"Are you so happy that your niece is here?" Guan Fangfei glanced at Fang Yi with the cards in her hands. We are only in our twenties. If the child is quiet and not noisy, we can still like her. If
Who would be interested in carrying a slug while crying and fussing, it's annoying to death.
Fang Yi nodded and said proudly: "Of course, the little kid likes me the most. Every time I go home, he clings to me a little more than to my sister." I have to say that as long as Fang Yi returns to China, he is ready to
This little girl definitely accounted for most of the gifts. It used to be for being an uncle.
I was so happy that the little baby who was soft and fragrant was able to call people. He looked at this and that with his uncle, which made Fang Yi very fond of him. The little boy also knew who loved him. Even when his parents were still cold-faced,
This uncle who came back from "foreign country" is so good that I have nothing to say.
"Your sister's family came here for a trip during the winter vacation?" Luan Xiao had met Fang Yi's sister's family when she was in China, so she naturally knew what they did.
"Yeah," Fang Yi said smoothly as he touched the card, "My sister is still interested in my paints and said she is planning to open a factory to produce them, so let her have fun with them."
Li Yuncong looked at Fang Yi and said, "Are you going to pay for it yourself?". As for Fang Yi not producing the paint for himself but giving it to his sister, Li Yuncong also understood that she was her sister and he couldn't compare with him.
"Let's listen to what she says then." Fang Yi threw out two 2's from the cards in his hand, and the owner of this hand was determined to be a diamond.
"Oh" Li Yuncong looked at the two squares in front of Fang Yi's table: "You really know how to set them, I only have a few of them now."
Fang Yi glanced at the red diamonds in his hand and said, "It's for me, not for you." He happily continued playing cards.
The four friends just treated Christmas as the Spring Festival together, and everyone went back to their homes four days later.
Fang Yi immediately started preparing for his sister's family to come over. It's not okay for his sister's family to stay in a hotel. It's not that Fang Yi is reluctant to give up the money and won't let his sister's family stay in a luxury hotel in Paris. As relatives, naturally everyone wants to
To live closer, it would be best to live in his current home. With this idea in mind, Fang Yi started to tidy up the room next to his bedroom that used to be full of clutter, and stayed here while waiting for his sister's family to come.
It was two weeks after returning home. Beronica just returned home from Spain. She heard from Fang Yi that her sister's family had come over and lived here for a while. She nodded and agreed without making any comments.
Fang Yi naturally takes this matter very seriously. Not only did he clean the room early, but he also drove to Paris to buy some toys for his niece. Some of what Fang Yi said was not true. After cleaning the room, he saw that no matter what
Whether it was the bed or the floor. Dozens of dolls, large and small, piled up in a dazzling array, you can tell how happy Fang Yi was.
Fang Yi walked out of the car with a big pink stuffed rabbit in his hand, and directly pressed his knees against the car door. When he walked to the gate of the fence yard, he heard the sound of his cell phone.
Smoothly holding the rabbit under his arm, Fang Yi took out his phone and glanced at the screen: "This is Fang Yi!".
"Yi, do you have time now? If you have time, come to the museum as soon as possible." Nick Gray's voice came from the other end of the phone, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice. It seemed like there was something good about it.
matter.
Fang Yi reached out and pushed open the gate of the fence: "What is so happy about?".
"The work sent to me here is most likely an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci." Nick said excitedly to Fang Yi, "It was just sent to me. Now we are looking at this work."
After hearing this, Fang Yi stood directly at the door: "Are you sure?".
"It's just a suspicion now, but the possibility is very high."
Fang Yi turned around and said, "I'll be there soon." After hanging up the phone, he didn't send the big rabbit home. He threw it into the back seat of the car, started the car and walked towards the museum.
Now Fang Yi can be considered an expert in appraising Rembrandt's works and a non-staff appraiser at the Versailles Museum. When he arrived at the door, he didn't have to wait for Nick to pick him up like before. He just relied on his little face to add
You can enter with the small certificate issued above.
Walking straight to the appraisal room that Nick mentioned, Fang Yi opened the door and saw several middle-aged or old appraisers gathered together. Fang Yi, who was standing at the door, could not see the works on the shelf at all.
"Hello, Fang." A middle-aged man turned his head and saw Fang Yi coming over, and said hello.
Fang Yi smiled and nodded at this person: "Hello", and then said to Nick who turned his head: "Is this the work?".
No need to ask, Fang Yi glanced at the work and knew that this work was really an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci, and there was no help from any assistants on the picture. It was completely a parchment tempera painting by Da Vinci himself.
!
Without waiting for Nick's answer, Fang Yi went straight to the work and began to examine it.
The picture shows a young woman with her upper body tilted sideways. Her blond and reddish hair is tied into a thick braid at the back of her head. She wears a hairnet and a thin forehead band from her hairline to the back of her head.
.
This work was commissioned by Leonardo da Vinci's family to paint a portrait of the girl who was about to marry Maximilian I. The purpose was to show the Archduke of Austria what his future wife looked like.
What does it look like? At that time, intermarriage among European nobles was also ordered by parents and the words of matchmakers. What kind of freedom?
Love, there is no such thing at all. How can it be like now, when a British prince can marry a second wife and bring a prostitute? At that time, if there was a prince or a king who dared to do this, he would be the first in the church.
If you don't agree, without the recognition of the classroom, you are living together illegally and will be despised by the entire European aristocracy.
So at that time, there were many people who had never met their significant other before marriage. This painting was to show Maximilian I that their future wife would be as beautiful as a flower. The meaning is: Your Majesty, please stop thinking so wildly and feel at ease.
Just marry a beautiful girl. If you give birth to a son soon and find an heir to the throne, you will have completed a big task. Of course, this Maximilian I is not an ordinary king. He has other titles in history:
Holy Roman Emperor!
The few old men and the half-aged appraiser nearby watched Fang Yi looking at the work intently, and also turned their own eyes to the work.
After two minutes, Nick asked Fang Yi softly: "Fang, what do you think of this work?".
"Authentic work!" Fang Yizhen continued.
"Authentic?" Nick didn't expect Fang Yi to conclude that this work was authentic after only two minutes of viewing it. Now Nick and several colleagues next to him are still under suspicion. Without a series of tests, these people are not as good as Fang Yi.
Such a decisive conclusion.
"Do you think there were any assistants involved in the drawing?" Nick then asked.
Fang Yi looked at the work and shook his head: "I don't think so. The entire work was entirely by Leonardo da Vinci. The girl in the picture is most likely the wife of the Austrian Archduke Maximilian I, the Italian nobleman Bienne.
Card".
Hearing what Fang Yi said, the other appraisers were a little stunned. If Fang Yi said this directly in the past, someone from the other people might jump out and refute loudly, you are a young man who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth.
, don’t talk nonsense here. Who knows, someone will yell at the security guard and drive this madman out.
But now, as an artist who can paint Rembrandt like Rembrandt at his peak, Fang Yi is not only highly praised for his skills, but he is also a very accomplished artist. Of course, he can boldly state his inferences.
.
Yi stood in front of the painting and looked at it for more than half an hour, with his face less than thirty centimeters away from the work, inspecting the work almost inch by inch.
After staying in the museum for more than an hour, Fang Yi verbally confirmed that it was an authentic work, and he also left the museum after seeing enough.
Fang Yi threw away his arms and walked away. Nick, who worked in the museum, could not leave. Then he inspected the work step by step. After a few days, the appraisal experts from the Versailles Museum came to a conclusion.
It was admitted that this work was completely created by Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters of the Renaissance. Fang Yi's speculation was also announced. The girl in the work was most likely Bianca Maria Sforza.
With this conclusion, and the suspicion of her husband's identity as Holy Roman Emperor, the final price of this work was estimated. The market value of this work may now be as high as 200 million U.S. dollars. 200 million U.S. dollars
The price made this work appear on the headlines of major European and American newspapers within two or three days of its release, and stories about this work soon came out.
It has to be said that Fang Yi’s imitation Rembrandt flapped its wings slightly. The original work will not be sent for appraisal by the collector until one or two years later. However, with the uproar in the newspapers last year,
Things were so heated that some people who had some ancient paintings in their homes wished they could be as lucky as the Patrick family. The collector who had this work followed the crowd and took it out.
When he saw the report, Fang Yicai felt that his level of picking up leaks was far inferior to that of this one. The Swiss who owned this work bought it from the Christie's auction house in New York called "Youth"
The work "Side Profile Head of a Woman" cost about US$20,000 at the time, because the auction house's comment on the work was that the work was painted by an unknown painter from the German school of painting in the 19th century!
It seems now that this auction house's review was blind to the crotch. Not only did it misidentify the painting, but it also failed to understand the nationality of the work. It changed the original work of Leonardo da Vinci into the work of an unknown German painter? It's simply
No one is right. It shows that the appraisers hired by this auction house are really weird! (To be continued...)
