Chapter 046 Comparable to the Ming version of 'Along the River During Qingming Festival'
When He Qing realized that the "Hunting Picture of the Ming Dynasty" with its extraordinary origin was probably a leak, the boss Shao had already walked out of the "Jianbao Zhai". It was not convenient for him to chase him out at this moment, and then went to negotiate with the boss.
Transaction matters.
However, he estimated that Lin Haitao and Uncle Long knew that person and would indirectly inquire about the other person's whereabouts later. It would be good to find him and negotiate the deal. If he could not find him, it would not matter much. There would be no loss anyway.
What.
He Qing quickly made up his mind, just waiting to find a suitable topic to talk about the boss who was in a hurry just now.
"Haitao, you should have noticed just now, right?" Uncle Long suddenly said with a smile, "That painting is a good painting, and it is indeed very good in some aspects. This cannot be denied, but there are also problems.
"
"Well, Uncle Long, I see some tricks." Lin Haitao nodded solemnly and said, "In my opinion, that painting has been re-framed. It seems that the signature has been tampered with. It is a new model. That one is not
Like Tang Bohu’s genuine model.”
"You're right!" Uncle Long laughed and said, "Although the style of the painting is somewhat similar to that of Tang Bohu's group, I am sure that it is not Tang Bohu's original work! Tang Bohu's original and imitations are quite different.
It’s easy to identify. I estimate that the painting is either a copy of Tang Bohu or a copy of Qiu Ying. It would be more accurate to say that it is a copy of Qiu Ying’s work, as the two styles are very close!”
Lin Haitao responded: "Yes, I think so too. Although Qiu Ying's works are not as well-known among the people as Tang Bohu's, they are also widely imitated by later generations of painters, so there are many imitations of him. Now they appear in
Most of the ancient calligraphy and painting artworks on the market are imitations, right?”
Uncle Long agreed: "Yes, most of them are fakes! There are not many handed down works by Qiu Ying. Most of his original works are in major museums in China. So you can imagine how precious his works are!"
"Qiu Ying?!" When Lin Haitao and Uncle Long were talking about Boss Shao's painting, He Qing, who was standing aside, pricked up his ears and listened. When he heard that the painting might be an imitation of Qiu Ying, he couldn't help but feel slightly.
He was surprised. He Qing had no impression of this ancient calligrapher and painter at all. However, he vaguely felt that if the painting was related to Qiu Ying, it was probably an authentic one, not an imitation, because it would be impossible for it to be an imitation.
So treasured.
But he is not sure about this matter yet and needs to be investigated.
After Uncle Long said a few words to Lin Haitao, he said goodbye to them, turned around and walked away to do other things.
"Haitao, who is Qiu Ying? Was there such a painter in ancient times?" Gu Qing, who had been standing quietly beside him, asked suddenly.
This happened to be the answer He Qing wanted to get. Coincidentally, Gu Qing also asked this question, so we had to listen carefully and see what Lin Haitao said.
I just heard Lin Haitao say eloquently: "Of course there is! It's also very famous! Not long ago, an ancient painting was sold in the auction market, called "Red Cliff Picture". Do you know how much it was sold for in the end? More than 70 million, straight
Forcing 80 million! It’s almost over 100 million, isn’t it amazing?! Let me tell you, the painting “Red Cliff” that fetched a sky-high price was painted by Qiu Ying!”
"Wow, such an expensive painting?! That painter is not simple!" Gu Qing exclaimed.
"Yes, Qiu Ying is relatively outstanding among many ancient painters. He was from the Ming Dynasty and was of the same era as Tang Bohu. You may only know the 'Four Talents of the Wu Clan', but not the 'Four Families of the Wu Clan'. Qiu Ying
He and Tang Bohu are classmates. In terms of painting, it can be said that they are equally famous and have their own strengths." Lin Haitao said in detail, "Qiu Ying originally made a living by imitating other people's paintings, but he also copied some
There are many exquisite works, such as "Along the River During Qingming Festival"..."
""Along the River During the Qingming Festival"?!" He Qing asked in surprise, "Is that by Zhang Zeduan of the Northern Song Dynasty?!"
He didn't expect that there was another "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in the history of painting, but he soon understood that Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was so famous, and there must be people in later generations who would imitate it, but there were differences in whether it was better or worse.
, and Qiu Ying’s imitations are more famous.
"The original version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was painted by Zhang Zeduan. Anyone who has studied history will basically know this." Lin Haitao replied with a smile, "The Ming Dynasty version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was painted by Qiu Ying. It is also painted by who
It is collected by the provincial museum and regarded as a first-class cultural relic. You can imagine how valuable it is! After Qiu Ying became famous, his paintings became models for subsequent painters to imitate. The one Boss Shao used for appraisal just now
The painting is probably an imitation of Qiu Ying's "Royal Autumn Hunting Picture". However, although it is an imitation, to be fair, the artist's skills are very good. In such a large hand scroll, everything from the scenery to the characters is well depicted.
It is very exquisite and lifelike! The scene and the use of brushes are almost comparable to the Ming Dynasty version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"! But it is a pity that there is no formal signature, and the seal of Tang Bohu was added by an artist when it was re-framed.
Yes, that one is too clumsy and can be easily seen."
"That's it!" Hearing this, He Qing and Gu Qing looked at each other, with a look of sudden realization in their eyes.
"Haitao, is that boss Shao a local?" He Qing asked casually.
Lin Haitao didn't think much and just answered truthfully: "He is a local and he also owns an antique shop on this antique street. However, something seems to have happened to his family. The antique shop has not been opened recently. I heard that
It's about to be transferred. Sister Gu Qing, you should know him, right? His antique shop is called 'Gu Ci Xuan', and he used to mainly deal in porcelain."
"I've heard of it, but I've never been there," Gu Qing replied.
"'Ancient Porcelain Pavilion'?" He Qing thought to himself, "I'll have to go and take a look later. That painting is so big, and its potential value should be quite high!"
After listening to what Lin Haitao and the others said, He Qing understood something. He guessed that the painting was most likely an authentic work by Qiu Ying, because through previous video records, he found that the painter and Tang Bohu belonged to the same era.
Although the other person's face is not marked "Qiu Ying", logically speaking, that person should not be an imitator of Qiu Ying or Tang Bohu, otherwise how could he be so popular as soon as he painted it.
After sitting in the "Jianbaozhai" for a while, He Qing said goodbye to Gu Qing and left.
"He Qing, I had a great time going out to Temple Street with you today."
After walking out of "Jianbaozhai", Gu Qingqiao smiled brightly and said: "My sister has a holiday in the afternoon, so she didn't come to see us. Now I don't know if she has eaten. I have to go back and check."
"Oh, yes, I would have forgotten if you didn't mention your sister." He Qing said with a smile, "Just tell her that I owe her a meal and treat her later. It won't be a problem to eat whatever she wants!"
Gu Qing said happily: "You are too polite. Then I will leave first."
"Gu Qing, call me if you need anything. I'll come back and talk to you when I have time." He Qing said solemnly, and there seemed to be deep meaning in his words.
Gu Qingming's eyes flashed, she nodded as if understanding, and said, "I understand."
Then he said goodbye and walked away, but He Qing did not leave the antique street. Instead, he inquired all the way and found Boss Shao's antique shop. But when he came to "Ancient Ci Xuan", he saw that the door was closed, but fortunately
The sign next to the door reads "Want Shop For Sale" and has a phone number on it.
At that moment, He Qing made a call based on the mobile phone number without thinking, and someone quickly answered the call.
"Is it Boss Shao?" He Qing asked after the call was connected.
"Yeah, who are you? What's the matter?" a familiar voice asked.
It was the Mr. Shao whom He Qing had met not long ago!
He had found the right person, and at that moment his chest felt faintly warm, and he felt a sense of excitement and excitement.
It was as if the painting in Boss Shao's hand was a potential leak, and he was about to get it soon.
On the surface, He Qing said in a calm tone: "Boss Shao, that's it. Aren't you going to transfer the 'Ancient Ci Xuan'? I want to talk to you. I wonder if you are free now?"
He invited Boss Shao in the name of Pandian, because it was not convenient for him to explain the situation directly, so it would be better to talk in person, which would make it easier to draw the other party out.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that someone was going to take over his shop, Boss Shao got very excited and quickly agreed: "I'm free! Boss, where can we meet?"
He Qing said: "Isn't there a teahouse opposite? 'Pinming Pavilion'. I'll wait for you there."
"Okay, I'll be there right away!" Boss Shao agreed immediately without saying a word.
