"The auction preview of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, "Lisa Gradini" will begin tomorrow, and for this one day only, the preview location: Vatican Museums"
As this brief message appeared on the Internet and was quickly reproduced by other news media, it spread like the wind throughout the world, immediately attracting countless attention.
Especially in the field of antique art collection and art auction, this news is like a tsunami, sweeping almost everywhere and making everyone crazy.
When the sun rises again and a new day arrives, the Vatican Museums also usher in an extremely lively day.
Countless antique art appraisal experts, art lovers, critics, top collectors, art brokers, auction house professionals, and senior executives of many famous museums, etc.
Of course, there are also many news media reporters who love to join in the fun.
All these people came from all over the world overnight, swarming into Rome and into the Vatican. There was a steady stream of people, and more people were on their way to Rome.
Leonardo Da Vinci's "Lisa Gradini" is said to be a masterpiece of artistic quality no less than the "Mona Lisa". Its emergence has also solved many mysteries in the history of art. .
This is the first time "Lisa Gradini" has been publicly exhibited, and it is only a one-day auction preview. God knows who will eventually end up with this priceless treasure, and whether it will be publicly exhibited in the future.
For most people, this auction preview is probably the only opportunity in their lives to appreciate "Lisa Gradini" up close, and it is definitely not to be missed.
It's almost nine o'clock in the morning, and the Vatican Museum has not yet opened its doors, but the front of the museum and St. Peter's Square are already crowded and lively.
There are already several lines of tourists waiting to enter the museum, extending from the entrance of the museum, through St. Peter's Square, and even to Rome.
Without exception, the center of topic for everyone in these teams is "Lisa Gradini", Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, which is about to be seen by the public and exhibited publicly for the first time.
"Oh my god! There are too many people waiting in line to visit the museum, but the Vatican Museums are only open until 1:30 noon. Can it be our turn to visit "Lisa Gradini"? If the opening hours can be extended, Okay! ”
"I guess there is no chance. I just heard someone said that the Vatican Museum will not extend its opening hours. The afternoon is the viewing time for the super rich and top collectors, and it is not open to the public.
This means that if we want to appreciate "Lisa Gradini" up close, we can only pray for God's blessing and allow us to enter the Vatican Museum as soon as possible"
In the midst of people's discussion, nine o'clock in the morning has quietly arrived.
The Vatican Museums opened on time and began to accept tourists.
The first wave of tourists who checked in to enter the museum were like a group of wild horses as soon as they entered the museum. According to the signs in the museum, they spread their legs and rushed straight to the second floor. The scene was spectacular. For spectacular!
The reason why this happened is because the preview exhibition hall of "Lisa Gradini" is on the second floor.
It was a temporary independent exhibition hall, and there was only one painting "Lisa Gradini" in the exhibition hall.
Seeing these almost crazy visitors running away, the staff of the Vatican Museums were startled and all of them were stunned.
Even Ye Tian and the others, who had just finished setting up the exhibition and were still in the museum, were shocked and a bit eye-opening.
When many visitors rushed to the entrance of the exhibition hall on the second floor of the museum, they were stopped by the security personnel at the door. They had to queue up again and enter the exhibition hall in batches in an orderly manner.
When they finally entered the exhibition hall, they found that there were more security personnel than visitors. Moreover, "Lisa Gradini" was covered with a very strong and bulletproof glass cover, so they could not get too close.
But at least they could appreciate this Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece up close, so these visitors had no time to care about it and hurried forward to start admiring this "Lisa Gradini".
At the same time, Ye Tian and his group walked into other exhibition halls to appreciate the antique works of art displayed in those exhibition halls.
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye it is already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and there are less than ten minutes until the Vatican Museum closes.
However, the entrance to the preview exhibition hall was still full of tourists waiting to enter, including many professionals, collectors and art lovers who came specially from all over the world.
Seeing that the closing time was approaching, I had traveled all the way to the Vatican, but it was very likely that my trip would be in vain and I would not be able to see "Lisa Gradini" at all. These people couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Compared to before, the entrance of the exhibition hall has become much noisier. People's faces are full of anxiety, their eyes are full of disappointment, and there are constant discussions on the spot!
Seeing this situation, the Vatican Museum managers felt a little headache and their expressions became much more solemn. For a moment, they didn’t know how to deal with it.
At this moment, Ye Tian, Betty and the others suddenly appeared from the stairs in front and walked towards the exhibition hall.
The moment they saw Ye Tian and the others, the eyes of many people at the entrance of the exhibition hall lit up, and hope was rekindled in their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, someone at the scene loudly said:
"Steven, it's almost half past one. It's the closing time of the Vatican Museum. Can you ask the museum to extend the preview time so that everyone can go in and enjoy "Lisa Gradini"
I came all night from Los Angeles just for "Lisa Gradini". I believe there must be many tourists like me. We can't let everyone's trip go in vain, right? That's so unkind! ”
The speaker is a collector from Los Angeles, USA. Ye Tian had met this guy before during the spring auction season in New York, and it was a close relationship.
As soon as this person finished speaking, other tourists at the scene immediately responded.
Everyone has the same desire. They all want to admire Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "Lisa Gradini" in the exhibition hall. No one wants to go to the exhibition hall in vain.
Especially those visitors who have come all the way to the Vatican just to admire this oil painting are even more eager to enter the exhibition hall.
Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but stopped and glanced at the tourists lined up at the entrance of the exhibition hall, waiting to enter and looking at him expectantly.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his hands and pressed them down gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
When the noise at the scene subsided, he immediately smiled and said loudly:
“Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, I’m Steven. I’m glad to see you all here. I’m glad that you can come to visit this auction preview and appreciate “Lisa Gradini”.
I understand everyone's mood very well, but today's preview must end at 1:30 noon, and the auction will be held in the evening. I want to leave enough appreciation time for the bidders participating in the auction.
Although I am temporarily unable to meet your requirements for entering the exhibition hall to enjoy "Lisa Gradini", I can make some changes to meet your requirements and not let you go away disappointed.
At tonight's auction, I will ask the successful buyers to extend the public exhibition appropriately if circumstances permit, in order to satisfy everyone's desire to appreciate this oil painting.
No matter whether the super rich man or the top collector succeeds in the bidding tonight, I believe he will not refuse this proposal. As for the Vatican Museum, they will certainly not refuse such a good thing."
Before he finished speaking, warm applause erupted from the scene.
"Pa bang bang"
Everyone present, whether they liked Ye Tian or not, gave him their own applause at this time.
Accompanied by enthusiastic applause, there were bursts of cheers and cheers.
"Well done, Steven, we look forward to your good news!"
"Great! Steven, our trip was not in vain"
Amidst the cheers, Ye Tian smiled and nodded gently to everyone present, and then led Betty and the others into the exhibition hall.
Outside the museum, a luxury motorcade drove quickly along the Avenue de la Concorde and stopped steadily at the edge of St. Peter's Square.
As the doors of the luxury cars in the motorcade opened, some super-rich people and top collectors who were very familiar to Italians and even all Europeans got out of those luxury cars one after another and stood at the edge of the square.
The next moment, there was a commotion in St. Peter's Square. All the tourists on the border side turned to look at the entrance of the square and started talking enthusiastically.
"Look! That's Maria, the richest man in Italy and one of the richest women in the world. The person getting out of the Rolls-Royce behind her is Silvio Berlusconi, the former Prime Minister of Italy and the former The richest man!"
"There are also France's richest man Bernard, Germany's top collector Fried, and Greece's top collector Dimitris. My God! What kind of private auction is this? The lineup is too exaggerated. ”
Amidst the exclamations one after another, the super-rich and top collectors who had just got off the car had already entered St. Peter's Square one after another under the protection of bodyguards and Vatican police.
At this time, although they were all very polite, they greeted each other with smiles and greeted each other, as if they were meeting old friends.
However, the flames of fighting are burning in each of their eyes, and there is an aura of giving up to others.
"Steven, Maria and Berlusconi have arrived, they have just entered St. Peter's Square and are walking towards the museum"
Cole's voice came from the earphones, announcing the situation outside.
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian's face immediately burst into a bright smile.
