This palace should only be in the sky: the eighth trip to Russia-the Winter Palace

On the afternoon of the seventh day in Russia, we visited the long-awaited Winter Palace.

Seen from a distance, the Winter Palace is like a jade building floating down from the blue sky, which falls to the world with the blue sky, broad, eternal, pure, quiet and melancholy; It is also like Penglai, a fairy mountain floating on the sea. The blue lake is dyed green by seawater, which is pure, fresh, calm, beautiful and quiet, giving people infinite reverie. The treasures in the Winter Palace are like huge bright stars embedded in the night sky and countless bright pearls scattered in the deep sea.

? The Winter Palace was originally the palace of the Russian czar, and became a part of the Tashi Museum in Elmy after the October Revolution. Tashi Museum in Elmy, the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in new york are called the four largest museums in the world.

The Tashi Museum in Elmy has five buildings and nearly 400 exhibition halls, and has a collection of about 3 million works of art from the world's ancient and modern cultures, including prehistoric culture, ancient Greek and Roman culture and art, oriental national culture, Egyptian art and Western European art history, including oil paintings, sculptures, prints, unearthed cultural relics, practical works of art, coins and commemorative medals.

? If you watch each episode for one minute and eight hours every day, a person will watch it every day from birth to 18 years old. If you watch each episode for 5 minutes, it will take you a lifetime to finish it.

172 1 year, Queen Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great, spent eight years building her own palace, which is both a royal palace and a royal museum. It's a pity that she didn't live in the Winter Palace, which made Queen Catherine II live cheaper. Queen Ye greatly expanded the collection of the Winter Palace, and in 1764, she bought 225 paintings by Rembrandt and Rubens from Gotskovski, a businessman in Berlin, and stored them in Targe, Elmy (which means "hidden palace" in French) of the Winter Palace, hence the name of the museum, and used it as its private museum.

There are three arches at the entrance to the Winter Palace, and the middle gate is not open to the monarch unless it is a major festival. The gate is exquisite wrought iron with complicated patterns. On the top stands a golden double-headed eagle, one on the left and the other on the right. The eagle's head is decorated with a crown, and its claws hold a scepter. The double-headed eagle is also the design of the Russian national emblem. The Russian double-headed eagle, which is neither west nor east, stares at the west and the east, and its two claws seem to cross the west and conquer the east; Ruling the world with a golden crown and a golden scepter.

We entered from the side door, first through a milky arched corridor with a huge malachite flower bed at the entrance. Malachite flower bed weighs 14 ton. It is said that the flower beds should be put away before the hall is built. Walking through a long corridor is like walking through the centuries-old history of Russia and coming to a statue of the queen wearing a crown at the end of the corridor. The Queen holds the hilt in her left hand, and her bent arm in her right hand is held high in vain, facing down to the left, overlooking the vast land of Russia, which is covered with blood and looks dignified. The former land has been reduced by one fifth, and the European gendarmerie and superpower have become second-rate powers. The queen seems to be inspiring her descendants: it is difficult to start a business, and it is even harder to stay in business.

1。 On both sides are the famous "Jordan stairs", formerly known as "Ambassador stairs". When foreign ambassadors meet the tsar, they all go upstairs from this ladder. Legend has it that Jesus was born in the Jordan River, and Peter the Great and Saint Paul, the disciple of Jesus, are the same Armani. Neva river in front of the Winter Palace symbolizes the Jordan River, and Peter the Great went down the stairs to be baptized like Jesus. Later, the "Ambassador Ladder" was renamed "Jordan Ladder". As if we were baptized by the Neva River, we walked piously up the stairs. In front of the Queen's sculpture, we paid attention to the Russian Empress Wu Zetian, Ye Jie and karina. She studied in thousands of books, loved art, was keen on collecting, was all-powerful and led Europe.

2。 The second floor leads directly to the luxury badge hall, with an area of over 1000 square meters. It was used as a place for the Tsar to entertain senior officials from various provinces and announce state decrees. The badges of all provinces are built on square bronze chandeliers. The four walls of the main hall are lined with golden pillars, with golden flowers in full bloom at the top, and four pillars have a circle of golden corridors. Above the corridor is a window-shaped mirror with several huge golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The design and architecture of the hall reflect the glory of the Russian empire, and the gold foil in the hall is actually only the afterglow of Russia's past.

3。 Out of the badge hall, came to the marshal hall. Russia is a tough fighting nation, and the Winter Palace dedicated this hall to show famous battles and generals in Russian history.

There are more than 300 portraits hanging on the wall. These figures are all meritorious military stars who participated in 18 12 Great Patriotic War and1813-14 Russian Expeditionary Force.

Suvorov, a great Russian military strategist, was awarded the rank of Grand Marshal by the Tsar, and was known as "the soul of the Russian army". He died in 1799. He commanded more than 90 battles in his life and won many victories. During the period of Empress Ye, he was an ever-victorious general and won all five medals in Russia. He was demoted twice in his life, and the cruel and unfair fact made the commander-in-chief disheartened and died young. Its tombstone inscription is short: "Tomb of suvorov". Thanks to Gao Zhen, the fate of rabbits and dead birds is inevitable.

Kutuzov is the commander-in-chief of Russia with outstanding military achievements. Although he is greedy for wine, sex and sleep, he knows how to live and won't miss important things. 18 12 led the Russian army to repel Napoleon's army and win the Russian-French war. Only a handful of people defeated Napoleon, and the first person who defeated Ku became the eternal hero of the Russian people. His contribution to the world is not only the victory of the first Great Patriotic War, but also a new way for weak countries to defeat powerful countries. Since then, guerrilla warfare has officially entered the foreground of history. Ku was injured in his left leg and blind in his right eye on the battlefield. The painter cleverly concealed the defects of the marshal and reappeared the elegance of the famous soldier.

? Tolstoy created the image of Kutuzov, the leader of Russian Patriotic War in 18 12 in his masterpiece War and Peace. He is a brilliant diplomat and politician, an excellent soldier and an experienced politician.

The famous British painter Dao (178 1- 1829) and his assistant, Russian young painter Alexander poliakov (180 1- 1835) spent ten years creating most of his works. The poet Pushkin visited here many times before his death and wrote his feelings into the famous patriotic poem Commander-in-Chief.

4。 Not far from the Marshal Hall, there is also a special gallery hall-the Nederland Art Hall. This hall mainly displays portraits, still lives, landscapes and genre paintings of the famous little Dutch school in history. The exhibits are all small boutiques. Besides some small paintings, some exquisite marble bottles were exhibited.

? This is the only sloping hall in the Winter Palace. The top of the slope is beautifully decorated, and there are gold-plated components at the joint of each small beam and longitudinal beam. There are square patterns in the lattice where the beams cross. Each pattern is different and very delicate.

? The Flemish school of painting (also known as the Dutch school of painting) can mark several key points in the development of this school with the names of artists. The Van Eyck brothers are its founders, hieronymus Bos symbolizes the peak of this painting style, and Peter Brugell Sr marks the end of this period.

5。 St George's Hall, also known as the Golden Throne Hall, the Great Throne Hall and George Hall, covers an area of 800 square meters and has the throne of the emperor.

The ceiling is decorated with magnificent gold-plated patterns, and the floor is inlaid with rare wood 16 colors. The exquisite mosaic pattern of the wooden floor is consistent with the decorative pattern of the ceiling, echoing up and down, harmonious and unified, and even makes people a little confused about the space, upside down and in chaos. This is the strangeness of this hall. There are windows on both sides of Georgi Hall, surrounded by a circle of marble columns, two rows of copper chandeliers hanging neatly from the ceiling, and the floor spliced by various precious wood at the foot is beautifully designed and luxurious. Above the throne is a relief statue of George, the patron saint of Russian army and czar's family. So this hall is called "St. George's Hall".

? 6。 Peter Hall in the Winter Palace, also known as the Little Golden Jubilee Hall, is luxuriously decorated to commemorate Peter the Great, the founder of the Russian Empire. In the center of the hall is a silver-plated czar throne made of impregnated oak, which was ordered from England after Peter's death and completed in 173 1. On the back wall of the seat is the Portrait of Peter I and Minerva completed by the Venetian painter in 1734, that is, the full-body oil painting of Peter the Great and Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, strength and freedom in ancient Greek mythology. At the same time, taking the poltava War (1July 8, 709) in which Peter led the Russian army to defeat Sweden as the background, it shows that freedom and victory will always accompany Peter.

This hall is not very big but exquisite, and it is located in the core of the Winter Palace, which reflects the Russian respect and reverence for Peter I.

? 7。 Little Ermita Exhibition Hall. The whole hall is decorated with white marble and gilded with border patterns. This is the only room in the museum with windows on all sides. This hall has two floors, and a group of white Corinthian colonnades in the middle divides the hall into two parts. The second floor is the corridor. The decoration style of the whole space is slim and beautiful. The center of the hall is decorated with 28 crystal chandeliers and peacock clocks, which are the treasures of the town hall.

The peacock with gold-plated platinum stands proudly on the golden branch, and its workmanship is extremely exquisite. Mechanical clockwork will play music. With the bell ringing, beautiful peacocks, cocks and owls stand beside a leafy oak tree. Peacocks will turn around and open their gorgeous tails, golden cocks will crow, and silver owls will blink. There is also a dragonfly-shaped second hand on the dial. This golden peacock clock only performs once a week. This is the masterpiece of British master Cox. This clock was bought from England in 1780 and given to Queen Ye's favorite lover, Bo Jiang. 1795, Queen Ye died of illness, and Peacock Clock became the collection of the museum.

8. The Royal Living Room is a small square living room. This hall is the boudoir of Maria, the wife of Alexander II. Renovated by Poser, an outstanding designer at that time, into a feminine rococo style. Red goose down with gold can be described as luxury. This is the most feminine hall in the Winter Palace. This hall is the place where members of the royal family live daily, which is very romantic.

The floor of the small hall is a mosaic of wooden floors. The first half is a square circular mosaic, and the second half has a low platform with railings on both sides. There are several groups of sofa chairs used by the royal family on the stage. The furniture is burgundy cloth, and the wood is gold-plated. Stick a burgundy wallpaper on the wall.

The walls on both sides are decorated with white marble pilasters. An oval mirror is installed in the middle of the white hall roof, and a golden crystal lamp is hung in the center of the mirror. When the light is turned on, the two mirrors reflect light at the same time, rendering the space dreamy and blurred.

White marble, golden crystal lamp, Burgundy wallpaper, gold-plated furniture, tan wood floor, dreamlike, gentle and affectionate, family sitting around drinking tea, warm afternoon sunshine, slender light and shadow swaying behind them. The rare warmth of the royal family flows quietly.

9。 The royal daughter's room is not far from the small living room. Compared with the magnificent hall, the bedroom of the Russian princess is more introverted. The ground is a medium yellow wooden floor, and the collage is relatively simple, with a 45-degree angle, which is simple and generous.

? The floor is covered with a carpet with blue background and white flowers, with a crib for the princess when she was a child, and a set of living tables and chairs. In the corner is a landscape screen and a cabinet. The walls are light green, and the white ceiling is slightly patterned.

An oil painting portrait of the princess as a child hangs on the wall. There are portraits of my mother when I was 4 or 5 years old, portraits of me playing in a chair, and portraits of adults. The room is simple and clear, not luxurious or romantic. The Russian royal family still advocates that children should be moderately simple.

10。 The royal study, that is, the study of Nicholas II, the last czar of Russia, is made of wood and beautifully carved.

The ground is covered with wooden floors, and there are many precious rare books in the wooden bookcases on the first and second floors. Going up the wooden stairs to the second floor is a U-shaped corridor with rows of wooden bookcases on the wall. Smallpox is a square wooden lattice with wood carvings inside. On the right side of the study, Nicholas II is said to be reading and writing here. There is a statue of him on the table.

Nicholas II's fate is bleak. After the October Revolution, his family was exiled to Siberia and all of them were executed. He is a tragic czar in Russian history. Later, he was canonized as an Orthodox saint.

1 1。 The golden living room is one of the living areas of Queen Maria, and many official ceremonies have been held to entertain distinguished guests. Today, in the Golden Hall, there are magnificent carvings of western European gems, precious metals and semi-precious stones. At that time, Queen Ye became interested in these small handicrafts. She once collected many precious stones and cut them herself. She once joked that "I have gem disease". These gems were bought by the Queen from the Duke of Olensky.

The golden living room is full of gold, with gold foil on the wall and different patterns on the ceiling. Doors and windows and several chandeliers are also plated with gold. Hence the name. On the floor, small squares of black, white, brown and gold are used to make a mosaic pattern. Outside the window, the hall in the sunshine is like a sunset. When it is about to set, it is full of golden light, which is intoxicating and dizzy.

12。 The white hall is adjacent to the golden living room. Both halls receive distinguished guests, but their functions are different. Whitehall often holds large-scale and high-standard reception activities.

The hall is a mixture of Gothic and Byzantine styles: the pilaster adopts elements of Gothic architecture and the top has Gothic style. Its patterns and patterns have Byzantine style. Exquisite and harmonious, refreshing.

The top surface combines the upward dynamic potential of space to form five round white flower tops. In the center of the circle, a golden chandelier hangs a white flower-shaped lamp post, which makes the connection between the two natural and ingenious.

The big pillars in the hall are divided into small pilasters, and the white marble is used to reduce the sense of mass of the pillars and make the space light. There are also many extremely luxurious gold and silver utensils on display in the hall. With dark blue velvet as the background. Exhibits and space complement each other.

The whole hall has both the lofty feeling of the church towering into the sky and the fantastic aesthetic feeling.

14。 The rural historical painting corridor is a large passage connecting several halls. An arched corridor composed of pilasters and arches connects nine large domes, three on the left, three on the right and three on the left. The three roofs in the middle are transparent, but the walls do not open windows; Everything else is solid, but the wall has windows. The cold light of the sky and the warm light of the artificial light source complement each other and set each other off.

The walls are decorated with historical paintings and plant patterns. Plot puzzles are also plant patterns. There are 86 oil paintings in the embryonic period of ancient Greek and Roman art and many precious marble sculptures in this corridor, and the famous "Three Beauty Gods" are displayed in this hall. There are three rows of exquisite marble sculptures in front of the two walls and in the middle of the corridor, which are lifelike and seem to hear breathing. A semicircle arch connects a dome, which seems to form a secret tunnel of Russian history, quiet and beautiful.

17。 Raphael Corridor is the whole corridor copied in the Winter Palace after Queen Ye visited Raphael's works in the Vatican. At the top of the corridor is a semi-dome separated by the semi-arch of the external wall window. At both ends of the corridor, pillars, roofs, arches and walls, * * * copied 52 paintings with biblical themes, and the last one was The Last Supper. There are many golden sculptures with different patterns on the edge of the surrounding buildings. The sunshine from a row of tall windows on the outer wall makes the magnificent corridor more beautiful.

The treasure of the town hall in Raphael Corridor is "The Virgin with a Baby", also known as "The Virgin of Cone Staby".

For hundreds of years, there has been a saying praising women all over Europe: "Like the Virgin of Raphael." The women in Raphael's works seem to be the natural expression of nature, and their innocence, beauty, solemnity, naturalness, clearness, harmony and conciseness are beyond the reach of future generations.

Raphael is especially good at creating gentle and beautiful images of the virgin and the infant, and the women in his works are very humanized. His Madonna embodies the charm of Italian folk women and has a maternal feeling on the earth.

18。 The Roman art hall is very spectacular. There are ten gray marble columns carved in the middle two rows, with pilasters on each side. The column is Onek-shaped and the stigma is painted, which is very unique. The ground is made of small stones, which is extremely fine. The beam and the caisson in the middle are carefully decorated.

? The whole hall is solemn, like a solemn and lofty church-like religious building.

19。 The Statue Hall, also known as Jupiter Hall, is located on the road from Rome Hall to Exit Hall, and mainly displays sculptures of ancient Greece and Rome.

20。 Malachite Hall used to be the reception room of Queen Alexander, the wife of Nicholas I. 1837, which was built by Bryullov and his student Gornostayev. Green malachite is very precious. The eight pillars and pilasters in the hall, two fireplaces, picture frames, furniture, vases and floor lamps are all green malachite, such as a green ocean. * * * consumes more than two tons of malachite, and the price is the same as gold. On closer inspection, it is found that a complicated "Russian mosaic" process is adopted: malachite is first processed into a pony, and then carefully inlaid. Bright green malachite and the gorgeous gold-plated decorative patterns on the ceiling and column crown reflect each other, producing amazing artistic effects. Parquet floors are all made of precious wood. These were very rare in Russia at that time and even in Europe as a whole.

2 1。 The Da Vinci Hall, known as the "Tsar Hall", is basically the most important and luxurious decorative art style and form of Louis XIV of France. The hall displays two paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, tapestries and sculptures of the Renaissance, as well as the French Boolean clock and fireplace clock on the fireplace.

Up to now, there are only ten paintings by Leonardo da Vinci in the world, and Mother of Breastfeeding and Mother of Flowers are displayed in this hall. At that time, the czar bought these two paintings at a high price and regarded them as treasures. He immediately ordered the Da Vinci Hall to be specially built to display these two treasures. And become the treasure of the town hall of the Winter Palace.

Leonardo da vinci's work "The Breast-feeding Virgin Mary" depicts that the Virgin Mary is breast-feeding the baby Jesus. The virgin Mary's eyes looked down at the little Jesus, but the little Jesus turned to the audience. The Virgin Mary has a beautiful smile on her lips, which is a smile in great maternal love and can soothe all sorrows. The scenery outside the window is light blue. The indoor light is soft.

The image of the baby is very vivid, plump and serene. This painting is full of tender love from a young mother. His wonderful painting method is attributed to his invention of halo painting, which deals with the subtle transition between different colors and between light and shade and creates a soft and hazy effect.

? Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna in Flowers is a scene where young Maria and her son Jesus are together. This religious painting excludes the flavor of religious painting and is full of human feelings. The virgin is no longer at peace with the world.

The virgin wears a delicate blue robe, a red skirt with red sleeves, a golden cloak and a brooch on her chest. Carefully weave fluffy curly hair. The virgin held the baby in her arms. She held him in one hand and carnations in the other. El Nino grabbed his mother with his left hand and stuck his head out with his right hand to catch carnations. According to legend, pink carnations are the sad tears left by the Virgin Mary when she saw the crucifixion of Jesus, and carnations grow where the tears fall, so pink carnations become a symbol of immortal maternal love.

? The eyes and gestures between the virgin and the baby are completely dissolved in the painting. The virgin's smile and the intimacy between mother and child reflect the secular motherhood and the happiness of the beloved son.

22。 Titiantang specializes in collecting his oil paintings. In Titian era, he was called "the sun among the stars" and was one of the most talented painters in Italy, painting portraits, landscapes, myths and religious paintings. His use of color not only influenced Italian painters in the Renaissance, but also had a far-reaching impact on western art..

? Titian's rare treasure, the oil painting "Peeping Woman", is rich in color and bold in brushwork. The character is rough and bold. Titian used an old maid to spy on the image of two aristocratic men and women having an affair, which reflected a side of Venetian life at that time. Image, lifelike and vivid. The custom treatment of the plot strengthens the sense of identity with the joy of secular life and embodies his realistic artistic view.

23。 There is only one work by Michelangelo, the shrinking boy. Almost all his works are kept in Italy, and only a few are hidden in foreign museums. There are many works in this hall. The reason why it is called Michelangelo Hall shows that it pays special attention to Michelangelo's works.

Michelangelo was a giant, a great sculptor and a poet in the Renaissance. Mi devoted his life to studying the structure and movement of the human body, making his works famous for their strength, "bodybuilding" characters, giving full play to the expressive force of the human body and being heroic. There is a comment on Mi's works, "Defeated Da Vinci with nudity".

? The top masterpiece of the Winter Palace sculpture, The Shrinking Boy. Created in 1530-1534, it is one of the precious treasures of the museum. Different from the smoothness of ordinary statues, the marble surface of this statue looks rough, ugly and a little dirty. The boy lowered his head, his hands seemed to be holding his right leg, his hands were on the surface of his right foot, and his hair was curly and he couldn't see clearly. Boys' strong muscles are full and bulging, and a male tension is ready to go.

Each hall of the Winter Palace has its own characteristics, but the design and decoration of the hall are unified, and each hall has its own door and parquet floor.

More than 300 years ago, Peter the Great built the city of St. Petersburg in a swamp, which opened up a sea passage for Russia. The Winter Palace was built by Peter I in 17 1 1 and was the residence of the Russian emperor before 1905. The Winter Palace is the largest and most distinctive baroque building in St. Petersburg. Combining mint green, white and gold, there are a lot of colonnades, windows and niches, and the roof is decorated with rows of classical sculptures. Later, Queen Ye built the Winter Palace with the best gems, marbles and as many stones as possible in the world, and collected countless treasures to enrich the Winter Palace, which was extremely extravagant.

/kloc-Vladimir Rachev, the best Russian writer in the 8th century, said in "Travel from Petersburg to Moscow": Moscow is the heart of Russia, and St. Petersburg is the soul of Russia. The Winter Palace is the soul fire of St. Petersburg, burning brightly. For hundreds of years, the snow and ice that has warmed the Russians for nearly half a year at high latitudes have illuminated that Russians are complacent, fighting endlessly, self-reliant, independent of the harsh and cruel national forest in the world and proud of the world.
