As everyone expected, the second thing taken out from the wall in the next room was still an oil painting, but it was larger in size.
When Ye Tian uncovered the moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapping the oil painting, the oil painting that had been hidden in the wall for more than two hundred years finally came to light and appeared in front of everyone.
Next, Ye Tian carefully unfolded the oil painting, laid it on the table, and then took off the white linen covering the oil painting.
With his actions, the oil painting finally revealed its true face.
This is a historical landscape painting with classicism in artistic style. The content of the painting is based on ancient Roman myths and legends, telling the birth of the flower **** Flora.
The artist who created this oil painting is Nicolas Poussin, a famous French painter in the seventeenth century, the founder of French classicism painting, and a master of Baroque art.
Although Poussin was a famous French painter, he spent most of his artistic career, including his entire peak period, in Italy, and finally died in Italy.
He left many works in Italy, and it is normal to discover his oil paintings in Milan.
With the appearance of Poussin's "The Birth of the Flower Goddess", the scene once again aroused a wave of restlessness and bursts of exclamations.
Similar to Caravaggio's "Escape to Egypt", this is also a top-notch work of art, with no less than its artistic value or market value!
Looking at this beautiful historical landscape painting, everyone at the scene was extremely excited, and everyone's eyes were full of envy, even jealousy.
As for Giovanni and the others, their eyes were completely red, and they looked quite scary.
As before, when several experts and scholars at the scene unanimously determined that this was a work from the peak of Poussin's artistic career, someone immediately made an offer to acquire this top-notch work of art.
The two media reporters who were covering the scene curiously asked about the valuation of the oil painting.
Ye Tian directly rejected those acquisition requests. He told everyone present that he planned to collect this top-notch work of art and would display it in his private museum in the future!
As for the valuation of this oil painting, he just smiled softly and did not give a specific figure!
Even so, everyone at the scene knew very well that this was definitely a priceless piece of top-notch art!
After appraising and appreciating this Poussin work, Ye Tian rerolled the oil painting, put it into a telescopic painting tube, and put it aside.
Then, he took the third item he had just discovered and prepared to take it apart to see what kind of treasure was wrapped under the moisture-proof tarpaulin.
At this moment, Tony's voice came through the walkie-talkie again, sounding like the sound of nature.

"Steven, we found two more secret compartments. One of the secret compartments is very long, nearly two meters long and about twenty centimeters high. Each of these two secret compartments hides something. The outside is also wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin!”
As soon as they heard the report, Ye Tian and David had bright smiles on their faces.
"Gentlemen, it seems that a huge oil painting is about to reappear in the world. I just didn't know it. This is the work of a top art master. Let's go and have a look. This opportunity is rare and must not be missed. ! ”
With that said, Ye Tian made a gesture of invitation, and then led everyone towards the door.
At his signal, David stayed in this room with two employees of Intrepid Exploration Company and two armed security personnel to guard several top-notch works of art placed in this room.
……
More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Tony and the others have completed the work of demolishing the wall, which was built in the late 18th century. The red bricks taken from the wall have been spread all over the room.
The wall hidden behind this wall and built in the late fifteenth century has once again revealed its true appearance after more than two hundred years.
On this ancient wall, twelve hidden grids were dug out, with different sizes and locations, directly turning this wall into a Duobao Pavilion, but it’s just not very beautiful!
Each of these twelve secret compartments hides an item, wrapped in black moisture-proof tarpaulin.
After Ye Tian's inspection and speculation, these twelve items that had been hidden for more than two hundred years were all oil paintings.
These oil paintings vary in size and were painted by art masters from different eras. Each oil painting is valuable, and can even be said to be a priceless top-notch work of art.
Due to limited time and the poor environment here, Ye Tian did not open all twelve oil paintings for on-site appreciation and appraisal. He only opened the four oil paintings he originally discovered!
Without exception, these four oil paintings are priceless top-notch works of art.
In addition to the two oil paintings by Caravaggio and Poussin, the other two oil paintings are by the masters of art Veronese and Barocci respectively, and these two oil paintings are works at the peak of their artistic careers.
In particular, Veronese's work is very large, about two meters long and one and a half meters wide. The content is about a famous battle in the history of ancient Greece, the Battle of the Peloponnese. The picture is very visually impactful.
The moment Ye Tian opened the oil painting, everyone at the scene was completely shocked, and even made everyone fall into an almost crazy situation, and they could not calm down for a long time!
Ye Tian did not open the remaining eight oil paintings one by one. First, time did not allow and the occasion was not suitable.
Although they did not see these eight oil paintings with their own eyes, everyone at the scene knew that these eight oil paintings were priceless top-notch works of art and must have been produced by famous top art masters.
After showing the four oil paintings, Ye Tian put away all twelve oil paintings and sent company employees and armed security personnel to closely guard them. No one could touch them without his permission!
Next, he took David and the others back to the room where the secret grid was located, and witnessed the subsequent exploration on the spot.
When Tony and the others finished demolishing the outer wall and the dust settled a little, Ye Tian stepped forward and began to inspect the wall that had been dug into the Duobao Pavilion and the ceiling above.
He pretended to check it carefully, then turned to everyone present and said:
“Apart from these twelve simple but practical secret compartments and the oil paintings hidden in these secret compartments, there are no other secrets on this wall built at the end of the 15th century.
However, there should be unknown secrets in the ceiling above. If I guessed correctly, this ceiling can be disassembled, but I don’t know what is hidden inside! ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling above his head.
Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked at the mottled ceiling and at the gap where the ceiling and the wall intersected. Everyone was full of curiosity!
At the same time, Tony and the others had moved the ladder over and placed it close to the wall.
Ye Tian then walked to the ladder and said with a smile:
"Tony, let me do it this time, you can just watch from below"
As soon as he finished speaking, he climbed onto the ladder.
As he spoke, he reached the top of the ladder and began to check the condition of the ceiling and walls.
In just a moment, he suddenly stretched out his hands, held the ceiling close to the wall from bottom to top, and slowly lifted it up.
With his movements, the ceiling was immediately lifted up, revealing a dark space behind the ceiling!
