"Find the Century, oh, a newspaper with a long history published in Tioleon. I didn't expect that today, we can still revisit the unique literary narrative of that era."
Fan Ning looked astonished.
"Master Fanning actually pays attention to us." The composer named Solomon Hershey had a smile on his face at this time.
"I came back late. I only heard the news ten days ago that it was revitalized by Dr. Diben Adim of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts." Fan Ning said.
"That's right down there." At this moment, a gentleman wearing a black wide felt hat and a thick beard spoke next to him.
"So you are Dr. Adim." Fan Ning said "Oh" and raised his glass, "I know you are a professor at the Oil Painting Department of Theoline Royal Academy of Fine Arts, but we have never met before."
"I'm honored that Master Fan Ning has heard of me. In fact, the 'end of the century' is not a literary narrative in the complete sense. Industrial technology, naturalism and realism are still booming at the moment, and we still feel depressed, pessimistic and strongly depressed.
."
Walter added on the side: "Dr. Adim's aesthetic comments and expressionist paintings have a certain influence among the young people in the current empire. Of course, Mr. Hershe's "Winter Fables" piano music collection currently also has a considerable amount of influence.
Lots of students and players.”
He pointed to the third and fourth people:
"Mr. Creed Hesso, a composer and historian who came out of the Pontua Seminary and changed his style, a special music critic of the emerging publication "Separation" in the Western Continent, and the "San Pelto Secession" group
An activist, his avant-garde chamber music works "On the Substratum", "The Ambiguity of Dreams" and "Antique Exhibition" have many fans in San Pelto. In fact, five or six years ago, I left San Pelto for the Southern Continent.
While living there, Mr. Hesso's traditional romantic works had a stable group of supporters."
The composer named Hesso had a pair of deep but bloodshot eyes, and a few strands of hair fell irregularly on his forehead, adding a bit of mystery and fatigue. He responded to everyone as thinly as a mosquito.
"Robert Fluder, a former Southern Continental genre painter, has contributed many articles to "Music of the South" and "Kelsum Review" in recent years. However, Mr. Fluder denied that he was an 'Expressionist' and instead called himself
As a 'Fauvist' artist, his "Orchid Transfiguration" series of oil paintings were a great success at several important exhibitions in the northern part of the Empire."
The painter surnamed Frudd has a relatively short and chubby figure. He responded to the gazes of Fan Ning and Walter with more attentive language, but his frequent unconscious little movements destroyed his overall etiquette.
"Thank you, Director Walter. You don't have to be so polite. You achieved the 'Song of Awakening' and was promoted first. You are my senior. What's more, you are also the direct disciple of the 'King of Love Songs' Scheler."
Fludd was talking to himself frequently when others were speaking, and Fan Ning found that his movements of raising a glass and eating always contained a subtle tremor. When he sat upright, he liked to fumble for his pocket watch unconsciously, as if
There was some kind of protoplasmic anxiety and restlessness in his heart. Just now, one sleeve of his dress was stained with wine stains.
So this discussion group is supporting two avant-garde composers and two avant-garde painters?
Well, Dr. Adim of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, an expressionist painter, may have been promoted by the Bologna School; Hesso, the composer of the "San Porto Secession", may have been driven by the Church of the Holy Sun.
As for the "fin de siècle" composer Hershey and the Southern Continent's "fauvist" Frudd? I'm not sure about this. It doesn't seem to be from some former academic or church school. It's probably the result of the Special Patrol Office's own campaign.
of
Fan Ning mentally analyzed their modern genres and the driving force behind them. As for some of the "little characteristics" of these people, it is not uncommon from an artist's perspective.
After he and Walter chatted with these people for a while, a waiter came forward and gently reminded them that the investiture ceremony and dinner were about to begin, and they could go to the main hall to see them.
"I'll ask someone later to sort out the music scores or picture albums of these people's works and send them over to me." Fan Ning said calmly as he walked.
After Walter agreed, Fan Ning added: "There are also artists from last year, the year before last, and artists who have made great achievements in modern style in the past few years."
"All of them?"
"Everyone above 'Blade Bearer' will help me sort out the works."
The palace bell rang, and Fan Ning put on an investiture hat made of black velvet and decorated with white feathers.
According to tradition, Fan Ning's honorary dress today also requires a cape. The maid wore an emerald green exterior and white taffeta satin cape. It was embellished with green and gold tassels and had a sunburst on the left shoulder.
with stars.
Afterwards, Fan Ning was buttoned with a gold thistle pattern on his collar, and an image of "St. James the Light" was placed on his collar. The image was painted with gold paint and wore a white robe.
, a purple shawl with a cross relief across the front, and light emitting from behind.
Fan Ning and a group of guests stepped onto the long and wide red carpet and entered the cold spring palace hall.
The light shines through the finely carved window lattice and onto the magnificent marble floor, reflecting vivid light and shadow. Knights and nobles stand in long rows on both sides, their armors and dresses shining.
"Master Fan Ning."
"Master Fan Ning, it's an honor to meet you."
Fan Ning glanced at them and recognized many nobles serving as members of the House of Lords and members of the Bologna School.
He nodded slightly in response.
As a music master, Fan Ning is undoubtedly the most watched protagonist today. Even though all five of them have been awarded the Order of the Thistle, and even though avant-garde art and romantic art actually compete for market share and volume at the moment, his
"Ge" is also separated from the other four by an essential gap.
Even Walter, who was accompanying him, had better qualifications than this group of new "Boethius" nominated artists.
When she reached the last section of the red carpet, Fan Ning raised her head and looked ahead.
The majestic columns of the palace are inlaid with pure gold vine leaves. The central throne area is made of pure gold. A satin drapery embroidered with the royal emblem hangs above and decorated with gorgeous tassels.
There were three people sitting at the top of the steps, and Fan Ning knew them all.
The old man in the middle wearing a solemn coronation dress, a golden crown, and holding a scepter is King Louis.
The two people on the left and right are Ms. Frances, mentor of the Bologna School and Speaker of the Imperial House of Lords, and Bishop Mir, the current Cardinal of the Holy Sun Church of the Northern Continent, who had just met Fan Ning.
Well, Lord MacAdam is not here today?
In fact, today's occasion is more about "honor" and "etiquette".
Today is the industrial age rather than the feudal dynasty, and the core power of the empire has long been transferred to the plutocratic groups in the House of Commons.
Even though they were standing at the back of the Cold Spring Palace today.
"Carolne Van Ning has an audience with His Majesty the King."
Behind and to the side, the media's camera flashes kept ringing. With all kinds of thoughts in mind, after dragging his cloak up the steps, Fan Ning bowed with impeccable etiquette.
"Master Fan Ning, you are welcome. You are a meritorious artist who will shine in the annals of history! You are the glory of all the people of Tioleian!"
As early as Fan Ning stepped onto the first step, King Louis stood up with the two people on his left and right.
He shook hands with Fan Ning and pulled her to the throne. Under the spotlight, they were positioned to the left and right of each other, one step ahead of the Cardinal and the Speaker of the House of Lords.
After delivering a speech, playing music, firing cannons, and presenting a sword, Bishop Mill stepped forward and gave the gospel to Fan Ning in accordance with church tradition.
Each holder of the Order of the Thistle will then have a dedicated place in the Cathedral of San Janingo, which will be decorated with the coat of arms of the recipient, as well as their helmet, crest and cloak.
"May you be bathed in light, Master Fan Ning."
Bishop Mill took out a copy of the Gospel of Lavoisier.
This is undoubtedly a sacred and solemn occasion.
It was just that Fan Ning accidentally inserted the sword given by King Louis into the scabbard.
