"Eternal Leonardo" Ribbon-cutting ceremony for the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death

In this work called "Dialogue", Xu Li combines the mountains and rivers in Leonardo da Vinci's paintings with traditional Chinese landscapes Combining in one painting, there is an artistic dialogue between East and West. The mountains and rivers in Leonardo da Vinci's 23-year-old sketches became the landscapes on the left side of Xu Li's creations. The two are skillfully combined to form a landscape with Chinese culture and aesthetic interest. The contours of the mountains are like undulating lines. The tones meander back and forth, like the tranquility and simplicity of classical oil paintings, and the ease and naturalness of ink paintings. Here, the 500-year time gap seems to have ceased to exist, leaving only a fascinating wonderland, which is a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci and a tribute to the Renaissance .
