Treasure Hunt all over the World

After a while, Robert just woke up.

"Steven, I know that you are the world's top professional treasure hunter and the top expert in antique art appraisal. You have discovered countless top art works and also possessed many priceless treasures.

Since you said that this landscape oil painting is a very good work of art, you must be right! However, I don't know anything about the value of this landscape oil painting. If possible, I hope you can tell me.

The origin of this landscape oil painting is not complicated. About eleven years ago, my wife went to the Hell's Kitchen flea market, saw this oil painting, thought it was beautiful, and bought it for $50.

Since then until now, this landscape oil painting has been hanging in the living room of this apartment. No one realized that it turned out to be a valuable work of art. It is incredible!

I don’t know exactly who bought this landscape oil painting, but my wife may remember it, but unfortunately, she went to work the night shift today, and she won’t be home until tomorrow morning.”

Robert said excitedly, his eyes were full of anticipation, and his eyes were fixed on Ye Tian, ​​expecting to hear the perfect answer.

This guy is quite shrewd, he didn't say whether he would sell this oil painting, but he was just asking for information about this oil painting.

Although Ye Tian liked this landscape oil painting, he didn't like it so much that he had to take it down. Coupled with today's special situation, he didn't have the time and mood to play around.

Hearing Robert's question, he began to explain the oil painting to the other party.

"Robert, your wife is so lucky! She actually picked up such a big leak in the Hell's Kitchen flea market. It is no exaggeration to say that this landscape oil painting is enough to change your fate.

This is a landscape oil painting of the Hudson River School, with superb painting skills, delicate brushstrokes, agility and naturalness, and extraordinary artistic value. It is one of the outstanding representative works of the Hudson River School.

You may not know the Hudson River School, which was a famous painting school active in the 1820s to the 1880s, named after its expertise in depicting the scenery of the Hudson River Valley in New York.

The Hudson River School is good at depicting the vast and magnificent scenery of the New World with realistic brushstrokes, showing the beauty and grandeur of nature, and has a very important position in the history of American art.

It is the first art genre with a distinctive "American" mark, marking the beginning of American art to get rid of European influence and gradually reveal its own character, so it is also called American landscape painting.

It can be said like this,

The Hudson River School is the originator of all American painting art schools. After it communicated and collided with various painting art schools from Europe, it produced the famous New York School of Painting in later generations. ..

Many painters of the Hudson River School are well-known figures in the history of American art. Some of the famous painters are the founders and founders of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, with a detached status!

The oil painting in front of me is exactly the scenery of the Hudson River. The colors are bright and vivid, and the style is fresher than that of European realist paintings.

According to my identification, this Hudson River landscape oil painting was created around the 1860s. The artist who created this painting is named Hart, and he is one of the most famous representative painters of the Hudson River School.

You may not know Hart, the painter of the Hudson River School, but if you have visited the White House, you must have seen his work, which is the "Mountain Lake" hanging in the map room of the White House!

It is a famous painting created by Hart in 858. In addition, we can see Hart's works in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and many other famous museums.

In my opinion, the oil painting of the Hudson River landscape in front of me is better than the "Mountain Lake" in the map room of the White House, and it can better represent Hart's art and painting level, which is very rare!

Well, Robert, time is limited, I can only explain this oil painting of the Hudson River landscape, or the sentence just now, are you willing to transfer this oil painting? I intend to accept it!

If you are willing to transfer, I will immediately contact the company staff and my personal lawyer and ask them to approach you to complete this art transaction anytime, even tonight"

Ye Tian explained this landscape oil painting in detail, and asked to buy it again.

If possible, he still wants to get this landscape oil painting. Since he came across this painting by chance, it would be a pity to miss it!

If the other party refuses, it doesn't matter, the main purpose of this trip to Hell's Kitchen was not for this painting, and there is nothing to regret!

At this time, Robert's face was already flushed with excitement, his eyes were shining brightly, but fortunately his health condition seemed to be pretty good, so he didn't get excited and just turned over!

The rest of the people at the scene were also very excited. They looked at Robert with envious eyes, and they were all envious of this guy's luck!

For only $50, I actually bought such a precious piece of art! Can you not be envious?

They looked at Ye Tian with admiration.

Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved! Steven's eyes are really sharp, no matter what grade or where the antique works of art come from, don't even think about escaping his eyes!

"I've been to the White House, and I've seen the "Mountain Lake" in the map room. I didn't expect this oil painting to be the work of Hart, and it's even better than that one. It's amazing!"

Robert said excitedly, his voice was trembling, his eyes were fixed on the oil painting hanging on the wall, and he couldn't bear to look away.

He was afraid that if he looked away, the landscape oil painting on the wall would disappear. It was a huge fortune! It is also the hope for my family to leave Hell's Kitchen and start a new life.

Seeing Robert's almost crazy appearance, Ye Tian just stood with a smile on his face, and didn't make a sound to disturb this guy.

After about a minute, Robert just woke up.

After taking two deep breaths and calming down a bit, the guy immediately said excitedly:

"Steven, thank you very much for your appraisal and explanation. You are indeed the top expert in antique art appraisal. Your explanation is too professional and convincing. You really deserve your reputation!

As for whether to sell this Hudson River landscape oil painting, I can't give you a definite answer at the moment. I'm very sorry, but I have to discuss it with my wife before I can make a decision!

What's more, she bought this landscape oil painting, and she must ask her opinion on how to deal with it. Even if it is sold to you, she needs to nod her head in agreement. I hope you can understand! "

"It's okay, I can wait. If you decide to sell this oil painting to me, you can contact me at any time. If you don't plan to sell it to me, that's okay too."

Ye Tian said with a light smile, his expression was very natural, and nothing unusual could be seen.

Seeing his performance, Robert couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

At this time, he had already begun to worry about gains and losses. He was afraid that Ye Tianqiang would buy and sell by force, or use some shady tricks to snatch this valuable artwork from him.

But after thinking about it carefully, he dispelled his worries in this regard.

As a native of New York, he has heard some things about Ye Tian. He knows that although Ye Tian is known for being ruthless in the business field, he has never bought or sold by force. This is well known!

Even if this guy tricks people or picks up leaks, he still uses his overwhelming advantages in professional knowledge, as well as his unique and sharp vision, to dig holes for his opponent to jump, or to pick up leaks from them!

Those guys who have suffered a lot from him, although they are very depressed and everyone hates it, but they have no choice but to smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs. They can only blame themselves for being inferior to others!

After quickly adjusting his mood, Robert asked expectantly:

"Steven, may I ask, what is your valuation for this landscape oil painting? Can you tell me? I'd love to know!"

Not only him, but the rest of the audience also wanted to know the answer to this question.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, ​​expecting to hear his answer.

Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and said:

"There is nothing that cannot be said, because of the important position of the Hudson River School in the history of American art, the works of several famous painters of this school have always been sought after by people in the American art market.

Especially in New York, because of the geographical relationship, these paintings depicting the scenery of the Hudson River Valley are enthusiastically pursued by many top collectors in New York and surrounding areas, which can be said to be very sought-after.

According to my understanding of the current antique art market, the market value of this landscape oil painting should be between 8 million and 10 million US dollars. If it is sent to the auction, it may be able to fetch a higher price!

The only pity is that the state of preservation of this landscape oil painting is not very good, and the oil paint on the screen is a bit cracked. If not, its market value must exceed 10 million US dollars, there is no doubt about it! "

Before the words fell, the small living room was completely boiling.

"Eight million to ten million dollars, my God! What a fortune that is, it's crazy, it's like a dream!"

Robert hugged his head and exclaimed, almost crazy.
