Chapter 522: Famous Impressionist Paintings Stolen

Ye Tian's line of sight easily penetrated the wall and directly projected onto the oil painting on the north wall of the bedroom, so he had no time to take care of others!

In his eyes, this oil painting radiates a dazzling red light, which is extremely beautiful!

Based on the intensity of the red light, he instantly determined the age of the oil painting.

The nearly 20 layers of seductive and charming halo on the surface of the oil painting accurately illustrate the artistic value of this painting!

This is an oil painting created in the late 1970s and early 1980s, by the top masters of painting art, with extraordinary artistic value and market value!

Of course, this can never be Thompson's work! Their ancestral tombs will definitely not be able to get out of this blue smoke!

"Claude Monet! It's so beautiful!"

Ye Tian whispered the name of the oil painting, and continued to appreciate the famous painting in perspective. His eyes were full of excitement, and he was even a little ecstatic!

That's right! This is Monet's painting, and one of his masterpieces!

! The most famous Impressionist painting in the history of art!

Claude Monet, a famous French painter, the leader of Impressionism, known as the leader of Impressionism, is one of the representatives and founders of Impressionism.

Monet was one of the most important French painters, and most of the theory and practice of Impressionism were popularized by him.

The Impressionist movement, which originated in France in the 1860s, is a mighty movement, its edge is against the outdated classical school, as well as indulging in medieval knight literature and falling into artificial romanticism.

The Impressionist movement can be seen as the pinnacle of naturalistic tendencies in the nineteenth century, and as the starting point of modern art.

Claude Monet's name has always been closely associated with Impressionism, and he contributed more than anyone else to the formation of this genre of art and the new methods he used to depict reality.

It can be said that it was through the hands of Monet that Impressionism was truly developed!

Impressionism has had an extremely significant impact on the history of Western art! It broke through the conservative thinking of the academic school, and greatly impacted the official art that dominated the Western painting circles in the late 19th century!

As a result, a new page in the history of Western modern painting was opened!

As the leader of Impressionism and the first successful Impressionist painter, Monet has an extremely important position in the history of French art and even the entire history of Western art.

Monet was good at experimenting and expressing techniques of light and shadow, and revolutionized the painting of shadows and outlines, which was his most important style.

In Monet's paintings, there are no very well-defined shadows, no prominent or flat-painted outlines.

In addition, Monet's use of color is also very delicate. He used many paintings of the same theme to experiment with the perfect expression of color and light.

He has long explored the expressive effects of light, color and air. He often depicts the same object in multiple paintings at different times and lights, expressing the momentary feeling from the changes in natural light and color.

Monet's artistic career is very long, and the peak period is quite long, just like his life!

In his lifetime, he created countless works, leaving many immortal masterpieces and great spiritual wealth for the world art history!

The picture in front of me is exactly the work of Monet at his peak, created in 1879 in Argenteuil-sur-Seine, a suburb of Paris.

Near the picture is a delicate and blooming poppy field with several figures, and in the distance are gentle hills, woods, lakes, and villages and towns.

At this time, Monet's life was relatively stable. The characters in the painting were his wife Camille and their six-year-old son Jean. The mother and son were collecting flowers in the fields, enjoying the sun to the fullest, and completely intoxicated by nature.

The figures in the painting give people a gentle, rhythmic movement.

However, the bright red patches in the painting are the gist of this work, Monet's faithful depiction of the light and color that catches his eye.

Although the shape of these patches has poppy characteristics, it is not specific.

Some of them overlap, some are placed randomly, some are shrunk for representation, but the dark, drab background accentuates the bright, bright, warm tones.

"This guy Thompson's luck is really good, or indeed, he has a lot of hands and eyes, and he can even get this oil painting. It's too awesome!"

Ye Tian secretly sighed in his heart, and was very envious!

This is of course stolen art, otherwise it wouldn't be here!

In February 2008, three masked armed robbers ransacked the exhibition hall of the Bieler Foundation in Zurich, Switzerland, and stole the four handed down works that were on display there.

This famous painting by Monet is one of them!

The remaining three oil paintings are also representative works of top art masters, each of which is of great value.

They are Cezanne's; Edgar Degas's; Van Gogh's.

Of course it's not the one Ye Tian sold before, but a sitting oil painting of the same model, which is one of the series!

The total value of the four robbed oil paintings is as high as more than 160 million US dollars, and the robbery is also considered to be one of the largest art heists in the world.

However, $160 million is only a 2008 estimate!

In recent years, the prices of top artworks have continued to skyrocket. The total value of these four oil paintings has already risen, and it is estimated that they can't beat the $500 million!

"I wonder if the other three stolen oil paintings from the Bieler Foundation are also in Thompson's hands? If so, that would be great, buddy will definitely make a fortune!"

Ye Tian thought happily, obviously a little too long to look at Shu!

After admiring this Monet masterpiece for a while, Ye Tiantian shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere.

The timing is not right now, and it will not be too late to appreciate this famous painting in the future!

At this moment, in his heart, he seems to have regarded this famous painting as his own. At present, he is only temporarily borrowing it from Thompson for two days, and he will take it back soon!

At the same time as he looked back, he had already secretly decided that when he negotiated with the FBI Art Crime Unit and the Swiss Bieler Foundation, he would take down the famous painting no matter what.

As for the other three famous paintings, if they are also in the hands of Thompson, then try to win another one, if not, then there is no way!

But no matter what, this buddy must take it, and he can't take it away from anyone!

If there is really no other way, buddies don't mind playing a black game!

Perspective continues!

Soon, Ye Tian found a pair of special glasses in the desk drawer.

Exactly the same as the pair of glasses used by Leo at the previous charity auction, these are special glasses, which are specially used to see through camouflage and identify oil paintings hidden under special pigments.

Of course, Thompson will not use it to identify the authenticity of the oil painting, he is using it to appreciate the two top oil paintings in the room.

In addition to the glasses, Ye Tian found two more antiques in the prayer area, a pair of French, Rococo-style gilt candlesticks from the mid-19th century.

This pair of candlesticks should come from the French royal family, as can be seen from the style and craftsmanship!

Although this pair of candlesticks has a certain value, compared with those two top oil paintings, it is not worth mentioning at all! Ye Tian doesn't take this thing seriously anymore!

His eyes swept past the pair of candlesticks and looked elsewhere.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian saw through the entire suite, and found no other antique artworks.

There is a safe under the bookcase, but there are only some US dollars and euros, about tens of thousands of dollars, and there is no surprising discovery, not even a passport!

Thompson definitely has other places to hide things, and it's around here!

An international art thief like him must be ready to run away at any time, and there is no doubt that he has a passport with multiple identities, and the passport is definitely within reach!

But Ye Tian doesn't care much about this, he loves to run or not! Just keep these top artworks!

During the perspective, Ye Tian also saw several pinhole cameras, all of which were very hidden, monitoring the entire room, and there were almost no blind spots!

A position installed at the door, hidden in the lamp, and monitoring the door condescendingly!

There is also a camera on the opposite side of the two top oil paintings, one is installed in the bookshelf and the other is installed in the wall clock, monitoring the two precious oil paintings.

In addition, there are pinhole cameras directly opposite the windows of the three rooms, monitoring every place that may invade this suite, which is very thoughtful!

Don't ask, there must be hidden pinhole cameras in the corridors, monitoring the corridors and doorways outside!

If anyone can't fool these pinhole cameras, Thompson will know immediately once he invades this room, so he can quickly take corresponding preventive measures.

And there is not only a pinhole camera here. Behind the two oil paintings, there is also a high-sensitivity sensor, which is very concealed and cannot be seen from the front of the oil painting!

Even if someone deceived the surveillance and broke into the suite, as long as he touched the two paintings, Thompson would also be immediately alerted.

That is, Ye Tian, ​​who can find this through perspective, if anyone else breaks into this room, I am afraid that they will not be able to deceive Thompson's eyes. Nine times out of ten, he will know his way!

"It's impossible to guard against it! It's an old fox, and it's extremely cunning! But it's a pity that you met a buddy. These things are destined to be deaf ears, just decorations!"

Ye Tian secretly sighed and smiled proudly.

But in his heart, he paid more attention to the opponent Thompson.

The next action must be extremely cautious, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it is very likely that there will be an accident and the whole game will be lost.

The perspective of this suite was completed quickly, and the harvest was huge!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian retracted his gaze and ended the perspective.

After resting for a while and calming down his excitement, Ye Tian looked at the next room again and continued to investigate.

There was someone in the next room, a priest in his fifties reading a book in his study, quietly.

In this suite, Ye Tian didn't find anything of value, let alone antique artwork!

In just two or three seconds, he ended the investigation, and then his eyes moved to another room on the first floor to continue the perspective investigation.

Ye Tian strolled along the east side of the small building from north to south, like a tourist who has a soft spot for ancient buildings, admiring and studying this small building, his expression is very focused, there is nothing suspicious!

This is a building built in 1723, and there are not many in the United States!

Moreover, it also has a very important historical significance. Every year, many people come to pay their respects and study it. What is there to be suspicious of if there is one more Ye Tian!

It didn't take long for Ye Tian to walk to the south end of the small building.

He has already completed the secret perspective investigation of the rooms and basement on the east side of the small building, and not a single room has been left!

However, in the basements on the east side of the small building, he did not find Thompson's private studio!

Obviously, Thompson's studio is in the basements on the west side.

After a while, Ye Tian walked to the west side of the small building, ready to continue the perspective exploration!
