He entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1791, and received a scholarship in 1796 to study in Rome the following year. During this period, he was influenced by Greek and Roman art and Winckelmann's theory of classical beauty, and was inspired by the sculptor Canova in art, gradually forming a quiet, solemn, rigorous and delicate sculpture style.
Many of his early works were based on Greek and Roman mythology and historical events, including round sculptures such as "Ebe" (1806), "Cupid and Psyche" (1807), "Venus with the Golden Apple" and "Shepherd Boy" (1817). In 1812, he was invited by the Roman emperor to create a monumental relief frieze "Alexander Conquering Babylon".
The relief belt is 35 meters long and features numerous figures and grand scenes, symbolizing Napoleon's victory. His reliefs are known for their grand scenes and vivid figures. His most accomplished works in his later years are portraits and monumental sculptures. He sculpted 175 busts and equestrian statues, among which the famous one is the "Copernicus Statue" (1823) in Warsaw.
The Portrait of Schiller in Stuttgart (1835), the Portrait of Byron in Trinity College, Cambridge (1829), etc. Thorvaldsen returned to Copenhagen in 1838. The Danish government awarded him the title of professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and built the Thorvaldsen Museum for him. The museum was officially completed and opened in 1848.
Hundreds of his paintings and sculptures are displayed in the museum. The Impressionist exhibition hall begins... Picasso's paintings. I won't talk about the master. You ask Yunluo to analyze how good this painting is. Yunluo is not that good. I can only tell you that Picasso is the founder of modern art and the main representative of Western modernist painting.
The Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, created by him in 1907, is the first work that is considered to have Cubist tendencies and is a famous masterpiece with milestone significance. It not only marks a major turning point in Picasso's personal artistic journey, but also a revolutionary breakthrough in the history of modern Western art, triggering the birth of the Cubist movement.
This painting led to unprecedented development of French Cubist painting in the next decade or so, and even affected other fields such as ballet, stage design, literature, music, etc. "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" created a new situation for French Cubism, and Picasso and Georges Braque, who will be discussed below, also became the leading figures of this school of painting.
Next to Picasso is this painting by Georges Braque. What is it about? I am not very knowledgeable, but I know that he is a French painter. His early works belong to Impressionism and Fauvism. The master continued to collaborate with Picasso until 1914, when they jointly launched the Cubism painting movement.
He was the first to incorporate letters into his paintings. He mixed paint with sand and used collage. His later works included still lifes and landscapes, and his style became more realistic. His influence was actually no less than that of Picasso. In addition, the name "Cubism" came from his works.
The works of Braque and Picasso during the period of analytical cubism are so similar in style that it is difficult to tell which one was the artist when they are placed side by side. This is an extremely rare phenomenon in the history of art. Not only do the two have the same painting method, but they also choose very similar subjects. They both prefer to paint musical instruments. Braque's decomposition of objects in his paintings is more extreme than Picasso's.
He mostly conducts this kind of experiment of analyzing shapes in still life paintings. This may be because still life paintings are less restrictive for him. The restaurant in the art museum is so romantic, it's great. Souvenir shop. Unfortunately, the boat ride was top-heavy, and I was almost exhausted after visiting here. I hurriedly withdrew and rushed to the Nobel Peace Center.
Walking in Oslo. Beautiful white houses. This cafe is located next to the city park. It's bleak. Behind it is the Oslo National Theater. It's very different from the opera house. Interesting duck puppet bar. City Center Park. On the way to the Nobel Peace Center, I came across the Oslo City Hall, haha.
This is the front view. Many of the pictures on the Internet are taken from the back in the strait. Beautiful buildings on both sides of the city hall. This building is very beautiful. The flags on it are fluttering in the wind. This place is a place where wind and energy gather. The building is also built with Feng Shui in mind. All sects have the same origin. The city hall is the political center of this ocean city.
It was completed after continuous decoration and polishing by Norwegian artists from 1900 to 1950. It fully displays the history, culture, work and life of Norway. This brick-red building was built in 1950 to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the founding of Oslo. It is in the shape of a concave letter and surrounded by a large number of sculptures.
It shows all aspects of Norwegian life. The building next to the city hall. The Nordic architecture is plain and simple, with very smooth lines. The interior is extremely bright, open and comfortable, creating an artificial environment in the ice and snow. Seabirds in the fjord, A Song of Ice and Fire - A Feast for Crows After walking all day, we finally arrived at the last attraction of this station at 4 pm.
The Nobel Peace Center, Nobelsfredssenter, was built in 2001 and was renovated from an old train station near Oslo City Hall. It was built with the goal of promoting world peace and raising people's awareness of war and conflict resolution. It displays information about past Peace Prize winners and Alfred Nobel.
The center also has many uses, such as lectures and presentations. There are also cafes and shops. It was surprising that there was a fee for visiting. It was about 100 nok, and the exhibition area seemed very small. The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is held here every year. Of course, many people can't come, or they don't get a good result after receiving it.
The ticket office, behind them should be the two candidates this year. The previous winners, some of them are taking advantage of the situation. Very beautiful refrigerator magnets. The price is also beautiful, 49nok. The crafts made of various beverage cans are great~ The muddy road, I remember there was horse manure. Really sweat~ Norwegian sculptures are very famous.
I came across a small shop not far away. There were funny reindeers in it, which looked like gorillas. This shop is good, the products are good and tax refunds are available. The key is that tax refunds in Norway are not very convenient. I like Nordic design. It exudes a sense of beauty. Simple but not simple, beautiful. The advertising slogan is used here, haha. The culture of China is really spread all over the world.
It's a very exciting place. Strolled towards the hotel and returned to Oslo Cathedral. Walking in a foreign country. I hurried to the hotel. I was exhausted, but I couldn't miss the beautiful scenery along the way. I found someone running a red light. The shopping malls are great. Oslo is very prosperous. In fact, the population is only 600,000, which is about the same as Copenhagen, a community in China.
Design shop, the things are very beautiful. This is a board game bar found on the roadside. Yunluo really admires the professionalism of the people who play it. Yunluo and An Chuyu are so envious, especially the professors board games are all three-dimensional. And you can color them yourself, no two are the same. Brother, how serious you are, haha. Are you ready to start playing games?
Look at their models and terrain. The polar night is too long and time needs to be spent. This shop is so funny. The paintings are very alternative and the penguins are funny. The sun has set and there is a chill. Walking to the hotel, offline map navigation. Why do I like the feeling of this coffee shop so much? The Roman column gallery.
This photo is so beautiful, I like it. Onenightinoslo is said to be very similar to a shopping mall in a big city in China, haha. We have arrived at Oslo Central Station, where we will depart tomorrow. We went in to ask about tomorrow's ticket, and there was a special service staff to guide us. We learned that there was a train to the airport at 8:30 in the morning.
There is a supermarket and 711 in the train station, which is very good. Finally, we can go back to the train station style hotel to rest. After falling down, mrlv&pros decided to go to the train station to look for food. Yunluo and mrc200 rested in the hotel, because they really couldn't walk. And they were not hungry after walking. It was only about half an hour, and the two heroes came back.
Bought delicious food for the pros' wife. After settling her down, Yunluo, An Chuyu and others finally set out. I made up my mind and left. Since we were only staying in Oslo for one day, I had to walk around more. I wanted to go to a bar to watch a show. But I gave up. Hahaha. I wandered around and found an unbeatable store. It sold anime peripherals. So cool.
Iron Man 3 is so realistic. Orc Grunts. These models are awesome. I really like them. But they are expensive. Starting at 3000 nok. Game of Thrones board game. Game of Thrones expansion pack. So many things to see. So exciting.
Stark, the model is very delicate. The height is actually the size of 2 books. Iron Man collection. There is also Batman's car ~ Hobbit's sword. When I left, I found that it was bought by a Nordic brother. I don't know what he went to do, late at night, uh. Gandalf's walking stick, etc., it's like a grocery store.
I was tired of visiting the model shop and went to look for food. I finally remembered that I was hungry. Haha. I accidentally found a beautiful house. It felt like a museum. There was a building like a coffee shop next to the house. Let's take a look at the menu. It was very expensive. It was a restaurant that won the Excellence Award in 2008. It mainly served seafood, Norwegian cuisine, and Scandinavian cuisine.
It tasted very good. When I walked in, I was hesitating whether to eat or not. The price was about 600nok per person. At this time, a Norwegian uncle came over and introduced it to Yunluo in fluent Norwegian and English. It can be seen that the uncle had just eaten a lot. When the family walked out, I understood and asked where you are from and that this is not a wrong choice.
Sweat~ Hesitant pros and mrlv wanted to eat Subway, Yunluo and Mr. C came in and ordered a cup of coffee each, it was romantic, but the voices were a bit loud, the doors of the rooms next to them were closed, and the waitress didn't provide much service. Red roses, all kinds of Mercedes-Benz taxis outside the window, and even a GL450, I don't know what it's like to drive this taxi.
However, it is said that the taxi models in European countries are chosen by the drivers themselves. They are on the road every day, so they should not be wronged. But why would a car worth 100,000 euros be used as a taxi? I still don't understand. Before leaving, take a souvenir. Stroll back to the hotel. It was a very tiring day. I brushed my teeth, took a shower, and went to bed.
I was exhausted after the trip, but the good thing was that I finally got over the jet lag after sleeping. I packed up and headed for the train station at 7:45 in the morning. Although I had already checked the 8:30 train, I still went to check it out in advance. The hardworking Nordic people, the PwC building opposite was brightly lit in the morning, but it seems that the Big Four are the same everywhere.
Photographed through a large glass, it seems that the windows in Northern Europe are difficult to open. I wonder if people think opening windows is useless or if it is to ensure safety in a country with a high incidence of depression. By the way, it is said that polar nights can easily cause depression, so everyone should get more sun. Busy Northern European people at the Central Railway Station at 7:50 in the morning.
The person in orange clothes in the distance is the consultant. You can communicate in English. There is also a ticket machine. You can pay with cash by inserting a card. After consulting with the elder sisters and brothers, Yunluo was told that the platform is No. 10, which is different from what they said yesterday. It's still early to go and take a look. This is the platform, similar to Beijing, and the lobby is very close to the waiting platform.
No need to worry about walking a long way like Beijing Station. The train schedule is divided by time axis, with specific routes, platform numbers, and passing stations written on it. Platform 10 is indeed also generally going to the airport. Maybe the elder sister yesterday thought that Yunluo and An Chuyu's flight was at 10:30, so she recommended another one.
Trains in Northern Europe are relatively spacious. Try to put your luggage on the luggage racks, but this train was very empty. There was no ticket check from beginning to end. The photos taken on the speeding train were a bit blurry. The sun rose. By the way, the phenomenon of long nights and short days in February is not very obvious here. Taking the train allows you to enjoy the suburbs of Oslo.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Haha. There is snow in the middle of the railroad tracks. This is a magical country with ice and snow and freezing cold. The train next to it passed by. Norwegian National Railway. About 40 minutes later, the NSB arrived at the station. From the reflection, I can see that several masters can't wait to drag their luggage forward. This is actually the rear of the train. Norway has a railway network throughout the country, with a total length of 3,000 kilometers.
A total of 775 tunnels and 3,000 bridges were passed. Many routes offer a variety of countryside scenery. Including the scenery of the suburbs, mountains, lakes and fjords. I highly recommend Norway in Miniature. I will introduce it to you when I have the chance. I will dig a hole in the practical guide first. I originally planned to go from Oslo to Bergen and then to Narvik.
Because some teammates were pressed for time and the Three Holy Stones and Pulpit Rock were dangerous in winter, we basically gave up on the Four Great Fjords, but Yunluo did prepare a lot at that time. The route was really accurate to the minute, and all kinds of trains, cars and ships were overturned. The platform covered with pebbles was really non-slip, and there was ice outside.
See the woven bag on the left luggage? The magic weapon for this time is in the work bag, haha. Platform. The air here is really fresh and cleans the lungs. Oslo Airport, lufthavn. It feels a bit similar to German, so I won’t teach you how to speak here. I can study it later. Children’s activity area at the airport.
I want to take a photo of Starbucks wherever I go. I feel familiar with this thing, is it the same as McDonald's and Burger King? But I have hardly seen KFC in Europe. Oslo Airport is not small, but it is only about the same size as Copenhagen and Stockholm. It's just a feeling, and I found out later that there is a lot of walking.
There were also a lot of people at the airport. I went upstairs to exchange my boarding pass and check in my luggage. I went downstairs to find something to eat. At a breakfast bar on the first floor, everyone had a roll. The waiter specially asked Mrs. S to heat up the food for her. She ate while waiting for the flight. The broadcasting voice was very hoarse. After eating a breakfast worth several hundred yuan, I packed my carry-on luggage and started the security check.
The security check here is quite strict, and you have to take off your shoes. But Yunluo always wears Adidas, so it doesn't bother anyone. Haha. Compared to the convenience of the train station, the airport is very convenient. It feels like it took 15 minutes to walk from the security checkpoint to the boarding gate. It's just like Xizhimen Metro Station. This is a photo taken when I was halfway there. There is not even an automatic elevator.
But it says how long it will take to get there, maybe to encourage Yunluo and Anchu to meet. In the waiting area, I met a few Chinese people, but we didn't chat. Is there anyone with cooking utensils? The flight time from Oslo to Tromso is about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
PS: It has some outer space meaning. There are clouds all along the way. The sea water is a little green. It should be clean and shallow. There are ice crystals on the windows. It is not far from Tromsø Airport. We are about to land. We arrived at the Arctic Circle - Tromsø, a city and seaport in northern Norway. It is located on Kvaløy Island and a nearby small island in the Tromsø Strait in the Norwegian Sea.
With a population of about 60,000, it is a university town with an aurora observatory. It is one of the northernmost cities in Norway. Due to the passage of the North Atlantic Current, it does not freeze in winter. It is the center of the Norwegian Arctic fishing and sealing industry. It has factories for freezing, refrigeration and fish oil processing, as well as industries such as margarine and beer.
Seaplane base. There are geophysical observatory and satellite telemetry station. The polar day phenomenon occurs from May 1 to July 23 every year. Tromsø Airport is also very good. The luggage cart is loading luggage. This is the snow outside the house at the airport. It is really the Arctic Circle. The nickname of this place is the Gate of the Arctic.
In Tromsø, cars stop immediately whenever there are pedestrians (not just at traffic lights and crosswalks). The temperature is below 0°C for five months of the year, and it snows for nearly half of the year. This is also the city with the highest suicide rate and the most mentally ill people. Oh, tourists are here, of course, this is also a tourist destination.
After a long time of searching at the airport, I couldn't find anyone selling bus tickets. Later, I asked a Hertz or Sixty staff member, who said I could buy the ticket on the bus. OK. Finally, I chose to take a taxi, because I felt that the bus ticket would be about the same as the taxi. The preliminary itinerary for Tromso. Basically the same~ The photo taken on the passenger seat of the taxi, the sea is next to the snow.
It feels so flat, I feel like I can come here when the waves are big. I took a taxi from the airport to the hotel in the city center, about 5 kilometers away, and the fare was 160nok. The driver seemed to have just finished drinking and was talking to Yunluo about China. China is often mistaken for Thailand. Yunluo thinks Yunluo's pronunciation is quite standard. (To be continued...)
