Louvre: a world-famous museum, among which there are three treasures of the town hall. Do you know which one?

Located on the north bank of the Seine River in the center of Paris, France, the Louvre is the first of the four major museums in the world.

There are countless collections in the museum, including more than 400,000 art treasures from all over the world, which are displayed in six exhibition halls according to their sources and types, as well as Oriental Art Museum, Ancient Greek and Roman Art Museum, Ancient Egyptian Art Museum, Treasure Museum, Painting Museum and Sculpture Museum.

Among them, there are three priceless treasures handed down from ancient times, namely Mona Lisa, Cupid's Venus statue, Brokeback Venus (also known as Venus of Milos) and the goddess of victory. These three treasures are called the "Three Treasures of the Louvre", and it can be said that three goddesses are the treasures of the town hall.

"When I first went to the Louvre, I didn't feel anything special, because I had already seen the Mona Lisa, and it belonged to me alone." -"The Last Kiss" Yudota

Among the three treasures in the town hall, the most famous is the oil painting Mona Lisa created by Italian Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of people who go to the Louvre to enjoy the Mona Lisa every year is about 6 million. Even though there is a terrible queue of more than three meters, people from all over the world can't dispel their desire to see that "mysterious smile".

Another well-known work is the Brokeback Venus, which is a marble sculpture created by the ancient Greek sculptor alexandros around 150 BC.

This sculpture shows the dignified and beautiful figure and plump skin of Venus, the goddess of love. The proportion of the whole statue is very intriguing, and almost all of them contain the aesthetic proportion of the golden section. This perfect golden ratio has also made some people "unforgettable" because it once appeared in the national volume of 19 college entrance examination. It is estimated that they still remember the fear of being dominated by "how high is Venus".

Another artistic value of Brokeback Venus lies in its "incomplete beauty". What shape is the hand of Venus? It is this kind of speculation, this kind of broken arm, which casts a mysterious color on her and gives people unlimited imagination.

The last of the "Three Treasures of the Louvre" is the Statue of Victory, which was found on Samothrace Island in the northern Aegean Sea in 1863, also known as Samothrace Nike Statue. The author has no way to prove it.

This sculpture was created to commemorate the victory of the Samothrace ruler in the naval battle. As a memorial statue, the Statue of Victory was originally placed on the edge of a cliff. Her base was carved into the bow, while the Goddess stood high and spread her wings, as if welcoming the returning fleet.

Although the goddess lost her head and arms, the artist's vivid creation did not weaken the viewer's imagination of her incomplete parts. No matter from which angle, the viewer can see the majestic posture of the goddess of victory spreading her wings.

In addition to the three treasures, the Louvre has a large number of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and oriental antiques. It is impossible to appreciate the size of the Louvre in one day, so you should do some homework and choose your favorite museum to visit before visiting.
