Treasure Hunt all over the World

After walking five or six steps down the steps, Ye Tian stopped again, turned to face the wall, and looked at a painting hanging on the wall.

It was an oil painting on canvas, about 80*70 in size. The artistic style was early Baroque, and it was also covered with a glass cover, which was well protected.

Seeing Ye Tian stopped, Martinez and Walker who followed behind could only stop, standing on different steps, curiously watching the painting in front.

Due to their location, they could only see part of the oil painting from the side, not the entire painting.

The people in front of the live broadcaster were different. With the help of the high-definition camera that Ye Tian carried with him, they could see the oil on canvas clearly.

Just like Raphael's Virgin Mary before, this is also a portrait of a person. It depicts an elegant and dignified aristocratic woman in a gorgeous dress, smiling, staring outside the painting.

The whole painting has bright colors and strong contrast between light and dark. Each line seems to be flowing, full of movement, free and easy brushwork, perfect composition, and a strong overall sense.

Everyone who sees this painting can feel the painter's love and praise for life, feel the painter's abundant feelings and passionate attitude towards life!

There is no doubt that this is another top antique artwork, with a lot of artistic value and market value.

But this is the work of that master artist? Except for the top art appraisal experts, most people on the live broadcast terminal do not know, they can only hope that Ye Tian will give the answer!

Martinez, standing on the next steps, also wanted to know the answer to this question.

"Steven, who did this portrait of a person come from? How valuable is it? Can you tell us something? Everyone wants to know about this oil painting!"

Ye Tian looked back at the old friend, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Respect is worse than fate, let me tell you about this oil on canvas, this painting was made by the famous Flanders painter in the 17th century and the early representative of Baroque Peter Rubens!

From the characteristics of this oil on canvas, it can be seen that Rubens created this portrait at the peak of his artistic career, around 1620.

The reason why I made such a judgment is simple, because the model of this oil on canvas, that is, the European lady in the painting, is Rubens’ wife, Brandt!

Around 1609, Rubens returned to his hometown of Flanders, and soon after he married Brandt, he settled in Antwerp and lived a luxurious and stable life.

After the marriage, he used his wife Brandt as a model and painted many famous portraits. Most of these portraits are now collected in major museums in Europe and the United States. It is not difficult for everyone to see!

The portrait in front of you is one of them. From Brandt’s appearance, you can easily tell the year Rubens created this oil on canvas, and the error will never exceed two years."

Hearing this, Martinez standing behind and many professionals on the live broadcast can't help but nod their heads, agreeing with Ye Tian's judgment.

As the wife of the famous painter Rubens, Brandt has only worked as a model for his husband in his life. As long as it is a portrait of her, it must be Rubens's work, absolutely never run!

And everyone is familiar with Brandt's image. As long as you have a little research on Rubens' art, it is impossible to admit your mistakes and identification is not difficult!

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"It was during this period of living in Antwerp that Rubens was actively involved in creation and gradually formed his own unique artistic style, and reached the peak of his artistic career, becoming famous in Europe.

If I am not mistaken, this Rubens masterpiece was kept in Antwerp before the 19th century. After Napoleon conquered Flanders, this painting became his trophy.

Regarding the market value of this painting, I can only give a rough estimate, which is different from other Rubens paintings on the market. After all, this painting has disappeared for more than two hundred years, so it is difficult to evaluate!

It is also the work of Rubens at the peak of his art. Another painting he created in Antwerp in 1613, "Lot and His Daughters", was sold for a sky-high price of US$58 million.

In 2002, Sotheby's London also shot a painting of Rubens at his peak, the famous "The Massacre of the Innocent", which was sold for a sky-high price of £49.7 million.

Taking the transaction prices of these two famous paintings as a reference, combined with inflationary factors and the super-high quality of the painting itself, I valued it at $65 million, which is only low and not high! "

Before the voice was over, countless live broadcasts had been completely detonated!

"I'll go! 65 million dollars, another sky-high-priced work of art. It's crazy. Napoleon ransacked the whole of Europe together, but in the end he got the guy Steven for nothing!"

"It's no wonder that this guy Steven was so generous. He casually sent out two paintings by the three masters of Renaissance art. It doesn't seem to be distressed at all!

It turns out that every antique artwork in this underground secret room is a valuable treasure. If I had such a treasure, I would definitely be more generous than him! "

When people were talking about it, as far away as Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and Antwerp, many people's eyes were red.

One by one, they stared at the painting on the live screen, wishing they could rush into the TV screen, grab the painting directly into their arms and claim it for themselves!

In particular, some of Ye Tian's old friends, such as the director of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Maitlink, took out their mobile phones directly and prepared to contact Anderson, claiming this world famous painting that has disappeared for more than two hundred years!

Of course, they knew very well in their hearts that they wanted to take advantage of Steven's bastard. Basically there was no possibility, but they still had to do it!

If the claim is useless, you can only raise real money and negotiate a deal with that greedy bastard!

After the explanation, Ye Tian took another look at this Rubens masterpiece, then stepped out and continued to walk down.

On the wall not far in front, there is also a painting hanging!

In fact, he won't be able to leave. The old Martinez can't wait to walk down, ready to admire this Rubens masterpiece!

After all, the width of the steps is limited, and everyone is carrying backpacks and other things.

Walking down four or five steps, Ye Tian stopped again and turned around, and began to admire another painting hanging on the wall.

After just watching for four or five seconds, Martinez's excited voice suddenly came from above.

"Yes, this is Rubens's peak work. Brandt's image during this period has also appeared in another portrait of Rubens created for her.

Steven, this Rubens painting is indeed from Antwerp, and it is clearly recorded in related documents. I did not expect it to be hidden here for more than two hundred years! "

Ye Tian turned his head and looked up, then smiled and said:

"Martinez~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is not only Raphael, Rubens, but also Dürer on this wall. The painting in front of me is a masterpiece of Dürer, which is very rare. !"

Upon hearing this, Martinez exclaimed immediately.

"What? Dürer's paintings? Are they woodcut prints, watercolor landscape paintings, or other types of paintings?"

While asking loudly, Martinez wanted to step down and take a closer look at the works of the artist Dürer, better than being addicted to his eyes!

But he was reluctant to bear the Rubens painting in front of him, and fell into a dilemma for a while.

But this kind of happy trouble has made the envy of many people in front of the live broadcaster red. I want to take Martinez instead and experience this trouble for myself!

"It's not a woodcut print, nor is it Dürer's best watercolor landscape painting, but an oil painting on canvas, so I say it is very rare!"

Ye Tian smiled and said loudly, continuing to hang Martinez's appetite.
