Several people from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Jackson were looking at the two works in front of them. One was just taken from Fang Yi, and the other was a work restored after research by his group.
Now the expressions on the faces of these people, including Simon, are very exciting, because everyone feels that the masterpiece they so-called painstakingly restored has become a complete joke in front of the work Fang Yi finished.
"I think there is something wrong with every color we have. The blue is too light and the red is too dark! And it's not transparent..." A museum restoration expert couldn't help it anymore and broke the silence in the room by opening his mouth.
Talking to himself, he also expressed his feelings to the colleagues around him.
After hearing what his colleague said, Jackson couldn't help but nodded: "It seems like all our previous work has to be done over again!".
"This work," Simon said, pointing to Fang Yi's work. After seeing this work, Simon immediately felt possessive. Simon also knew that just because of Fang Yi's reputation, this work could now be obtained.
The value on the market is quite high. Although the possibility of owning it is slim, Simon couldn't help but ask.
Although Jackson didn't know what Simon wanted to say, he still said directly: "This work now belongs to the Metropolitan Collection!".
"What?" Simon couldn't help but ask, with a slightly incredulous expression on his face.
Jackson opened his mouth to explain: "This work is a work that Fang Yi was commissioned to reproduce by our Met. We had a contract before!".
The contract that Fang Yi signed with the Met at the beginning made it very clear. Fang Yi provided guidance on the restoration or reproduction of this work. Originally, neither Fang Yi nor Zou Heming, the negotiator, thought that the latter clause would be used. In Zou Heming's opinion, Fang Yi
With such a reputation, Fang Yi would help others repair their paintings. If not say they would burst into tears of gratitude, they would at least cheer. Who knew that such a situation would arise. Some people would refuse to repair Fang Yi's works, and Simon just seemed to drive them away.
As soon as this problem came up, Fang Yi had to face the last situation. He might have to help the Metropolis copy this work. Of course, this is also the result that the people in the Metropolis most want to see. Now these people would rather
Simon threw out Da Vinci's work and asked Fang Yi to do the latter.
Because Da Vinci is Da Vinci, but it belongs to Simon's Da Vinci, and Fang Yi's work belongs to the Metropolitan. I bought a restored work by Fang Yi for US$200,000, and it is such an outstanding restored work.
, the Mets contract prospect immediately marked a bright spot in his career.
On the contrary, Zou Heming was a little stupid. When he met Fang Yi, he would say something like: hunting geese all day long. Once he was pecked by geese, he would be blinded.
Just do the work after receiving the money. Although the money was very small, Fang Yi still felt that he had not lost anything due to the mental support of being satisfied with his small-mindedness.
After listening to Jackson's brief introduction, Simon felt that he had no hope at all. Even if he had money, there was no way he could get this work from the Met's catalog. He offered a price that the Met had no courage to refuse.
?I’m afraid not many people in this world can do it, because you are only one person, and behind the metropolis are dozens or hundreds of people like you!
"Then let's re-study how to restore this authentic painting!" Simon emphasized the word "authentic painting" in his own tone, as if he wanted to remind everyone present that the hand he was holding belonged to Leonardo da Vinci.
Authentic. This painting is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of art in the past century.
Jackson was not interested in understanding Simon's meaning, so he hummed. He held his hands on his chest, resting his chin with one hand and frowning. His eyes kept looking between Fang Yi's replicas and Da Vinci's original works.
Ask about wandering.
"It's very difficult!" After watching it for five or six minutes, Jackson looked around and said to his colleagues. From his own perspective, if he could follow Fang Yi's restored work 100%, it would definitely be
Best solution.
But now Jackson has no confidence in his heart at all. Just looking at the color of the crystal ball in Christ's hand, Jackson's heart begins to waver. The color is very transparent, and the crystal ball seems to be like water, with a little solidity.
More of a liquid
The crystalline beauty of the flow of the state, I guess it is blue, it seems to have a bit of mysterious and hazy purple beauty, but it is not like purple. After looking at it for a long time, it seems to be red. A crystal ball seems to be like a person's life, colorful light
Huan Luli. This is just a crystal ball!
After saying this, Jackson could see the same feeling in his heart from the faces of all his colleagues, impatience and bewilderment!
"I really want to say that we can restore the original work to look like this, but I know that that is a lie! I think it is better to ask Mr. Yi Fang to restore this work!" One of the white-haired old men said to his
A colleague said: "This is the greatest restored work I have ever seen in my life, and I think that such a masterpiece can only be completed by Leonardo da Vinci at his peak technical state and peak state of mind.
An unsurpassed masterpiece!".
After finishing speaking, the old man glanced at his colleagues in the room and then said: "I quit this group because for me, this work has no meaning!" After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for his colleagues to say anything.
He shook his head, glanced at the restored work by Fang Yi, turned around and walked towards the door.
As soon as the old man left, he also left with the other two restorers. Now only Jackson and Simon were left in the room, plus four restorers in their forties who wanted to give it a try.
Jackson looked at the remaining people and forced a smile on his face: "Then let's take it as a challenge!" After speaking, he scanned everyone's faces.
"Just do it," one of the remaining restorers said. This man, who was only forty years old, was considered a leader among the younger generation. He did not expect that he could immediately surpass Fang Yi's current level, but
I regard this matter as a rare learning opportunity, so I can show excitement that is different from ordinary people.
Because after accepting the order, the Metropolitan Museum had to try hard to complete the order and satisfy its own guest room. In the next month, the lives of the six people, Jackson and Simon, were very sad. Because every time, don’t say
I tried to repair it on the cleaned original work, but no one thought they could do it even if they wanted to get the same color as Fang Yi's copied work.
There was really no other way. At Jackson's suggestion, the Met returned Simon's money in full, and also paid US$90,000 in compensation according to the agreement. As for the cost of cleaning up, the Met politely stated that this was
It’s given for free!
A week later, the Metropolitan Museum held an acceptance meeting in a small area, and Fang Yi's restored work was hung in the exhibition hall of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, the annotation below was: Yi? Fang copied
Leonardo da Vinci's work "Savior of the World".
This so-called story began to spread. The Met’s restorer thought he could do nothing about the painting? And the work also involved Fang Yi, a master who is still alive? This matter is very telling, and soon
After newspaper reports and hype, ordinary people flocked to the metropolis in large numbers to appreciate Fang Yi's restored work.
As for the original Leonardo da Vinci painting in Simon's hands, it has been sent to several museums and famous ancient painting restorers. I hope they can help restore this masterpiece to its original appearance, and now even Simon himself
Everyone feels that its original appearance is the copy of Fang Yi's work now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This request was so weird that everyone couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw Fang Yi's restored work and the original work that was still intact.
The last person Simon found was the German restorer Brugger. However, when Brugger went to the Metropolitan Museum like others and looked at Fang Yi's restored work, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
When he returned to Germany and was asked by the media why he refused Simon's request, Brugger said this.
"I think we can't just look at the restored work by Mr. Fang. It is a great work in itself. I think even if Leonardo da Vinci is resurrected, he will be surprised when he sees this work.
Extremely surprised, he shrugged his shoulders and said: Wow!".
"Is it too exaggerated?" A reporter heard this and immediately asked Brugger: "Yifang has restored several works before, but they are not as widely praised as this one. Now this one
As soon as this work appeared, almost all appraisers and restorers were full of praise for it...".
Brugger interrupted the reporter: "The quality of the works that Mr. Fang restored earlier is also very high, at least I think it is higher than my restoration level. If he devotes himself wholeheartedly to the restoration of ancient paintings, then I think I
Your job is in danger!"
Having said this, Brugger smiled slightly: "Fortunately, his main business is painting!".
Hearing a few laughs from the reporters around him, Brugger's face became serious: "I say that the "Savior of the World" restored by Mr. Fang is a masterpiece because I want to paint such a work.
, in addition to requiring extremely superb skills, the most important thing is the artist's own state of mind when creating. At this time, the artist
Not only do you need to have the passion for creation, but you also need to maintain a certain level of sanity. This situation is a bit like drinking. You drink too little and you don’t reflect. You drink too much and you lie down and can’t do anything. You have to drain your body and spirit.
Only by combining it with that specific and multi-faceted point of excitement can it be possible to create such a work!..."
"..." The reporters present were stunned after hearing this, thinking it was so mysterious?
Looking at the expressions on the faces of these reporters, Brugger nodded: "If you ask an artist casually, or ask someone who has been painting for a long time, they can all prove this. This is the so-called creative passion.
Sparks. And this work is the crystallization of sparks. And I believe that if Master Leonardo da Vinci is resurrected, he will be amazed by Mr. Fang’s work!”
This remark was not only a compliment to Fang Yi, but Brugger also removed himself from the complex impact of Simon's evasion. Now anyone who wants to restore this work will have a thankless task, because the public has already
I preconceptionally determined that the colors reproduced by Fang Yi were the best! Of course, this is also true in Brugger's opinion.
Now that these two situations are combined, if anyone wants to restore the color of the original work, it will be a fool's errand. It's just an itch or a scolding. Just like everyone knows that the Venus de Milo has
Arms, but if you are used to seeing someone without arms and then trying to restore them, it will be wrong no matter how the world sees it. The original work in Simon's hands now faces such a problem, unless Fang Yi does it himself.
The question is what will Fang Yi do?
The answer is no. Desperate, Simon still found Fang Yi and asked Fang Yi to repair the original painting in his hand, because now no one wants to repair this painting. It is such a dingy work that is really damaging.
For what it’s worth!
The answer given by Fang Yi was that he was not interested, and the other was that, as Brueghel meant, it was 'difficult' to create such a work! The mind and body must be unified.
If you can do such complicated things in the spiritual realm whenever you want, wouldn't that make you a street girl?
The final result of the whole thing is this. The work restored by Fang Yi has been regarded by the world as a perfect display of the colors of the original work. When mentioning Leonardo da Vinci's "Savior of the World", the first reaction of others is not Simon Zeng.
The one I loved so much is the one hanging in the Metropolitan Museum. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
