After letting everyone admire Monet's "Pond. Water Lilies" for a while, Ye Tian re-wrapped this top-notch work of art in moisture-proof oilcloth, then put it aside and leaned against the wall on the west side of the utility room. superior.
At this time, David, who had gone out to make a phone call, had also returned to the utility room.
Everyone in this utility room was staring closely at the small secret room and the things placed in the secret room, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.
Ye Tian glanced at everyone present, then pointed at the dark secret room and said:
"Derek, please move out the rest of the items in the secret room. Be careful. If you are right, the other picture frames wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin are also priceless top-notch art. Product! ”
"Okay, Steven, leave it to us"
Derrick nodded in response, and then walked into the secret room again with another company employee.
Soon, they carried another picture frame out of the secret room, and under Ye Tian's instructions, they erected this picture frame, which was also wrapped in a thick layer of moisture-proof oilcloth, against the wall.
Ye Tian did not rush to uncover the moisture-proof tarpaulin and display the artwork under the moisture-proof tarpaulin in front of everyone. Instead, he asked Derek and the others to continue carrying the other items from the secret room.
After a while, the many picture frames hidden in Balbo's secret room were moved out, and they were all leaned against the other three walls of the utility room.
At this point, only the wooden box in the center is left in the secret room.
Just as Derek and the others were preparing to move the wooden box, Ye Tian suddenly said:
"Derek, come out first and don't touch the wooden box to avoid danger. The situation in the wooden box is not clear yet. There may be traps. Let me check it later and make sure it is safe. Move that wooden box"
Hearing this, Derek and the others immediately nodded and exited the secret room.
However, Ye Tian did not immediately walk into the secret room to check the condition of the wooden box. Instead, he looked at the picture frames that had just been taken out of the secret room and were now leaning against the wall of the utility room.
The rest of the people in the utility room did the same. They all turned their heads and looked at the picture frames, everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Steven, do you think these works of art wrapped under moisture-proof tarpaulin are the works of that top artist? How much are they worth? It's really exciting!"
Bishop Kent asked curiously, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Ye Tian smiled softly and then continued:
“The art that the former Italian Air Force Marshal took a fancy to and went to great lengths to hide here must be of great importance. Balbo would not even look down on ordinary art!
I guess that under these moisture-proof tarpaulins, there must be priceless top-notch works of art. As for which art master they are, the answer will be revealed soon! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian walked towards the picture frame next to Monet's "Pond. Water Lilies". That picture frame was also the second one to be moved out of Balbo's secret room.
In the Balbo Chamber of Secrets, the picture frame was placed next to "Pond. Water Lilies". There may be some internal connection between the two.
As he came closer, Ye Tian first took the relatively small piece of art and looked at it.
Then he stretched out his hand and unzipped the rope tied to the moisture-proof tarpaulin, pulled out the rope, and then began to dismantle the layers of dark gray moisture-proof tarpaulin.
After a while, an oil painting appeared in front of everyone, and it was another Impressionist painting.
What this painting depicts is a port illuminated by the setting sun.
The close-up view shows a sparkling sea with two or three boats returning home late in the evening, while the distant view shows several sailboats preparing to dock and the port shrouded in twilight!
The moment they saw this painting, everyone couldn't help but be stunned again. Everyone was stunned and their eyes were full of disbelief!
Ye Tian, who was holding the painting, pretended to carefully appreciate and appraise the Impressionist painting, and then said jokingly:
“I didn’t expect that the former Italian Air Force Marshal Balbo was actually a loyal supporter of Impressionist art, and an avid fan of the art master Claude Monet. This is another Monet painting.
If I read it correctly, the name of this Impressionist painting should be called "Port of Le Havre at Sunset". The harbor in the painting is Le Havre, an important port in northern France.
This painting should have been created around 1872, and was a work from the same period as Monet's famous painting "Sunrise Impression". The name Impressionism comes from "Sunrise Impression"
Unsurprisingly, there was an exclamation of exclamation again at the scene. Everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's words.
"How is it possible? This is another outstanding painting by the art master Monet. Where did Balbo get these top-notch works of art? Didn't he loot a famous museum?"
"In an unknown secret room, two paintings by the art master Monet were actually found. This is simply incredible. Steven, what evidence do you have that these are works by Monet?"
Listening to these exclamations, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle, and he couldn't hide the pride on his face.
When the exclamations subsided, he smiled and said:
“Everyone must not forget that from the 1930s to 1940, Balbo was considered the second-largest figure in Italy, with huge power behind Mussolini!
At that time, it was easy for Balbo to get his favorite works of art. As long as he wanted, he could get any antique works of art he wanted.
Is this a work by Monet? Let me teach you a way to identify it. Any impressionist painting that is full of light spots but does not have a clear outline is Monet! ”
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
At the same time, the eyes of everyone looking at Ye Tian and the painting "Port of Le Havre at Sunset" were all full of envy and jealousy, and everyone's eyes were a little red!
Due to limited time, Ye Tian did not give everyone much time to appreciate this impressionist painting, nor did he explain in detail this early work of Monet's artistic career.
In addition, he did not give a valuation for this top-notch work of art.
However, everyone at the scene knew that this was definitely a priceless top-notch piece of art, and it was by no means much cheaper than the "Pond. Water Lilies" that I just saw.
You know, this is an outstanding painting by Monet, the standard bearer of Impressionism. Its sister work is the famous "Sunrise Impression" that started the trend of Impressionism!
After appreciating it for a while, Ye Tian took the moisture-proof oilcloth he had just opened, wrapped the Monet painting again, and carefully placed it with the "Water Lilies".
Next, he picked up the third picture frame, carefully unzipped the rope that tied the picture frame, and gradually unveiled the layers of moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped around the picture frame!
What appears in front of everyone this time is still a work by the Impressionist master, and it is still a priceless top-notch work of art!
However, this Impressionist oil painting is no longer a work by Monet, but an outstanding painting by another Impressionist master, Edgar Degas.
The content of the painting is several dancing ballerinas. This is Degas' favorite and best painting subject!
Unsurprisingly, as soon as Degas' "Bererina" appeared in front of everyone's eyes, it immediately attracted a burst of exclamations. Everyone was completely shocked by the appearance of this top-notch work of art!
After a while, Ye Tian gave a positive identification conclusion.
"Gentlemen, when we see such a pinnacle Impressionism painting, and the painting is a ballerina, then there is no doubt that this must be the work of the Impressionist master Edgar Degas!"
As he gave this identification conclusion, the utility room immediately boiled.
Although they had expected this result for a long time, when everyone heard the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, they were still shocked and almost crazy with envy.
As for Giovanni and Pizarro, the eyes of these two guys were blood red, full of madness, and they were a bit scary to look at.
Fortunately, before these two guys entered this Roman-style building, they handed over their guns to their subordinates and accepted the security check by Mattis and the others. There was no threat!
Otherwise, Ye Tian is really worried that these two guys will suddenly attack and rob these top-notch works of art!
After giving the appraisal conclusion, Ye Tian gave a brief explanation of Degas' "Ballerina", then rewrapped it in moisture-proof oilcloth and put it aside!
Same as before, this time he still did not give an estimate for this Impressionist masterpiece, so as not to overly stimulate the guys at the scene and make them even crazier!
You must know that relatively few of Degas's paintings have been circulated in the world, and most of them are collected in major museums around the world. There are not many paintings living abroad!
In view of this, every time a Degas work appears on the antique art market, it will cause a huge sensation and attract countless top collectors to pursue it enthusiastically.
Among all Degas's paintings, the works with the theme of ballerinas are the top priority and are the works that attract the most attention. You can imagine their prices!
After wrapping this Degas work, Ye Tian picked up the fourth frame, and then, with everyone's intense gazes on it, he unwrapped the moisture-proof oil paper little by little!
When the oil painting hidden under the moisture-proof oil paper appeared, even he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly:
“Another work by the master of Impressionism, but this time it is Renoir. I have to say that Balbo is really an extremely enthusiastic fan of Impressionism. It seems that the famous Impressionist is going to hold an exhibition here today! ”
