Because testing and identification take time, the scientific test results on Botticelli’s portrait will not be released until a day and a half later.
However, under Ye Tian’s on-site prompts, through experience, visual judgment, and the assistance of some commonly used identification equipment, many experts from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts quickly came to accurate identification conclusions.
There is no doubt that this classical oil painting is indeed from the top art master Botticelli, and it is one of his experimental works. It has extraordinary special significance and is a priceless treasure!
After everyone reached a consensus and confirmed the identification conclusion, ecstatic cheers immediately erupted in the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, the highest art school in the world.
Next, Mario and the others quickly surrounded Ye Tian like stars holding the moon. Everyone was extremely enthusiastic, with bright smiles on their faces, looking at Ye Tian expectantly!
Ye Tian naturally knows why they behave like this!
Without a second thought, these guys are trying to leave behind this top-notch piece of art that has special meaning and is priceless.
And this is exactly what Ye Tian wants to see.
When he decided to come to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts to appraise this classical oil painting with Mario and the others, he anticipated this situation and thought of a strategy to deal with it!
"Mario, I fully understand your desire to keep this Botticelli painting. For your academy, this painting has extraordinary special significance and is priceless.
By studying this portrait, you can not only understand Botticelli's process of learning oil painting as an art creation form, but also understand the initial development of oil painting in Italy.
Once the relevant research results are released, they will definitely cause a huge sensation, and will also bring you many honors to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, further consolidating your position in the field of art.
But I am a professional treasure hunter, and this is the treasure I found, and it is also my product. If you really like this painting and want to keep it, you can buy it.
In my case, the door to transactions is always open. Previously in the Michelangelo Square, I gave a valuation for this painting. Its valuation is 80 million euros, which is either lower or higher.
If you can accept the valuation I gave, then you can complete the art transaction. If not, then I am very sorry. I can only take away this classical oil painting and find another buyer! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, showing his fangs.
This was one of the reasons why he came to the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. It would be great if he could dispose of this painting on the spot in Florence, which would save a lot of trouble!
"Wow! 80 million euros, this valuation is too exaggerated and a bit sensational. What a huge fortune this is!"
"Steven, you are exactly like the legend. Not only are you extremely sharp-sighted and ruthless, but you are also extremely greedy."
These guys from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts all exclaimed. While they were shocked, they did not forget to criticize Ye Tian!
Ye Tian did not respond to these guys with exaggerated expressions and bluffing. He just looked at them with a smile and waited for these guys to make a decision.
After thinking for a moment, Mario said in a deep voice:
"Steven, this price is too high and we can't afford it. We are not super rich, but an art school with a limited budget, and the budget has already been arranged!
For a while, we really can’t afford such an astronomical sum of money to purchase this Botticelli painting. Can the price be lower? Or we can borrow the exhibition”
"It's definitely not possible to borrow the exhibition, Mario. You and I know the reason very well, so you don't need me to explain it clearly, right? There is no room for negotiation on the price. You also know whether this valuation is reasonable.
There is no doubt that this painting will be included in the list of art works restricted from leaving the country. Before leaving Italy, I hope to sell it. If you can't, I can only find other buyers or send it for auction."
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head and said, but his tone was extremely firm and there was no room for doubt.
"What a cunning bastard. He doesn't leave any chance. He is completely invulnerable."
Mario muttered something to himself angrily and fell into deep thought again.
Before waiting for the other party to respond, Ye Tian continued with a smile:
"I can give you a suggestion, Mario. Your college may have a limited budget, but you can contact the shareholders of the Academy of Fine Arts and those super-rich patrons.
They can come forward to acquire this painting and then donate it to you, or you can borrow it from them for exhibition and leave the painting at the Academy of Fine Arts, which will still achieve your goal! "
Before he finished speaking, Mario's eyes suddenly lit up, like a pair of searchlights, and he obviously saw hope.
The other guys at the Academy of Fine Arts are the same, their eyes are shining with excitement!
After chatting for a few more words, Mario took out his mobile phone and went to the side to contact the sponsors of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, tricking those super rich people into paying for the painting and donating it to the Academy of Fine Arts!
That is undoubtedly the best result. Even if the Academy of Fine Arts can borrow the exhibition, it can still achieve its goal and obtain a series of important research results!
As for Ye Tian and the others, they quickly left the conference room.
They went to visit the Academy of Fine Arts Museum in Florence. This was the main purpose of their visit to the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence!
In the Academy of Fine Arts Gallery in Florence, Michelangelo's immortal masterpiece "David" is displayed. It is an original work, not a copy. It is definitely not to be missed!
In addition, there is another Pietà sculpture by Michelangelo here, as well as four unfinished tall slave sculptures, which are said to be a portrayal of Michelangelo's mood at that time!
In addition to a series of sculptures by Michelangelo, there are also many famous sculptures displayed throughout this art gallery, including works by famous sculpture masters such as Donatello and Cellini.
There are not only a large number of sculptures here, but also many top-notch paintings, mainly works by Florentine painters during the Renaissance.
Among them are works by top art masters such as Raphael, Giotto, Masaccio, and Botticelli. Each piece is priceless and full of artistic charm.
It can be said that although this art gallery is small in scale, it is a temple of Renaissance art that everyone who travels to Florence should not miss.
Unconsciously, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.
After half a day of sightseeing, Ye Tian and the others finally returned to the Medici Villa Hotel by car.
As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, Ye Tian and the others looked up and saw that the lobby manager led a few people to come straight towards them, with a slightly nervous expression and a bit of fear in his eyes.
Almost all of these guys have unfamiliar faces, ranging in height, short, fat, and thin, and ranging in age from their twenties to their forties. Everyone is full of violence and has a fierce look in their eyes. He doesn't look like a good person!
Among these guys, there is a familiar face, it is the unlucky stall owner who was robbed by Ye Tian in the Michelangelo Square in the afternoon!
At this time, this guy was gnashing his teeth and glaring at Ye Tian, his eyes full of hatred and fear, which could not be concealed at all!
The first time he saw these guys, Ye Tian understood that these guys came with bad intentions and were obviously looking for trouble. They must have come for Botticelli's painting!
In addition to these menacing guys, there were also several Italian policemen in plainclothes on the scene, standing seven or eight meters away from the side, staring eagerly at this place, on high alert.
Cole and the others reacted very quickly. The moment they saw those guys, they immediately stepped forward and established a line of defense two meters in front of Ye Tian and Betty, staring at those guys with vigilance!
Seeing Cole's quick reactions and well-trained actions, the expressions of the unidentified guys suddenly changed, and a look of fear flashed in everyone's eyes.
When they reached a place two or three meters away from Ye Tian, those guys were stopped by Cole and the others and had to stop.
As soon as he stood still, the lobby manager whispered solemnly:
"Good evening, Mr. Steven, excuse me, these gentlemen have something to talk to you about. They are members of the Casamonica family and come from Rome"
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but frown, and a fierce murderous intention flashed deep in his eyes.
Casa Monica, a member of the Mafia family, and the most arrogant and domineering Mafia family in Italy, is interesting!
