Treasure Hunt all over the World

The third thousand one hundred and eighty-seventh chapter covert signature

Although the antique shop owner hesitated, he finally shook hands with Ye Tian and concluded the art transaction.

Next, Ye Tian happily paid $80,000 for the goods and won these four Andalusian landscape oil paintings.

After completing the transaction, he asked for a few more telescopic painting tubes, and then called in several company employees from outside, and took them to start dismantling the four landscape oil paintings.

The wooden frames of these four landscape oil paintings are all rotten and mildewed, and the condition of the drawing boards is not expected to be much better.

Rather than taking these landscape oil paintings back to dismantle, it is better to dismantle them here.

It is more convenient and easy to carry.

Just as Ye Tian and the others were removing the frame, the antique shop owner asked curiously:

"Steven, now that the transaction has been completed, these four Andalusian landscape paintings belong to you, can you explain the real reason for purchasing these four paintings?

I believe that with your vision, you must have seen a lot more than me, and you can also see the true value of these four oil paintings, and I believe there must be a lot of things in it that I don’t know.”

Ye Tian turned to look at the antique shop owner, then smiled and said:

"Man, are you really sure, want to know the real reason why I bought these four landscape oil paintings, which may not be very good, for you, it's just an added worry!"

The antique shop owner's heart suddenly tightened, and then he nodded firmly.

"You are right, Steven, this may be asking for trouble, but I still want to know the answer to this question, and only in this way can I improve, and the next time I meet the same baby, maybe not again Hit the eye!"

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

He was somewhat impressed by the Moroccan antique shop owner.

It seems that the owner of the antique shop has a good mentality. He is not in a hurry because he was picked up and missed by himself. He also knows that he can learn from experience and lessons, which is indeed worth admiring!

After a while, he smiled and said:

"In this case, let me explain these four oil paintings. According to my judgment, the creation time of these four landscape oil paintings should be in the early nineteenth century, not the middle and late nineteenth century as you think.

The reason you're wrong is because of the cracks on these four landscape paintings, and the mildew on the frame, which hides some information and releases some misinformation."

Hearing this, the middle-aged antique shop owner could only nod his head, his face turned slightly red, somewhat embarrassed.

However, he didn't say much.

My eyesight is poor, so what can I say?

After a while, Ye Tian continued:

"Let's take a look at the artistic style and painting techniques of these four oil paintings. In these four oil paintings, we can see the shadow of the Romantic school, and we can also see the colors similar to expressionism.

To be precise, the artistic style shown by these four Andalusian landscape oil paintings is a transitional artistic style from Romanticism to Expressionism, which is very unique.

In the early nineteenth century, there were only a few European artists who possessed and matched these characteristics. Combined with the work of a certain Spanish painter, who this painter is, it is actually ready to be revealed! "

Hearing this, several antique art appraisal experts at the scene were instantly stunned.

Immediately afterwards, their eyes suddenly lit up, shining straight.

At the same time, the eyes they looked at Ye Tian and the few landscape oil paintings were full of envy, even jealousy.

But they didn't say anything, but continued to listen.

The antique shop owner also seemed to have thought of something, a look of remorse flashed in his eyes, but more of a suspicion.

Several people, including David and Yahya, were a little unclear, so they were still confused.

After a while, Ye Tian continued:

"This Spanish painter is the famous Francisco Goya. Goya was the most famous painter in Spain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. He was born in Zaragoza and was classified as a romantic painter!

However, Goya cannot be simply described as a Romantic painter. His painting style is bizarre and changeable, from early Baroque painting style to Romanticism to later works similar to Expressionism, always changing throughout his life.

Although he never established his own painting school, he had a great influence on the later realism school, romanticism school and impressionism, etc. He was a transitional figure who inherited the past and ushered in the future.

These four Andalusian landscape oil paintings should have been created by Goya at the beginning of the nineteenth century. In his later years, Goya's painting style changed again, which was the period of transition from romanticism to expressionism.

But this transformation was not completed, and Goya died of illness. In these four landscape paintings, we can see the process of Goya's artistic style changing, from spring to winter, progressively forward layer by layer.

To put it simply, the color of expressionism is getting stronger and stronger, and the color of romanticism is getting lighter and lighter. From the perspective of Western painting art research, the significance of these four Andalusian landscape paintings is very special.”

Although he had already guessed the answer, the few antique art appraisal experts at the scene were still excited and exclaimed when they heard Ye Tian confirm it in person.

"My God! It's actually the work of the Spanish art master Goya, it's incredible!"

"And it is also a quadruplet of spring, summer, autumn and winter created in the same place. Among Goya's works, this is unique and absolutely valuable!"

Amidst the exclamations, the middle-aged antique shop owner was heartbroken.

He was remorseful and wanted to slap himself twice, he was really blind!

This is definitely the biggest leak that I have picked up in my life. If I want to encounter top-level artworks of this level in the future, I guess it will only be in my sleep.

However, this is also the biggest leak that I have missed in my life. It only sold for $80,000, which is almost like giving it away for nothing!

Although he made hundreds of times of profits from these four landscape oil paintings, the owner of the antique shop was still in pain and almost died on the spot!

Yahya, who was also at the scene, and the rest of the Moroccans were also in pain.

It's a few top-level works of art, and the meaning is so special, just being swept away by Steven, a greedy bastard, it hurts to think about it.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly smiled and said:

"What I said just now is just my personal judgment. It is uncertain whether it is accurate or not. Further identification and evaluation are needed to get an accurate answer!"

Hearing this, all Moroccans, including Yahya, rolled their eyes angrily.

Come on again, go to the ghost!

You greedy **** must have long seen that this is Goya's work, so you took down these four landscape oil paintings.

Otherwise, you **** will never be able to shoot.

Not only that, you **** will definitely dig a hole to cheat others.

Ye Tian didn't care at all whether others believed him or not, and still took care of the few landscape oil paintings on his own.

After a while, they removed all four oil paintings from the drawing board.

Afterwards, Ye Tian pretended to seriously examine the four canvases.

When he saw the oil painting depicting the winter landscape, he suddenly pointed to a mildew spot on the upper edge of the canvas and said:

"It doesn't seem to be just mildew, it looks like the artist's personal signature, which is located at the top of the highest building in the painting, close to the frame.

There is a mildew spot at this position of the frame, so it is easy to think that the mildew spot extends to the canvas, forming a mildew spot on the canvas.

In Goya's works, signatures are often hidden in some very hidden places, and Goya will give some hints. Looking for signatures has even become a fun of studying Goya!

For example, in "Portrait of the Duchess of Alba", Goya's signature is hidden in the soil, and the finger of the Duchess of Alba points to that signature."

Before he finished speaking, the antique shop owner picked up a magnifying glass, walked up quickly, and looked at the mildew that Ye Tian was referring to.

The two experts in the identification of antique cultural relics and works of art who were also at the scene also stepped forward and began to check the mildew spot with great interest.

The results do not have to ask!

Moments later, the answer was out.

"Sure enough, it is Goya's personal signature, but it's too hidden, and it's covered with mildew. If it wasn't for Steven's reminder, it would be almost impossible to find it!"

An art appraisal expert nodded and said, his eyes full of excitement.

Looking at the antique shop owner again, he was lost.

"Why didn't I find this signature? What an idiot who deserves to be picked up!"

Ye Tian, ​​who was standing aside, smiled and shook his head, then carefully rolled up the canvas and put it into a black telescopic painting tube.

The other people who were at the scene were full of envy, and some of them even had red eyes!

As we all know, with the discovery of Goya's personal signature, there is no doubt about the provenance of these four landscape paintings.

Their prices will naturally soar along with it!

Since they are very rare quadruplets in the history of Western art, and are the best evidence of Goya's transition from Romanticism to Expressionism, the value is likely to be staggering!

After a while, Ye Tian and the others had collected four paintings and put them all into the painting tube.

Next, Ye Tian looked at the other goods in the antique store.

After walking around the antique store, he was about to leave.

At this moment, a Moroccan Ministry of Culture official suddenly asked curiously:

"Steven, since this is the work of the art master Goya, and it is a quadruplet, are they worth a lot? Can you give an estimate? I believe everyone wants to know!"

Following these words, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian shook his head unexpectedly, then smiled and said:

"I will not announce the exact value of these four landscape oil paintings, because I plan to collect these four landscape oil paintings myself and do not plan to sell them.

But I can tell you that these are four top-level works of art, each of which is very valuable, and such quadruplets are rare in the history of Western art and are worthy of collection! "

After he finished speaking, he shook hands with the antique shop owner and walked towards the door of the antique shop.

His answer surprised everyone, but they had no choice but to follow.

The media reporters who came out of the antique store and stood guard outside the door noticed the extra telescopic painting tubes in everyone's hands at first sight.

They instantly realized that in this antique shop, Ye Tian must have gained something.

Where would those media reporters miss this opportunity and start asking questions aloud.

"Hello, Steven, are the extra telescopic painting tubes you have in your hands containing the oil paintings you just discovered? Can you tell us about the situation?"

"Hello, Steven, which artist are these oil paintings, and how much are they worth? Can you show them to everyone?"

Ye Tian did not respond to questions from these media reporters.

He just waved at those guys, and then took David and the others forward, continuing to sweep this antique flea market.

Seeing that there was no answer from him, those media reporters immediately shifted their target.

They swarmed into the antique shop to inquire about the owner and other customers in the shop.

After a while, these guys poured out of the antique store again.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian discovered the news of four landscape oil paintings by the art master Goya in this antique shop. Like a hurricane, it quickly spread throughout the market and the entire Moroccan antique art collection field!

Everyone who heard the news was shocked and stunned, and even a little couldn't believe it.

Although Ye Tian did not give the valuation of the four paintings, some good people estimated the value of these four paintings based on the previous auction records of Goya's works.

After people's estimation, the overall value of these four landscape oil paintings is at least more than 50 million US dollars.

Once the valuation was disclosed, it caused quite a stir.

Everyone was stunned by this valuation, and they also wanted to go crazy with envy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At the same time, another news spread rapidly in the market.

Those guys who had been staring at Ye Tian's every move before, focusing on cutting off his beard from his hands and gaining something, were all fooled!

The things they bought were worthless at all. Not only did they not make them rich overnight, but they were pitted to tears.

Hearing the news, people felt chills on their backs again, and they were terrified.

Until this time, people seemed to remember the legends about Ye Tian creating all kinds of traps and killing people without paying for their lives.

As the news spread, many guys who were staring at Ye Tian's actions and trying to cut him off halfway, immediately dispelled all their fantasies and thoughts that they shouldn't have.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.

In the hands of several company employees who followed Ye Tian, ​​there were a few more things, including paintings, other antiques and artworks.

In a metal suitcase pulled by one of the company employees, there were two small bronze sculptures from ancient Rome.

Not only Ye Tian has gained a lot, but Professor David and Paul have also gained a lot.

After Ye Tian's guidance, they each purchased one or two antique cultural relics and works of art.

Although the value of these antique cultural relics and works of art is not very high, they are genuine and have their own characteristics.

Otherwise, David and the others would not be able to see it.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others walked into an antique shop on the street.

As soon as he walked into the store, Ye Tian's eyes flashed with surprise, but it was fleeting.

Needless to say, he once again found a valuable antique relic. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
