Treasure Hunt all over the World

Regarding the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, ​​no one at the scene doubted it, including this poor stall owner!

As long as Steven says that this painting is the work of Botticelli, then it must be true, this classical oil painting must come from the master artist Botticelli!

This guy Steven is the world's top expert in the identification of antique works of art. He has an extremely sharp eye. He has never heard of seeing it, and today is no exception.

Because of this, the stall owner regretted it more than he wished to live, and was extremely angry and desperate.

Who could not be angry that the greatest wealth in life passed by himself and fell into someone else's pocket in a blink of an eye?

After the stall owner vented his anger and the scene became a little quieter, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Man, in fact, you don't have to feel angry and desperate, let alone hate me. This oil painting must have been in your hands for a while, but you didn't realize its great value at all.

If I hadn't happened to come here and discover this classical oil painting, then this very important top-level artwork would probably have been buried or fell into the hands of other people who don't know what it is.

In that case, it would be a pity, the world will lose one top-level artwork, what a huge loss, it is the same for everyone, and it will never be made up for! "

Hearing these words, the stall owner was immediately speechless. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond!

However, the anger in his heart burned more vigorously, and his eyes became more desperate. His blood-red eyes stared at Ye Tian and the classical oil painting, almost bleeding out!

Ye Tian's words are reasonable and reasonable, and they sound impeccable, but they sound awkward no matter how they sound!

Many onlookers at the scene rolled their eyes angrily and complained secretly one by one!

All the good things you co-authored should fall into the hands of you bastard. Others deserve to be unlucky to be swept away by you bastard. How can he reason? It's so irritating!

While complaining secretly, everyone at the scene looked at the poor stall owner who was on the verge of collapse, and everyone's eyes were full of sympathy and pity!

After a few words of persuasion to the stall owner, Ye Tian immediately shifted his gaze, looked at the two Italian cultural relics gendarmes in plain clothes, and said loudly with a smile:

"Pissaro,

As far as I know, this Botticelli portrait is not on the list of stolen works of art, nor is it in the Da Vinci database of your Italian Antiquities Gendarmerie, am I right?

How I got this painting, you all witnessed it, many people here also witnessed the transaction process, including my personal lawyer, the whole transaction process was completely legal, there was no problem"

Hearing that the two guys in plain clothes were Italian cultural relics gendarmes, everyone at the scene immediately turned their heads to look at them, their eyes were full of curiosity, and they were also secretly shocked!

The destructive power and deterrent power of this bastard Steven is really terrible. There are cultural relics gendarmes in plain clothes who follow him closely. Who the hell has heard of such a thing!

Even so, it still didn't stop this guy from sweeping top-level antique artworks and wealth crazily. The work of Botticelli in front of him is the best proof.

Obviously, those cultural relics gendarmes that make other antique dealers and professional treasure hunters tremble in fear, in the eyes of Steven, a bastard, there is no threat at all, they are just decorations!

Although he didn't want to admit it very much, Pizarro had to nod and said:

"You're right, Steven, this Botticelli is not on the list of stolen art, it's not in our 'da Vinci' database, it hasn't even been found before .

The process by which you acquired this classical oil painting was indeed reasonable and legal, and the whole transaction was impeccable. Everyone here has witnessed it, including us. We cannot and will not deny this.

But whether you can leave Italy with this classic oil painting and return to New York is not certain. If this painting is really important, we may put it on the list of restricted art from leaving the country.

Once you are restricted from leaving the country, you can only collect or trade this painting in Italy, and you must not take it out of Italy, and the next owner is the same, you cannot take it out of Italy.

Let's not talk about this, we still have a lot of doubts about this classical oil painting, Steven, can you continue to explain it to everyone? Let's really see the value of this painting! "

As soon as Pizarro's words fell, many onlookers at the scene immediately responded.

"Yes, Steven, continue to explain this painting to everyone, we are still confused!"

"Steven, don't forget the market value of this painting. It must be worth a lot if it is announced in public, right?"

All of a sudden, the scene became extremely noisy and lively, and everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations.

This does not include the poor stall owner, that guy is now ashamed, his eyes are full of anger and despair, nothing else!

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then raised his hands and pressed down gently, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

When the scene became quieter, he smiled and said loudly:

"As we all know, Botticelli is the last famous painter of the Florentine School in the early Renaissance and a top art master. He is recognized as the prelude of the three masters of fine arts, Raphael.

In the Uffizi Museum, a series of Botticelli's most famous and outstanding representative works are collected, such as "Spring", "The Birth of Venus", "The Advent of the Three Magi" and so on.

In addition to being the last major painter of the Florentine School, Botticelli was also deeply influenced by Dutch portraits and was a pioneer of Italian portraits. His most famous portrait is "The Madonna and Child".

In the painting in front of you, we can see the style of the Florentine school of painting, as well as the influence brought by the portraits of the Netherlands. In the early Renaissance, only Botticelli painted like this.

The next thing is simple. We can use high-tech detection methods to detect the canvas and mineral pigments of this oil painting, so as to determine its accurate age, and then determine the identity of the creator.

According to my judgment, this painting was painted in the early 1580s, when Botticelli was the most famous painter in Florence and the peak of his artistic career, and was admired by countless people.

Through high-tech detection methods, as long as it can be determined that the painting was created in the early 1580s, combined with the characteristics shown on the painting, its creator can basically be determined.

Looking at the painting technique again, if you observe carefully, this portrait of a character has many similarities with Botticelli's "Pallas and Centaurus" created in 1483 in terms of characters."

Hearing this, some knowledgeable people at the scene couldn't help but nodded, obviously agreeing with Ye Tian's explanation very much.

At the same time, the envy and even jealousy in people's eyes became more intense. Everyone wished they could replace Ye Tian and own this top-notch work of art!

Of course, this does not include the poor stall owner, who only has endless despair and anger in his eyes.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"After talking about the artistic style and painting techniques, let's talk about the problem of the paint in this painting. It is these faded and discolored paints that make this painting greatly depreciated and no one cares about it.

But it may seem paradoxical that the most precious thing about this Botticelli classic oil painting is precisely because of these pigments, and you will understand why after listening to the explanation.

As we all know, the predecessor of oil painting was European tempera painting before the fifteenth century. For example, Botticelli's most famous work, "Spring", is a famous tempera painting.

After entering the fifteenth century, after the famous Dutch painter Jan van Eyck improved and carried forward the painting materials, oil paintings and corresponding pigments appeared and gradually became popular.

It was already in the second half of the fifteenth century that the creation of oil painting spread to Florence. That was when Botticelli was in full swing, and this trend naturally affected him as well.

Coupled with his admiration for the portraits of the Netherlands, it can be said that the influence and impact of oil painting, a form of artistic creation, on him is far greater than that of other painters of the same period.

Botticelli, who was first exposed to oil painting as a form of artistic creation, must have a learning process, from painting techniques to the blending and proportioning of pigments, etc., all must be learned and researched.

The painting in front of me is a work created by Botticelli during his studies. The painting technique is a bit jerky, and he doesn't know much about paints. There are problems with harmony and matching.

It is for this reason that the painting is in such a state of fading and discoloration, not only because of poor maintenance, but mainly because of Botticelli's inexperience.

Through this painting, we can see the process of Botticelli learning the creative form of oil painting, and we can also see the initial development history of oil painting in Italy, just like witnessing it with our own eyes.

From this point of view, this classical oil painting is particularly important, and its importance is no less than one of the treasures of the Uffizi Museum, Botticelli's representative work, "Spring"

Having said that, a painter on the scene suddenly asked loudly:

"Steven, what you said seems to make sense, but how do you prove it? If it is true, then this classical oil painting must be a priceless treasure, and its value is no less than "Spring""

Ye Tian looked at the artist, then smiled and said loudly:

"How to prove my statement? It's not difficult. Later we will go to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts to appreciate Michelangelo's authentic works, "David" and other top antique works of art.

When I get there, I will offer to study this classical oil painting with the Florence Academy of Fine Arts. I believe they will not refuse. With the strength of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, this is not difficult.

It won't be long before the results of the research will come out. I am extremely confident in my eyesight and judgment. The results of high-tech testing are absolutely consistent with my appraisal conclusion. Let's wait and see!

Let’s talk about the most concerned issue, the valuation of this classical oil painting. Although the condition of this painting is not very good, it must be of extraordinary value because of its particularity and its status in art history.

Combining the above factors and the current market of antique art, I value this Botticelli's classical oil painting at 80 million euros, which is not too low! "

Not surprisingly, the scene was completely boiling in an instant, and the entire Michelangelo Square was completely boiling.

Just when people were shocked and hugged their heads and exclaimed, no one noticed that there was another tourist with a backpack on the square, no different from other tourists.

The guy who quietly appeared was none other than Bowie. He just received a message from Ye Tian and came to sweep Michelangelo Square!
