Have You Ever Seen The Landscape Painted With Stamps?

Oil paintings composed of stamps

There is such a country: the land area is much larger than that in Shanghai, but the total population of the country does not even have more visitors to Expo Park every day.

But in the big family of the international community, it is like a wonderful flower, blooming everywhere in politics, economy, culture and so on.

Without personal experience, it may sometimes be difficult for Chinese people to understand what kind of foreign life these mini states have.

It doesn't matter. They also appeared in World Expo, Shanghai.

Let's start with the Liechtenstein Pavilion and see what creative displays of these "mini states" in the world.

Crystal image "false truth"

Walking into Liechtenstein hall, one of the European Union Pavilion, almost everyone will be attracted by a bright crystal at the entrance of the pavilion.

This irregular crystal is slightly larger than the palm of the hand. It is shining without lighting and lighting.

Liechtenstein curator Ma Liyin (MarionMalin) told reporters that this is a piece of natural crystal from the Alps, which is not expensive but refers to Liechtenstein, because "Liechtenstein" means "bright stone" in German.

In order to let Chinese tourists understand the real meaning of Liechtenstein, the pavilion specially asked Chinese Calligraphers Liang Guorong to inscribe "towering the Alps, shining Liechtenstein", and regarded the work as "signboard" and hung it over the doorway of the exhibition hall.

However, if you think this is the whole mystery of the crystal, it is wrong.

If you stretch out your hand and touch the crystal on the booth, you will find that it is a stereoscopic image that can not be seen or touched.

So an interesting scene is repeated every day before this crystal.

Tourists first enjoy quietly, sometimes guess how valuable the crystal is.

Later, at last, some people could not help reaching out, thinking of touching the crystal with their own hands.

The crowd immediately exclaimed: "it's a fake! It's too realistic!" at this time, the staff on the side will patiently explain to the tourists that this is a three-dimensional image formed by light and reflector, and the real thing is hidden in the center of the ring mirror under the image.

As a result, curious people rushed to stretch out their hands and wanted to experience their hands "passing through the stone", and came up with "long guns and short guns" to record this magical moment.

50 thousand stamps create landscapes.

If philatelists are to make a "ranking of the world's must see Pavilion", Liechtenstein will definitely rank the top three list.

This small European country, known as the "stamp kingdom", has created a world record of 20% of the total revenue of stamp revenue.

The philatelists will never be disappointed in this World Expo.

The Liechtenstein museum used 50 thousand stamps to make a landscape painting.

Far from the painting, it is found that a stamp is perfectly integrated with the details of the original painting, and the color is impeccable.

Ma Liyin said that this painting is called "bird's eye view of Vaduz city". It depicts the landscape of Liechtenstein Ssoduvaduz. It was created by artist John Jacob Schmidt in the early nineteenth Century and is now a private possession of the Grand Duke of Liechtenstein.

Liechtenstein issued the first stamp in 1912 and has issued more than 2000 different stamps.

The stamp puzzle on display in World Expo, Shanghai, covers all the stamps issued in Liechtenstein since 1912.

Since the whole picture needs 50 thousand, each stamp has been used for about 25 times.

Ma Liyin smiled and said, "interested stamps fans can also try, and find the oldest stamp in Liechtenstein in 50 thousand stamps, the portrait of the Grand Duke of Liechtenstein."

In order to commemorate the 2010 World Expo, Shanghai, Liechtenstein chose two Chinese and Western landscape paintings, and designed two Stamp Stamps.

One of them is the bird's eye view of Vaduz, which is used for jigsaw. The face value is 1.6 Swiss francs. The other is taken from the "tide watching map" created by the famous Buddhist monk of the late Qing Dynasty named "the three heroes of the sea", which is now hidden in the the Imperial Palace Museum, with a face value of 1.9 Swiss francs.

In addition to issuing the traditional first day covers, Liechtenstein postal distribution center will also issue a commemorative tail cover for the collection of philatelists on October 31st.

Meanwhile, Liechtenstein introduced a collection of stamps in World Expo, including two coins with the first day stamp sheathed, a first day stamp and a black sheet miniature stamp.

In addition, Liechtenstein will also offer 1000 limited edition stamps made from hand-made paper, which is expected.

The 24 photos form the whole picture.

How small is Liechtenstein? A famous bridge is like this: if you go sightseeing in this country, it takes only half a day.

If you light a cigarette in Switzerland and travel through Liechtenstein to Austria, the smoke may not have been burned.

Liechtenstein used a more creative way to display their charm in World Expo, Shanghai.

Walk into Liechtenstein hall, do not neglect the seemingly ordinary photo gallery on the left wall.

This is the photographer's Liechtenstein spring scenery along the the Rhine from south to north, starting at 7:45 in the morning and changing every 1.13 kilometers and 30 minutes.

The 24 picture is linked to a whole picture of Liechtenstein.

Border lines, farmland, forests, factories, mountains, everything, grand archway, national parliament and other landmark buildings were also photographed.

It is said that Dr. Shure, deputy general representative of Liechtenstein's government, has even pointed out the location of his home in Eighteenth paintings.

The first photo at the entrance of the exhibition hall is the Liechtenstein satellite map with 24 shooting points.

In order to make up for the shortage of only the spring scene, the pavilion has placed two air cushion beds at the end of the photo gallery, with a screen above it, playing the snow scene of the Alps, and the beautiful scenery of Liechtenstein's hills and hills in winter.

"Air cushion beds are very popular. Tourists like to sit in bed when they are tired. Some people even fall asleep here.

However, as long as you open your eyes, you can lie on the air cushion bed and watch the snow scene images of the Alps, as if you had made an air trip.

"

There are pavilions and pavilions in the capital Vaduz.

Even at the outlet of the exhibition hall, Liechtenstein Museum has prepared the last surprise for tourists.

Ma Liyin told reporters that the theme of Liechtenstein Pavilion is "respect and dialogue". Therefore, Liechtenstein has built two pavilions, one of which is located in World Expo Park in Shanghai in 2010 and the other in Liechtenstein capital Vaduz.

The image of the Liechtenstein Pavilion in Vaduz is displayed on the screen of the exhibition hall.

"Liechtenstein Pavilion in Vaduz is also open in May 1st and will be displayed by October 31st.

Outside the pavilion, like the exhibition hall in Shanghai, various colored coloured flags are hung, symbolizing Liechtenstein's cultural tolerance.

The colorful banner reads "Better City, better life" in all kinds of words. Let Liechtenstein understand World Expo, Shanghai.

Ma Liyin said, "although it is a little smaller than Liechtenstein Museum in Shanghai, the exhibition hall in Vaduz is almost the same as the Expo site.

"This enables Liechtenstein to know how we show our country to Chinese tourists in Shanghai."
