Chapter 298 Chariot Map

There is no explanation, not even the name of this ancient painting.

The host simply and directly announced the start of the 10-minute timer, and 10 minutes later the official bidding.

This is really the first time Lin Feng has encountered such a direct and rude auction.

However, the other guests in the audience were obviously used to it. They immediately started discussing quietly with the people around them, and frequently cast their determined glances at the ancient paintings on the stage.

Even Mu Yunkang was a little moved.

Because this first auction item is a very famous painting in China, "Stepping Chariot" by Master Yan Liben of the Tang Dynasty.

As long as you glance at it, you can intuitively see the "Painting Chariot Picture" painted on silk on the stage, which is about 130 centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide.

There is not too much scene rendering in the whole work, and more strokes are placed on the depiction of characters, and the composition is very simple and clear.

There are two groups of characters in the picture of "Buying Chariot" very distinctly. On the left is a group of envoys who came to visit, and on the right is Emperor Taizong of Tang and a group of maids carrying steps.

Sitting on the steps, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty is outlined in this work. His grace, luxury and calmness fully demonstrate the demeanor and majesty of a generation of kings in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, the emperor was surrounded by maids with calm expressions and various postures. The figures of these maids revealed their delicate and delicate beauty, which contrasted with Taizong in the middle, which further highlighted Taizong's majesty. Mastery and concentration.

The large fan and canopy matching the chariot are also carefully outlined on the painting. These detailed tools are used to highlight the majesty of the king and emphasize the focus of the painting.

Looking at the three figures on the left, the two people standing in the front and last are both holding wat boards, but one is wearing red and the other is wearing white robe.

The man in the middle has a humble, solemn and polite expression, and is wearing a floral robe similar to a mesh. It can be seen that his vigorous character is simple and rough. The author even outlines the wrinkles on this person's forehead and the corners of his eyes in detail. It shows the person's intelligence and rich experience.

In fact, anyone who knows a little bit knows that this work not only reaches a peak in painting skills, but also has special significance in history.

The real category of this work should be a historical story and figure painting. It depicts Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty receiving the Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan to pay homage and discuss the marriage between Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo.

The historical story of Princess Wencheng's marriage has been passed down through the ages. It was precisely because it was a major diplomatic matter at that time that Tang Taizong ordered technicians to record it in detail.

Therefore, this "Picture of a Walking Chariot" has a double meaning and its price is immeasurable.

The first lot was a treasure of this level, and the atmosphere in the audience became warmer as time went by.

Mu Yunkang usually likes to collect such legendary works. Before 10 minutes have passed, he is already thinking about how much money he will spend to bid.

However, the memory of Lin Feng suddenly appeared in his mind, claiming that the "Manuscript of Memorial to Nephew" was a fake. Mu Yunkang's eyes were subconsciously directed at Lin Feng, and he asked cautiously.

"Lin Feng, what do you think of this "Pedestrian Picture", if I want to bid, how much is it worth?"

"The overall picture of "The Walking Chariot" created by Master Yan Liben is elegant and gorgeous, and the outline of the characters is smooth, round and vigorous. The composition is well-proportioned and full of changes. It is a representative work of Tang Dynasty painting and has precious historical and artistic value. , a work worthy of becoming a national treasure.

However, the one on stage is not the real thing. "

Lin Feng said with certainty, his eyes clear and without hesitation.

The comments and praises at the beginning reflected Lin Feng's profound knowledge, and the tone of his subsequent judgments was even more calm and decisive, which made people feel convinced.

However, Mu Yunkang looked at the paintings on the stand again, and couldn't see anything wrong no matter what.

Holding his breath, Mu Yunkang continued to ask Lin Feng why.

"What! You can't read it wrong, kid? This painting has delicate brush strokes, simple composition, round and smooth lines, capable and tough, and it is obvious that the author has proficient painting skills. How did you start from How can you be sure it's not genuine?"

Lin Feng's questioning of Mu Yunkang was still in the same calm posture, his eyes narrowed, he walked through the painting on the stage, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and spoke to Mu Yunkang.

"I believe that seniors are also very clear. The identification of ancient paintings has never been about how similar it is to the real thing, but about the story background behind the work, the author's character and painting habits, as well as the real social details of that historical period. .

There is no doubt about the creation background of this painting, but the color of "Pedestrian Chariot" is actually red as the main color of the picture, which is to highlight the lively, happy and peaceful atmosphere in it.

At the same time, there is not much red in the picture, so that through contrast, the emperor can be shown to be noble in yellow.

But the painting on the stage cannot see the extreme ingenuity of the details. The red color used is too bright, which inevitably overwhelms the guest. "

Lin Feng noticed that Mu Yunkang's expression had softened, so he immediately pointed out the next flaw.

"The master Yan Liben is best at fine brushwork. The expressions of the characters in his paintings are vivid and powerful. Moreover, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, painters always painted while standing, so the angle and intensity of the strokes were extremely special, making parts of his works smudged. , but very three-dimensional.

But the one on the stage, although it can be seen that the color is dense and mellow, but it always has a flat visual effect. Large areas of red and green blocks are arranged in an interlaced manner, which will appear chaotic under the immature brushwork. annoying. "

Lin Feng made such a detailed analysis, there was nothing obscure and difficult to understand, and even Ye Xiaotong who didn't know much about it could see a few differences in what Lin Feng said.

Mu Yunkang put back his doubts at the beginning, and began to think about the rationality and authenticity of Lin Feng's explanation.

After thinking about it like this, when Mu Yunkang cast his eyes on the stage again, he lost his initial excitement and joy, but became a little more rational and sober.

The appearance of handed down paintings will inevitably make the person you like ignore some minor things that are wrong.

However, as long as someone reaches out and gently pushes away the clouds and mist, the truth will be revealed immediately.

"Therefore, the "Picture of Walking Chariots" on the stage is similar in shape but different in spirit, and the technique is mature but not detailed enough to restore it. It should be an imitation of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although it has some value, it is far from the real one, so there is no need to collect it. gone."
