Treasure Hunt all over the World

After leaving Tony's gallery and walking along the arched colonnade for about ten meters, David couldn't bear the strong curiosity anymore, and asked Ye Tian in a low voice:

"Steven, that baroque landscape oil painting, which art master is it? How much is it worth? A work of art worth 60,000 euros, I believe it is not enough to impress you.

Since you took down the oil painting without hesitation and used a realistic landscape painting as a cover, then I can basically be sure that the baroque oil painting must be a top-level work of art!

Now that we have left Tony's gallery, we don't have to worry about leaks. Let me tell you about the Baroque landscape oil painting. I believe everyone wants to know the answer to this question! "

Following David's words, Jason and the others all looked at Ye Tian, ​​expecting his answer.

Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then smiled and whispered:

"You guessed it right, the baroque landscape oil painting was indeed made by a famous artist, and there is a wonderful but sad story hidden behind it.

I can tell you about my appraisal conclusion, but I can’t here, don’t forget, we are followed by many Italian cultural relics gendarmes, and the situation of this painting must be hidden from those guys.

If those guys know that this is a priceless top-level artwork, with Italy's policy against top-level antique artwork, no one will even think about leaving Italy with this painting!

Let's go to the square outside the colonnade, everyone open the bulletproof umbrellas to block the view of the Italian antiquities gendarmes, and then I will introduce you to this baroque landscape painting! "

Hearing this, David and Jason all laughed heartily.

Afterwards, Ye Tian led these guys out of the colonnade and into the snowflakes flying all over the sky again.

Immediately afterwards, each of them opened the bulletproof umbrella in their hands, blocking the sight of others, and then strolled forward, seeming obsessed with the feeling of walking in the snow.

After taking cover, Ye Tian began to explain the baroque painting that he had just collected.

"Tony the gallery owner has just said that he believes this baroque landscape was painted in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries by an unknown but highly skilled artist.

And he thinks the painting style shown in this painting,

It looks very similar to the master artist Rembrandt, but it is specious. In the use of light and dark light, this painter is obviously much more extreme than Rembrandt.

Specifically in the painting, this painting does not seem to have the sense of stability and solemnity that Rembrandt's works usually have. Instead, the theme is very dark, giving people a feeling of sadness and even despair.

In addition, the painting has no author's signature and no specific date of creation. For these reasons, Tony believes that this painting is not the work of Rembrandt, but an unknown painter.

However, Tony only saw the surface and didn't see anything deeper, so his identification was completely wrong. I'm sure that this baroque oil painting is definitely an authentic Rembrandt.

According to my judgment, the time when Rembrandt created this painting should be between 1642 and 1650. The theme shown in the painting has never appeared in other Rembrandt paintings and is unique.

In the history of Western art, this painting has a very important position, its value is immeasurable, and its value is not even lower than Rembrandt's most famous masterpiece, the "Night Watch" which is regarded as an invaluable treasure! "

Before the words fell, David and the others immediately exclaimed in a low voice.

"I knew it! Steven, you guys will never focus on a work of art worth 60,000 euros in your eyes, as expected! This painting is indeed a top-notch work of art that is priceless!"

"Oh my god! The value is comparable to the so-called priceless Rembrandt masterpiece, "Night Watch", am I right? Doesn't it mean that this Baroque painting is worth at least several hundred million dollars, which is amazing!"

Exclamations kept ringing out one after another, everyone was completely shocked by the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, ​​and everyone was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, everyone has opened the bulletproof umbrellas to block the view of the surrounding area, and there are a large number of security personnel guarding the periphery, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets.

If not, once those Italian cultural relics gendarmes saw their exaggerated expressions, they might immediately guess that this painting is definitely a top-level work of art, and then they would be in trouble!

After some exclamation, David asked curiously in a low voice:

"Steven, I still don't quite understand why the style of this painting shows a sense of despair? I have also admired a lot of Rembrandt's works, and there is no such situation in other works."

Ye Tian turned his head to look at this guy, then smiled and said in a low voice:

"Yes, this is not the case in all the other Rembrandt paintings, where the use of light and dark light is more harmonious, and in those paintings one seems to be able to see the light from the darkness.

But in this painting, people only see endless darkness, only sadness and despair. Of course, there is a reason for this, and it is a sad story!

This starts with the "Night Watch", which is known as the priceless treasure. As we all know, that painting is a group portrait custom-made for Rembrandt by sixteen security shooters in Amsterdam.

However, when Rembrandt painstakingly completed the masterpiece, the sixteen vulgar security shooters were very dissatisfied, thinking that Rembrandt had not balanced their status.

They didn't understand Rembrandt's unique artistic expression technique of contrasting light and dark. Instead, they thought that the characters in the painting were different in light and dark, as well as in different sizes, which was an insult to some of them.

Those stupid security gunmen not only refused to accept the painting, but took Rembrandt to court, and there was a lot of trouble at the time, and the whole of Amsterdam laughed at Rembrandt.

At that time, some people even cursed Rembrandt viciously, saying that he would be doomed to face the hopeless situation that no one would buy paintings, and the rest of his life would be poor. Even if he died, he would be buried like a beggar!

Because of this incident, no one came to ask Rembrandt to paint group portraits anymore. Coupled with the extravagance of his wife and brothers, Rembrandt's life situation began to take a turn for the worse.

But who would have thought that after more than a hundred years, people in Amsterdam discovered that the whole world regards Rembrandt as the top art master, and his status is not inferior to the art masters of the Renaissance!

As for the masterpiece that attracted countless ridicules and was rejected by sixteen Amsterdam security shooters, "Night Watch" has become a national treasure of the Netherlands and is hailed as a priceless treasure! "

Hearing this, David and Jason nodded lightly. They somewhat knew about the famous priceless treasure "Night Watch" and the story behind it!

While nodding, everyone sighed secretly.

This is a perfect example of what is the secret casting of pearls.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"It was during those days when countless people laughed at Rembrandt that he suffered another serious blow. His wife died shortly after giving birth to his last son, Titus!

Rembrandt and his wife had four children, but only Titus survived, and the rest all died. To take care of this young son, he invited an uneducated young village woman to be a nanny.

The village woman's name was Hendrick. Shortly after she came to Rembrandt's house, the young village woman became Rembrandt's mistress and gave birth to a daughter for him, which was not accepted by people at the time.

Once the news came out, the whole of Amsterdam was completely excited. People thought their relationship was a scandal and a kind of confession. The local church even officially condemned it as a "sinful life".

At the time, the entire bourgeoisie of Amsterdam was in a state of excitement about a chance to splash dirty water on a noble soul, everyone was watching the show, everyone was laughing at Rembrandt.

The local Calvinist priest also began to condemn Rembrandt's lover Hendrick, which triggered another more violent storm. Since then, no one has asked Rembrandt to paint.

Then, only various creditors began to collect debts, and Rembrandt's life became more difficult, and this difficulty continued throughout the rest of Rembrandt's life, without any improvement.

In Rembrandt's later years, one of his paintings could only be sold for one hundred Dutch coins. From then on, a noble soul sank, and the once glorious Dutch painting school began to decline.

According to my judgment, the baroque landscape painting found today should have been created in the era when Rembrandt was attacked and ridiculed by everyone, and it is the only one.

Rembrandt in that period had no hope in life, only endless darkness, and his whole body was completely shrouded in despair, all of which are reflected in this painting!

The reason why I say that the value of this landscape oil painting is no less than "Night Watch" is because it represents the darkest period in Rembrandt's life and the sinking of a noble soul!

It is also the beginning and symbol of the decline of the Dutch School of Painting, and has a unique position in the history of art. The sadness and despair it shows can be regarded as the elegy of the Dutch School of Painting!

Of course, these appraisal conclusions still need to be supported by evidence, but I believe that more evidence will be found on this unique Rembrandt work to support my appraisal conclusion! "

When speaking of the last few sentences, Ye Tian's tone was extremely firm and full of confidence.

Of course, he knew in his heart what secrets were hidden in this painting, and whether it could prove his appraisal conclusion and prove the great value of this painting.

At this time, David and the others were all fascinated by what they heard, and each of them was fascinated, nodding frequently.

How can they have any doubts about the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian!

There is no doubt that this baroque landscape oil painting must be an authentic work by Rembrandt, another priceless treasure without a doubt!
