotions and anger, the green water represents people's influence on the world, and the white grass represents ubiquitous troubles, with a large number and uncontrollable."
Verocchio hugged Anno and was a little excited: "Lawrence, do you know that this may be the moment when you become famous!"
Annuo was a little embarrassed: "In fact... teacher, if I hadn't received a woman's advice by the river, what I might have drawn would still be ordinary landscape paintings, which might be excellent, but boring."
"Women...that doesn't matter, Lawrence." Verocchio shook his head, "Lawrence, my student, promise me, can I take this painting to the church?"
"Of course, teacher." Annuo smiled pursed his lips, extremely quiet.
"Okay, it just so happened that my Virgin Mary and Son were also drawn tomorrow, and I took it there together." Verocchio smiled and patted Anno on the shoulder.
The Majesty and Son Picture was a new order he received not long ago. It happened to be completed today and was named "Majesty and Son in Berlin".
The exquisiteness of the painting is much higher than that of Anno's "Travel in Hell", but it will bring much less impact and innovation.
The Catholic Church is not as tough as a hundred years ago. Besides, the painting of Anno is obviously a praise of Jesus' greatness and fearlessness. Isn't it great to dare to walk in hell?
Although Anno only added Jesus because of zz correctness, he himself is not religious.
Currently, Florence is united in one, and the church and the king have a good relationship.
After eating something simply, Annuo fell asleep.
But the storm that this painting is about to cause in Florence is already gathering.
