It seems impossible that any oil painting can remain fresh for hundreds of years without special care and storage, such as moisture-proof, sun-proof, and special bags.

This painting has been hung on the wall of the castle all year round without any treatment. Moreover, the oil painting will be touched by tourists, and sweat, dust, etc. are inevitable.

Mr. Liu: "After an oil painting has been left for a long time and becomes old, wiping the painting with brightener can restore the original effect. Adding some brightening agent to the oil paint can make the painting more colorful. The focus is on the paper. As time goes by,

With the increase, the paper will definitely change."

Chen Youlu: "Paper is just an appearance. This painting brings an indescribable temptation to people."

Wang Dengming looked thoughtful. He couldn't show that this appraiser was so old, so he shouldn't use the word "temptation".

Chen Youlu then laughed and said: "Sergeant Wang, you are laughing. You should be more dignified at your age. You are rude."

"Teacher Chen, you're welcome. I don't dare look into the eyes of the nine-tailed fox for a long time. It's a bit evil and the painting is too realistic."

"Everyone who sees these eyes will be fascinated. They are so real, even more real than the way they were photographed. Precisely because they are so real, they make people feel like this painting. What should I say? Have you smelled this painting?

It smells like lavender.”

Wang Dengming put his nose up.

“What does lavender smell like?”

Mr. Liu: "I haven't smelled lavender either. Mr. Chen, what kind of medicine is in your gourd?"

Chen Youlu: "I've never seen such a strange painting before. I've never seen it before. Do you want to hear a true evaluation?"

Wang Dengming: "That's natural."

"This painting doesn't taste like painting."

Mr. Liu hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, this is obviously a painting. The painting is so good, but it doesn't taste like painting. After all, you have been working in this industry for more than 20 years."

"Does this painting smell of paint, ink or rosin water?"

Mr. Liu also raised his nose.

"It seems there really isn't. It's a bit strange. It evaporated over time. It might not be possible with this one."

"No matter how it is evaporated or dried, it is impossible to completely eliminate the smell of the oil painting. Let's look at it again. Is the surface hardness and strength of this painting different?"

"This is hand painting, which is certainly different from the original hand painting."

Wang Dengming: "Excuse me, what is Xinghua?"

Mr. Liu: "Let's ask Teacher Chen to speak."

"Oil paintings include digital oil paintings, simulated oil paintings, brushed oil paintings, factory oil paintings and hand-painted oil paintings, etc. Line painting is one of them. Artificial hand-painted is uneven and has a strong texture. It is easy to see the picture of thin painting.

It needs to be carefully inspected locally, and there will be traces of brushes. The printed matter is printed directly with inkjet printing, and the picture is smooth, without the touch of a brush or a three-dimensional effect. How to say line painting? Strictly speaking, line painting is not an oil painting, but an oil painting handicraft.

Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Dengming bared his teeth and said with a smile: "It's a bit mysterious."

"Let me be more specific. Pure hand-painted oil paintings are painted by the artist one by one. An oil painting takes several days or even months to complete. Hand-painting is mass production, which is basically divided into two categories. The first is the factory assembly line production model.

Each painter masters the painting skills of a certain place. Each person completes his or her own part and then hands it to the next person to complete the work together in batches.

The second type is printing color filling and base color filling. The printing color filling effect is poor and there are no deep and light strokes, so after inkjet printing, paint will be applied in some obvious places to create a three-dimensional effect, which is probably like this."

"I kind of understand."

"Then let's talk about something easy to understand. This painting seems to be made of drawing paper, but in fact it is made of canvas. I have never seen canvases before. Canvases are generally divided into linen, cotton and linen, and pure cotton.

Three types, I have never seen this, never. It is possible that this is not a canvas or drawing paper, and I don’t know what it is.”

"Teacher Chen, you are not sure what the paper of this painting is?"

"No, but this is definitely a good work. It is rich in color and has strong three-dimensional texture. It does not follow the trend, and it touches people's soul and shocks the eyes. For example, the portrait of Velázquez scared many people away from entering.

.”

"Teacher Chen, you are right, this nine-tailed fox will make people think of other things when they look at it."

"Let's talk about the glue issue. Oil paintings usually use vegetable glue, animal glue, casein glue, methacin and white latex. I really can't tell what kind of glue was used in this painting. The strangest thing is that I don't know.

What does this master want to express with this painting? A Western woman and a nine-tailed fox from Eastern mythology, and a sword-wielder wearing ancient clothes. What exactly does he want to express? It feels very confusing. This painting makes people confused.

Think of the fourth dimension."

It seems that the artist's perception is different from that of ordinary people, and the four-dimensional space appears.

"Teacher Chen, the origin of this painting is not simple. Do you see these three words?"

"Turbei, is he the original author of this painting?"

"This name will take some time."

"I hope you can be as detailed as possible."

When Wang Dengming told the connection between this person's name and this painting, as well as the Dusk Skull Valley, the church case, etc., Chen Youlu couldn't help but express his surprise.

"So that's it."

"Here comes the key point. At this location, behind the flowers, do you think one more person or one less person will affect the coordination of the entire painting?"

Chen Youlu picked up the magnifying glass again.

"It would be more appropriate and accurate to look at the problem this way. If the painter adds a figure here, the artistic conception of the picture will be different than if he does not add a figure. What does the person behind the flowers look like to you?"

Wang Dengming went to the safe to take out the wax figure. He had to ask the detective to tell him the new password first.

After bringing the wax figure over, Chen Youlu used an artistic point of view to exaggerate it.

"That's her."

"You mean, at a certain point on a certain day, her face appeared behind the flowers, her little face."

"Yes, Teacher Chen."

"You couldn't have made a mistake, right? How did this wax statue come about?"

Wang Dengming told the origin of the wax figure again.

"Is it possible that you like this wax figure so much that over time, you have some hallucinations?"

"I can responsibly say, it's impossible."

Chen Youlu held the wax figure with his left hand, while looking at the position of the flowers, gesturing with his right hand, and finally said: "Chief Wang, the phenomenon you saw is already a fairy tale."

Mr. Liu said: "Chief Wang, I personally know your character quite well. I believe what you say, but this incident is too unbelievable. When you saw an extra person in the painting, you were acting normally.

Seen under different circumstances?”

"I've already said this, and I hope what I saw is false."

Chen Youlu: "Okay, if we do this, we will determine that there is indeed an extra person in the painting. Let's find the reason, starting from the paper of this painting, or in other words, starting from the canvas of this painting."
