About three minutes later, Ye Tian finally took off the Susanna painting on the surface and held it in his hands.
At this time, the eyes of everyone in the gallery were attracted by the white cloth stretched on the backboard. Although everyone saw only a white cloth, that white cloth contained infinite possibilities!
As for the Susanna painting in Ye Tian's hand, no one cares about it anymore!
Ye Tian looked at Susanna's painting in his hand, then gently rolled it up and handed it to Betty who was standing next to him. He did not immediately put it into the retractable painting tube.
He only has two painting tubes at hand now. After taking out Gauguin's painting, he will roll them together with Susanna's human body oil painting and put them into the same painting tube!
They originally came from the same place, and they involved a romantic affair between two people. It was undoubtedly a perfect fit to put them together. Perhaps this was Susanna's original intention!
Not only that, when the auction is held in the future, Ye Tian is also planning to bundle these two oil paintings together for a public auction, creating a legend in art history!
Ye Tian squatted down again and began to dismantle the white cloth stretched on the backboard. His movements were still very careful, as gentle as caressing his first love!
Unlike before, this time he did not rush to lift a corner of the white cloth, but methodically pulled out the nails holding the white cloth one by one, preparing to reveal the answer at the last moment!
It is completely conceivable that this small gallery in Barbizon will be completely excited when Gauguin's outstanding painting is unveiled!
With Ye Tian's actions, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense. Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation, staring closely at the white cloth stretched on the backboard!
Even the unlucky Albert was the same. He also wanted to see how blind he was and what quality of painting he had missed!
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, the last nail on the white cloth was pulled out by Ye Tian.
Due to being fixed for a long time, the white cloth did not spread out and was still stretched on the back board, covering the painting below!
Ye Tian put the tools in his hands aside, then quickly glanced around the scene, and said excitedly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to witness the miracle! I believe that there must be a huge surprise hidden under this white cloth, otherwise Susanna would not be so careful!"
"Steven, hurry up and uncover that white cloth and see what kind of painting is hidden underneath. This is so exciting!"
"That's it, Steven, we can't wait to witness the miracle!"
Everyone was talking about it, everyone looked eager and excited!
"Okay, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful. Let's open our eyes!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian quickly lifted up the four corners of the white cloth, and then gently lifted it up from the backboard.
The next moment, the painting that had been hidden under the white cloth for decades or hundreds of years finally came to light and appeared in front of everyone.
As you can see, it is also a human portrait, the same as Susanna's painting, but the painting style is very different, but there are some similarities in the painting techniques!
In that painting, a beautiful woman in a long skirt was dancing on a grassy field.
The distant view of the picture is a hilly area and lush woods, while the close-up view is a meadow, a beautiful dancing woman, and a gurgling stream!
The facial contours of the beautiful woman are not clear, and the lines of her face and body are even a bit exaggerated. The distant mountains and woods, as well as the nearby grasslands and streams, are all presented with strong strips of color!
The picture presented in the whole painting is simple and simple, but full of enthusiasm. The image in the painting is highly summarized, concise and has both form and spirit. The picture has strong decorative and formal beauty.
The painter uses special compositions and bright colors to organize various elements together, so that the formal composition of each element is connected, making the painting rich in form, order, rhythm and rhythm.
The painting affixed to the walnut backboard is about the same size as the backboard, and the four sides are flush with the edges of the backboard, almost exactly the same!
It can be seen from this that this solid wood backboard is made according to that painting, so that it can be accurate and fit so well!
It can be inferred that when painting the oil painting of a human body outside, Susanna probably also referred to the size of the oil painting below to determine the size of her work!
The purpose of this is to hide the painting underneath as perfectly as possible.
In fact, Susanna did it, until Ye Tian appeared in this gallery!
As the painting appeared in front of everyone, the small gallery was quiet for a while, and then became noisy.
"Wow! It is indeed an oil painting of a beautiful young woman. It is so beautiful!"
"This seems to be a Post-Impressionist style painting, yes, this is Post-Impressionism! Is it a gift from a certain Post-Impressionist master to his lover Susanna?"
While Betty and the others were talking about it, Albert fell into a state of despair.
Unlike Betty and the others, he is a gallerist and a veritable art connoisseur.
Almost at a glance, he could see that this oil painting was of great importance and was most likely a priceless top-notch work of art!
While confirming this, he also understood what he had missed.
There is no doubt that that **** Steven looted himself like crazy! Just like those idiots who looted the Santouan flea market, they themselves could not escape such a tragic fate!
It’s too bad that I was so complacent about this art deal just now, so blind!
"Post-Impressionist painting! The woman in the painting is Susanna. This is Paul Gauguin's painting style. Oh my god, what did I miss?"
Albert muttered to himself, his voice was extremely painful, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse!
"What? Paul Gauguin, how is this possible?"
Anderson exclaimed and immediately turned to look at Albert.
Everyone else was also shocked by Albert's words.
Who is Gauguin? That was one of the three great masters of Post-Impressionism! As famous as Cézanne and Van Gogh, how much are his paintings worth? It’s unimaginable!
Everyone looked at Albert, then quickly turned back, looking at the painting on the backboard, and at Ye Tian. Everyone was extremely excited, looking forward to Ye Tian's answer!
Ye Tian turned his head and glanced at the lost Albert, then turned back to admire the painting carefully before giving a clear answer.
"Albert is right, this is a post-Impressionist painting, and it is an undoubted top-notch work of art. Both expression techniques and painting techniques have reached the pinnacle!
This beautiful woman in a long skirt dancing on the grass is none other than Susanna in her youth. At that time, she could be said to be one of the most famous women in the Paris art circle and a lover of the public!
Yes, this is indeed a work by Gauguin. Only he could paint Susanna like this. You can also see it in several other works of Gauguin. Susanna was not only his lover, but also his student!
The superb painting techniques and the unique image of Susanna are enough to explain the origin and value of this painting, but the more important evidence is here, here is Gauguin's signature! "
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to the lower right corner of the painting with a look of pride in his eyes!
Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked at the lower right corner of the painting, where there was a darker color block with the word 'P. Gauguin' clearly written on it, followed by the year of creation!
Although the string of signatures is scrawled, it is clearly visible and there is no doubt!
Unsurprisingly, the moment I saw Gauguin’s signature, this small gallery was completely blown away!
“Oh my God! It’s actually a work by Gauguin, one of the three famous masters of Post-Impressionism. It’s incredible!”
"If I remember correctly, Gauguin's "When Will You Marry" sold for a whopping $300 million. So how much is this portrait of Susanna painted by Gauguin worth?
Coupled with the emotional entanglement between Gauguin and Susanna, as well as a series of well-known love affairs in art history, the value of this painting will undoubtedly be increased!
Combining these aspects, this Gauguin painting will definitely fetch an astonishing price, and maybe it will set a new record, that would be great! "
Ye Tian looked at the ecstatic Betty and the others, then chuckled and said:
"Whether this Gauguin painting, "Portrait of Susanna" can set a new transaction record, I dare not make a judgment. It requires the cooperation of various conditions such as the right time, the right place, the right people, etc., all of which are indispensable!
But based on the artistic value of this painting and my understanding of the art market, I can be sure that the value of this "Portrait of Susanna" will never be less than $25 million!
If I choose a good time to send this Gauguin painting to the top auction, and run it properly, I believe its final transaction price will be much higher than the valuation I gave! "
Before he finished speaking, the small gallery was already boiling with excitement again, and everyone held their heads and exclaimed!
Of course, this does not include Albert. At this time, he was crying as if he were mourning his heir, not to mention how painful he felt!
