Chapter 345 "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". Tianji Volume (Part 2)
After everything was ready, Master Pang began to work, but before he started to remove the frame, he specifically said: "Breast, have you decided to do this?"
"Of course!" He Qing said flatly, "Master Pang, please help me with this."
Master Pang said solemnly: "Since this is an unveiling painting affixed to rice paper, it is naturally thinner than ordinary paintings, and may be too thick, so the risk of unveiling it is very high. If you don't pay attention, it will
It may damage this layer of painting, and this damage is irreversible. So you'd better think clearly. I can't guarantee that it will be foolproof now. After all, some mistakes are force majeure, because the situation of your painting is very special, which is equivalent to the second time.
It’s unframed.”
He Qing nodded and said: "I know. But it doesn't matter. I don't blame you if there is a problem. Just help me fix it. Take off this layer of painting and be sure not to damage the layer of rice paper below."
He solemnly reminded Master Pang, as if he valued the rice paper underneath more than the layer of unveiling.
"Well, I'll do my best." Master Pang readily agreed, but he didn't pay much attention to the profound meaning of He Qing's words.
After the agreement was made, under Master Pang's instructions, He Qing placed the painting on the table, then scalded it with hot water steam, and then sprinkled it with clean water.
After a long while, Master Pang started to unveil the painting. Although he was old, his hands were very dexterous and he was very familiar with the task. It didn't take long to see that he had already uncovered a corner. It was perfect, and the painting was exactly the same as the one below.
None of the paper was damaged at all.
This made He Qing very satisfied after seeing it. This was the effect he wanted. In fact, what he cared about was not the incomplete painting on the surface, but what was hidden underneath.
After about half an hour, Master Pang was almost done. All the layers of painting were peeled off without any problems.
"Master Pang, you are so awesome!" Seeing this, He Qing said gratefully, "Thanks for your help this time!"
Master Pang shook his head and said with a smile: "You're welcome, it's just a little effort. Although this layer of painting has been removed intact, it is not finished yet. It still needs to be cared for. If it needs to be re-mounted and modified, it will still require many processes.
"
He Qing said: "Let this painting be as it is, there is no need to frame it for the time being."
The painting was forged and was just a layer of the original painting, with little collection value, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Hmm. Okay then." Master Pang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chest, that's it. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. There's something else going on in the store. If anything happens, just call me."
But He Qing hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master Pang, please stay. I have something to ask you."
"Oh, what is it?" Master Pang asked in surprise.
He Qing pointed to the layer of white rice paper under the sticker and said, "I think there is something abnormal about this paper."
"Abnormal? What abnormality?" Master Pang asked in surprise.
Gu Qing, who was standing aside, said with a surprised look on his face: "Brother Qing, that's nothing."
He Qing did not answer their words immediately, but just reached out and stroked the rice paper gently. Suddenly, he carefully tore off a corner and shouted: "It's right here! Master Pang. The layer below seems to be
Not a blank rice paper, but a layer of painting!”
"How is that possible?!" Master Pang said in surprise.
Immediately, he and Gu Qing looked at it intently. It didn't matter. They were both shocked when they saw that the corner that He Qing had just torn open was actually not plain rice paper, but a picture. The painting was antique.
Although I could only see a small corner, I could tell that there was no ordinary rice paper underneath. Instead, there was an ancient painting hidden underneath.
When he saw it clearly, Gu Qing couldn't help but exclaimed and said happily: "Brother Qing, it's true, that looks like a painting!"
Master Pang also said in disbelief: "Brother, your eyesight is so good?! We didn't notice anything just now, but you saw it! It seems that this painting is not as simple as uncovering the first layer of the painting. There are still other things inside the painting."
There’s a hidden painting!”
He Qing laughed and said seriously: "It's just a coincidence. Master Pang, now I have to ask you to do me a favor. Remove the layer of rice paper covering it, take out the painting hidden underneath, and then frame it properly."
Ichiban. Haha, I don’t know what kind of painting this will be. It should be better than the superficial painting, right?"
Master Pang said without hesitation: "No problem! This should be easier to do. After all, it is much easier to peel off a layer of rice paper than a painting. It doesn't matter if the paper is damaged."
At the moment, Master Pang peeled off the frame again at He Qing's request. Since it was a piece of plain rice paper, it was much easier. Within a short while, Pang Shibo helped He Qing remove the extra layer of paper.
The moment the white paper was opened, both Master Pang and Gu Qing couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they were extremely shocked. What caught their eyes at this moment was actually a complete painting. The picture was simple, and the painting also depicted landscapes, as if it were
An ancient landscape painting similar in style to "Dwelling in the Fuchun River and Mountains".
"Breast, this... why does this painting look so familiar? The image is also a painting like "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". Is it also a replica?" Master Pang asked.
He Qing nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it smells like that! Master Pang, you are a master of collection and appraisal of calligraphy and painting. I think you know better than anyone else. I want to ask, what is the seal and the identity of the seal on it?
Are the inscriptions and postscripts written by the Yuan Dynasty painter Huang Gongwang? I am talking about whether they are completely imitated by him, even the seals are imitated."
Master Pang bent his head and looked at it carefully, then nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, the seal is indeed Huang Gongwang's, and the inscription is also his style. This is absolutely not wrong! But it is definitely wrong!"
As he spoke, he shook his head vigorously, and He Qing asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
Master Pang solemnly analyzed: "The title of the painting above is also "Residence in Fuchun Mountains". From this we can know that it is definitely not the original work of Huang Gongwang. Huang Gongwang painted such a painting, "Residence in Fuchun Mountains".
"Picture" was originally one picture, but something went wrong later and it was split in two and became two pictures. However, this picture is independent and much smaller than the entire "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". It is probably not that big.
Let’s get to half of it.”
He Qing said disapprovingly: "But there are two additional inscriptions of 'Tianji' in the title, indicating that this painting may not have much to do with that painting. It is also an authentic work of Huang Gongwang and was painted by him later.
, after the volume of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" was completed."
He said this, but he was sure in his heart that this painting was Huang Gongwang's original work. Although it had no essential connection with the long scroll "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", one of the "Top Ten Famous Paintings handed down from China", it was still Huang Gongwang's work.
, it can be called a national treasure, but this secret has always been hidden and has not been known to the world.
Master Pang shook his head and said: "Then I don't know. This thing needs further identification, but judging from the content and painting style, it is very similar to Huang Gongwang's original "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"."
Then I heard him add: "There should be nothing wrong with the painting. The paper quality is correct, and the painting itself has not been tampered with. It is obviously an ancient painting. Even if it is a replica, it will only be made by an ancient painter."
After it came out, no matter what, this painting has a great background and is of great collection value. At least it is not worse than Wang Shimin's imitation "Dwelling in Fuchun Rivers and Mountains".
"Oh, really? That's good." He Qing said happily.
Gu Qing also said with surprise and joy: "So, Brother Qing, this is an unexpected surprise for you. You picked up another big leak! "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is so famous, you got an ancient painting.
The value of imitations must be very high!”
He Qing said with a smile: "I hope so, but I'm not sure yet. Let's put it away first."
At that time, he asked Master Pang to clean up the painting and re-frame it. The work was very good and very satisfying.
After finishing it, Master Pang said goodbye, but before he left, He Qing gave him a reward. Although it was not big, only 10,000 yuan, it was very high in Master Pang's opinion. He made a
Yue's business could only make so much money. I didn't expect He Qing to be so generous and receive a reward of 10,000 yuan, so he thanked him in every possible way.
