Chapter 65 The master of running away

Not interested or not, it’s just a dream, and I definitely want to understand some mysteries in the history of Western art.

What's more, the "Mona Lisa" painted by Leonardo da Vinci has special meaning to her, and it can be regarded as the origin of dreams.

If she had known that she would be able to chat face to face with Leonardo da Vinci, Meng Xinzhi would have prepared a detailed interview outline in advance.

Even if she was not prepared, she already had a rough outline in mind.

The problem is that the entry point of today’s dream is a bit strange.

According to the normal dreaming trajectory, she should have visited Florence, seen the life trajectory of Leonardo da Vinci, and understood the life of Leonardo da Vinci, then she would have many questions and start thinking about it day by day and dreaming about it at night.

Perhaps he was stimulated by Nie Guangyi's coming out as gay, so he had such a dream in advance.

At this point in time, there really aren’t many questions that Da Vinci’s Dream Heart can ask.

Leonardo da Vinci had just become famous, 27 years before he started painting the Mona Lisa.

There are also very few historical data.

After searching all over, the only answer is that Leonardo da Vinci was an illegitimate child, something that has nothing to do with artistic achievements.

When Leonardo da Vinci was twenty-four years old, his teacher Verrocchio could not wait to use his painting career to lift him to the top of the Florentine painting world.

From then on, those who wanted to paint with Leonardo da Vinci must have crossed the threshold.

According to normal logic, Leonardo da Vinci should have many handed down paintings.

The reality is quite different.

Leonardo da Vinci's life span was sixty-seven years old, and the total number of handed down paintings (including controversial ones) does not exceed fifteen.

This is definitely an extremely "poor" number.

You know, there is no such thing as a large number of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings being destroyed.

What causes the scarcity of paintings?

The answer is Leonardo da Vinci himself.

In addition to being one of the many famous "every family, every family," Leonardo da Vinci is also the most famous draft master in the history of Western art.

As mentioned before, the time in the dream was 1476, 27 years before Leonardo da Vinci started painting the "Mona Lisa".

If calculated based on the completion time, this time span will still be 41 years.

That's right, it took Leonardo da Vinci a total of 14 years to complete the "Mona Lisa", which was as fast as an ant crawling.

But this is already a very lucky painting, because it is a "finished product".

Leonardo da Vinci is not short of fame. As a genius, he will definitely have the privilege of being picky.

Just like Nie Guangyi, he doesn't take on every case.

There was once a marquise who wanted Leonardo da Vinci to paint a portrait of her.

The name of this marquise is Isabella d'Este, a well-known figure in European history.

She is very, very powerful on her own, not because she is the Marquis's wife.

In order to express her sincerity, the Marchioness of Mantua chased her from Mantua to Florence, only asking Leonardo da Vinci to paint her a complete portrait.

She succeeded, but it seems she didn't succeed...

The Louvre Museum now has a sketch of her portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci.

Leonardo da Vinci drew a half-length portrait sketch of Isabella d'Este, but throughout his life, he never colored the painting.

This is not an isolated case.

Three steps to find a complete portrait of Leonardo da Vinci:

First of all, you have to be rich, and he won’t even accept the ordinary price.

Secondly, you have to be patient. The more you push me, the less I will draw for you.

In the end, you have to live long enough...

Money, patience, and longevity are all indispensable.

If you don’t lack all of the above, will you be able to sit back and relax?

No!

You also need the blessing of luck...

If you really make him anxious, he will accept another painting with a higher price, pay you the deposit as liquidated damages, and run away directly...
