Why does Hitler value "The Ghent Altarpiece"? Hitler was an unwilling painter. He admired classical masters and hated modern art. The degenerate painting exhibition held by the Nazis in Berlin vilified and ridiculed the works of Picasso, Matisse, etc., like a concentration camp cleaning in the face of art, and to those classical masters he coveted or he believed to be in line with Germanic ideals. Before he invaded those countries, he planned the location of the famous paintings to be captured in the Museum of the Heads of State in his mind. "The Ghent Altarpiece" is the most important work of the Nazi theft in the film. It is a large-scale work composed of 12 door panels and 20 pictures. Its true, delicate and lifelike painting style is almost a piece in the 15th century when it was born. Miracle, known as the first real oil painting in art history, has a lofty and sacred status. In Hitler's eyes, the style of the Ghent altarpiece was sufficiently Germanic and should belong to his Führer Museum; more importantly, before the First World War, 6 of the 12 panels of the altarpiece originally belonged to Germany. After the signing of the Treaty of Versailles As compensation was forced to hand over to Belgium, and Hitler was determined to correct this "mistake." After Belgium was invaded in 1940, the church handed over the altarpiece to the French government for protection, but it was later stolen by the Nazis. Five years later, when the monument guards opened the iron gate of the Altausee underground mine in Austria, the jewels on the crown of the Virgin Mary of Van Eyck were shining at them. Attracted to the past." After hundreds of years, this masterpiece is still bright and bright. In the film, the role of Bill Murray discovered that the Maria door panel was turned over by the Nazis and used as an ordinary table board. This is obviously a Hollywood-style art "re-creation". 2. "Da Vinci's Dinner" was almost destroyed by the Allies? The film "Allied Treasures" is mainly based on the actions of historic guards in Germany, Belgium, France and other places, but abandons Italy, which has countless artistic treasures and a more complicated situation. The original author Edsey wrote another book. The title of the book is "Save Da Vinci". In 1944, Allied planes razed the towering Christian monastery of Monte Cassino to the ground in Italy, only to discover that this was not a Nazi stronghold, which triggered a hype in the Nazi media and named the Allied forces the title of art destroyer. This incident received the attention of the Allied Commander, and only then did the Antiquities Guardian unit at the beginning of the film land in Normandy. In the film, there is a scene in which the citizens of Milan protect the "Last Supper" during the Allied bombing. The wall with this masterpiece is preserved by the support of sandbags and wooden boards, but it still suffers great damage. three Is "Painting Art" illegally possessed by Hitler? Vermeer's work was originally called "The Painter in the Studio", and it can be imagined from the common name of "painting art" by later generations to see its lofty status. Vermeer was not well-known when he was alive, and was forgotten for two centuries after his death. The painter's life experience made Hitler, who claimed to be "genius ahead", found "resonance." Vermeer was Hitler's favorite painter, and he was determined to collect all his works. However, in the film "Guardians of Historic Sites", "Painting Art" is the most undesirable work, because it was normally purchased by Hitler at a price of 1.65 million marks. After the defeat of the Nazis, the Allied forces discovered the painting in an underground mine in Alzetta, Austria, but did not return it to the original owner who sold it voluntarily, but belonged to the Austrian state. The four most famous paintings that should not be missed by the film? On the contrary, we unfortunately did not see Vermeer's other work "Astronomer" in the film. According to people close to Hitler, after the Nazi trend was over, Hitler had been quietly gazing at the scientist in this painting with a book of oracle spread out in front of him while his hand was touching the globe. Hitler had planned to build an art museum unparalleled in the world in his hometown Linz, and the central location of the museum was reserved for this "Astronomer". The painting was originally owned by the Rothschild family of Parisian collectors, but was forcibly taken away after the Nazis invaded France. To this day, a small black swastika can still be seen behind this painting. In 1945, the Allied forces discovered the painting in the underground mining area of ​​Arcetao and returned it to the Rothschild family. It is currently one of the treasures of the Louvre Museum. Fifth Nazi Generalissimo Goering is a layman? Under Hitler's leadership, the collection of art became popular among Nazi officers. Hitler and his second-in-command, Goering, had conflicts because of the dispute over famous paintings. In the film, the tennis hall museum in Paris contains art treasures looted and plundered by the Nazis. However, when Goering walked in, he admired a bottle of champagne after a round of inspections. Consistent with popular opinion, the film tends to portray Goering as a vanity poser. After the defeat, when Goering tried to escape, he left a few small-scale famous paintings around him, including Vermeer's "Jesus and the Prostitute". However, in prison, Goering learned that the painting was a fake. His eyes "as if he knew for the first time that there is something like evil in the world." (The picture shows the masterpiece of Velazquez, which appeared in the film and is stored in the Tennis Hall Museum). He left such a passage in the "Interview with Nuremberg", "In all the outlines of the complaint against me, the so-called "I am Art treasures have carried out the looting theory, which caused me the most pain." Sixth, "Little Irene" was hidden in the pocket of a lower-level Nazi officer? After the fall of France, the Nazis did not touch the treasures of the Louvre that were transferred and hidden in the countryside. The family collections of the Parisian collectors like Rothschild alone were enough to satisfy their appetite. Many of these people were Jews. The "Little Irene" that appeared in the home of Goring's deputy officer Starr in the film is a collection of the Rothschild family. As Renoir's most well-known work, the film was blatantly hung in the home by Starr. This kind of treatment is somewhat "insulting" to the Nazi's IQ. The role of Starr has a realistic prototype, but he is not a Nazi officer but an art dealer, and Goering exchanged this painting for him with another painting of "Little Irene." In 1945, the Allies found the painting and returned it to the character in the painting, Irene. It is now housed in the Bührle Exhibition Hall in Switzerland. Cezanne's "Doctor Gachet's House" also appeared in Starr's house. As shown in the film, there are 22 works from Sisley, Cézanne, Monet, Degas and Renoir hanging in the home of the character prototype Rocheritz near Hohenschwangau Castle. Doctor Gachet is a resounding name in art history. He is a close friend of many impressionist painters. Van Gogh made him the "Portrait of Doctor Gachet" which was later sold at a high price. The fledgling Cézanne was also treated and appreciated by him. . During World War II, the Nazis visited the "Doctor Gachet's House" on the outskirts of Paris many times to search for the works of Impressionist painters. Although Hitler himself opposed Impressionism, Goering understood the huge financial benefits that these paintings could bring. Cezanne also fell into the hands of the Nazis from the Rothschild family. It was returned by the Allies after the war and is currently in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. seven Are all the famous paintings liberated by the Allied forces plundered by the Nazis? Manet's painting showing a couple's relationship is now at the end of the film. However, in the strict sense, it cannot be regarded as one of the artworks saved by the Allies. The painting was originally collected in the German National Gallery in Berlin. After the defeat of the Nazis, it was transferred to an underground salt mine in the town of Merx, along with many other works of art from the National Gallery, as well as most of the German gold reserves and banknotes. . In 1945, the Allied forces found this treasured location and caused a sensation, and a black-and-white photo of soldiers carrying this "In the Greenhouse" was left behind. There are no artworks from other countries that have been plundered by the Nazis. It was later returned to Germany and is still in the collection of the German National Gallery in Berlin. Eight Hitler's "Nero Decree" ordered the destruction of artworks? Hitler issued the "Nero Decree" before his defeat, requiring the Germans to destroy all German infrastructure to avoid being used by the Allies. However, in the film "Nero Decree" was interpreted as Hitler's intention to destroy all art in Germany. Steal the exchange concept. In the will that Hitler wrote a few hours before his suicide, he still did not give up the illusion of building a great museum in his hometown of Linz. However, under the anarchic chaos after the defeat of the Nazis, many art treasures were stolen or even wiped out. One of the most famous paintings that disappeared is Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man". This work and Leonardo’s "The Woman Holding a Silver Mouse" were both plundered from Poland and hung in a private residence by Frank, the Nazi Polish commander, to be dedicated to Hitler’s Führer Museum. Was the portrait of Nine Raphael really burned by the Nazis? After Hans Frank was arrested in 1945, "The Woman Holding the Silver Rat" was returned to the Polish Crolav Museum, but the whereabouts of "Portrait of a Young Man" is still unknown. A fictitious scene in the film shows that a Nazi officer based on Hans Frank burned the painting. But at the end of the movie, Clooney's antiquities guardian claimed to be still looking for this work. After World War II, works that disappeared with "Portrait of a Young Man" continued to appear, and there is reason to believe that this Raphael also survived. At the end of 2012, traces of this painting appeared on the art trading market. The hiding place is still unknown, but it is certain that it is still "alive". Together with "The Woman Holding the Silver Rat", this painting was purchased from Italy in 1798 by the Prince of Poland. It is listed as the top ten missing famous paintings in the world by the US FBI, and it is currently estimated to have a market value of about 100 million U.S. dollars. ten Have you discovered the details of the tribute to Rembrandt in the film? We also saw this self-portrait of the Dutch master Rembrandt in the Murex Mine in the film. The young translator Sam in the film was born in Karlsruhe, Germany. This painting is collected in a museum not far from his home. As a Jew, Sam has never seen it. Finally at Murx, Sam had a face-to-face with Rembrandt, his "neighbor" for the first time. At this time, the film used a typical Rembrandt-style "triangular lighting" to show his facial close-ups. , This is an exquisite tribute detail. The realistic prototype of Sam’s character smiled when he saw the movie and said, “However, I have never done anything in the movie.” In fact, this Rembrandt is in Heilbronn rather than silently. What Kes discovered was that it had not been handed by the Nazis, but had been stored here by museum officials for safety reasons. ①Michelangelo's "The Madonna of Bruges" Michelangelo's marble sculpture "The Madonna of Bruges" is also the top priority of the treasure hunt for the guardians of the monuments in the film, the role of "Master Downton" Donald Jeffries Explain its importance in one sentence: "It was the only work outside of Italy during Michelangelo's lifetime." This is true, but it is clearly not the reason for the greatness of the statue of Our Lady of Bruges. Unlike the benevolent Virgin Mary in Michelangelo's works of the same period (the domestic subtitles translated it as "The Pieta" is a confusion and fallacy), the Virgin here looks melancholy, and seems to have met the future destiny of the child. When Napoleon came to power, this work was forcibly transported to Paris, and Hitler, who admired Napoleon, listed it as the number one target for plundering works of art. In 1945, the statue of the Virgin was retrieved by the monument guard in the mining area of ​​Alcétao, but the plot in which the monument guard gave his life in the film is an artistic creation. ②In Rodin's "The Righteous People of Calais", the guards of the monuments found the bronze sculpture composed of six figures outside the gate of Neuschwanstein Castle. The role of Matt Damon just said lightly, "This is Rodin" . "The Volunteers of Calais" is one of Rodin's most famous works, created in 1884, depicting a moving story during the Hundred Years' War in the 14th century. At that time, the British army besieged the French city of Calais. Calais had to select six noble citizens to be put to death. These six people had to be bald, barefoot, and lock their necks when they left the city. city. This is an unforgettable tragic moment in French history. During World War II, the Nazis transported this group of sculptures to Germany, but eventually abandoned it in a wood near Neuschwanstein Castle. According to the recollection of the monument guard who discovered it, when he first saw the sculpture, he thought it was an ambush waiting for him in the woods. This self-portrait.
