Chapter 319: The Father of Western Oil Painting—Titian
..."By the way, Boss Zhang, I want to buy a few things from you, mainly for gifts!" Liu Dong suddenly turned around and said after walking down from the second floor.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, you're welcome. If you like the things on this floor, just take them away. I gave them to Mr. Liu!" That's polite, because Zhang Weihan is very sure that there are basically none on this floor.
The antiques are basically all modern handicrafts, but some of them are very well made and are worth only two to three thousand yuan. I just made a big deal with Liu Dong for 15 million yuan, so of course I won't let go of the two to three thousand yuan.
In the heart.
After listening, Liu Dong smiled and didn't say much. After walking around the first floor of Zhenbao Pavilion twice, there were already four more things on the counter behind Zhang Weihan.
A large Longquan plate with eight treasures lotus pattern, a small bowl with fahuacai, a copper stove with Xuande inscription, and the last one is a plum vase with blue and white dragon pattern.
The four items are all antiques. The Longquan large plate is from the Yuan Dynasty and is worth about 100,000. The Fahuacai small bowl is from the mid-Ming Dynasty and has a market price of 50,000. The Xuande stove is also from the Ming Dynasty, but it is not a real Xuande stove, but an imitation of the Ming Dynasty.
, In addition, even if it is a genuine Xuande furnace, I am afraid that its value is not high, because the current appraisal community does not have the means to identify the authentic Xuande furnace, so the highest market price of this extremely precious furnace is less than a hundred.
Ten thousand.
The last plum vase with blue and white dragon pattern was the one that Liu Dong valued the most. When he saw the rich aura on it, Liu Dong's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Because this porcelain in good condition was genuine Yuan blue and white.
In addition to seeing one piece in Mr. Li's treasure house, this was the first time Liu Dong experienced this kind of dragon-patterned Yuan blue and white from the official kiln at such a close distance.
Fang Zhonghua, who was standing behind Liu Dong at the moment, looked at the Yuan Qinghua on the table with some surprise and uncertainty. However, the time was too short and he had not used it, so he could not yet determine whether the plum vase was authentic or fake. However, based on this plum vase
In terms of appearance, everything is in line with the characteristics of Yuan blue and white.
"Boss Zhao, how much do you think these four items cost?"
"Haha, I just said that these four things are free of charge. Count them as gifts from me to Mr. Liu!" Zhang Weihan said politely.
"That's not possible. No one's money comes in vain. How can I have the nerve to ask for your things for nothing? Let's do this. These four items are worth ten thousand yuan. What do you think?" After finishing speaking, Liu Dong did not wait.
Zhang Weihan chatted, took out a stack of unopened banknotes from his pocket and placed it on the counter. Based on Zhang Weihan's many years of business experience, he could judge at a glance based on the thickness of the stack of money that it was indeed 10,000.
When he saw that Liu Dong had paid all the money, he said nothing more. At this moment, Liu Dong had become synonymous with "generous and kind" in Zhang Weihan's heart. He had no idea that at this moment he had already left Dabao.
After taking four packaging boxes filled with scraps of paper from Zhang Weihan and packing all four pieces of porcelain, Liu Dong called a company bodyguard standing outside the door and handed him the three pieces of porcelain. As for the most important thing
The precious Yuan blue and white plum vase with dragon pattern and two paintings were all carried by Liu Dong himself.
He really wouldn't trust putting such a precious thing in anyone else's possession except Mu Gang.
"Mr. Liu, that dragon-patterned plum vase just now...?" Fang Zhonghua said with excitement on his face.
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Dong.
"Let's talk about it after we get back!"
After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Liu Dong continued shopping, and then bought more than 30 antiques. At this time, Liu Dong no longer followed any rules of more than 20,000 yuan, and he bought them all as long as he saw that the aura was still strong.
Gold and silverware, tin-lead wares, lacquer wares, Buddhist instruments, furniture, calligraphy and painting, ceramics, jade wares, bronze wares, red collections, stamps, old newspapers, comics, commemorative medals, old editions of books, ancient coins, etc., wait until Liu Dong is almost ready
By the time they finished shopping in all the antique shops and antique shops in the entire Antique Street, the eight company bodyguards who came here to help Liu Dong move things had almost broken their legs.
"Hey, I didn't expect to see such good things in China!" Liu Dong walked into a nearby shop. The interior decoration of the shop was not the same as that of most antique shops on Antique Street.
This place looks much more modern, and the items sold in the store are not traditional Chinese paintings, ceramics and other antiques, but oil paintings.
There are many oil paintings of different sizes hanging on the left and right walls of the hall, and there are also many on the display rack in the center.
"Sir, which one do you want to buy? I can get it for you to take a look!" Seeing Liu Dong bringing someone in, a middle-aged boss in his mid-thirties who was greeting two foreign tourists came up to him.
Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Boss, I didn't expect to see your shop specializing in oil paintings on the antique street!"
"Haha, the antique business is too deep. I'm not good at it myself, so I settle for the next best thing. I make some money from tourists by selling oil paintings. It's not a big deal!" The boss was very talkative and didn't say anything to Liu about his plans.
Keep it secret.
In fact, Liu Dong thinks that the boss's business strategy is quite good. Nowadays, more and more foreign tourists come to China every year. As an ancient city, Quancheng also has a lot of them every year. Antique Street is almost a fixed tourist attraction in Quancheng. People come here every day.
There are no less than a hundred foreign tourists here. There is such a shop selling oil paintings. I think it is quite popular with foreign tourists, just like when Liu Dong went abroad, the first shop he went to was a shop selling Chinese antiques and art.
While Liu Dong was talking to the boss, the two foreigners over there, who must be a couple, had already paid the bill and left with a small oil painting.
Seeing this, Liu Dong also started shopping in the store. Of course, he already knew what he wanted, so he walked to the many paintings that the boss had placed on the left and against the wall that had been framed.
.
There are paintings of Western characters and stories, as well as purely oriental oil paintings. However, although Liu Dong does not know much about oil painting appraisal, he still knows a little about appreciating it. At first glance, the level of these oil paintings is not very high, and there are many that are...
This is a so-called surreal art that I don't understand at all. Liu Dong basically passed by these paintings. He directly took out the frame that was at the end and with the picture facing away from him.
After seeing the content on the canvas, Liu Dong smiled. No wonder the boss put this painting at the very back, with his back to the wall. It turned out that the paintings on it were three naked Western women.
Although the country is now open to the public, such naked paintings are displayed openly and openly, which still makes people feel offensive. Even the owner of this shop is not exempt from the vulgarity.
The size of the picture frame is not small, with a height of 115 centimeters and a length of 165 centimeters. It took Liu Dong a little effort to take it out from behind a pile of paintings.
"Sir, do you like this painting?" After noticing the painting in Liu Dong's hand, the middle-aged boss looked at Liu Dong with a strange look.
But Liu Dong doesn't care what the boss thinks, what he wants most now is to bring this "Father of Western Oil Painting", a representative painter of the Venetian School of the late Renaissance in Italy -. In addition to the three paintings in Mr. Li's treasure room
, this is the first time Liu Dong has seen it, and he hopes to own the original work of a Western oil painting master.
"Yes, this painting is quite good. I want to buy it. Can the boss give me a price?" Liu Dong affirmed.
Seeing that Liu Dong's expression didn't seem to be fake, the middle-aged boss quoted a price of five thousand. Compared with the real value of the painting in Liu Dong's hands at this moment, five thousand was not even a fraction of the price. However, domestic
There are really not many people who can identify the authenticity of Titian. In the mind of this middle-aged boss, this is just a good Western painting, but because the picture is too naked, it is difficult to sell it!
"Boss, where did this painting come from?" Liu Dong asked with a smile after paying the bill.
"What you said really made me ask. Most of the paintings I have here are the works of students from the Academy of Fine Arts. Of course, there are also some collected from others. As for this painting, it has been displayed here for more than two years.
Yes, I really forgot how it came about!"
After listening, Liu Dong nodded, then took the paintings that had been packaged by the store, asked two bodyguards to carry them, and went out.
However, as soon as they came out of the oil painting shop and before they had walked a few steps, the group was blocked by a group of people gathered in front of them. Moreover, even if they were standing outside, they could hear the fierce quarrel coming from inside.
"Mr. Fang, can you help me take it?" Liu Dong said and took off the large backpack from his back.
"Of course there is no problem! But let's not get involved in Mr. Liu's noisy business. The people in the meeting are still waiting for us to go back!" Fang Zhonghua hesitated and couldn't help but persuade.
"Haha, isn't it still early? By the way, now we have gotten to know each other after this trip. Don't call me Mr. Liu. If you don't mind, call me Xiaodong, and you will be fine!"
"In this case, I won't be polite! Xiaodong, if you put this thing here, I won't lose it!" Fang Zhonghua said and took the backpack from Liu Dong's hand.
"Of course I believe what Brother Fang said!" Liu Dong said with a smile. With his own relic Yuanguang, even if the things were placed in Fang Zhonghua's hands, he would never take another thing away under his nose.
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong took two steps forward, and then squeezed into the crowd. With his physical strength, this kind of thing was very simple, and soon Liu Dong came to the front of the crowd.
The two people who were arguing were one wearing a gray vest, a pair of navy blue trousers, and a pair of slightly worn Jiefang shoes. They had dark skin and held a rectangular object wrapped in blue and white furoshiki tightly in their left hand.
, just by looking at this person's clothes, you can tell that he is a rural person. The other one is better dressed, but this person's figure is slightly thin, and his face has an oily look. Coupled with the broken porcelain bottle on the ground,
Liu Dong knew what this was about. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
