With a few words, Ye Tian successfully acquired the painting "The Return of the Prodigal Son" copied by Natasha, and the price given was US$25,000.
For Natasha, who was just starting out, this price was extremely tempting. When she heard Ye Tian's offer, she immediately cheered excitedly and nodded hastily in agreement.
After finishing the miniature version of "The Prodigal Son", Ye Tian told Natasha to take the "Prodigal Son Back" and other completed paintings to the hotel to find him.
I will take a look at those paintings when the time comes. If there are some relatively good ones, I might buy a few more.
Hearing this, Natasha suddenly cheered again, and then a trace of vigilance and fear flashed in her eyes, and she involuntarily took a step back.
Obviously, this beautiful Russian painter regarded Ye Tian as a **** wolf, thinking that he deceived her into going to the hotel in the name of seeing paintings, and wanted to do evil things!
Not only Natasha, many people at the scene also had the same idea.
Some guys looked at the sexy, beautiful and talented Natasha first, and then at Ye Tian, and soon a look of contempt appeared in their eyes.
Ye Tian didn't bother to talk to these guys at all, and he didn't even bother to explain.
Seeing Ye Tian's actions, David was a little ready to make a move. He also wanted to collect some of Natasha's paintings as an investment.
However, he finally held back and did not immediately make a purchase request to Natasha, otherwise, Ye Tian's wishful thinking might have come to nothing.
When Natasha arrives at the hotel with her paintings later, everyone will have time to choose from them, and it will be safer that way.
The appearance of Maxim and Natasha was just a small episode that passed in the blink of an eye.
Next, Ye Tian and the others looked at the world-famous painting hanging on the display wall in front of them, "The Return of the Prodigal Son" by Rembrandt, one of the greatest painters of the seventeenth century.
This is a huge oil painting on canvas, 262 cm wide and 205 cm high. The outer frame is a Baroque-style solid wood frame, which is gorgeous and elegant.
The theme of the painting is taken from the Bible, which is a parable of **** recorded in the Bible.
Although the theme of "The Prodigal Son" comes from the Bible, the expression method is closer to the secular world, because the characters depicted in the painting are ordinary people, not religious figures.
What it shows is that the youngest son of an old man asked his father to separate the family, and then took the allocated family property to a foreign country, and from then on lived in debauchery and debauchery.
It wasn't until he exhausted all his belongings, became penniless, and became impoverished, and all his lovers and friends left him, that he finally realized that he had returned from his lost path.
Next, the impoverished and ragged young son returned to his father. The blind father happily accepted his return and slaughtered the cow for a banquet.
When the eldest son who was working outside heard about this, he immediately rushed home and asked his father why he accepted this prodigal son but ignored himself who worked hard for the family.
The father then comforted his eldest son, "You are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But your brother was resurrected from the dead, lost and found, so we should celebrate happily."
Rembrandt used his brush to interpret this story recorded in the Bible in secular scenes. The characters are vividly and vividly depicted.
In the picture, the old man's youngest son is wearing a brown underwear, kneeling on his knees, nestled in the arms of his father in a red robe, his tattered shoes falling from his feet to the ground, and his clothes are not covering his body.
And he has no hair. In ancient Europe, if a person's hair was shaved, it symbolized the deprivation of personal marks.
The blisters on his feet and the scars exposed by his slippered sandals are clearly visible, implying the hardships and sufferings of the journey, and that he has lost everything except the short sword worn on his waist, which is a symbol of his nobility.
He still remembered his identity and that he was his father's son, otherwise he would have pawned and sold the sword. It was precisely because he remembered his son's identity that he made up his mind to turn around.
The father in the picture is old and looks frail but very kind. His eyes are blind because he misses his little son, his hands are spasming from heartache, and he is tremblingly rubbing his little son's back.
But the younger son lowered his head and did not dare to look up at his father. He said that he must make up his mind to repent, which made people feel excited and warm.
The younger son's elder brother, the eldest son, is in the darkness of the picture, which is in sharp contrast to the image of the father excitedly embracing his younger son, highlighting the eldest son's indifference and rejection, as he stands idly by.
Looking at the world-famous painting in front of him, Ye Tian was unconsciously moved by the strong family affection revealed in the painting, and he quickly became immersed in it, admiring it intoxicatedly.
The sincere emotion shown in "The Prodigal Son" is one of the main reasons why he likes this world-famous painting.
Not only Ye Tian, but also everyone else at the scene was deeply attracted and deeply moved by this world-famous painting.
For a moment, the scene was completely quiet, without any other sound.
After a long time, everyone just woke up, and there was a sound of admiration at the scene.
"Wow! This painting is so touching. Looking at this painting, I can't help but think of my father. He, like the father in the painting, gave me endless love!"
"This is really a great and touching painting. We are the ragged prodigal son, and the old man in red robe is our elderly father. It is so touching!"
Amidst the continuous exclamations of admiration, some people may have been touched by the nerves related to family ties, and they could not help but shed tears in their eyes.
After a while, when everyone's mood stabilized a little, someone immediately said loudly:
"Stephen, let me tell you about this world-famous painting. As we all know, you are the world's top antique art appraisal expert. You must have seen and understood more things than us"
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene immediately responded, asking Ye Tian to explain the painting "The Return of the Prodigal Son" to everyone.
Ye Tian glanced at everyone present, then raised his hands and gently pressed them down to signal everyone to be quiet.
Seeing his gesture, everyone at the scene immediately became quiet and looked at Ye Tian expectantly, looking forward to his professional and vivid explanation.
The next moment, Ye Tian's clear voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, since you want to hear my explanation of this painting, it's better to obey my orders and I will explain it to you.
In fact, I really like this masterpiece by Rembrandt, "The Return of the Prodigal Son", and I feel honored to be able to explain this painting to you."
"Pa bang bang"
Warm applause suddenly sounded, and everyone present gave Ye Tian their own applause.
When the applause died down, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said loudly:
"As for the content of the painting "The Prodigal Son", I will not introduce it here. I believe most people are familiar with it. Even if they are not familiar with it, the introduction next to the painting is very clear."
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed at the electronic screen next to "The Prodigal Son Returns", on which the story of the Prodigal Son's Return was written very clearly in multiple languages.
After the words fell, everyone on the scene nodded slightly in unison, with no different opinions.
Next, Ye Tian got to the point and began to analyze this world-famous painting in public.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to better appreciate this painting "The Prodigal Son", you must understand the life of the art master Rembrandt, because to a certain extent, this painting is the epitome of Rembrandt's life. True portrayal.
Rembrandt was one of the greatest painters in Europe in the 17th century and the greatest painter in Dutch history. His life was both famous and full of ups and downs, and he created countless priceless top-notch works of art.
His achievements were brilliant in the first half of his life, but his artistic path and life reached a dead end. In the second half of his life, he experienced great changes in his beliefs and artistic style. His rich life experience gave him new creative power.
After the transformation, or in other words, after the transformation, Rembrandt began to rethink life, beliefs and paintings; as a philosopher said: 'Only those who have experienced the suffering of **** have the power to build heaven.'
Since then, he has increasingly chosen deeply human themes to express the love, mercy and forgiveness of God the Father, rather than dazzling revelations or miraculous moments.
"The Return of the Prodigal Son" is the pinnacle of Rembrandt's later years and his most representative work. It is also the last and perhaps the greatest religious-themed oil painting in Rembrandt's artistic career. .
This painting "The Prodigal Son Returns" presents soul-shaking power and is different from the previous artistic conception. The characters, colors, light sources and compositions in the painting have a completely new interpretation, which was unique at the time.
These paintings that expressed faith in Rembrandt's later years were not popular at the time. However, at this time, Rembrandt no longer painted to cater to the public and society. His art was only for faith and for society. Truth,..."
As the explanation unfolded, the attention of everyone present was firmly attracted, and everyone listened and enjoyed the "Prodigal Son Returns" intoxicatedly.
The entrance to the Rembrandt Hall where everyone is now is blocked, and people are constantly coming here to join in the listening process.
