The box contained a sculpture, still a bronze sculpture.
This sculpture depicts an innocent and lively child playing with a white goose. The naughty naked child hugs the goose tightly with a smile on his face, looking like a victorious general, while the teased goose kicks its legs and gasps with its mouth open, looking helpless in front of the child.
"Is this the 'Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose'?" Yang Jing felt himself getting excited again.
There are ten most recognized sculptures in the world. "David", "Discus Thrower", "Venus de Milo", "Sphinx", etc. are all recognized as the ten most recognized sculptures in the world.
However, there are still a large number of people who do not agree with the statement of the top ten sculptures. The reason they do not agree is not that these ten sculptures are not precious, but that they believe that there are some other sculptures that should be among the top ten sculptures in the world.
For example, there is the Statue of Liberty standing at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York, and the ancient Greek statue of Apollo. Of course, the Child with a Goose, created in the third century BC, is also considered by many to be one of the top ten sculptures in the world.
"Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose", also known as "Boy Holding a Goose", is a work created by Boedos, a famous sculptor from Chalcedon in ancient Greece, in the third century BC.
Boeddos was good at sculptures of custom themes and became a famous artist who specialized in carving children's images at that time. Boeddos lived in the 3rd century BC, which was the era of the development of Hellenistic custom sculptures, which touched almost all aspects of life, from the extraordinary divinity to the expression of the most common human nature. He attached great importance to the realistic creation of human images and paid attention to the inner spiritual expression of people.
His masterpiece "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose" is his masterpiece. This work has a clever structure and lifelike image. It has enjoyed a high reputation in ancient times and is very popular. It makes people think of the vitality of the buds blooming in the innocent and lively image of the child. It can be called a masterpiece in the history of Western art.
Unfortunately, the original sculpture was lost long ago, and the marble "Child Holding a Goose" currently in the Museum of Ancient Sculpture in Munich is a replica.
But what about this bronze sculpture? Is it really the original work of Boedus?
With the lessons learned from the previous two bronze sculptures, Yang Jing was almost completely certain that this bronze sculpture was the original "Statue of a Child Holding a Goose".
Sure enough, after using the identification skill, the Holy Ring gave Yang Jing a very satisfactory answer.
This sculpture, covered with green copper rust, is the original work of "Child with a Goose" created by Boedus in the third century BC.
It was just opening three boxes, but the results were surprisingly good.
The works of Michelangelo, Myron and Boethius, three famous masters in the history of Western sculpture, appeared before him so openly.
You know, except for the David, it is impossible for anyone in the world to see the original works of the Discus Thrower and Child with a Goose. But these two long-lost sculptures were secretly collected by Nicholas II, and he got a bargain in the end!
Yang Jing dared to bet that once the news of these three statues was leaked, artists and sculpture enthusiasts all over the world would go crazy!
Have you seen the bronze sculpture of David? No, I guess! Do you want to see it? If you want to see it, come to Tianqu City in China!
Have you seen the original work of "Discus Thrower"? No, I guess not! Do you want to see it? If you want to see it, come to Tianqu City in China!
Have you seen the original work of "Portrait of a Child Holding a Goose"? No, I guess not! Do you want to see it? If you want to see it, come to Tianqu City in China!
Yang Jing could imagine what kind of sensation it would cause once his own museum opened and these three sculptures appeared in the museum at the same time.
With these three sculptures, our museum will never have to worry about no one visiting!
“It’s just that it seems that these three statues alone are not enough.” Yang Jing suddenly felt greedy again.
"So, what treasures will be in these boxes?" Yang Jing looked at the boxes again, like a weasel seeing an old hen.
