Chapter 954 Specter

Secular characters are not allowed to appear in paintings with religious themes. Paintings of the Last Supper can only show Jesus and the twelve disciples.

However, Paul Veronese added German soldiers and a parrot in "The Supper at the House of Levi", and also added many secular characters in "The Wedding at Cana", which is inconsistent with the conventions of religious paintings.

Regular, not to mention that the buildings in the painting include Venetian "contemporary architecture", aristocratic merchants and musicians. The architectural style of the first century is not like this.

But the grand scene of the wedding banquet painted by Veronese is very cheerful. His paintings are also representatives of the Venetian School. There are many paintings of a similar style in the works of the Academy Gallery.

At this time, the painters had left the "cave" and began to paint the colorful world.

The paintings painted by Raphael reminded Pomona of searching for Wally, the kid in the red and white striped shirt who often hides in the dazzling pictures.

Raphael painted himself in the Academy of Athens, and his head was exposed. People with poor eyesight could not find him at all. From him on, painters hid their portraits in paintings, and Veronese also hid his portraits.

In "The Wedding of Cana".

The vast majority of brides will not cry at their weddings. Weddings require a cheerful atmosphere and brilliant colors. Veronese's paintings set the tone for Baroque art in the seventeenth century.

Dancing was not allowed in the church, but Venetians had to dance, which eventually caused a falling out between the Pope and the Doge of Venice.

There is an Italian proverb: Necessity is the beginning of creation.

In Europe, where asceticism prevailed, seeking pleasure was regarded as moral corruption. At this time, in order to satisfy "needs", various human behaviors were "created", such as caviar during fasting, and food dressed in myths.

Various sculptures and portraits.

In modern times, everyone knows that smoking is harmful to health. A strange thing happened at the 1969 U.S. Congressional hearing on tobacco control. Tobacco company representatives changed from their usual attitude of silence and refusal to cooperate.

They spoke enthusiastically and even suggested that Congress legislate to prohibit broadcasters and television stations from broadcasting advertisements for their products.

This is not because their conscience has discovered that company managers suddenly care about the health of Americans, but because they have changed their advertising methods and placed them in movies, magazines, sports sponsorships, and the like.

The "fairness principle" emphasizes the importance of an opposing viewpoint in a free society and requires television stations to broadcast some controversial issues. Tobacco companies broadcast TV advertisements, and corresponding anti-tobacco forces have free advertisements, such as some debunking videos broadcast by the American Cancer Society.

Or ads that take a dig at tobacco companies.

Tobacco companies want people to think smoking is cool and attractive, and a man in a suit and tie is sitting on the sofa, lighting a cigarette and deep in thought about a certain issue.

Anti-tobacco organizations portray that person as coughing, wheezing, and weak.

Tobacco companies have canceled advertising, and so have anti-tobacco companies' free advertising. If you want people to reduce their resistance to a certain message, the best way is to reduce the spread of counterarguments. After the ban was implemented, tobacco sales did not fall but increased.

, and they also saved 30% of advertising fees.

The anti-sugar organization that Yuki Nakamura belongs to has learned a lesson from the anti-tobacco forces. It cannot deal with those cunning people head-on. The best way is to persuade the state to legislate.

However, sugar companies have dedicated teams of lawyers, and anti-sugar organizations have a slim chance of winning.

If a person is hungry, everything he eats will taste delicious. Hungry is the best food. The sweetness brought by sugar can improve the taste of food. Sugar is not necessary as a food additive. It is just a kind of food in life.

embellishment.

"How about writing it like this? If you want to be like Tom Ford and stay away from sugar that makes you fat." Nakamura Yuki said whimsically about the advertising slogan he designed.

"Who is Tom Ford?"

"You don't know Tom Ford?"

"Then do you know who Nick Flamel is?" Pomona asked.

"Sounds familiar."

"Same here. Is he related to Ford?"

Nakamura Yuki cast a look of disdain at "Linda Smith".

"Tom Ford, the sexiest man in the world, the creative director of Gucci, you don't know him?"

"Ding", the bell in Pomona's head rang.

She asked coyly and nonchalantly, "Tell me about him."

"You know Gucci almost went bankrupt, and the relationship within the family was even worse. He single-handedly saved Gucci, which was in dire straits at the time." Yuki Nakamura said with excitement, "He used to be a model in New York, and he still maintains a supermodel figure at the age of 44.

"

"Oh." Pomona's interest suddenly disappeared.

He is 44 years old this year, that is, born in 1961, one year younger than Severus. His figure looks good now, although he gained a little weight in the past few years.

"Why is your reaction so cold?" Nakamura Yuki said a little unhappy.

"Do you want me to scream like the Japanese high school girls when they see Beckham?" Pomona said coldly.

Whether it's Quidditch or football, as long as the players are handsome, there will be a large group of girls watching, even if they don't understand the rules at all.

When Victor showed up at Hogwarts, a large group of silly girls chased him. At 49, he was already past the age to chase stars.

"Last year he left Gucci. I heard that he founded a brand named after himself, mainly selling men's clothing series." Nakamura Yuki also lost the excitement just now and calmed down again, "What a pity.

"

"Do you want to buy women's clothing designed by him?"

The emotional entanglement between the old fool and the old madman lasted for more than a hundred years, from boyhood to gray hair, to death. Albus did not tell his secret, but Severus found the secret letters.

Although those letters were supposed to be inherited by her.

There are many secrets buried in Badger Yard, and women are better at hiding secrets. He really took that secret to his grave.

Pomona thought of Yuki Nakamura's mother, Dr. Nakamura, who used in vitro fertilization technology to give birth to this mixed-race daughter.

Only then did Pomona understand Albus's intention to disagree with the wizard's introduction of test-tube babies in the Wizengamot. This was not just to prevent the birth of children who should not have been born and affect the prophecy.

When it comes to the problem of low birth rate, wizards are much more serious than Muggles, but there are some "needs" that should not be created.

Mankind has already tasted the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and must not taste the forbidden fruit from the tree of life again.

The price of angering God is unbearable, but these warnings mean nothing to some people. The school motto of Hogwarts, leave the dragon alone, those Muggle children are encouraging Salazar Slytherin.

Awakening the dragon in the dungeon, do they really think that dragons are not scary?

Maybe they thought that the dragon had been tamed and was as obedient as a dog, and that Slytherin could control it, so they dared to act so boldly.
