It took Matisse and the others four to fifty minutes to move all the valuable antique artworks upstairs and move them into several rooms.
The top antiques and artworks with the highest value naturally moved into the presidential suite where Ye Tian and Betty lived. Only by keeping these treasures under his control can Ye Tian rest assured!
The rest of the antique artworks of slightly less value were placed in Matisse and Anderson's rooms respectively. Under all-round surveillance without any blind spots, there was no problem with security!
While Matisse and the others were moving antique artworks, Martinez and the others were sitting in the living room of the presidential suite, drinking coffee and waiting patiently.
When they saw pieces of antique artwork being moved into the presidential suite, almost completely filling the huge presidential suite, everyone was completely shocked!
It was only then that they truly understood how many valuable antiques Ye Tian had swept away in the Saint-Ouan flea market, and how miserable the situation of the antique dealers in the Saint-Ouan flea market was!
There is no doubt that this was an extremely crazy looting, a ruthless bloodbath, unprecedented, it has never happened in France, and it has never happened even in the field of antique art collections around the world!
Of course, this cannot be compared with the robberies led by the government and the army, such as the looting of the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces, and the looting of Europe and North Africa by Napoleon.
Compared with those famous planned and organized robberies in history, Ye Tian's crazy looting of the Santouan flea market is not worth mentioning at all!
When Matisse and the others finished the moving work, Martinez immediately said impatiently:
"Steven, you are so crazy. Who would have thought that you would loot so many antiques from the Saint-Ouen Flea Market? It's incredible!
It is completely conceivable that the Saint-Ouen Flea Market must be filled with grief now. For a long time to come, the Saint-Ouen Flea Market can only slowly lick its wounds and recover its strength!
Now is it time to show you what you gained from your trip to the Saint-Ouin flea market? We’d also love to see what treasures you found at that flea market! "
"Of course there is no problem, but as you have also seen, there are a lot of antique works of art here. It is obviously impossible to appreciate and identify them one by one. That would take a long time!
In view of this, I decided to select a few representative pieces of antique art for everyone to appreciate and appreciate. This can save some time and is enough to illustrate the problem! "
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, and proudly stretched out his index finger to draw a circle in the air, pointing at the many antique works of art that filled the room, as if displaying trophies!
Seeing his exaggerated action, Martinez and the others couldn't help but feel angry and their hearts ached. At the same time, they were almost going crazy with envy!
"Okay, Steven, there are indeed too many antiques and art here. It is really impossible to appreciate and identify them all. It is already evening after all, so just do it your way!"
Benoit nodded and said, the envy in his tone could not be concealed at all.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then stood up and left his seat, walked to the fireplace, picked up an oil painting, returned to the center of the living room, and placed it on the empty coffee table.
Immediately afterwards, he gently opened the white cloth covering the oil painting and began to introduce the oil painting to everyone present.
"Gentlemen, this is an outstanding work by Corot, the French realist painting master in the 19th century, "Forest of Fontainebleau", created in the late 1920s and early 1930s!
Although this oil painting is an early work by Corot in his artistic career, it has a very special meaning. Its tone is fresh and bright, different from the silver-gray tones that Corot usually uses, making it particularly precious!
Have you ever seen the Corot painting displayed in the New York Gallery? There are many similarities between that oil painting and this one. By comparing the two, it should not be difficult to identify the authenticity of this oil painting!
Everyone here is a top antique art appraisal expert with a very sharp vision. I won’t say anything unnecessary. It’s best for everyone to appreciate and appraise it by yourself. Gentlemen, please go ahead! "
After saying that, Ye Tian made a gesture of invitation, and then sat back in his seat with a smile.
The French guys gathered around the coffee table with a roar, everyone was extremely excited and their eyes were shining!
At the same time, Anderson walked into the living room with several magnifying glasses and placed them on the coffee table for the French guys to appreciate and identify!
Next, there was a chorus of admiration and admiration in the living room!
"It's so beautiful! This is the Fontainebleau forest in the 1820s. It is in the same vein as the scenery depicted in Corot's other paintings, but the viewing angle is slightly different!"
"Obviously, this is a landscape painting that Corot created on the spot, rather than a landscape painting in memory or an oil painting created afterward based on a sketch, which is commendable!"
“The hazy twilight, the trembling forest, the clear lake, the brushwork is loose and full of charm, the virtual and the real are intertwined, and the paintings are full of poetry that alternates between fantasy and reality!
There is no doubt that this is the elegant Corot, an immortal monument in the history of landscape painting! Oh my God! I go to the Saint-Ouin flea market every week, so why wasn’t I the one who discovered this painting?
God is so unfair and so partial to that guy Steven. All the good things happened to that guy, but others could only watch with envy! "
In the midst of the admiration, the authenticity of this "Fontainebleau Forest" has become clear.
In less than ten minutes, all the antique art appraisal experts in the living room unanimously determined that this "Fontainebleau Forest" is indeed Corot's masterpiece and is a valuable top-notch work of art!
Due to limited time, Ye Tian had to speak out to wake up the obsessed French people after the appraisal conclusion was released. Otherwise, God knows how much time they would spend on this oil painting.
"Gentlemen, due to time constraints, let's just enjoy this "Forest of Fontainebleau" here. Let's enjoy the next piece of antique art, which is also a huge surprise!"
With that said, Ye Tian stood up and walked to the coffee table. Under the passionate and reluctant gazes of Martinez and others, he put away the painting "Fontainebleau Forest".
After placing the oil painting back next to the fireplace, he carried another box over and placed it on the carpet next to the coffee table!
Immediately afterwards, he opened the box, took out a small marble head sculpture, and carefully placed it on the solid wood coffee table!
Then he began to introduce this classical-style sculpture with a rather excited tone.
"Gentlemen, the sculpture before your eyes now is from the hand of Donatello, the most outstanding sculptor of the fifteenth century in the early Renaissance of Italy!
Everyone must know something about Donatello. The Louvre has a collection of his sculptures. He is a representative figure of the new era of Italian sculpture in the early Renaissance..."
Before Ye Tian could finish his words, the French guys had already pounced on him, gathered around the coffee table, and began to admire the classic sculpture!
The expressions of each of them were extremely excited, and their eyes were shining, just like the virgins who saw their first love!
At the same time, they kept exclaiming, making the atmosphere in the living room even more heated!
“I didn’t expect the rumors to be true. There are actually Donatello’s sculptures in the Santouan flea market. It’s incredible!”
"Regardless of whether this sculpture is the work of Donatello, I have decided to go to the Santouan flea market twice a week from now on. I believe that God will always favor me once!"
Time flies so fast, it’s already half past nine in the evening, and it’s dinner time!
But Martinez and the others were still enthusiastic, admiring the antique works of art one after another, without any fatigue or any intention of leaving. Everyone was extremely obsessed!
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian did not interrupt them and let them continue to admire his trophies. After all, there is not a hair missing, but it can create greater momentum!
While those French guys were obsessed and arguing about a Chardin oil painting, Ye Tian had already ordered his men to order a sumptuous dinner in the hotel restaurant and deliver it to the presidential suite!
Then he reminded Matisse to be more vigilant and beware of all scoundrels!
Those antique dealers who were robbed crazily by him and must be in grief at this moment may not be willing to swallow this bitter pill, and they will take risks if they cannot save everything!
