2. Victory Statue

This is the original of a famous masterpiece left over from the Hellenistic period and is regarded as a rare treasure. The author has no way to prove it. Also known as "Samotrasnikai Statue". It is now preserved in the Louvre, the French national art treasure house, and is one of the three treasures of the town palace. The goddess of victory is the embodiment of victory and the daughter of pallas and Stix, the titans. Her Roman name is Victoria Victoria. Her image is a pair of wings, strong figure, as if falling from the sky, wearing clothes floating around. Wherever she goes, victory follows. She was also a follower of Zeus and Athena. Defeated to Olympus in the Titan War and helped it win. The statue was originally placed on a stone cliff on the coast of Samotras Island. Legend has it that it was built to commemorate King Dmitry's victory over Ptolemy's fleet in Egypt in 306 BC. It is also verified that it is a work in the 2nd century BC, and it is a monument erected by the people of Rhode Island to defeat the Syrian fleet in BC 190. This statue was found on Samotras Island in the northern Aegean Sea in 1863, also known as Samotras Nikai Statue. At first, it was just a fragment. After years of repair, it was able to stand up again, but it still lacked a head and an arm (1950 only found one arm). The author of the statue is difficult to verify, and the date of creation is still inconclusive. But most people think that it was written around 200 BC by Demetrious I, the ruler of Asia Minor, to commemorate his defeat of the fleet of Ptolemy Kingdom in the naval battle. It first stood on the cliff by the sea on the island of Samothrace, facing the vast sea. This statue was originally a pure white snowflake stone carving. Due to long-term immersion in the Aegean Sea, microorganisms proliferate and seawater erodes, the existing statues present a new historical vicissitudes. The overall dynamic structure of this statue is perfect and vivid, and its carving skills are superb. Statues have turned to secularization, dramatization and personification in form, which is characterized by conveying people's psychology and passion. The statue stands on the top of the cliff by the sea, facing the sea breeze, and the skirt blown by the sea breeze sticks to the body, showing the perfection of the female human body. The folds of the dress constitute a vivid and smooth sense of movement, showing a leap in life. Greek statues are full of life. Even if they are incomplete, they are still living things. People make up for the incompleteness in imagination and get a perfect aesthetic enjoyment. Although the goddess of victory is a common theme in Greek sculpture, this one is different. The idea of this statue is very novel. This base is designed as the bow of a warship. The goddess of victory seemed to descend from the sky, guiding the fleet forward through the wind and waves at the bow, which not only showed the background of the naval battle, but also conveyed the theme of victory. Although the head and arms of the goddess have been lost, they are still regarded as masterpieces of high artistic level by ancient Greek sculptors. No matter from which angle, the audience can see and feel the majestic posture of the goddess of victory spreading her wings. Her upper body leans forward slightly, her strong and graceful body and powerful and huge wings soar high, which fully embodies the winner's majestic posture and triumphant passion. The sea breeze seemed to blow from before her, and the thin clothes vaguely revealed the plump and elastic body of the goddess. The texture of the skirt and the carving of the folds are amazing. The composition of the work is also very successful. The backward skirt and unfolded wings form extremely smooth lines, and the wavy lines of legs and wings form obtuse triangles, which strengthens the forward trend. The artist showed great artistic skills and expressive force in his works, as if giving the cold stone life-like vitality, which made future generations express heartfelt sighs when facing this masterpiece combining high realism and romanticism.

3. Portrait of Mona Lisa

Carlo pedretti, a professor at the University of California, believes that the background behind Mona Lisa is the scenery near Brianaud Bridge in arezzo, central Italy. Pedretti's evidence is that Da Vinci was born in Da Vinci Town, about 100 km from arezzo, and once lived in arezzo. The original landscape in this area is almost the same as the background of Mona Lisa. So Leonardo da Vinci probably used the pastoral scenery in this area as the background of Mona Lisa. When pedretti's views were published at the International Symposium on Da Vinci's Painting, many experts in art history affirmed his research results.
