Soul Painter

Gao Fan went and returned.

Returning to Feng Yuan's house again, this time I brought "The Picture of Hunger for a Thousand Miles" to me.

Originally, I wanted to ask Feng Yuan for an appraisal on the first day, but I started to learn calligraphy and painting immediately. After Gao Fan's brain was connected to art, other content did not exist, and he immediately forgot all about it.

This painting is indeed poorly drawn.

However, Gao Fan determined that it was an ancient painting after carefully inspecting it with his 'investigation' skills.

It may have a history of hundreds to thousands of years. The picture quality of such paintings is extremely fragile. The inventory of the Palace Museum is hidden in a dark place with the most suitable temperature and humidity. Only when it is properly preserved can it last forever.

As for the painting in Gao Fan's hand, Gao Fan didn't know how it was preserved before, but after it came to him, it was only stored for a month, and a lot of colors had peeled off.

If there are ancient paintings, they must be valuable, and it would be fine to give Feng Yuan as a teacher's thank you gift.

So Gao Fan knocked on Feng Yuan's door again, and showed Feng Yuan the picture of "A Thousand Miles of Hungry Death".

Feng Yuan took a few glances, and a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"What is the origin of this painting?" Feng Yuan asked.

"When I was in Hangzhou, a charlatan gave it to me. He even cheated me of 6,000 yuan. He said it was Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Hungry Extinction." Gao Fan said with a smile.

"The picture of a thousand miles of hunger... Wang Ximeng..." Feng Yuan took out a magnifying glass to look at the painting carefully, nodding and shaking his head, not knowing what he was studying.

"That's right, if it's Wang Ximeng, it must be a fake. You can always appraise it. If it's valuable, I'll keep it for you and let it be in my hands." Gao Fan said.

"How do you judge that the year is right?" Feng Yuan asked curiously.

Identifying ancient paintings is a professional knowledge, such as texture, brushwork, color and so on. , are all works of art, and it is difficult for experts to distinguish the authenticity.

"Look at this painting, the silk used should be Song Gong silk. Tang silk is very thick and suitable for heavy colors, while Song silk is dense and sparse. This one is especially delicate. I have checked the information, and now it is difficult to reproduce this kind of silk. , the cost is also extremely high, the crooks probably won’t spend this money, and besides..." Gao Fan patted the back of the painting with his hands, and a layer of fine and dense colors fell off.

"It should be the method of stone color and thick water, which is also a technical feature of Song Dynasty paintings." Gao Fan said.

The stone-colored-water-thickness method refers to placing the powder of the painting on the back of the painting, soaking the stone-colored water on the front, and penetrating the back powder into the painting. The painting made by this method is superimposed with layers of pearls and jewels, presenting unimaginable prosperity and heavy colors. , "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is one of the most masterpieces.

Gao Fan only understands a little bit, because he uses survey science to connect relevant knowledge together, but the truth discovered by survey science, so far, has not been false.

"Take it easy!" Feng Yuan became anxious when he saw that Gao Fan was good at painting.

Ah. Gao Fan hurriedly withdrew his hands.

"The painting made by the method of stone color and water thickness will cause the color minerals on it to fall off every time it is unfolded. "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" has only been exhibited four times in the Forbidden City in more than 60 years. I waited three hours to see the painting last time. , I can only watch it for five minutes, but that color is rare in the world, and it is still so vivid and moving after a thousand years, it is worthy of being a national treasure..."

Feng Yuan looked at the painting carefully, staring at the painting, muttering in his mouth, now he is not like a great artist, but a child who sees his favorite toys.

"Current research shows that Wang Ximeng actually drew five drafts of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". The first layer is painted with ink and ink, the second layer is painted with ocher, showing warm colors and contrasts, the third layer is painted with stone green, with green mountains, and the fourth layer is painted again. The stone green on the upper floor, you can see the distant mountains and mountains, the fertile fields for thousands of miles, and the stone green on the fifth floor, this is the enduring beauty of the world..."

Following Feng Yuan's guidance.

Gao Fan realized that what Feng Yuan was referring to, this painting "A Thousand Miles of Hunger and Death", and the painting characteristics and techniques of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" he said were all in line with each other.

"This is really Wang Ximeng?" Gao Fan was surprised.

"The skills are too different, but the techniques are in the same line. It's hard to say, hard to say." Feng Yuan fell into doubt, "I still have to take a closer look."

While speaking, Feng Yuan smiled at Gao Fan, like a child who is embarrassed to speak when he meets his favorite toy.

"See you off~" Gao Fan waved his hand.

"No, if it's really a painting from the Song Dynasty, I can't afford it. I'll keep it and have a look. I'll find a few old friends to appraise it, and I'll let you know the result." Feng Yuan said, putting down the painting carefully, and then Just picked up the phone and started calling.

...

After Gao Fan put the unidentified "Hungry Picture of a Thousand Miles of Hungry Death" at Feng Yuan's place, he turned around and forgot about it.

If it is true, it must be donated to the Forbidden City.

If it's fake, let Mr. Feng play with it.

So nothing to worry about.

Gao Fan had already received the notification from Lawrence.

The first round of propositions commissioned by J.K Rowling is out.

Very simple three words: 'Depicting beauty'.

This theme is indeed very artist-like, there is no limit to the subject matter, no limit to the size, just submit a work that you think can best express the 'beauty'.

As for what you think of as beauty, it doesn’t matter if it’s a god, a human, or an animal.

interesting~

Gao Fan's first feeling when he heard this proposition was that he was obviously following in the footsteps of the elk.

Elk cats are the most beautiful in the world.

And the time limit is one month.

The painter who accepts the commission needs to hand over the work within one month and accept the review of the jury.

The list of judging committees was also sent out, with a total of 10 members, including the most famous artists, collectors and connoisseurs in the world's oil painting field. The sending of this list means that the judging must be fair.

At the same time, there is an additional benefit.

That is, during this month, the commissioned painters can choose to create anywhere in the world, and J.K Rowling will be responsible for all the expenses throughout the process, which will be used as the remuneration for the painters who are not selected after the preliminary review.

"There is such a beautiful thing~"

After Gao Fan heard the news, he immediately went back to school to pack his luggage.

"Where are you going?" Lawrence asked him.

"British Museum, Louvre, Russian Museum, New York Museum." Gao Fan replied.

"The one-month deadline is for creation..." Lawrence reminded Gao Fan.

"This is for creation!" Gao Fan said.

"Okay, but Ms. JK is really generous, and she will also bear the full cost of one of your traveling companions." Lawrence asked Gao Fan, "Which beautiful lady do you plan to invite to accompany you on this artistic journey?" Is it?"

Gao Fan thought for a while, searched the list in his head, and asked Lawrence, "Can cats do it?"

...

after one day.

Xin Wei didn't come to see Gao Fan board the plane.

Regarding the fact that Gao Fan took the cat and didn't take her, she could figure it out, but she couldn't accept it!

Second watch~
