Looking at the layer of drawing paper that was slowly being unveiled, Wang Jiajia's beautiful eyes widened and she looked even more adorable. Liu Gang also came over and put the coffee aside temporarily.
Li Yang didn't even raise his head and said softly: "Don't be impatient yet, you will know in a moment!"
This layer of paper is not easy to remove, otherwise it would not be able to hide it from so many people. No one could find it for so many years. Li Yang kept kneading it and did not dare to use too much force to prevent damage to the painting itself.
Liu Gang sat quietly aside and watched Li Yang's movements carefully.
He was not as surprised as Wang Jiajia. He had followed Li Yang longer than Wang Jiajia. He knew that Li Yang was very attentive and could often discover things that others could not.
After the painting paper on the back was uncovered, some shadows of the painting were faintly revealed underneath, just like the back of the painting.
The shadow of the painting was still unclear. Looking at the painting, Wang Jiajia opened her mouth again, but in the end she didn't ask anything.
Seeing Li Yang cut the drawing paper randomly like this, it felt like he was destroying the painting. However, Wang Jiajia knew that this was impossible. Li Yang must have had his intention in doing this, but she didn't know it yet.
"Brother Li, isn't this the back of the painting?"
Liu Gang suddenly said something, Wang Jiajia was slightly startled, and hurriedly looked at the painting carefully.
At first, Wang Jiajia thought that the shadow of the painting that appeared dimly on the back was the back of the painting, showing through the color, so it felt like Li Yang was destroying the ancient painting.
After being reminded by Liu Gang, Wang Jiajia also discovered after taking a closer look. Although the painting in front of her was not clear yet, it was definitely not the painting of the lady they had just seen. There was no trace of a person in the faint painting, but it was more...
Like landscapes, flowers and birds.
Wang Jiajia's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted directly: "Could it be that there are paintings inside this painting?"
"There is a painting hidden in the painting. Whose painting is it hidden in Qiu Ying's painting?" Liu Gang also said, his face full of surprise and his eyes a little hot.
Having followed Li Yang for such a long time, he doesn't understand appraisals, but he does understand some basic common sense and knows Qiu Ying's status in the world of calligraphy and painting.
Qiu Ying is already a top master, and Liu Gang really doesn't dare to think about the treasures hidden in his paintings.
"You have such a rich imagination!" Li Yang laughed loudly and continued: "This is indeed a painting within a painting. You will know what is going on after a while and the results will come out!"
Strictly speaking, it is not like hiding a painting within a painting.
To be precise, this painting is a double-sided painting, with two people painting on one piece of paper, both front and back.
This phenomenon is very rare. After the drawing paper is soaked in ink, you can no longer graffiti, and it will affect the drawing on the other side, unless the drawing paper is particularly thick. Although the drawing paper in front of you is thick, it is not yet at that level.
.
This is equivalent to saying that two people painted the front and back of this painting at the same time. Only in this way can the paintings of two people be kept on one piece of paper.
There are not many people who can paint at the same time as Qiu Ying, and there are even fewer people who can make the two of them willing to leave calligraphy on a piece of paper together. Think about it, the person behind the painting is almost ready to be revealed.
Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, Shen Zhou, and only the four Tianmen heroes with the same name as Qiu Ying have this qualification.
The entire piece of thin drawing paper on the back was finally peeled off by Li Yang.
After letting out a soft breath, Li Yang carefully put the uncovered drawing paper aside, then went back to the room to get a small soft brush that he had never used before, and gently wiped the back of the drawing.
Behind the drawing paper, there seems to be a layer of smoke-like substance that is constantly being brushed off, and the painting below is becoming clearer and clearer.
"Little bird, landscape!"
Wang Jiajia stared blankly at the newly painted place. There were two birds flying happily in the sky, and a corner of the mountain was exposed below. Both the birds and the mountain were painted realistically.
At this time, even Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang, two people who did not know how to paint, felt that the painting below had a different aura.
This kind of aura is hard to describe, but it makes people feel comfortable to see it.
Li Yang brushed slowly, feeling slightly excited.
Double-sided paintings are very difficult to create and form. No ordinary painter, let alone a master, would do this.
This is the first time Li Yang has seen a double-sided ancient painting. Moreover, this is the work of two top masters. Both of them are famous top masters. Any one of them will be able to alarm the collecting world.
As Li Yang continued to wave his brush, more and more of the painting below appeared, and more birds appeared in the painting.
"What's this?"
Wang Jiajia suddenly screamed, and Li Yang drew a bigger bird's head. This head alone was bigger than other birds, and this bird's head looked very beautiful and noble.
"Phoenix!" Wang Jiajia's eyes widened, and before Li Yang could answer, she whispered again.
This huge bird head does indeed look like a phoenix. The more brushes below, the clearer the painting will be, and the clearer the phoenix will look.
Wang Jiajia's heart moved slightly. Ma Shan raised his head, looked at Li Yang blankly, and asked softly: "Li Yang, is this the picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix?"
Hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, not to mention Wang Jiajia, even Liu Gang also noticed at this time that the phoenix and birds on this half of the painting were too conspicuous.
The picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix is indeed the name of this painting. Li Yang stopped brushing and smiled at Wang Jiajia and nodded.
Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang both had their heartbeats speeding up a little bit. There was not only one person who painted the painting of birds facing the phoenix, but there is only one person who is most famous for painting this painting.
This man was Tang Bohu, who happened to be from the same era as Qiu Ying, and was more than ten years older than Qiu Ying.
It is not impossible for the two of them to paint together, not to mention that Qiu Ying's painting itself has an inscription and postscript by Tang Bohu.
After looking at Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang who were a little surprised, Li Yang chuckled and continued to move the brush, completely brushing out the ancient paintings hidden underneath. Today, when he discovered the mystery under the three-dimensional screen, his reaction was better than the two of them.
Even stronger.
This double-sided painting was indeed jointly painted by Qiu Ying and Tang Bohu. The front is Qiu Ying's "Picture of the Palace Maid", and the back is Tang Bohu's famous "Picture of a Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix".
For these two paintings, the two of them also left inscriptions and postscripts for each other. Qiu Ying's side is a poem left by Tang Bohu, and the hidden side on the back is a passage left by Qiu Ying, describing the painting that the two made together.
experience.
Li Yang waved the brush, and Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang stopped talking, all staring at the increasingly clear ancient paintings.
After five or six minutes, Li Yang gently put down the brush and blew hard at the picture.
The painting paper that was attached to the painting when it was framed was almost completely brushed by Li Yang. However, the painting has been covered in dust for so long that it needs to be repaired again. This repair has no impact on the painting itself and will not affect its value.
Looking at the slightly hazy picture of birds facing the phoenix in front of him, Li Yang grinned.
This is his biggest gain today.
Tang Bohu and Qiu Ying painted together on a piece of paper, and each other promoted each other. This painting has become two paintings, but the two paintings are not as simple as one plus one. The energy generated by their combination,
It's enough to shock countless people.
It turns out that this painting may be worth 40 to 50 million yuan, and now it is added with Tang Bohu's "A Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix". This painting can no longer be calculated in units of tens of millions. As for how much it is worth, no one knows
Can estimate the price.
Only by going to auction and market can you know the true value of this painting.
However, the auction or market may not be able to truly give the value of this painting. This is a unique masterpiece jointly created by Tang Bohu and Qiu Ying. Although it cannot compare with the water paintings of the great master Wu Daozi, it ranks among the masters.
, almost impossible to compare.
Li Yang carefully admired the ancient paintings in front of him.
He had seen this painting several times under the three-dimensional screen, but the feeling of material analysis of the healing painting in the three-dimensional screen was completely different from seeing it with the naked eye.
Only by seeing it with the naked eye can you truly appreciate the artistic conception of the painting.
In this picture of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, each bird on the picture has different movements, and the most expressive thing is their eyes. The eyes of each bird represent a different thought.
Some birds raised their heads and looked respectfully at the phoenix standing tall. There was only crazy admiration in its eyes, as if as long as the phoenix gave an order, even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, it would rush in without hesitation.
There are also some little birds, standing motionless with their heads lowered, as if they are listening to the queen, and they are the most loyal subordinates.
In addition, there is a slightly larger colorful bird in the distance that is more distinctive. Its long beak stretches forward and seems to be moving gently up and down.
Its expression was more like that it was here for fun and didn't care about anything. Its wings were drooped there, showing an arrogant and unruly look. As soon as the Phoenix finished speaking, it would turn around and fly away.
Each bird has a different shape, but each has its own unique charm and unique thoughts.
This is the artistic conception, the master's artistic conception that can be understood but cannot be expressed. Tang Bohu's "A Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix" is worthy of being a masterpiece that has been rumored through the ages. Looking at the different birds in this painting, Li Yang seems to have also
Came to this mountain, among these birds.
“Great painting!”
Li Yang couldn't help but admired. Li Yang was still weak in calligraphy and painting, but he was able to have such a deep understanding and such a strong experience. This painting can definitely be said to be a masterpiece.
Even to a certain extent, it is better than Qiu Ying's painting from the front.
This painting can also be said to have been deliberately hidden. In the eyes of the world, what is hidden must be good, so Qiu Ying is revealed on the front and Tang Bohu is hidden on the back.
"It is indeed a good painting!"
Even Liu Gang and Wang Jiajia, who couldn't move, nodded in agreement at this time. They also saw a lot of things in this painting. Really good paintings will attract people regardless of whether they understand it or not.
