Shen Yu frowned, his eyes revealing deep thoughts, "Could it be that when I went to Guanbao Pavilion with Brother Chen, I saw calligraphy and painting with a similar style?
"Still saw it at the old man Gu's birthday party?"
I thought about it carefully for two or three minutes, and it was like showing a movie in my mind, with treasure appraisal scenes and experiences related to antiques flashing through my mind.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I still have no clue!
You know, in the past year since he got the Golden Eyes for Appreciating Treasures, Shen Yu's journey of finding treasures has been quite exciting.
I have been to the antique markets in Dongjiang and Chuzhou countless times, and I have also visited almost all the old houses in the ancient towns. Who knows where I have seen similar paintings?
During this time, he also participated in various antique-related activities, such as treasure appraisal programs on TV stations, and several antique auctions and trade fairs.
In addition, he has also appraised calligraphy and paintings for many wealthy businessmen and celebrities, such as Gu Lao, Zheng Congyuan, Chen Guangnan and other wealthy businessmen.
There are countless collections that I have seen during this period. It is indeed not easy to find clues related to this calligraphy and painting from these many memories in a short period of time.
"Treasure appraisal!"
Shen Yu stared at the ancient paintings in front of him and muttered softly.
If it is as he thought, there is no precious light appearing in this painting. This also means that this painting is 100% a replica made in recent years or even a few months.
For Shen Yu, after having the special ability to appraise treasures, it is not difficult to find the identification point of the authentic work. He only needs to look for evidence on the painting that matches the characteristics of the era and the artist's painting style.
But when faced with a fake, you have to look for its loopholes, or find evidence of why it is a forgery, but you rely on your own solid professional knowledge!
Of course, for Shen Yu, who started learning identification from his grandfather when he was just a few years old, it was just a question of whether time should go faster or slower.
There are no technical difficulties!
After drinking some water to moisten his dry throat, Shen Yu focused his attention on the travel picture again and began to look at the painting carefully from top to bottom.
This time, he calmed down, abandoned all distracting thoughts, and concentrated on examining every detail of the calligraphy and painting.
Time passed by minute by second, and the entire back hall gradually became quiet.
Although Mr. Wu and Lin Qingzhi are not here at the Dongjiang Collection Association, every vice-president is a prominent figure in Dongjiang and even Jiangnan Province, and no Shen family has less than a few billion.
No one dares to stumble Shen Yu with an assassination attempt!
At least within the same appraisal time as Zhang Qiyun, no one dared to make any mistakes!
Finally, Shen Yu's eyes paused on the exquisite houses in the painting.
Problem found!
At first glance, these houses look quite aesthetically pleasing with their raised eaves and corners, but upon closer inspection, they are found to be somewhat out of place with the entire painting.
Let’s say it is a Ming Dynasty building. Some of its features are indeed similar, such as white walls, gray tiles, wood carvings, and brick carvings. These elements all have the style characteristics of Ming Dynasty architecture.
But saying it is a Qing Dynasty building can also be based on some decorative details, because these houses have the prototype of a courtyard house.
The layout is rigorous and axially symmetrical.
There is a patio in the yard, and the rainwater from the side slopes of the roof flows into the patio from all sides. The water gathers in the center of the sky and the four waters return to the hall. This was a popular architectural layout in the Qing Dynasty!
But if you insist that it is a building from the Song Dynasty, it doesn't seem completely unreasonable.
The architecture of the Song Dynasty focused on simplicity and practicality, pursuing a simple and simple beauty.
The overall style of these houses also has some shadows of Song Dynasty architecture. For example, the roofs and walls of the buildings are simple and smooth, and there are not too many cumbersome decorations except wood carvings and brick carvings.
The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. Suddenly, an idea came to Shen Yu's mind.
"Okay, this is the painting style of Fatty King Jiangulou!"
At the same time as he suddenly realized this, a slightly helpless smile appeared on Shen Yu's face.
"Lao Wang is also a talented person. One of his imitations has been collected by Wang Yuqian's father for so many years!"
Wang Yuqian's father is not a simple person. He can collect Tang paintings and Ming Dynasty calligraphy. He is definitely not an ordinary person!
This also proves that Fatty Wang’s skills have reached the point of entering the palace!
Shen Yu even felt that Fatty Wang was comparable to the second-rate painters of the Ming and Qing dynasties in terms of pure painting skills.
No one can deny this!
My ancestors had two palace painters, and anyone who dissatisfied would have to hold back!
In addition, Fatty Wang himself has a very high talent for painting. After decades of passing on and imitating, his painting skills have become increasingly sophisticated, and there is a vague trend of being better than the old!
Landscapes, figures, flowers, birds, fish and insects are basically all at your fingertips, and they can all be painted lifelike.
Even more generous than our ancestors!
But Fatty Wang has a shortcoming that is not a shortcoming, and that is that when he draws a copy, he will deliberately add some materials into it.
There is at least one thing in the whole painting that is unlikeable.
The purpose is also very clear, to prevent my paintings from being sold as authentic works!
What he sells is the price of the replica, so he can let others take advantage of it?
It doesn’t fit in with his traitorous temper at all!
And every painting of Fatty Wang will leave marks in inconspicuous places.
For example, the root of a big tree, a dark leaf, an object held by a passerby, and then write a hidden inscription with the word "王" on it.
The character "王" is very small and cannot be found without a magnifying glass.
It's not just him. Looking up, Fatty Wang's father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandfather are all like this.
"Xiao Shen, after looking at it for so long, can you tell whether this painting is real or fake? You must know that Xiao Zhang has already written down the identification evidence!"
Just when Shen Yu was about to find where the hidden money with the word "王" was written, a sinister, smiling voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Shen Yu frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure welling up in his heart.
Looking up, the person standing in front of me was none other than Fatty Wei from the Binhai Collection Association.
Shen Yu subconsciously looked at his watch. From the time he picked up the painting, about twelve minutes had passed. It indeed took Zhang Qiyun two minutes longer to appraise the calligraphy and painting.
But two minutes is nothing?
In the first game, Zhang Qiyun took a full fifteen minutes longer than him, and no one from either himself or the association made any objections.
At this time, Fatty Wei, who seemed kind but had a sly smile, spoke again, "Xiao Shen, I'm not urging you. Look, it's almost ten o'clock now. You also know that Mr. Yu, Mr. Feng, and Mr. Xu These seniors are all the giants in the industry. They usually work hard in our industry, and their bodies need proper rest.
"If you delay for too long, you can't let them wait here for lunch, right? We can go faster if we can, so that the seniors can go to the hotel early to take a comfortable nap and restore their energy!"
When Shen Yu heard Fatty Wei's words that seemed reasonable but actually had a vicious heart, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart as despicable!
