While Ye Tian stretched out his hand to gesture, two Forbidden City museum staff on the outermost right side of the exhibition area carefully put away a screen, revealing an ancient painting hanging on the display shelf at the back.
This is an ancient vertical scroll painting, an ink landscape on paper. The mountains in the picture are clear and clear, and the lake is rippling. It is a beautiful and moving scenery of the Jiangnan water town, which is fascinating.
On the wide lake, three or four water chestnut picking girls shuttled back and forth in small boats, constantly picking water chestnuts from the calm lake water. They were very vivid, yet quiet and peaceful.
On the hillside near the picture, there are three or four weeping willows and a few dead trees. It can be seen from the trunks with sparse branches and leaves that this is the season of deep autumn and ripening.
In the distance is a stretch of mountains. They are not as tall and precipitous as the peaks in the north, but they are rolling and undulating, giving off a bit of the aura of the south of the Yangtze River.
You can vaguely see several villages among the trees at the foot of the mountain, with small bridges and flowing water, just like a paradise.
The whole painting is mainly dyed with ocher, which has a sense of autumn. The brushwork is even and thin, the mountain rocks are covered with long hemp technique, the wicker droops, and the elegance is elegant, which is a bit like Zhao Mengfu's "Autumn Colors of Magpie Flowers".
In the blank space on the upper right part of this painting, there is an inscription of "Words on a Full Moon and a Man". The calligraphy is very wonderful, with dragons and phoenixes dancing in a unique style. At the end of the words is the artist's signature and seal.
There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece and absolutely worth a lot of money!
The moment they saw this ink landscape painting, the eyes of many people at the scene suddenly lit up, and expressions of ecstasy quickly appeared on everyone's faces.
Although it is a little far away, under the high-definition camera lens and on the large screen behind the exhibition area, this ink landscape is completely presented to everyone, and it is extremely clear!
It can be seen from everyone's reactions and expressions that many people at the scene recognized this ancient painting and knew its origin.
"I'll go! It turned out to be this painting. It's so surprising! Ye Tian, a boy with great hands and eyes! How did he get this painting? It's incredible!"
"Who knows! Let alone this ancient painting, I wouldn't be surprised even if he took out Yan Liben's "Pictures of Emperors of the Past"! This is an omnipotent guy!"
In the midst of the discussion, Ye Tian's voice reached everyone's ears again, and they sounded quite proud.
"This is the first antique painting and calligraphy work on display in today's preview! How about it? This ancient painting should be considered a top-notch work of art, right?
Everyone here is an expert in the antique business, and your eyesight is beyond words, absolutely sharp! I believe many people have recognized this ancient painting!
Yes, this is the painting of Shen Zhou, the master of painting in the Ming Dynasty, the founder of the Wu School, and one of the four Ming schools. It is the "Picture of Picking Lings" created when he was forty years old.
Please take a closer look at the word "The Full Moon" in the upper right part of the painting. The end of the word is clearly written by Ishida. Ishida was Shen Zhou's nickname in his middle age, and everyone knows it!
In addition, the red seal is also from Shen Zhou, there is no doubt about it! We can see this square seal on many paintings of Shen Zhou's period, which is easy to verify! "
Before he finished speaking, everyone present responded positively and enthusiastically.
"This "Picture of Picking Lings" is of course a top-notch work of art. That is Shen Zhou! One of the four famous Ming Dynasty painters and the leader of the Wu School!"
"Although this painting has never been in China before, there are definitely not a few people who have admired this painting. Several of them have personally appraised this ancient painting. Can you not recognize it?
Looking from the big screen, all the details of the "Picture of Picking Diamonds" on the display stand are in line with everyone's understanding. It is most likely the original painting. Of course, this requires further identification! "
"Ye Tian, you are so amazing, how did you get this ancient painting? Tell me quickly, everyone wants to hear the story, why are we not so lucky!"
The exhibition hall was full of buzz and excitement.
While enjoying this ancient painting intoxicatedly, everyone looked at Ye Tian with eyes full of envy, even jealousy!
After a moment's pause, Ye Tian continued:
"As for the authenticity of Shen Zhou's "Picture of Picking Lings", you can rest assured. I can say with absolute certainty that this is 100% the original work of Shen Zhou. There is no doubt!
This painting has been kept in the Tokyo National Museum, Japan. It is one of the fine collections of Chinese calligraphy and painting in that museum. As for the reason why it was lost overseas, everyone is very clear about it.
During a treasure hunt in Boston, I discovered two paintings by a famous Japanese painter. It was those two ancient Japanese paintings that I exchanged for this "Picture of Picking Lings".
Several other ancient paintings were exchanged in the same batch. As you will see later, the other party to this transaction is the Tokyo National Museum, Japan. The source is legal and well-documented!
Of course, the Japanese may not believe it! In order to avoid being deceived by those Japanese, I made a very detailed and comprehensive scientific appraisal of these ancient paintings as soon as I received them!
The appraisal results are very certain. These ancient paintings are all authentic and are produced by several ancient Chinese art masters. Their artistic value is extraordinary and their market value is quite high!
Regarding this point, you can come up later to appreciate and appraise it by yourself, and make a choice to decide whether to take action tomorrow, beat other competitors, and take this famous painting! "
Before he finished speaking, someone at the scene asked impatiently:
"Xiaoye, please tell me the approximate price of this "Picture of Picking Lings"! It also gives us a mental preparation. To be honest, I like this ancient painting very much and really want to buy it!"
The person who asked was an entrepreneur and billionaire from Zhejiang, a frequent guest on the Forbes list!
The scene depicted in this "Picture of Picking Lings" is exactly the scenery of the Jiangnan water town with lakes and mountains. It is extremely beautiful and instantly resonated strongly with the billionaire, so he asked this question.
Ye Tian raised his eyes and looked at the billionaire, then said with a smile:
"Mr. Cao, you have a great sense! This is a top-notch piece of art that is worth collecting. It not only improves your taste, but is also a very good investment! It has the function of maintaining and increasing value,
But I'm very sorry, I can't disclose the starting price of this painting! Don't worry, you will know the specific starting price after the auction starts tomorrow, and it will definitely be within your affordability.
In today's preview, we only appreciate these antique works of art and feel the charm of traditional culture. That is the most beautiful thing. This is not the right time to talk about money. Talking about money is really a disgrace! "
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
"Talk about money is too embarrassing? Did I hear you right? Xiaoye, aren't you always known for being cruel and ruthless at auctions? When did you become so aloof?"
"That's right! With the way you act, I'm afraid you've already sharpened your sword and are ready to kill us all, right?"
Everyone at the scene said jokingly, directly exposing Ye Tian's background.
Having said that, I also know that the kid on the stage will not let everyone off lightly, but everyone present is high-spirited, full of confidence, and ready for a crazy fight!
The first painting is of Shen Zhou from the Ming Dynasty. God knows what shocking treasures will appear next! Without even thinking about it, it must be a priceless national treasure-level antique artwork.
With so many top-notch antiques and artworks appearing together, this opportunity is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Who wants to miss it? Who wants to miss it? Unless your brain is squeezed by the door!
Compared to top-notch antiques and works of art, what is money? It’s just a set of numbers lying on a bank account number! Above a certain amount, it means nothing!
After a few jokes, Ye Tian began to introduce the second piece of antique art.
This time it is a calligraphy work of medium size, written by the famous calligrapher Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhao Mengfu, a famous calligrapher, painter and poet in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, the 11th grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the greatest and most famous calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty, the original "Zhao style" and known as one of the "Four Masters of Regular Script" one.
As expected, as soon as this calligraphy work by Zhao Mengfu appeared, before Ye Tian began to explain, the scene was already completely boiling, and there were a lot of exclamations.
Especially those cultural experts who study ancient calligraphy works, antique art appraisal experts, and collectors who prefer calligraphy, their eyes are almost exploded!
