Treasure Hunt all over the World

"It's really beautiful, and it fascinates people! Although I didn't see the author's signature, I'm sure that this painter is definitely not an ordinary person, maybe he is a very famous artist.

Is this the work of the artist? When was it created? How much is it worth? Betty, you know what? If so, please let me know, I am very much looking forward to know the answer! "

Logan said excitedly, his eyes full of expectation.

This kid still has a certain appreciation ability, and he also has some understanding of artworks. After all, he is a student of the MIT Department of Architecture, so he must have studied related art courses.

He must be very familiar with the waterfront buildings in Venice, Italy, which are classic buildings that every architecture student must study.

Not only was he curious, so was Evelyn.

She is also looking forward to knowing the answer, and wants to know the value of the oil painting in front of her, how is it worth compared to that bottle of 1947 white horse red wine, is it higher or lower?

Unlike them, Matthew had a thoughtful expression, with excitement flashing from time to time in his eyes.

Obviously, he was guessing the author of this oil painting, and he was also guessing the value of this oil painting, and he had obtained something, but he didn't know if it was correct!

Betty shrugged her shoulders and said with a little regret:

"Sorry, Logan, I don't know the answer, just like you, I like this oil painting very much, and I also want to know who the artist of this oil painting is.

Steven didn't tell me the answer. He said that he would announce the answer when he arrived in Boston. To surprise everyone, now Steven can reveal the answer! "

After finishing speaking, Betty turned to look at her boyfriend beside her, expecting him to reveal the answer.

The same goes for Logan and Evelyn, both looking at Ye Tian with expectations in their eyes.

Ye Tian smiled softly, then said with a smile:

"Okay, let me reveal the answer, this is..."

At this moment, Matthew suddenly interrupted Ye Tian, ​​and then said:

"Steven, don't announce the answer yet, let me guess, okay? I know a little about artworks, and I also know a little about appraisal. Now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it!"

Matthew said happily, his eyes were extremely bright, shining straight!

Obviously, the old man is interested and wants to show off his skills and show off his artistic skills.

Ye Tian stopped talking, nodded with a smile, agreed to Matthew's request, and then looked at the old man's pole with great interest.

I don't know what level this old man is? Can you guess the answer? interesting!

Hearing what their father said, Betty and Logan looked over in surprise.

I never heard that Dad can appreciate art! What is going on here? Don't make a fool of yourself! Steven is a well-known master of art appraisal, and he has never seen it wrong!

Only Evelyn still looked like an old god, looking at her husband with a smile, looking very confident.

The living room fell silent, and everyone was waiting for Matthew's conclusion.

Matthew picked up the oil painting on the coffee table, held it in his hand, and began to conduct a naked eye appraisal. He looked very carefully and seriously, and looked like an expert in appraisal!

Seeing his performance, Ye Tian couldn't help but his eyes lit up, maybe this old man really has two skills! Let's see the results of his appraisal, it's worth looking forward to!

Betty and Logan stared wide-eyed, looking at Matthew in disbelief.

Is this still my father? Why did you suddenly become an appraisal expert? Still looking good! Don't pretend?

Two or three minutes later, Matthew just put down the oil painting, raised his head and looked at everyone.

Then, he began to talk about the appraisal conclusion he had drawn, extremely excited and somewhat confident.

"Judging from the slightly old frame and the condition of the canvas, this oil painting should have a long history, at least more than 50 years.

Am I right? steven"

The old man was obviously not very confident yet, so he started asking for opinions on the first item.

The target of the inquiry was of course Ye Tian, ​​and he was an expert in art appraisal, and he was very awesome!

"That's right, Mr. Walter. Regarding this point, your identification is very correct. The history of this oil painting is indeed more than 50 years!"

Ye Tian nodded with a smile, and gave an affirmative answer, but did not reveal more.

"It's great! I knew that although I haven't appraised artworks for more than 20 years, my eyesight is still there, and it hasn't completely degenerated!"

Matthew pumped his fist and cheered, as happy as a child.

Dad guessed it right!

Haven't appraised a work of art in twenty years! What the hell is this? Could it be that Dad used to be an expert in art appraisal? Do not make jokes!

The eyeballs of Betty and Logan almost popped out, they looked at their father in shock, they couldn't believe what they just heard! It's too unreal!

Only Evelyn remained as usual, seeming to take all this for granted and not to be surprised.

And the way she looked at Matthew was even more gentle, a bit like reminiscing about the past!

After calming down a little, Matthew continued to talk about his appraisal conclusion, obviously more confident this time.

"This painting seems to be a landscape oil painting of the French Barbizon School. From the picture, the brush is light, natural and vivid, beautiful and fresh, and it is a very realistic painting technique.

The characters and scenery in the paintings are all lifelike, giving people an immersive feeling and full of poetic sentiment. What it shows is the most real and simple beauty of nature!

According to the landscape depicted in this painting, the painting technique, and my speculation on the painting school, I think it may be the work of Charles Francois Daubigny of the Barbizon School.

I can see Daubigny's painting style, but it's not very obvious, but even if it's not Daubigny's paintings, this painter must be deeply influenced by Daubigny, and the painting style is very similar to Daubigny!

This is just my personal appraisal conclusion, not sure. After all, I am just an art lover, not a professional, and I cannot compare with your high-level appraisal experts.

If my identification is correct and this is indeed Daubigny's work, then we dare not accept this gift, let alone hang it at home! It's just too expensive! Will keep us awake! "

After reading out the appraisal conclusion, Matthew immediately looked at Ye Tian, ​​waiting for Ye Tian's comment to verify whether his appraisal conclusion was correct.

But in his heart, he has basically confirmed the result.

The painting in front of him is Daubigny's work. With Steven's boldness, he should not send a copy or fake to Evelyn!

You know, Evelyn could very well be his future mother-in-law! How dare this kid be careless?

Thinking of this, Matthew couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

This is a painting by Charles Daubigny! The top oil painting that many art collectors dream of but can't reach! It is right in front of my eyes at this moment, within easy reach! Can it not be exciting!

As soon as he finished speaking, Matthew already regretted it a bit!

It's okay, why are you being so polite! Really full! If Steven followed his suggestion and really took back the oil painting, wouldn't he regret his death?

If you miss out on this top-notch oil painting that is within your reach, it will keep you up at night! It is inevitable to wash my face with tears every day!

Betty, Logan, and Evelyn were all dumbfounded at this moment, looking at the oil painting on the table, Ye Tian, ​​and Matthew in disbelief!

In the eyes of the three of them, there was a look of surprise, even madness!

Charles François Daubigny! What a shocking name!

For anyone who has studied the history of European art, Daubigny is a figure that cannot be avoided, not to mention that he is well-known in the streets, at least he is familiar with it!

Of course Betty and the others knew Daubigny's name. They had heard this name in art classes in high school and college, and not once or twice!

This great god is a famous French painter in the 19th century, a banner figure of the Barbizon School, and is also considered to be one of the important pioneers of Impressionism, and a recipient of the Order of the French Knights!

Speaking of Daubigny, we must first talk about the Barbizon School.

This is a famous landscape painting school born in France in the nineteenth century.

Barbizon is located at the entrance of Fontainebleau Forest in Paris, with beautiful scenery. In the 1930s and 1940s, a group of painters who were dissatisfied with the rule of the July Dynasty and academic painting came here to settle and paint one after another, forming the Barbizon School of Painting.

They not only express the appearance of nature in a realistic way, but also devote themselves to exploring the inner life of nature, and strive to express the painter's sincere feelings for nature in their works.

They created real natural landscape paintings, negated the false historical landscape painting formula of the academic school, and opened the prelude to the massive realist art movement in France in the 19th century.

The Barbizon school of painting opposed academic painters painting landscapes indoors, and advocated going out of the studio to sketch the scenery under natural light, and then create landscape paintings based on the sketches.

Their creative experience, especially the artistic proposition and practice of sketching landscapes in order to obtain real and fresh feelings and brighten the tone of the picture, has brought important enlightenment to European and American landscape painters.

This includes the most important Impressionist painting school in the history of modern art, as well as many other famous art masters, all of whom are deeply influenced by the Barbizon School.

Representative painters of the Barbizon School include Rousseau, de la Pena, Daubigny, etc., all of whom are well-known great painters in the history of Western art.

And Daubigny was one of the earliest painters who painted under external light conditions. He is a well-deserved banner painter of the Barbizon School. His paintings are not only of extraordinary artistic value, but also have groundbreaking significance!

Daubigny's pictures are mostly sunny and full of light; his compositions are mostly banners, which have a bright and open feeling and are full of natural vitality.

His research on waterscape is very thorough, and he is considered to be the best painter in the Barbizon School who is good at painting water.

It was his way of going deep into nature and sketching scenery from life that had a great influence on the later Impressionist painters and directly contributed to the birth of Impressionism!

Famous art masters such as Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, and Cézanne, the masters of Impressionism, can even be said to be students of Daubigny, and Monet was brought back to France from England by him!

In artistic practice, these young painters at that time were deeply influenced by Daubigny's paintings, and then created countless top-level artworks, shining in the history of Western art!

And Daubigny also gave these junior painters a firm support, and he himself is known as the originator of Impressionism.

In the history of French art, Daubigny's status is very high, even higher than Paul Cézanne, Delacroix and other famous art masters, and has been praised and praised by countless people!

And his paintings are very high in terms of artistic value and market value, and are enthusiastically pursued by countless people. They are the top art collections!

Therefore, when Betty and the others heard that the painting in front of them might be the work of Daubigny, they were naturally very shocked, and even a little bit unbelievable!

Especially Evelyn, her eyes were fixed on the oil painting on the table, and she was not willing to move away for a moment.

At this moment, she couldn't wait to go up and seal Matthew's mouth immediately. ) Download Free Reader!!
