Ye Tian turned a deaf ear to the discussions two or three meters away and still concentrated on displaying the scroll in his hand without daring to be distracted at all.
The same goes for the two Forbidden City cultural and museum staff beside me. They woke up immediately after being stunned for a moment and continued to assist in setting up the exhibition! very professional!
But it can be seen from their eyes that they have become more excited.
Without even thinking about it, the painting in front of you must be a lost treasure from the Forbidden City. Now that it is back, can you not be excited?
More and more parts of the painting were displayed, and the discussion at the scene became louder and louder.
After the two collection seals at the top, the next picture that appears in front of everyone is two towering, steep peaks, overlapping and dense, distant and distant!
The two mountain peaks are located in the center of the picture. The rocks are majestic and beautiful, and the cold forest and dead trees all over the mountain peaks give off a bleak atmosphere, but there is no sense of desolation.
Obviously, this ancient painting depicts a valley scene in winter.
From just less than a quarter of the picture, everyone can see that this ancient painting has a majestic composition and vigorous and skillful brushwork. It is definitely a top-notch work of art from the hands of a master.
Ye Tian's movements were slow and slow, and he was still very cautious.
In his hands, the moving pictures continue to unfold!
More mountain peaks appear on the screen, distributed around the two main peaks near and far. The peaks stand tall and waterfalls flow down from the mountains. A spiritual and beautiful atmosphere suddenly hits the face.
Further down, the spire of a pavilion suddenly appears in the center of the picture, in front of everyone.
Seeing this, the scene was completely boiling, and exclamations began to sound wildly.
"The Tower of Xiao Temple! That is definitely the Tower of Xiao Temple! "Picture of Xiao Temple in Qingluan" by Li Cheng of the Fifth Dynasty, my God! It is actually this famous painting of national treasure level, it is incredible!"
"Yes! This is Li Cheng's "Qingluan Xiaosi Picture"! It has been lost overseas for almost a hundred years, right? I didn't expect to see it here. It's like a dream!
Even in my dreams, the scene in front of me is not as beautiful as this. Isn’t this national treasure ancient painting in the Nelson Museum in Kansas, USA? Why did it fall into the hands of Ye Tian?
This guy is so surprising. The first ancient painting displayed is actually Li Cheng’s masterpiece. What treasures will appear next? I can’t even think about it! "
Compared with others, several cultural experts and museum staff from the Forbidden City were obviously more excited, almost crazy!
"I really didn’t expect that Ye Tian actually got this national treasure-level painting. It’s so awesome! There’s nothing to say. I must get this ancient painting and bring it back to the world after a hundred years. Forbidden City! ”
"There are only four or five paintings of Li Cheng that have survived to this day. Each one is a rare treasure, and they are all collected in museums and cannot be seen on the market at all.
Since this "Picture of Xiao Temple in Qingluan" has reappeared at the entrance of the Forbidden City, it means that it is destined to the Forbidden City. How could you miss it? No matter what, I will take it down at any cost! "
The atmosphere at the scene became extremely warm. Everyone stared at the scroll in Ye Tian's hand with bright eyes, their eyes were burning and hot, and they were unwilling to look away for a moment.
It seems that as soon as you look away, this famous national treasure painting will disappear from everyone's eyes and fly to the other side of the ocean again!
The movements of Ye Tian's hands were very stable and were not affected by the environment at all!
In his hands, the "Picture of Xiao Temple in Qingluan", which had been lost overseas for nearly a hundred years, gradually revealed its true appearance in front of everyone.
The middle scene of the picture appears. Behind a cold forest of dead trees, there stands a tall and majestic pavilion. That is the Xiaosi Tower, with carved beams and painted beams, magnificent!
When Li Cheng painted this pavilion, he obviously used a boundary ruler. The shapes of all pavilions and pavilions are very neat, rigorous, meticulous and steady!
This technique is rare in traditional Chinese ink landscape painting, and in the Five Dynasties more than a thousand years ago, only Li Cheng demonstrated this technique. He is the only one to show it, and no one else has a semicolon!
Below the Xiao Temple and on the left and right sides, there are three or four hills, covered with mountains and forests, and the flowing water has twists and turns, which are moving and beautiful.
In the blink of an eye, the screen has been shown to the bottom, which is also a close-up view.
At the bottom of the picture is a stream, which is formed by the mountain springs flowing out of the mountain. A wooden bridge flies over it. There are several huts and pavilions at the foot of the mountain, which are well-proportioned and full of elegance!
At both ends of the wooden bridge, as well as between the huts and pavilions, you can see people walking back and forth. Although the characters use only a few strokes, which are quite simple, they are full of charm and vivid!
In the foreground is a sudden boulder, with one side steep and one side gentle.
Use a thin pen to rub the steep side. At a glance, you can feel the hugeness and amazing weight of this rock!
In the white space of the stream in the foreground, there are five red collection seals, all of different sizes and shapes, which are very eye-catching, but it does not destroy the beauty of the picture, but makes it more valuable!
Unconsciously, everyone was completely intoxicated in the wonderful artistic conception created by this ancient painting. Everyone looked intoxicated and could not wake up for a long time.
When the painting was displayed here, Ye Tian stopped and did not continue.
There are also inscriptions and postscripts by collectors from past dynasties, famous connoisseurs, famous painters, top calligraphers, and several emperors at the back. The total size is quite large!
However, there is no need to display these inscriptions! Otherwise, this bulletproof glass display cabinet might have to be extended by about one meter, which may not be enough!
If you want to appreciate or study each celebrity’s inscriptions and postscripts, of course you can! At tomorrow's auction, just take a photo of this national treasure-level ancient painting and take it home to study as much as you want!
After showing the main part of the painting, Ye Tian immediately said to the two museum staff of the Forbidden City:
Roll up the top of the painting fifteen centimeters, and then use a paperweight to hold it down. Do the same for the bottom of the painting. Get the paperweight ready! Bulletproof glass display cabinets are limited, and we can only display the main part of the painting! "
"Okay! Mr. Ye"
The two museum staff from the Forbidden City responded excitedly in unison and immediately took action.
The conversation between Ye Tian and the two of them woke up everyone at the scene, and some people immediately became anxious.
"Don't mention it! Xiaoye, don't rush to scroll! We haven't seen enough yet! Let everyone enjoy it for a while and have a good time!"
"Lao Liang is right, this is Li Cheng's painting! How many times can we see the originator of Northern style landscape painting in a lifetime? We are not allowed to see it all at once!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately joked and said:
"Stop it quickly! If I agree to your request, I will stop doing anything else. Just this "Picture of Xiao Temple in Qingluan", how long will it take for you to see enough? Will you be satisfied?
One hour or two hours? One day or two days? Let me tell you, no matter what, it will take a day, right? That’s it, I’ll try to keep it as little as possible, it’s probably not enough at all! "
"You're right, this is a masterpiece that can be compared with "Travel to Xishan"! I can't appreciate this top-notch national treasure in one day, even in a lifetime!"
Jin Lao said with emotion, his voice trembling with excitement.
The rest of the people on the scene nodded in agreement and stopped stopping Ye Tian's actions.
Soon, the exhibition work of this ancient painting was completed.
After locking the bulletproof glass display cabinet, Ye Tian's voice immediately reached everyone's ears, feeling triumphant.
"I don’t think I need to introduce this ancient silk painting, right? This is the famous "Picture of Xiao Temple in Qingluan", which was painted by Li Cheng, a famous painter from the late Five Dynasties to the early Northern Song Dynasty.
On the surface of this painting, there are many collection and appreciation seals from ancient times to the present and all dynasties. There are also many famous people's inscriptions on the back, which are enough to prove the authenticity and origin of this ancient painting!
Li Cheng, one of the Three Great Masters of the Northern Song Dynasty, was the ancestral figure of the Northern School of Landscape Painting. He was known as the ‘one of the most ancient and modern figures’ in the Northern Song Dynasty, and established a milestone for later generations of literati paintings for more than a thousand years!
After thousands of years of circulation, Li Cheng's works that have survived in the world are extremely rare, with only five or six pieces, each of which is a rare treasure. This "Picture of Xiao Temple in Qingluan" is one of them.
About a hundred years ago, this ancient painting had been kept in the Forbidden City. It was still in the Forbidden City in the early years of the Republic of China. However, due to the war, the painting escaped from the Forbidden City and was lost to the United States.
In the United States, this painting is collected in the Nelson Museum of Kansas. In order to obtain this famous painting, I paid a high price. I exchanged it for a self-portrait by the famous painter Rembrandt! "
Ye Tian was about to continue, but was interrupted by an indignant voice.
"It's just a Rembrandt! How can that foreign devil's self-portrait be compared with the famous paintings handed down by Li Cheng, the three masters of the Northern Song Dynasty? It's not at the same level!
I really don’t know what kind of bad luck your kid got? You can even get the top-notch ancient paintings like "Qingluan Xiaosi Picture", and why do you want to let others live? "
The speaker was Mr. Ma, and there was a strong sourness in his words, so sour that it could make someone lose their teeth!
"That's right, it's hard for others to encounter an ancient painting of this level in their lifetime! But there are so many in your hands. This world is so unfair. How come all the good things have happened to you!"
Jin Lao from the Forbidden City continued and said, it can be equally sour.
Without exception, everyone at the scene was envious of Wei Wei and wished they could take Ye Tian's place and become the owner of this national treasure-level ancient painting.
"No way! My luck has always been good! I still have a few top-notch ancient paintings like "Qingluan Xiaosi Picture" in my hand. You are ready to continue to witness miracles! Don't be scared!"
Ye Tian said jokingly, his face full of pride without concealing it.
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at the box on the carpet, and everyone's eyes turned red!
