When the scene became quieter, Ye Tian immediately turned to look at Alphonse, then said with a smile:
"Alphonse, I have finished explaining these three oil paintings. Today is really a wonderful day, and I have come across so many valuable and top-notch antiques.
I have to say that the Saint-Ouan flea market is indeed the most famous antique flea market in the world, and it truly deserves its reputation. For me, this market is really a huge treasure.
It’s time for us to leave your antique store. There are hundreds of antique stalls and antique shops waiting for me to browse outside, and there are countless valuable antiques and artworks waiting for me to discover!
Before I leave, I must say that I am really happy to meet you and thank you very much for this antique shop that brought me a huge surprise. I hope you enjoy this wonderful day like me! "
As he spoke, Ye Tian stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face, ready to shake hands with Alphonse and say goodbye.
However, Alphonse did not shake hands with him, but said with great urgency:
"Don't leave in a hurry! Steven, don't forget what you promised just now. When the transaction is completed, you will point out the other valuable top-notch works of art one by one.
After being robbed like crazy by you, I can only admit it with gritted teeth. Who makes me inferior in skills? If I treat priceless treasures as rubbish, sooner or later, they will be picked up by colleagues with higher level.
However, since I know that there are valuable top-notch works of art in the store, it would be a big deal if someone misses them, so I can only ask you to point out those works of art.
If you just leave like this, then I will have to close down my business. I won’t dare to open my business until I find those top-notch pieces of art. If someone misses them again, I will go crazy! "
Looking at the eager Alphonse, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
What he said just now about leaving was partly true and partly a joke. He was teasing Alphonse!
"Don't worry, Alphonse. Since I promised, I won't break my promise. That's not my style. Let's get started. You'd better be mentally prepared. You will get a series of surprises next!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his words full of confidence.
"After the series of painful baptisms just now, my nerves have become extremely strong. No matter what happens now, I can't defeat me. Let the surprises come more violently, and no one will be refused!"
Alphonse said jokingly, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter, and everyone in the antique store laughed.
Amidst the laughter, Ye Tian walked to the classic oil painting that he was about to take down but was stopped by Alphonse in time, and said in a slightly regretful tone:
"Alphonse, this classic oil painting from the late Renaissance is not the work of an unknown Italian painter, nor is it an ordinary painting worth only 40,000 euros!
Although this "Pieta" is not as good as the "Pieta" found in Brooklyn, New York, created by Michelangelo and worth hundreds of millions of dollars, it is still a top-notch work of art!
The painter who painted this "Pieta" was a famous painter in the late Renaissance and one of the three masters of the Venetian School. Tintoretto was the most outstanding student and successor of the art master Titian.
To be honest, I regret it a little now. I should have chosen this classic oil painting immediately, because this "Pieta" is the most valuable painting here!
Unfortunately, I have never been interested in paintings with religious themes, so I did not start immediately. Instead, I chose Corot's "Forest of Fontainebleau", but I missed this oil painting!
Based on my understanding of Tintoretto’s paintings and my grasp of the current market conditions, I value this classic oil painting at between 35 million and 50 million euros,..."
Ye Tian, who was explaining, suddenly heard a sound of rapid breathing coming from his ears. He immediately stopped talking and turned his head to look to the side.
The rapid breathing came from Alphonse, his two clerks, and the middle-aged white couple.
At this time, Alphonse's face was red, his eyes were fixed on the classic painting by Tintoretto, without blinking, he was extremely excited, panting like an old ox pulling a cart. !
The performance of the other guys was not much better, their eyes were so wide that they almost flew out of their sockets!
As for Betty and the others, their performance was much better. After the brief shock, they regained consciousness in the blink of an eye!
They have seen this situation so many times that they have long been accustomed to it!
Seeing the performance of Alphonse and the others, Ye Tian smiled softly and did not interrupt, leaving them in shock!
More than ten seconds later, Alphonse finally regained consciousness and immediately started mumbling to himself.
"Oh my God! The Three Masters of Venice! It's actually Tintoretto's "Pieta". No wonder it has a bit of anti-classical tendency. Isn't this happiness coming too violently? It can make people crazy! ”
"Hahaha"
Everyone laughed again, feeling happy for Alphonse.
With this laughter, Alphonse woke up completely.
Immediately afterwards, the old French man said impatiently:
"Stephen, thank you so much! Thank you for your noble hand and leaving me this "Pieta". To be honest, this is the most valuable painting I have ever done, without any equal!
But I still don’t quite understand, how do you know this is a painting by Tintoretto? Except for the anti-classical tendency in this oil painting, other aspects of this oil painting seem to have little to do with Tintoretto? "
"Look here, Alphonse, there is a very faint mark on the skirt of the Virgin Mary. It is almost impossible to detect it without careful observation!
Does this trace look like a Latin T? It is Tintoretto's initials, which is Tintoretto's personal signature!
You can go to the Grand Gallery of the Louvre and take a closer look at the Tintoretto paintings displayed there. You will also find this Latin letter on those paintings.
The signatures on those paintings are not so hidden. They are not difficult to find. Comparing the two, you will understand whether this is Tintoretto's masterpiece!
I just visited the Grand Gallery of the Louvre two days ago and happened to see several Tintoretto paintings displayed there. I didn’t expect to encounter another one here!
Tintoretto’s personal signature is the most important piece of evidence. In addition, there are other parts of this oil painting that can also prove that it is Tintoretto’s work..."
Ye Tian was about to point to other places on the painting and continue explaining, but Alphonse exclaimed excitedly.
“There is actually a signature here! We are really a bunch of blind people, a bunch of arrogant idiots! We haven’t found such important evidence yet, so we have the nerve to say we are experts!
There is no doubt that this is the personal signature of Tintoretto, one of the Three Great Masters of Venice and a famous Renaissance painter. I have seen it on his works before, and I remembered it as soon as you reminded me!
Steven, you are so amazing, I am so impressed! Your vision is so sharp, even the most sophisticated microscope can only do so! Simply amazing! "
After a burst of exclamation, Ye Tian continued what he had just said and introduced this masterpiece by Tintoretto.
After introducing this classic oil painting, he walked to an oil painting standing on the ground and leaning against the wall, pointed at the oil painting and said:
“This Baroque style oil painting from the early seventeenth century is also a valuable top-notch work of art, and its value is no less than that of Pissarro’s painting!
The painter who created this oil painting on canvas is the famous Flemish genius painter and one of the representatives of Baroque art, Jacob Jordans..."
About ten minutes later, Ye Tiancai finished introducing the paintings that he had discovered a long time ago and left to Alphonse out of hesitation. Each painting was introduced very carefully and irrefutably!
After completing this promise, he said goodbye and left. Taking Betty and the three priceless oil paintings, he left the Alphonse Antique Shop and continued his crazy looting of the Saint-Ouan Flea Market!
When the group of them walked out of the antique store, the few people who stayed in the store immediately started to sigh!
"Oh my God! This guy Steven is simply a monster, so terrifying. What antique artwork can escape his eyes?"
"The Santouan flea market is over! It will definitely be robbed by this crazy guy like Steven! All the antiques and artworks of some value will be pocketed by him!
Look, after today, the world's largest and most famous antique flea market will be in mourning, and it will not be able to recover for a long time! ”
Just when Ye Tian and the others walked into the next large antique store and continued to frantically scan the goods, what happened at Alphonse Antique Store had already spread throughout the entire Saint-Ouan flea market!
Without exception, everyone who heard the news was completely stunned and could hardly believe their ears!
Of course, there are many people who are envious, jealous, and hateful to the point of going crazy. Some are envious of Ye Tian, and some are envious of Alphonse!
Even the entire French antique art collection field was completely shocked by what happened at Alphonse Antique Shop. Everyone was stunned!
