At the bottom left of the first hidden space, Tony and the others found another hidden space.

In comparison, this secret compartment is a bit larger and longer, and it was also pulled out from the wall, and there was also a cylindrical object wrapped in a moisture-proof tarpaulin inside.

The first time they saw this object, everyone was basically sure that it should be an oil painting, but the scale was a little bigger. I don't know which artist's work it is, and how much it is worth.

Hearing Tony's voice, Ye Tian and David immediately turned around and looked at the newly discovered secret compartment. Everyone was surprised.

Next, Ye Tian boarded the ladder again, checked the situation of the newly discovered hidden compartment, and then carefully took out the things placed in the hidden compartment.

After getting down from the ladder, he first told Tony and the others to continue tearing down the walls. They must be careful during the process, and if they find anything, they should notify themselves as soon as possible.

Immediately afterwards, he took the two items he had just discovered, led David and the others out of this room, and walked to a room next door, where he was going to open the two items.

After entering the next room, Ye Tian didn't immediately open the two items wrapped in tarpaulins, but asked people to close the curtains to prevent the afternoon sun from directly shining on these two items.

If these two items are really oil paintings, since they have been placed in a dark and oxygen-free dark space for a long time, once they are exposed to sunlight, the pigments on the oil paintings will inevitably undergo some reactions and even fade quickly.

Moreover, this kind of loss is irreversible. In order to avoid it as much as possible, protective measures must be taken.

As the curtains were drawn and the lights were not turned on, the light in the room suddenly dimmed a lot. Fortunately, it was daytime, and the light conditions were not bad, which did not affect the appreciation and appraisal of oil paintings.

After making corresponding preparations, Ye Tian came to the center of the room, put the two items in his hand on the table, and prepared to open them one by one.

At this time, David, Bishop of Kent, Giovanni and other Italians, as well as representatives from various parties, had gathered around the table, staring at the two items on the table, everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, and full of expectation.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, next I will open these two items that have been hidden in the hidden compartment of the wall for more than two hundred years. Before that, I still need to remind you of some things.

No matter what these two items are, which top artist's work they are, and how precious they are, please control your emotions and don't get too excited.

These two items have been hidden for more than 200 years, and have never been seen during this period. From the perspective of protection, they cannot be displayed for too long. I hope everyone can understand.

More importantly, no matter how excited you are, you can't start appraising without permission, so as to avoid accidents and irreparable losses.

After today, when these two items gradually adapt to the external environment, and after we have done some technical processing, everyone will have plenty of time to slowly appreciate and study them.”

"Understood, Steven, these are necessary protective measures, we have no objection"

The director of the Brera Art Museum continued, and everyone else nodded.

Ye Tian also nodded, and then started to do it.

He casually took the item he found in the first dark compartment, first carefully checked the appearance, then gently pulled the gray ribbon tied outside, and took off the upper and lower ribbons one by one.

Next, he began to disassemble the black tarpaulin, his movements were extremely gentle.

In just a moment, he uncovered the tarpaulins wrapped around this item one by one.

When the last layer of moisture-proof tarpaulin was uncovered, the contents wrapped in it were finally presented to everyone.

This object, which has been hidden for more than two hundred years, has now been rediscovered and appeared in front of the world again.

As you might expect,

This is a rolled up oil painting, small in size, lying quietly on the table.

Because it took too long to roll up, although the outer constraints no longer exist, the oil painting did not open automatically, and still kept the rolled up appearance.

"Wow! It's really an oil painting, but I don't know which artist's work it is"

"Judging from the traces on the back of the canvas, this oil painting seems to be very old, it should be earlier than the 18th century, maybe it was a work of the Renaissance"

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone was very excited and expressed their opinions.

Ye Tian took a closer look at the painting, changed into a new pair of gloves, and then gently picked up the oil painting.

"Gentlemen, this oil painting has been rolled up for too long. Once it is opened, some paint chips will fall off. This is inevitable. I hope the damage caused by this will not be too great."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded without any objection.

At the same time, Ye Tian has slowly opened the oil painting, slowly flattened it, and spread it on the table.

During this process, a little bit of paint flakes did come off the screen and landed on the table. Fortunately, there were not many paint flakes that fell off, so I was lucky!

The collector who had previously hidden the oil painting inside the wall covered the picture with a layer of white linen to protect the oil painting when it was rolled up.

Because of this, although Ye Tian unfolded the oil painting, everyone did not see the content of the picture.

Faced with this situation, everyone couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and became more curious and looking forward to the content of this oil painting.

Next, Ye Tian picked up the tools he had prepared, pressed the two ends of the oil painting, and carefully peeled off the white linen!

Following his movements, this oil painting that had disappeared for more than two hundred years finally appeared before everyone.

The next moment, the scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone was attracted by the oil painting on the table, and all of them stared at the oil painting with rounded eyes.

This is an oil painting with religious themes. It is a story from the Bible, "Escape from Egypt".

Due to the age and the fact that it has been hidden inside the wall for a long time and isolated from the outside world, the surface of this oil painting has suffered from many cracks, and the paint has faded or even peeled off in some places.

Fortunately, these damages are not serious, do not affect the overall picture, and have little impact on the value of this oil painting!

Like everyone else at the scene, Ye Tian was also stunned the first time he saw this oil painting!

Of course, he was acting, just to make everything look more reasonable.

After a while, the silence at the scene was broken by bursts of exclamation and emotion.

"My God! This is "Escape from Egypt". Judging from the artistic style of this oil painting, it should be in the early Baroque style, and this painter's painting skills are very brilliant!"

"Gentlemen, do you think this oil painting does not look like the work of Caravaggio, the founder of Baroque art and a top art master? But as far as I know, Caravaggio does not have such a work!"

Just when everyone was amazed, Ye Tian suddenly smiled and said loudly:

"Yes, this is the work of Caravaggio, the founder of Baroque art. The reason why his "Escape to Egypt" is unknown is simple. This oil painting has disappeared for more than two hundred years and has long been forgotten. !"

Before the words fell, the scene immediately boiled!
