"Could it be a biblical story that was circulated in the fourteenth century?" Someone who looked at the painting speculated, "Some stories were gradually forgotten during the circulation process, and now they no longer exist in the Bible, so we don't
Know the story of which scene is in this painting."
People around him expressed their feelings.
"If so, this painting will reveal a forgotten story whose value is difficult to calculate in terms of money!"
"Even if this is not the case, as long as it is proven that it is Giotto's work, it will be a priceless treasure."
Chi Feichi was brought back from his thoughts by the discussion. He stopped staring at the painting and turned to Chi Jana and said, "Mother, take good care of this painting."
The bone flute that crossed the water was once the residence of his soul, and it was also something passed down from generation to generation of the Montgomery family. Since it can respond to paintings, then the painting should be Giotto's original work, not a descendant's.
Imitation painting.
Moreover, this painting is not a scene from a biblical story. It was not in line with the mainstream at the time, and I am afraid that few people would imitate it.
In this case, the painting is indeed priceless. Like the 'Midnight Jackdaw', it is a marketable and priceless thing. It is even more valuable than the 'Midnight Jackdaw'. The seller does not know how to price it, and the buyer does not dare to try it.
When raising a price, both parties will face the same dilemma - if the price is too low, people will laugh at it, if the price is too high, they will not be able to afford it.
The Field family does not need to sell paintings. Keeping them at home is also a part of their heritage and can be used to decorate their appearance.
What's more, he thought that apart from Montgomery's house, the painting was the only one that was most suitable to be placed in his place. He didn't want Ikegana to regard it as a painting of unknown origin and give it away one day.
Chi Janai smiled and nodded at Chi Feichi, "I will go to the collection room in a while. There are modern security equipment there. The paintings will be safer there."
Even if the painting is not a famous work, just because the children at home like it, she still has to keep it safe.
"Let's see... I have a friend who is keen on studying the history of Europe in the fourteenth century. He may have the answer." An older man took out his mobile phone and dialed the number feverishly. "I called and asked.
ask him!"
After making the phone call, the old man took a photo of the painting and sent it to his friend.
Next, Ikegana took a group of people to see the banquet hall and the library. However, the others were no longer in the mood to appreciate the large mansion. After sitting down in the restaurant, they all talked about topics related to the painting.
Someone was interpreting the content of the painting seriously, "In my opinion, the content of that painting is a girl who is guarded by angels, so she has the happiness that many people envy, and she must have very valuable qualities, such as
Humility, kindness, loyalty, we can find it from the legendary stories of angel blessing..."
Someone and his companions were analyzing whether this was an authentic work by Giotto, and even invited Ikekana to discuss it together.
"If the canvas and paint are dated and can be determined to be from the fourteenth century, then there is no doubt that this is Giotto's work!"
"However, this could also be an unknown painter, right? During the same period, Giotto may have been the first person to add a perspective background, but there may be an unknown admirer who painted it in his style.
this painting……"
"Please! It's impossible for the other party to imitate Giotto's painting method exactly the same, right? The laboratory has said that there are many parts of this painting that look like Giotto's handiwork, right, Mrs. Gana?"
"Ah, yes..."
"It's a painting by Giotto, but I don't know when it was painted by Giotto..."
Ike Shinnosuke looked at the group of people who were having a heated discussion, turned his head and whispered to Naoto Asayama about the company's investment plan in the agricultural and livestock industry.
He was glad that he had the foresight to sit next to Chao Shan and talk about topics that were less troublesome for him.
What he knows now is already known, and what needs to be verified has not been found yet. He really doesn't understand what there is to discuss. Isn't it just a waste of time?
Haiyuan Ai sat on the left side of Chi Feichi and couldn't help but ask about the painting, "Brother Feichi, you seem to be very convinced that the painting is Giotto's work. Do you have a deep understanding of Giotto?"
"I can't say I know him well," Chi Feichi said politely. He probably knew a few things about Giotto's elevated blood pressure in his old age, "but I have learned about his painting style, brushwork and some little habits. That painting
Everything above is revealed.”
This is not lying, at most it is evading the important point and taking the easy one.
After witnessing the rise and fall of the Montgomery family, he specifically looked for Giotto's information and paintings to learn more about it. In addition, when Giotto was painting that painting, he followed Diana to see Giotto many times.
Combined with the scene of the painting being commissioned, he indeed knew better than many people how Giotto would write and what kind of features he would leave on the painting.
"Does that painting have any special meaning to you?" Nanatsuki Koshizui, who was sitting on the other side, thought of Chi Feichi's previous actions. The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt. He looked at Chi Feichi in confusion, "伱
I had a strange feeling when I put my hand on the glass before..."
"I just like it better," Chi Feichi said without changing his expression. "That painting seems to be able to convey happy emotions to others."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki recalled the painting and said with a smile, "Yes, her happiness seems to be contagious to everyone who sees the painting. The angel must have protected her very well. It is really enviable
ah."
"Maybe it's not that good." Chi Feichi whispered.
His feelings for Diana were very strange.
Even when the girl was taking a shower, she was wearing a bone pendant carelessly, but if he didn't call, he wouldn't call. She could even calmly help Diana watch to see if any nasty gangsters took the opportunity to peek.
If he had feelings for Diana, he would have been crazy when Diana got married, but he just looked at the man with a critical eye and felt that the man was not worthy of Diana, even if he was a noble.
Maybe this is the mood of an old father.
But even as a father, he didn't protect Diana very well. He couldn't grab things or hit people. He could only warn homeless gangsters and watch Diana sprinkle powder on them and knock them down.
.
In short, if he had a body at that time, he could have protected Diana better, even if it might cost Diana many opportunities to grow.
"I mean, angels may not be able to help her with everything," Chi Feichi pretended to analyze the painting with Koshizu Nanatsuki. "The girl's clothes have traces of sewing and her body is stained with mud. If angels can give her everything,
, it is impossible for her to wear such clothes, so I think it is not the gift of angels that makes her happy, it is her happiness that attracts the protection of angels."
"Indeed..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded thoughtfully, "This interpretation seems more reasonable. The painting should be "The Girl Attracted the Angel" instead of "Asylum", but this is not in line with the religious ideas of the Bible, right?"
"I don't care what they think." Chi Feichi said nonchalantly.
"Your answer is really willful." Koshimizu Nanatsuki complained softly. He saw the servant bringing the appetizers to the table and said no more.
The dinner lasted for more than an hour. When the dessert was served, the old man's cell phone rang. He said "Sorry", got up and went to the side to answer the phone. During this period, he heard one or two exclamations from time to time. After hanging up the phone, he turned around.
Looking at the group of people staring directly at him, he declared excitedly.
"That must be Giotto's work, and it may well be Giotto's last work before his death!"
"What? Really?"
"Have you found out which story in the Bible that is?"
When the old man was asked this question, he kept it secret. He put away his mobile phone and walked back to the dining table to sit down. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of black tea. When the two people sitting at the table looked at him and wanted to punch someone, he spoke calmly.
He said, "This painting is not a story in the Bible, but my friend checked the historical records and legends related to Giotto, and it did mention an unknown painting. It was when Giotto was in his sixties.
, on his way home from a trip, he met a girl and painted a picture based on it. He took the painting home and was inadvertently seen by an aristocratic boy. The aristocratic boy was instantly fascinated by the girl in the painting.
lived, but the girl in the painting was like an angel lost in the world. No one knew where she lived, and no one seemed to know her at all. The aristocratic boy never gave up searching until after Giotto died, he finally met her outside the city.
The girl got married to the girl as she wished... This is what is said in Giotto's relevant records, but the identities of the girl and the noble boy are not recorded in detail, so they have always been regarded as unofficial history and legend."
Chi Feichi lowered his head and drank tea silently.
The nobleman was indeed eyeing Diana because of the painting. As an old father, he did not want to appreciate this kind of romance.
Having said that, the Montgomery family has really been completely buried in history, and there is no mention of 'Montgomarie' or 'Diana'.
"So, I think that painting should be called "The Angel Lost in the World"!" The old man said excitedly, "The girl is originally an angel, that's why she is so happy, and the shadow behind her is actually her true body, and she
I landed on earth just to meet the noble boy!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
Full marks for reading comprehension, thank you very much.
The old man was still very excited. After reading it, he looked at Ikegana sincerely, "Mrs. Kana, do you understand the meaning of that painting? It is a priceless treasure!"
Ikekana was still calm and nodded with a smile, "That painting alone can prove that in his later years, Giotto was not limited to creating religious paintings, but also tried to break away from the original religious stories and create new religious paintings with imagination.
It has also created a beautiful story with this, and its significance is truly extraordinary, enough to rewrite the historical records of European art."
"It's incredible..." the old man murmured, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He looked at Chi Feichi and couldn't help but sigh, "I witnessed the discovery of a precious antique artwork."
Chi Feichi: "..."
He thought what the old man meant was that he almost missed something that could last a lifetime with his good friends.
Chi Janai remained calm and turned to look at Chi Feichi with a smile, but there was inevitably a bit of pride in his smile, "Feichi has always had a good eye."
Ike Shinnosuke, who was about to speak, nodded to Naoto Asayama and continued drinking tea.
This matter tonight can be an opportunity to help the heir of the Chi family to build momentum.
Discovering a stunning painting is certainly a shocking thing, but if his wife had not brought the topic to Fei Chi, those people would still be amazed by the painting.
When the topic was brought to Fei Chi, the effect was different. When others were sighing at the painting, they were also lamenting another thing - the future heir of the Chi family has a vicious vision, and he is very confident in his own judgment, and the judgment result is correct!
Even though his son has a record of mental illness, he is still very good. There is no doubt about this.
With such an heir, we may not have to worry about Umbrella's development for the next hundred years. Are these people sure they won't be tied to death on their big ship?
This not only gives other shareholders the impression of being the future major shareholders, but is also a reassurance that can make others feel that the future is bright in the early stages of Umbrella's development.
He originally wanted to say a few words to bring the topic to Fei Chi, but since his wife had already done it, there was no need for him to say more, lest he appear to be immodest by saying too much.
