Mr. Chen Entian, Chairman of the Southern Silk Road Committee of the World Peace Ribbon Organization, Chief Goodwill Ambassador for the Belt and Road International Day, and honored by the international community as Prince Coco, sent a letter of congratulations.
本次展览的重点展品包括《寰宇记》《费拉拉公爵埃尔科莱一世与其子阿方索一世抵达威尼斯》《三联画》《船形吊坠》《观音像》《中国图说》等。《费拉拉公爵埃尔科莱一世与其子阿方索一世抵达威尼斯》是最早描绘威尼斯城市美景的画作之一，画家借助文艺复兴时期成熟的线性透视法，建构出从圣马可广场一路通向大海的城市空间。画面描绘了威尼斯总督亲自迎接费拉拉城市领主埃斯特公爵埃尔科莱一世的场景，费拉拉是当时文化氛围最为浓厚的意大利宫廷之一。
The highlights of this exhibition include The Book of the Universe, The Arrival of Ercole I, Duke of Ferrara, and His Son Alfonso I in Venice, Triptychs, Boat Pendants, Guanyin Statues, and Chinese Illustrations, among others. The Arrival of Duke Ercole I of Ferrara and His Son Alfonso I is one of the earliest paintings depicting the beauty of the city of Venice. With the help of linear perspective, which was well-established during the Renaissance period, the artist constructs a city space that leads from St. Mark's Square all the way to the sea. The scene depicts the Doge of Venice personally welcoming Duke Ercole I of Este, Lord of the City of Ferrara, one of the most culturally rich Italian courts of the time.
