Les Secrets les Plus Incroyables Cachés Dans les Chefs-d’œuvre de l’art

Sympa

Certaines œuvres d'art célèbres cachent des secrets sérieusement stupéfiants. Comme, dans la "Mona Lisa" de da Vinci, il y a tout un mystère autour de son sourire - certains disent qu'il change en fonction de l'endroit où vous vous tenez ! Et regardez ceci - dans la "Nuit étoilée" de Van Gogh, ces nuages tourbillonnants pourraient en réalité être inspirés par les motifs météorologiques turbulents qu'il a observés. De plus, il y a cette théorie que la sculpture "David" de Michel-Ange pourrait avoir des messages politiques cachés gravés dessus. Oh, et ne me lancez même pas sur les symboles cachés dans "La naissance de Vénus" de Botticelli - c'est comme déchiffrer un puzzle antique complet ! L'art est plein de surprises, n'est-ce pas ?

00:00 Many of the most famous paintings in the world are several hundred years old.

00:04 Yet, thanks to modern technology, we still discover mysteries

00:09 that were unknown until then, hidden in these masterpieces.

00:12 What secret does the Joconde have to reveal to us?

00:14 What inspired Salvador Dali when he created one of his most emblematic paintings?

00:19 Discover with us these secrets of art and many other things.

00:23 Leonardo da Vinci's Joconde is one of the most famous and enigmatic portraits in the history of art.

00:30 This reputation is somewhat deserved.

00:32 During his restoration, experts used point scanners to locate hidden letters in his eyes.

00:39 These could reveal the true identity of the model.

00:42 But let's go back to the origins of this story.

00:45 Although this was not the existence of the Da Vinci Code,

00:48 it seems that a code is both hidden in the eyes of Mona Lisa and in the background of her portrait.

00:54 Members of the Italian Heritage Committee have revealed that by observing the painting with a microscope,

01:01 the letters L and V could be seen in one of Mona Lisa's eyes.

01:06 Although other letters are present, they are not as readable as these two.

01:11 As for the background, a careful examination reveals the presence of the number 72 on this arch.

01:18 Or maybe it's the letter L and the number 2.

01:21 It remains a bit blurry.

01:24 After all, the painting is over 500 years old.

01:27 Experts are not sure of the meaning of all these symbols.

01:31 LV could potentially mean Leonardo da Vinci.

01:35 But what about the number 72?

01:38 Well, we may never know.

01:40 Take a look at this painting.

01:42 It is called "Les Ambassadeurs" and was painted by Hans Olbein the Young.

01:46 At first glance, nothing special comes out of this image.

01:50 Only two men from the Tudor court surrounded by musical instruments, globes,

01:54 and the most advanced devices of their time.

01:57 They seem rather satisfied with themselves.

01:59 But here's the thing.

02:01 Remember that the Renaissance is renowned for its love of symbolism.

02:05 You're starting to see where we're going with this.

02:08 Indeed, although this painting seems to celebrate wealth and education,

02:13 the real story behind it is much darker.

02:18 Pay attention to this gray disc in the foreground.

02:20 At first glance, it seems completely deformed.

02:23 But when you look at it from the lower left corner,

02:27 like this, this elongated object turns into a human skull.

02:31 We could compare this to a virtual reality experience for the spectators of the time.

02:36 This skull served as a memento mori, a reminder to all who saw it,

02:41 that even the richest and most educated were destined to die one day.

02:45 So he had to live his life fully as long as he still had time.

02:50 You've probably seen this surrealist painting before.

02:53 Some love it, others are disturbed by its strange shapes,

02:57 but no one remains indifferent.

02:58 This is "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali, painted in 1931.

03:04 And the most emblematic elements of this painting, the soft watches,

03:08 would apparently have been inspired by the texture of a melting camembert.

03:12 The entire landscape is strangely flasky,

03:15 especially if we compare it to Dali's rigid, characteristic mustache.

03:21 It is said that the idea of this painting would have been insinuated in his mind

03:25 while he was watching a plate of camembert melting in the sun.

03:29 But the cheese clocks, put aside, what does this work really mean?

03:34 This dreamlike landscape pushes us to question the border

03:38 between dream and reality, questioning our perception

03:43 of what is tangible and what is not.

03:45 As you may know, surrealists were fed a certain taste for mind games.

03:50 This technique is commonly called an "eye trick".

03:53 As for Dali, he worked according to a method of his own,

03:57 known as the "paranoid critical method".

04:00 Certainly, we can certainly discern a touch of madness here.

04:03 The artist provoked this state of mind by starting from a single object,

04:07 then reacting to it through a series of irrational and subconscious associations.

04:12 Now, take a look at this famous painting by Brugel the Elder.

04:17 Officially titled "The Flemish Proverbs",

04:20 this masterpiece seems to represent an extremely detailed fresco

04:23 of a street overflowing with activity.

04:25 However, true to its title, the painting contains much more than that.

04:29 Indeed, many proverbs are hidden here and there.

04:32 Let's try to discover them all.

04:34 Let's proceed in the direction of the needles of a watch, starting with the left.

04:38 First of all, do you see this upside-down globe?

04:42 It illustrates the proverb "the world is without above".

04:45 Then, let's observe this man running on all fours,

04:48 probably to put out the fire behind him.

04:52 It is the incarnation of the proverb "to have the fire in the buttocks".

04:56 Moving forward, we notice a man warming up near a house fire,

05:00 symbolizing the idea of not worrying about others as long as it benefits us.

05:05 It's like cooking merguez on the neighbor's house.

05:08 Now look at these three characters in the background that stand in line.

05:12 They illustrate the proverb "the blind leads the blind",

05:16 which symbolizes a situation where someone who knows nothing

05:19 receives advice or help from another person who ignores everything.

05:22 Then, observe this fish eating another one.

05:26 It embodies the saying "you always come across bigger than you are".

05:30 This man holding a globe really has "the world" in the hollow of his hand.

05:35 Then, this man in armor with a knife in his mouth seems very strange,

05:40 and illustrates the expression "armed to the teeth".

05:43 And this man is hitting his head against the walls.

05:46 A rather futile activity, isn't it?

05:48 Have you noticed other proverbs in this painting?

05:52 Share your findings in the comments.

05:56 The next painting contains another secret.

05:58 A recent discovery has raised the veil on the mystery surrounding this crowd.

06:03 It seems to be looking at something, but what?

06:06 On this deserted beach, there is nothing to see in appearance.

06:10 But when the painting "View of the beach of Scheveningen"

06:13 was painted in the 17th century, it actually represented

06:17 a group of swimmers gathered around a failed whale.

06:21 The animal ended up being covered, leaving people standing there for no apparent reason.

06:26 Another mystery solved thanks to the history of art.

06:29 Experts have undertaken the restoration of the painting at the Fitzwilliam Museum

06:33 and made an intriguing discovery.

06:36 What seemed to be a person floating in the air

06:38 was actually the fin of a failed whale.

06:41 But why have they masked it?

06:43 According to the restorer in charge of the work,

06:45 the presence of dead animals in the paintings

06:47 was considered shocking from the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century.

06:52 So it was probably at this time that the whale was hidden.

06:56 Michelangelo's David remains one of the most famous statues in the world,

07:00 with 30 replicas of great nature scattered around the globe.

07:04 But if you already think you know this masterpiece,

07:07 prepare for a surprise.

07:09 Depending on the angle you are looking at David,

07:11 you can discover two totally different stories.

07:14 It is interesting to note that Michelangelo may never have imagined

07:18 that the spectators would one day see the face of the statue face-up.

07:22 So, when you look at it from below, as most people do,

07:25 David seems to harbor a serene expression.

07:29 However, when you look at him face to face,

07:31 his expression seems to turn into fear,

07:34 or even anger.

07:36 An article even claims that Michelangelo

07:38 would have left other clues about David's state of anxiety.

07:41 The sagging veins of his arms and his folded forehead are probing examples.

07:46 Michelangelo drew inspiration from this masterpiece in the history of David,

07:50 which tells the exploits of a young shepherd

07:52 by terracing the giant Goliath with a simple frond and a few stones.

07:57 Although the myth stages a boy with a chetive appearance,

08:01 Michelangelo's David is often considered

08:03 as the very incarnation of male perfection.

08:06 The statue weighs nearly 5,700 kg

08:09 and is 5 meters high,

08:12 which is as high as a two-story building or an adult giraffe.

08:16 However, this colossal size is not the result of an excessive ego,

08:21 but rather of practical consideration.

08:24 Originally, the statue was to be placed in a niche on the ceiling of the Cathedral of Florence,

08:29 and therefore had to be large enough to be seen from below.
