Treasure Hunt all over the World

When David and the others checked the condition of the sandwich wall, Ye Tian moved the small Baroque table over, and was about to remove the oil paper wrapped with oil paintings on the table.

Then he took out two more pairs of white gloves, handed David a pair, and put on a pair himself.

The performances of the other three are over, and the main event can begin!

"Okay! David, let's open these oiled papers and see what's wrapped underneath. Surprise or disappointment, I hope it's a huge surprise, then it's perfect!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, walking towards the open wall.

"Judging from the preservation of these two collections, they must be of high value. It may be a major discovery, and it is possible to shock the world!"

David responded excitedly that he had full confidence in the two collections.

If it weren't for valuables, it would never be kept so secret!

"Honey! I'm too nervous to watch!"

Betty put her hands on her chest and said softly to Jennifer beside her, her expression was nervous and expectant.

"Me too! This scene is so exciting! I shudder at the thought of being a part of history!"

The black beauty's expression was even more exaggerated, and she was even a little ready to move, as if she was about to rush up and do it herself.

Ye Tian walked to the wall, suppressed the excitement in his heart, raised his hand cautiously to hold the edge of the first collection, took it out, and put it on the small baroque table.

During this period, David did not interfere, which is the right of the owner.

Ye Tian did not take out another collection,

Instead, I plan to disassemble this piece first, make a simple appraisal, and then take out the second piece, continue the appraisal, determine the general information of the collection, and finally display it together.

"David, let's do it, Betty, for a close-up"

"OK!"

The two responded excitedly in unison, and immediately began to move.

The size of this collection is medium, excluding the outline of the picture frame, it is about 65*80 in size. It is wrapped with several layers of thick yellow oil paper and tied with a white ribbon.

The whole is airtight, except for the outline, no information can be seen anymore.

This measure can effectively avoid moisture erosion and protect the works inside.

Ye Tian gently cut off the two white ribbons with scissors, and then began to disassemble the oiled paper, while David held the edge of the picture frame to prevent it from accidentally falling.

Several layers of oiled paper were quickly opened, and the first thing to be exposed was the edge of a very delicate and elegant solid wood picture frame.

"It must be an oil painting, and it's worth a lot!"

Seeing the picture frame for the first time, David immediately said firmly, and both Betty and Jennifer nodded in agreement.

Everyone has basic art appreciation, especially oil painting, which is the most important category of Western art. Everyone has seen a lot since childhood, so they can naturally draw judgments immediately.

"Of course it's an oil painting! And it's a top-notch work. It's time to shake people's hearts!"

Ye Tian said to himself, extremely proud.

Without any pause, he completely removed the oil paper in four or five seconds, and put the oil painting on the table, presenting it completely in front of everyone and under the lens of the camera.

In an instant, there was silence in the study.

Betty and the others stared at the oil painting in astonishment, their eyes full of unbelievable and crazy colors!

The same is true for Ye Tian, ​​even though he has seen through it many times, he knows every detail of the painting, and even knows the process of creation, how many times it was shoveled, the order of applying paint, the material of the canvas and so on.

However, when this top-notch oil painting was clearly presented in front of his eyes, placed on the table, and reappeared in his own hands, he was still so excited that he almost cheered, and even went crazy over it!

This is the unparalleled appeal of art!

No matter when, no matter how many times you have admired it, it is still so shocking every time you see each other again!

The content of the oil painting is not complicated, it can be seen clearly at a glance, and it can also make people instantly fascinated!

What is shown on the canvas is a beautiful and charming natural scenery.

In the middle of the painting, there is a tall fir tree that grows slightly inclined to the right, dividing the painting into two halves. It looks like it is swaying with the wind, with a bit of agility.

In the distance of the green grass is a viaduct, which slopes slightly downward from left to right. In order to balance the picture, the artist drew a group of fir trees on the left, with straight and solemn lines!

The lower part of the painting is a hilly area, mostly in light gray and pink; different shades of green are used to describe the pine trees; orange and gray are used for the roof, and the small pond is a piece of sky blue.

On the plain, the artist uses patches of green and orange in different shades to show the houses, vegetable fields and harvested wheat fields.

In the upper part of the painting, the canopy of the fir tree, is a majestic mountain.

The left side of the mountain is light red and looks bare, while the right side is a very cold blue, where there should be a dense forest.

Above is a warm blue sky with some faint white clouds floating.

Looking at this painting, everyone will feel that these scenes really exist under the bright sunshine, with a kind of beauty in order.

The outline of this painting appears broken and loose, and the colors float on the object to maintain its own characteristics independent of the object.

The brushstrokes of the painter here are like soloists in an orchestra. Each stroke is suitable for existence in the picture according to its own function, but it is also subject to the harmony of the whole.

The study was still very quiet, and everyone was fascinated by the masterpiece.

At the same time, the color of shock in Betty and the others' eyes became stronger and stronger.

They recognized this oil painting a long time ago. It is a famous work. Many people have seen it in the art appreciation class, and even discussed it!

In the lower right corner of the oil painting, they also saw the artist's signature, what a dazzling and recognizable name!

Ye Tian was the first to wake up. He tapped on the table lightly and said with a smile:

"Two beauties, David, wake up, we should continue, there is still a collection that has not been revealed, and when that collection is also seen again, let's enjoy it!"

The sound came out, and the other three woke up immediately, followed by a burst of crazy praise and exclamation.

"My God! It's so beautiful! It's so shocking! Paul Cézanne's "Mont Saint-Victor", one of the famous masterpieces of Post-Impressionism, is it genuine?

Isn't the painting in the hands of a French private collector? How could it appear in the United States? And in such a secret sandwiched wall, it is simply a fantasy! "

David held his head and said loudly, his eyes full of disbelief.

"That's right! This is indeed Paul Cézanne's "Mont Sainte-Victoire". According to my preliminary identification of this painting, this is the real one, created by Paul Cézanne around 1890.

Whether it is the painting style, delicate brushstrokes, or the symphony-like, rich and harmonious color changes, it perfectly shows that this is the representative work of Paul Cézanne.

The artist's signature, as well as the age of the canvas and frame, also indicate its identity, and it is indeed from 1890, which is similar to several Paul Cézanne works of the same period collected by the Metropolitan Museum.

As for why it appeared in the United States, it is unknown, but everyone should not forget that the previous owner of this apartment was a famous French painter, and perhaps this is his personal collection! "

Ye Tian replied with a smile, and gave a more detailed explanation, with an unusually firm tone.

The reason why he makes these judgments is not only his increasingly strong art appreciation ability and knowledge, but also the extremely authoritative conclusion of the ability appraisal!

The red glow emanating from this oil painting, and nearly 20 layers of enchanting halos, definitely says it all!

"I can't believe it! This is definitely a shocking discovery, and it will definitely shake the entire oil painting collection world!"

David said with emotion, his eyes were full of shock and endless envy.

What a fortune this is! Why does God only take pity on Steven? Preference is a little crazy!

He already believed in Ye Tian's appraisal conclusion. Apart from being very familiar with the painting, he also trusted Ye Tian's sharp eyes.

If he didn't have this keen discernment, why would Stephen keep making a lot of money!

"Wow! It's so beautiful! Compared with the high-definition pictures in the art appreciation class, the real thing is so much more beautiful!"

Betty kept sighing and praising, her eyes were fixed on the oil painting, and she was not willing to look away at all.

"Honey! You are right, this is a Post-Impressionist oil painting. The strong layering and color contrast cannot be expressed in high-definition pictures. If you want to truly appreciate its beauty, you can only look at the real thing!"

"Steven! How much is such a famous oil painting worth? It must be a sky-high price, right?"

After the shock, Jennifer asked another question that everyone cared about.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and said with great certainty:

"It must be a sky-high price! But the specific value of this painting is tens of millions of dollars, or hundreds of millions of dollars. I can't give an accurate answer, but I am sure of one thing, it will never be less than 30 million dollars.

Paul Cézanne's "The Card Players" once sold for 500 million US dollars, which happened in the past two years, and now the market for top oil paintings has risen again, and the price is even higher!

This oil painting may not be sold for 500 million yuan, but its artistic charm is by no means lower than "The Card Players", and its status in the history of painting is even higher! "

In the process of speaking, the other three people were already stunned.

Everyone stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, their eyeballs almost flew out!

$500 million! Betty and the others only had this number in their minds, nothing else at all.

In addition to the ecstasy, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a little rejoiced.

Fortunately, there was no live broadcast, otherwise I don't know how many people were stunned!

If that's the case, I won't even think about going out later, the door of the apartment will definitely be surrounded by crazy people!

The excavation of the next collection can be carried out, which will be another super shock bomb, which will definitely make Betty and the others dizzy again.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian suddenly laughed, and said loudly:

"There are still treasures undiscovered! Let's continue!"
