The wall in front of you is covered with paintings of various types, different artistic styles, and different sizes. There are more than twenty paintings! It takes up all the space on the wall and looks quite spectacular.
The same is true on the walls on both sides and next to the warehouse door behind you. They have been completely occupied by all kinds of paintings, hanging to the fullest without leaving any space!
There are also four rows of steel shelves in the room that are more than ten meters long and about three meters high standing on the ground. They look very strong. On both sides of these shelves, there are also many paintings hanging, and there are also a lot of them.
The ground is very clean, there are no paintings leaning against the wall, all the paintings are hung up!
This kind of display method is very scientific, coupled with the internal environment of constant temperature and humidity, it can protect many paintings very well and prevent them from unnecessary damage.
Obviously, that old guy Thompson put a lot of thought into it, which deserves recognition!
After all, he has considerable artistic taste, and as a painter himself, he is not comparable to the other idiots and thieves who steal art. His rank is more than one level higher!
The many paintings in front of me have different textures, some are painted on paper, some are painted on canvas, some are painted on wooden boards, and other types of materials.
The categories of paintings are also different, including oil paintings, sketches, prints, drawings, and even a few traditional Chinese ink landscapes!
The most popular ones are oil paintings on canvas. This is the mainstream of the Western art market and is perfectly normal! The constant temperature and humidity environment is specially designed for oil paintings. This is the most suitable environment for display and preservation of oil paintings!
There are many artistic styles, such as Renaissance, Baroque, classical realism, impressionism, post-impressionism, cubism, abstraction, magic realism, etc., it’s all dazzling and colorful!
The creation era is even more different. There are paintings from almost every century within a thousand years. In Ye Tian's eyes, there are various kinds of lights shining, whether yellow, orange, red, or white. It's so beautiful!
The colors that appeared most frequently in his eyes were red and white, accounting for almost half of the paintings, indicating that the warehouse contained the largest number of paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Of course, there are also some paintings that do not radiate dazzling light. They are all modern works of art from the past fifty years.
There are many paintings here, each one is different, showing different beauty, each with its own merits! But they all have one thing in common, without exception!
In Ye Tian's eyes, each painting has dozens or twenty layers of charming halos, full of temptation! There are even several paintings with more layers of halo.
It can be seen from this that all the paintings here are top-notch works of art! It has very high artistic value and collection value!
Of course, the market value that Ye Tian and Matisse value most is also extraordinary!
In addition to many paintings of various types, there are also many valuable antiques here.
In the middle of the warehouse, there is a huge modular shelf on the left and right sides, which is similar to the Duobao Pavilion in traditional Chinese furniture.
These two shelves are assembled from angle iron frames and three-centimetre-thick wooden boards. They don’t look aesthetically pleasing, but they are very strong and practical.
What is on the shelves are not various paintings, but many antiques.
There are fine porcelain from China, classical sculptures from Europe, cultural relics from ancient Egypt, Native American cultural relics, and more! There is so much variety that it takes up most of the space on the shelf.
Compared to many paintings, these antiques are much older!
The distant ones have a history of five or six thousand years, and the recent ones are three or four hundred years old. All kinds of beautiful lights shone in Ye Tian's eyes, making him a little dizzy.
In addition to the dazzling light emitted by each antique, there are many layers of charming halo, which are also full of temptation and exciting!
Obviously, the vast majority of antiques on the shelves have extraordinary artistic value and considerable market value.
As Ye Tian strode along the middle passage, he admired the antique artworks on the walls and shelves on both sides, his eyes filled with intoxication and satisfaction! Smile so brightly!
In a blink of an eye, he had reached the end of the passage, then stopped, raised his head slightly, and began to admire a portrait on the wall in front of him!
In his eyes, this portrait radiated dazzling orange light and was extremely beautiful!
Judging from the intensity of light emitted by the painting, the age of its creation can be accurately determined.
This is a famous classical painting from the 16th century! The painting skills are superb. Both the light and the figures in the paintings give people a feeling of peace, coordination and harmony! You can tell it's a masterpiece at first glance!
Beyond the dazzling orange light, the more than twenty layers of charming halos illustrate this point extremely accurately!
This is a top-notch oil painting, produced by a top-notch painting master. Its artistic value is extraordinary, and its market value is equally extraordinary!
No matter in any large museum in the world, this top-notch work of art can become a treasure-level existence, and it is also a national treasure of the country where it is located. There is no doubt about it!
This Renaissance-style classical oil painting alone is enough to make the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA go crazy with envy, not to mention there are more top-notch antique works of art here!
The portrait was hung directly opposite the warehouse door. The view was very good. Ye Tian saw it immediately as soon as he entered the warehouse. It was difficult to ignore it!
The moment he saw this oil painting, his eyes were firmly attracted, and he was shocked that this oil painting appeared here!
After being shocked, he quickly made the decision to make this top-notch oil painting the first subject for video recording.
Ye Tian knows this top-notch oil painting and is quite familiar with it.
Not only him, anyone who has done a little research on Western art history will basically know this famous painting!
This is a classicist portrait, titled "Portrait of a Young Man". The artist who created this oil painting is Raphael, a famous Italian painter and one of the three masters of the Renaissance art world!
Raphael is one of the most outstanding painters in Italy. Together with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, he is known as the three masters of the Renaissance art world, and he is the youngest among them.
His works drew on the strengths of many artists and formed his own unique style, which represented the most admired aesthetic taste of people at that time and became an unattainable model for later generations of classical artists.
In the history of Western art, Raphael's status is very high. His art is respected as "classical art" by later generations, and his works are respected as "creative models" and enjoy a high reputation.
The "Sistine Madonna" he created is highly regarded as an artistic masterpiece comparable to the "Mona Lisa" and is a rare treasure in the treasure house of human culture and art.
The classic oil painting on canvas in front of you is one of Raphael's masterpieces. The portrait of the young man in the painting is said to be Raphael himself.
From these aspects, the thin and white face, the flowing long hair, the peaceful and elegant temperament, and the slightly melancholy eyes are indeed very similar to Raphael himself!
Before World War II, this famous painting had been kept in the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow, Poland for people to appreciate and admire. It is one of Poland's most important national treasures.
Until 1939, when World War II broke out and Germany invaded Poland, this top-notch painting unfortunately fell into the hands of the Nazi SS and was taken to Berlin by the Gestapo to decorate Hitler's official residence.
In 1945, senior Nazi official Hans Frank found this famous painting in the Führer's collection and brought it to the Royal Wawel Castle.
From then on, this painting never appeared again and disappeared completely!
During World War II, Poland lost countless precious works of art, and this famous painting by Raphael was one of the most important paintings.
In the years that followed, the Czartoryski family tried many times to find this top-notch painting, but found nothing. There was no way of knowing in whose hands this famous painting fell.
Not only is the Czartoryski family looking for this famous painting, the Polish government has also been sparing no effort to search for these lost cultural relics and artworks around the world! .
Once found, they will try to recover these lost cultural relics or artworks from collectors, museums, and even Nazi descendants around the world, at great cost!
This top-notch oil painting from Raphael is undoubtedly the most important target searched by the Polish government.
But who would have thought that this top-notch painting would actually fall into the hands of Thompson in Boston and be hidden in such an extremely secret underground warehouse.
"What a great painting! He is worthy of being one of the three masters of Renaissance art!"
Ye Tian admired a few words in a low voice, and then ended the short appreciation process.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his mobile phone and began to take pictures of this top-notch oil painting, giving the most accurate identification conclusion.
"What you are seeing is a famous classic oil painting, "Portrait of a Young Man", one of the masterpieces of the famous painter Raphael Sancy, one of the three masters of Italian Renaissance art.
This classicist portrait was created between 1513 and 1514. It is the peak of Raphael's artistic career. The young man in the painting is said to be Raphael himself.
Based on my research and appraisal of this painting, I can say with absolute certainty that this is Raphael’s original work, the top-notch work of art that made Hitler’s heart beat so much, and is priceless!
Since disappearing in 1945, this famous painting has never appeared again, without a trace! I didn't expect to be here. This is the luck of each of us to appreciate such a perfect work of art.
Of course, this is also my luck. I am very honored to discover this famous painting and bring it back to the public, so that it can be seen again and bring everyone beautiful enjoyment! ..."
Ye Tian introduced this famous painting while taking pictures, very professional!
He not only photographed the entire painting, but also brought his mobile phone camera close to the oil painting to take several close-ups of some parts, leaving more and more powerful video evidence.
Soon, the video data of this oil painting was taken, and the appraisal conclusion was read out.
Afterwards, Ye Tian admired this top-notch painting for a few more times before reluctantly looking away and looking at another famous painting next to it.
