Afternoon, Musée d'Orsay.
This museum is located on the south bank of the Seine, across the river from the Louvre and the Tuileries Garden. It is one of the three major art treasure houses in Paris. It mainly displays Western art works created between 1848 and 1914.
Among them, Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings from the 19th to 20th centuries are the most popular, so it is also known as the "Palace of Impressionist Painters".
At this time, Ye Tian and the others were in the Impressionist painting exhibition hall on the third floor of the Musée d'Orsay, intoxicatedly admiring the Impressionist paintings displayed here.
Just like when he visited the Louvre before, Ye Tian was admiring the top-notch artwork in front of him while explaining it in a low voice to Betty and Anderson.
"This painting "The Ball at the Moulin Garrett" was created in 1876. It is a representative work of Renoir, a famous French early impressionist painter. It is a masterpiece of Renoir's painting skills and experience.
In Renoir's life, this oil painting can be said to be the most important and famous work. It is also one of the most important masterpieces of Impressionism. It is also a treasure of the Musee d'Orsay.
This Impressionist painting is large in size, about 130 cm high and 175 cm wide. The painting is very rich in content and was completed outdoors in the open air, which is very rare.
It can be seen that this work has a sweet style, a leisurely atmosphere, full of rich tones wherever the sunlight reaches, a bright and tranquil face and rich body language, making it a classic in the history of painting.
Renoir used impressionist painting techniques to express grand scenes and lively and joyful atmosphere. In the picture, an open-air cafe and dance hall in Paris is crowded and lively!
The people participating in the dance are of various shapes and sizes, beaming with joy, and the picture is lively and joyful. The characters in the painting have mottled light and shadow on their faces and bodies, as well as on the table and floor, and there are shimmering and blurred light and color changes.
This is a full manifestation of Impressionism's high sensitivity to changes in light and color. In this painting, Renoir fully demonstrated the main Impressionist painting techniques, which is breathtaking!
Let’s take a look at the close-up of this painting. Along the strip railings at the edge of the dance floor, the painting is divided into two spaces with different density. People inside are dancing, and people outside are chatting freely..."
With Ye Tian's wonderful and professional explanation, Betty and the others were attentively admiring the Impressionist masterpiece in front of them, with everyone looking intoxicated.
Unconsciously, they were immersed in the wonderful artistic conception created by the painting, as if they were in the café on Montmartre in Paris in the 19th century, and seemed to be dancing happily in an open-air ball.
While Ye Tian and the others were admiring the Impressionist works of art, Matisse and the others were on high alert, standing in a fan shape behind Ye Tian and the others, closely watching the scene.
Fortunately, this is the Musée d'Orsay. No matter how crazy the Pink Panther guys are, they probably won't dare to launch a brazen attack here to seek revenge on Ye Tian.
So, during the entire visit, Ye Tian and the others did not encounter any interference. They enjoyed admiring the Impressionist masterpieces in this museum and swimming in the ocean of art.
It took Ye Tianfang about three minutes to finish explaining Renoir's masterpiece, "Garrette's Ball at the Mill."
Next, they admired the painting carefully for a while, then left to admire another Impressionist painting hanging next to it.
In the following hours, they successively appreciated Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait", Monet's "Blue Water Lilies", Cézanne's "Still Life with Onions", and Gauguin's "Two Women on the Beach"
In addition to these famous Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, there are also Ingres's "Fountain", Camille Pissarro's "Red Roofs in Pontoise", and Rodin's "Inferno". Door" and so on.
This is a veritable palace of Impressionist art. Top-notch works of art by masters can be seen everywhere. The artistic trends of the 19th century flow here and are filled with the beauty created in the 19th century!
It was not until six o'clock in the afternoon that the Musee d'Orsay closed, and Ye Tian and the others ended their visit and reluctantly walked out of the museum, preparing to visit the Champs Elysées on the other side of the Seine.
Although the Musée d'Orsay is not far from the Champs Elysées, the current situation is special. For safety reasons, Ye Tian and the others gave up the idea of walking there and prepared to take a bus.
After coming out of the Orsay Museum, several Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs were parked on the roadside in front of the museum, waiting for Ye Tian and the others.
Soon, Ye Tian and the others got into the car and prepared to set off.
At this moment, Ye Tian's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Benoit, the director of the Fontainebleau Palace Museum.
The phone was connected, and Benoit’s familiar voice came over immediately.
"Good afternoon, Steven, you should have finished visiting, right? I guess the time is almost up, so I'm calling you so as not to disturb your enjoyment of visiting the museum and appreciating the art!"
"Good afternoon, Benoit, you are so thoughtful. We have been at the Musée d'Orsay, admiring the Impressionist masterpieces, and just after we came out, we received your call.
What's the matter with you? Do you have good news for me? Has the Palace of Fontainebleau already made a decision to exchange the collection of Chinese antiques for those jewels? "
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, excitement flashing in his eyes.
He knew very well why Benoit called him. It must have been for the three top-level jewelry that once belonged to Queen Mary.
The facts were just as he expected!
Benoit's voice came over again, and he sounded quite excited.
"You are right, Steven. After several discussions, we have made a decision to accept your terms of exchange and exchange the collection of Chinese antiques for Queen Mary's pieces of jewelry.
Of course, there are certain restrictions on this art transaction. The transaction must be fair and transparent. Our Palace of Fontainebleau is not someone who has been taken advantage of and allowed to be robbed by a crazy guy like you!
As far as I know, the Louvre and the Guimet Museum have also agreed and are willing to exchange their collections of Chinese antiques for those top-level jewelry. I wonder which museum you will choose for the transaction? "
“Since it is a transaction, of course it must be open and transparent to ensure that both parties can get what they want and benefit from it. This is the way to do business and everyone is happy.
This transaction must be based on the market value of the transaction object. As for the market value of those antique artworks, you and I know very well, there is no secret.
You are right, Benoit, the Louvre and the Guimet Museum have indeed agreed and are ready to exchange the collection of Chinese antiques for those jewelry pieces!
But I have not decided whether to trade with them. I have been waiting for news from your Palace of Fontainebleau, and sure enough, I still waited for this good news.
I am a professional treasure hunter and a businessman. Needless to say, maximizing profits is my goal, and I will definitely choose the trading plan that is most beneficial to me.
Before the transaction, I will carefully compare the chips offered by both of you. Whichever company’s chips make me excited, I will choose that company. I believe you will understand my choice! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, showing his fangs, ready to ruthlessly rob the French.
Hearing his words, Benoit immediately fell silent.
After a moment of pause, the Frenchman gritted his molars and said angrily:
"Steven, you are really the most greedy **** I have ever seen. Your actions are so dark. You clearly want to rob us, but you speak so grandly!
Who put Queen Mary's top-notch jewelry in your hands, and we really want to collect those treasures? It seems that we can only be ransacked by you.
When will you come to the Palace of Fontainebleau? Select Chinese antique art for trading, if possible, I hope you can come to our museum as soon as possible, we are very welcome! "
"It's just a matter of these few days. I won't keep you waiting. I will inform you before I go. To be honest, I am very much looking forward to the trip to the Palace of Fontainebleau, and even more to seeing your collection of Chinese antiques and art. !
Those Chinese antiques and artworks from the Yuanmingyuan, the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens", have been living in foreign lands for more than a hundred years. I would be very honored if I could exchange them and send them back to China! "
Ye Tian gave an ambiguous answer and said a few words of emotion.
"Well, Steven, I'm looking forward to receiving your call, and I hope to complete this antique art transaction! That's it for today, I wish you have a good day, bye!"
After saying goodbye, Benoit hung up the phone.
This old guy is obviously a thief and doesn't want to talk about the origins of the many Chinese antiques and artworks in the Palace of Fontainebleau. He also knows that he is wrong!
At the same time, Ye Tian and his convoy have passed the highway bridge over the Seine River, entered the Place de la Concorde, bypassed the Place de la Concorde, and reached the famous Champs Elysées!
