Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 893: The Preview Begins
While Ye Tian stretched out his hand to gesture, two cultural and museum personnel of the Forbidden City on the outermost right side of the exhibition area carefully put away a screen, revealing an ancient painting hanging on the rear display shelf.
This is an ancient painting on a vertical scroll, with ink and wash landscapes on paper. In the picture, the mountains are clear and the lake is rippling. The beautiful and moving scenery of the Jiangnan water town is fascinating.
On the broad lake, three or four water chestnut picking girls shuttle back and forth in small boats, constantly picking water chestnuts from the calm lake water, which is very vivid and peaceful.
On the hillside near the picture, there are three or four weeping willows and a few dead trees. From the trunks with sparse branches and leaves, it can be seen that this is the season of water chestnut ripening in deep autumn.
There is a mountain in the distance, not as tall and steep as the northern mountains, but rolling and rolling, showing a bit of the spirit of the south of the Yangtze River.
Among the forests at the foot of the mountain, several villages can be vaguely seen, with small bridges and flowing water, like a paradise.
The whole painting is mainly dyed with ochre, which is quite autumnal. The brush is evenly thin, the rocks are covered with hemp, and the wicker is drooping.
In the blank space on the upper right of this painting, there is an inscription of "Human Moon Circle Ci", the calligraphy is very wonderful, flamboyant and phoenix dancing, unique, and the end of the word is the artist's signature and seal.
There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece, definitely worth a lot of money!
The moment they saw this ink landscape painting, the eyes of many people at the scene lit up, and the ecstatic expressions quickly appeared on everyone's faces.
Although the distance is a bit far, under the lens of the high-definition camera and on the big screen behind the exhibition area, this ink landscape is completely presented in front of everyone, and it is extremely clear!
It can be seen from everyone's reactions and expressions that many people at the scene recognized this ancient painting and knew its origin.
"I'm going! It turned out to be this painting, it's too surprising! This kid Ye Tian has hands and eyes! How did he get this painting? It's unbelievable!"
"Who knows! Let alone this ancient painting, I wouldn't be surprised even if he took out Yan Liben's "Picture of Emperors of Past Dynasties"! This is an omnipotent guy!"
Amidst the discussion, Ye Tian's voice came to everyone's ears again, and they were quite proud of it.
"This is the first antique calligraphy and painting exhibited in today's preview! How is it? This ancient painting should be considered a top-level work of art, right?
Everyone here is a senior expert in the antique business,
The eyesight is definitely nothing to say, it is absolutely extremely sharp! I believe many people have recognized this ancient painting!
That's right, this is the painting of Shen Zhou, the master of painting in the Ming Dynasty, the founder of the Wumen School of Painting, and one of the four masters of the Ming Dynasty. It is "Cai Ling Tu" created when he was forty years old.
Let's take a closer look at the "Man Moon Circle Ci" on the upper right part of the painting. The end of the word is clearly written with the inscription of Ishida Sheng. Ishida is Shen Zhou's name in middle age, and everyone knows it!
In addition, the red seal on that side also came from Shen Zhou, there is no doubt about it! We can see this seal on many paintings of Shen Zhou in this period, which is easy to verify! "
Before he finished speaking, everyone at the scene had already given a positive response, very enthusiastic.
"This "Picture of Picking Ling Ling" is of course a top-level work of art, and that is Shen Zhou! One of the famous four masters of the Ming Dynasty, and the leader of the Wu School of Painting!"
"Although this painting has not been in China before, there are definitely not a few people who have admired this painting. Among them, there are a few who have personally identified this ancient painting. Can you not recognize it?
From the big screen, all the details of the "Picture of Harvesting Watermelon" on the display shelf are in line with everyone's perception, and it is very likely to be the original painting. Of course, this needs further identification! "
"Ye Tian, you are amazing, how did you get this ancient painting? Tell me quickly, everyone wants to hear the story, why don't we have such good luck!"
There was a lot of discussion in the exhibition hall, and it was very lively.
While appreciating this ancient painting intoxicatedly, everyone looked at Ye Tian with envy, even jealousy!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:
"As for the authenticity of Shen Zhou's "Picture of Cailing", everyone can rest assured, I can say with absolute certainty that this is 100% Shen Zhou's original work, there is no doubt about it!
This painting has been kept in the Tokyo National Museum, Japan, and it is one of the fine collections of Chinese calligraphy and painting in that museum. As for the reason why it was lost overseas, everyone is very clear.
During a previous treasure hunt in Boston, I found two paintings by a famous Japanese painter. It was with those two ancient Japanese paintings that I exchanged for this "Picture of Harvesting Water chestnuts".
In exchange for the same batch, there are several other ancient paintings. As you will see later, the other party of this transaction is the Tokyo National Museum of Japan. The source is legal and well-documented!
Of course, the Japanese devils may not believe it! In order to avoid being tricked by those devils, I made a very detailed and comprehensive scientific appraisal the first time I received these ancient paintings!
The results of the appraisal are very certain. These ancient paintings are all authentic works. They are from the hands of several ancient Chinese art masters. The artistic value is extraordinary and the market value is also quite high!
Regarding this point, later everyone can come up to appreciate and appraise it by themselves, and make a choice to decide whether to make a move tomorrow, beat other competitors, and take this famous painting! "
Before the voice fell, someone at the scene asked impatiently and loudly:
"Xiaoye, let me tell you the approximate price of this painting "Picture of Harvesting Watermelon"! Let us have a mental preparation, to be honest, I like this ancient painting very much, and I really want to take it!"
The one who asked was an entrepreneur and billionaire from Zhejiang, and a frequent visitor on the Forbes list!
The picture depicted in this "Picture of Cai Ling" is exactly the scenery of the Jiangnan water town with lakes and mountains.
Ye Tian raised his eyes to look at the billionaire, then smiled and said:
"Mr. Cao, your vision is great! This is a top-notch work of art, which is very worth collecting. It can not only enhance the taste, but also a very good investment! It has the function of maintaining and increasing value.
But I'm very sorry, I can't disclose the starting price of this painting! Don't worry, after the auction starts tomorrow, you will know the specific starting price, which must be within your tolerance.
In today's preview, we only appreciate these antique artworks and feel the charm of traditional culture. That is the most beautiful thing. It is not suitable to talk about money at this time, it is too unpleasant to talk about money! "
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.
"Talking about money is too ugly? Did I hear you right? Xiaoye, isn't your kid always known for being cruel and ruthless at auctions? When did you become so noble?"
"That's right! With your kid's behavior, I'm afraid you have already sharpened your sword and are ready to kill us all, right?"
Everyone at the scene joked and said, directly exposing Ye Tian's old background.
Having said that, I know that the kid on the stage will not spare everyone lightly, but everyone present is full of fighting spirit and confidence, and they are ready for a crazy fight!
The first painting is Shen Zhou from the Ming family. God knows what shocking baby will appear next! Don't even think about it, it must be a priceless national treasure antique artwork.
So many top-level antique works of art appear together, this opportunity is absolutely once in a lifetime! Who wants to miss it? Who is willing to miss it? Unless the brain is squeezed by the door!
What is money compared to top-notch antique art? It's just a set of numbers lying on the bank account number! Beyond a certain amount, it doesn't make any sense!
After a few jokes, Ye Tian started to introduce the second antique artwork.
This time it is a calligraphy work, medium in size, by Zhao Mengfu, a famous calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhao Mengfu, a famous calligrapher, painter, and poet in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and the eleventh grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the greatest and most famous calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty, was one of the four masters of regular script called "Zhao Ti" and "Cheng Cheng".
As expected, as soon as this calligraphy work by Zhao Mengfu appeared, before Ye Tian started to explain it, the scene was completely boiling, and there was a lot of exclamations.
Especially those cultural experts who study ancient calligraphy works, experts in antique art appraisal, and collectors who prefer calligraphy, their eyeballs are about to explode!
