After getting the painting, He Qing left the collection room under the leadership of Lu Zhenyu and quickly came to the living room downstairs.
As soon as he walked downstairs, Lu Zhenyu ordered the servants to prepare wine and food to entertain He Qing, the distinguished guest who had finally been invited.
It didn't take long for the food and wine to be prepared and brought to the table one after another.
After the banquet was set, Lu Zhenyu enthusiastically invited He Qing to the scene and prepared to have a few drinks with him.
At the next wine table, taking advantage of the excitement, He Qing and Lu Zhenyu had a few drinks. After drinking for three rounds, his face became slightly hot, as if he was drunk.
After eating, He Qing stayed at Lu's house for a while and chatted with Lu Zhenyu for a few words.
After a while he said goodbye and prepared to go back.
However, Lu Zhenyu asked his secretary to drive him there, but he did not go back to the hotel where he was staying, but went to the hospital where Lin Haitao was recovering from his injuries.
"Haitao, Tian Tian, let me show you something good." He Qing said eagerly as soon as he entered the ward.
"What good thing is it?" Lin Haitao, who was sitting on the hospital bed, asked with interest.
Tian Tian smiled and said: "Looking at him looking so happy, something great must have happened to him."
Lin Haitao asked doubtfully: "Could it be that you went out to the antique street and found some big treasure?"
≠±,w⌒ww.
He Qing shook his head and said: "I didn't go shopping in the antique street. I just went to visit Mr. Lu at his invitation. I bought something from him. It was indeed a big treasure, but it was not the Chinese one we commonly see.
An antique, but a Western antique, a painting. Look at it."
As he spoke, he took out the old foreign oil painting he brought back from the Lu family from a big bag in his hand, which was the "Chestnut Grove" with a reference to the great French artist Paul Cézanne.
"It's an oil painting." When they saw the painting clearly, Lin Haitao and Tian Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised. They thought it was such a beautiful ancient painting, but it turned out to be an ordinary painting without anything surprising.
Oil paintings of places.
"Yes, an oil painting." He Qing nodded heavily.
Tian Tian looked at the painting carefully and said: "Maybe I don't understand foreign calligraphy and painting art, so I can't see what's good about this painting. Isn't it just an ordinary oil painting? I have an old classmate. She is here
She is very talented in painting, and she often paints oil paintings, and has painted a lot. This painting looks similar to her works, and I even think it is not as good as hers."
He Qing shook his head, smiled slightly and said: "It's true that you don't understand the art of oil painting. People who don't understand this art can't see its subtleties. In fact, I don't have much research and am an outsider. But it cannot be denied.
This old oil painting is of high value."
"Is this painting valuable?" Tian Tian looked at him doubtfully.
"Yes, very high, far higher than you imagine!" He Qing nodded vigorously.
"If you look closely at this painting, it seems that it is really unique and full of characteristics." After Lin Haitao looked at it in detail, he said solemnly, "I have also appreciated the art of foreign oil paintings before. Look at it.
I have seen the works of many masters, such as Van Gogh, Picasso and Qingge. If I read it correctly, this painting looks very much like the work of a master from coloring to layout."
"Can you tell whose work it looks like?" He Qing asked with a meaningful smile.
Lin Haitao replied: "It's a bit like Van Gogh's. I remember that Van Gogh liked to paint plants and landscapes. The woods painted here have the style of the things in the paintings."
Hearing his analysis, He Qing's face changed slightly, as if he was touched in his heart, but the sudden change of expression immediately came back to him. He shook his head and said: "But this is clearly not a work by Van Gogh, because it is signed by Paul
.Cézanne, Paul Cézanne is a French oil painting master, and this is a work under his name."
Lin Haitao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Then I don't know. I only have some superficial knowledge about these. I haven't conducted in-depth research. Brother Qing, is this painting an authentic work by Paul Cézanne? You think this Paul
Since Cézanne is a famous French painter, the works he left behind should be very valuable. Foreign ancient oil paintings are equivalent to our Chinese ancient porcelain and are popular for collection. If they are authentic works by celebrities, especially Van Gogh and Picasso
Such works left by top masters can often fetch high prices."
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, Van Gogh's oil paintings are amazing, easily worth hundreds of millions, and in U.S. dollars, if converted into RMB, it would be at least five or six billion, and our Chinese antiques have the highest auction transaction record.
The most expensive one was sold at an international auction company in the UK. The hollowed-out pastel porcelain from the Qianlong period was sold for almost 500 million. Although it was a sky-high price, it was still a bit expensive compared to the oil paintings by Van Gogh and others.
After all, the difference of 100 million is not a small amount. Therefore, the records set for the most expensive works of art are often set for foreign oil paintings. Do you know how much the painting "Boy with a Pipe" by Picasso cost?
110 million, and it’s in U.S. dollars, it’s really an unattainable sky-high price!”
"So it's so valuable!" Tian Tian said with a look of surprise.
"Brother Qing, then the painting you collected should be very valuable, right?" Lin Haitao said, "Although the Paul Cézanne you are talking about seems not to be famous, and is not as famous as Van Gogh and others, he is still a master.
, there should be many people who like to collect his works."
He Qing said: "If this is an authentic work by Paul, it must be very valuable. It can be sold for a good price even if it doesn't fetch a sky-high price of hundreds of millions of dollars. But this is not his original work, but a replica.
It’s a good product, someone imitated it.”
"It turns out to be an imitation." Hearing what He Qing said, Lin Haitao's face suddenly dimmed. The fire of hope that had originally risen was extinguished in an instant, and was replaced by an inexplicable feeling of disappointment.
He Qing smiled and said: "Of course, this is just Mr. Lu's opinion. I don't think so. Haitao, you just said that this painting looks a bit like Van Gogh's original work. In fact, you are not wrong at all. Isn't this painting a bit like it?
The original paintings of Van Gogh are very similar. In fact, there is no difference at all, because they are all painted by the same person, and that person is the famous Van Gogh!"
"You said this painting... I don't understand what you mean." Lin Haitao said with a puzzled look. He Qing's words changed too quickly, and his thinking was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.
He Qing said with a straight face: "What I mean is that this painting was also written by Van Gogh and is a work of Van Gogh!"
