Chapter 322 "Three Beauties"
.........Seeing how Liu Dong was not arrogant despite his merits, respected his elders and virtuous people, and was humble and steady, Mr. Dong couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. He liked the young man who was so talented and gentlemanly the most.
.
"Xiaodong, I heard Xiaofang say when he came back that the most precious objects you picked up the most were all kept by yourself. Shouldn't you take them out now to open the eyes of us old guys?" Mr. Dong said with infinite expectations.
He looked at Liu Dong and said.
To be honest, after experiencing the appraisal of more than a hundred antiques, all of which were authentic, Mr. Dong has no doubt about Liu Dong's appraisal level. Now he hopes to see rare antiques come to the world.
"Haha, Mr. Dong, good things should be saved for the end, so let's finish appraising the things in front of us first! What do you think?"
After thinking for a moment, the old man nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you, otherwise, after the big meal, there won't be any more desserts left!"
After Mr. Dong finished speaking, Liu Dong nodded and then signaled Mu Gang to continue.
Then, the treasure appraisal that had been interrupted when Liu Dong came in started again. Fortunately, there were not many things left, so after more than an hour, nearly thirty antiques of various types were individually appraised.
This appraisal activity, which lasted for nearly six hours, has almost come to an end.
Of course, there is one piece left that has not been authenticated, and that is the authentic Titian painting that Liu Dong bought back.
"Uh...! Huh...!"
When Liu Dong removed the cover from the surface of the oil painting, the three naked women in the painting also appeared in front of everyone. Then a slight wave rippled through the crowd.
Although everyone is studying antique appraisal and their receptivity is better than ordinary people, the influence of traditional Confucian ideas is still very deep, so when Liu Dong's painting appeared, most of the old men over fifty agreed.
frowned.
Of course there are exceptions, such as Mr. Dong, and of course there are a few others who should have studied this themselves, or studied oil painting.
"I got this in a shop specializing in oil paintings on Antique Street. I hope you can identify it!" Liu Dong said with a smile while holding Gao Yue's 120-centimeter frame.
"Lao Xie, Lao Liu, you two specialize in this, and you are better at oil painting appraisal than me. Come and have a look!" Although Mr. Dong is a famous calligraphy and painting master in China, and a master of calligraphy and painting appraisal, but for
All of them are Chinese paintings, and I am obviously not very proficient in Western oil paintings.
After Mr. Dong finished speaking, two old men with gray hair who were over fifty years old walked out of the crowd. Their expressions were slightly solemn, and there was a hint of excitement in their eyes. It was obvious that they also discovered the extraordinary nature of Liu Dong's oil painting.
Then, about a quarter of an hour later, the two old men held up magnifying glasses and looked at the oil painting inch by inch before they both stood up.
"Old Liu, you say it, or should I say it?" It's up to you to say it. Let me calm down first. I almost had a heart attack just now. The old man named Xie covered his chest, his face turned red, and he took two hard breaths.
, said with a slightly hoarse voice.
But at this moment, no one knew that this oil painting might have a great background, because the excited expressions on the faces of these two old men said everything.
"Okay, then I'll say it!" After seeing his companion nodding, Liu Laocai suppressed his excited tone and tried to calm himself down: "Based on the layout of this painting, the brushwork, and the degree of dryness of the paint,
As well as the quality of the canvas and the degree of natural aging, we concluded that it should be a painting of the late Western Renaissance, and he was also known as the 'Father of Western Oil Painting' in the late Renaissance."
"As for the content of this painting, it should be the three gods of beauty, the goddess of chastity, the god of beauty and the god of love in Western mythology...!"
"Sorry, Mr. Liu! Excuse me!" The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, with eyes, wearing the same white shirt as Liu Dong, with a bookish air about him, like a teacher.
After noticing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the man quickly said: "Mr. Liu, as far as I know, isn't "The Three Beauties" a masterpiece by Rubens? Moreover, the three characters in this painting are all standing.
Doesn’t it match this painting?”
Of course, this is also a question shared by everyone present who has some knowledge of Rubens' "Three Beauties" painting.
In this painting by Liu Dong, there are three full-body Western women. One is lying on the ground looking forward, one is bending over and turning to look to her left, and the other is standing with her left leg slightly raised and her left hand on her shoulder.
The right hand hangs naturally. If you draw a line in the direction in which the arms of the three gods of beauty are tilted, it will be almost a triangle. The background of the painting is a leafy tree, and perspective is used to reflect the extreme left side of the painting.
The blue sky and fields in the distance give the whole painting a sense of three-dimensionality and space.
"The Three Beauties in this painting are indeed inconsistent with Rubens' "Three Beauties", but the Three Beauties are Western myths and legends. Many famous Western painters have a large number of oil paintings, prints and sculptures about them, and Titian is among them.
One of the surviving Titian paintings is "Venus of Urbino", "Sleeping Venus", "The Adoration of Venus", etc., and Titian is the same as Rubens.
, was once loved by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. During this period, he created a large number of portraits for the nobles. The famous work "Venus of Urbino" was born during this period."
"I believe this oil painting of "Three Beauties" should be Titian's early work, and it is also one of his masterpieces!"
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, everyone looked at Liu Dong with envy in their eyes. Although everyone was an appraiser specializing in domestic art such as ceramics, calligraphy and painting, they were also familiar with some Western oil painting masters, especially Titian.
A famous figure in the late Renaissance who is known as the "Father of Western Oil Painting".
I believe that if Liu Dong's original oil painting by Titian were sold at auction, based on the previous transaction price of Titian's work at Christie's London in 1991 of US$11.9 million, then the current painting in Liu Dong's hands would be worth at least tens of millions of US dollars.
Things, if converted into RMB, would exceed 100 million!
Of course, if factors such as currency depreciation and rising art collection prices are included, the final transaction price will definitely be higher.
"Xiaodong, you made a lot of money this time!" Mr. Wu said with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Haha, old man, you are wrong! I have no intention of selling any of the collections here today, no matter how much the money is!" Liu Dong said firmly. He knew that if he didn't speak clearly today,
So when today's news spreads, the major auction companies will definitely crowd out the collectors who come to buy antiques.
Although his words alone can't stop the flood of people coming to the door now, I believe it will have some effect.
"Hey, young man, don't be so absolute. Like us who are collecting, only by exchanging knowledge can we increase our knowledge and improve our appraisal level!" The speaker was an old man in his sixties, looking at him
With the fiery look in his eyes, he knew that this old man must have set his sights on his collection.
However, there must be more than one person with his thoughts. Liu Dong just smiled and said nothing. Anyway, he had already made up his mind to pay attention, except that the quality was not good, or the collection value was not too high, and
Except for duplicate collections, he will never let any other items go out.
"Okay, let's continue to appreciate Liu Dong's other objects!" At this time, Mr. Dong also noticed the fiery looks in everyone's eyes and the stubbornness in Liu Dong's eyes, so in order to avoid conflict between the two parties, he wisely changed the topic.
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded. Now he was vaguely regretting the limelight this time. It was really causing trouble for himself. But now he was riding a tiger and had no choice but to go on.
"The worst we can do today, I will go to Qingdao tomorrow and wait until the storm is over before I come back!" Liu Dong thought to himself, and then took the Tang Dynasty Lei Gongqin - Jiuxiao Huanpei, which he had been holding in his arms.
come out!
"Is this the 'Jiuxiao Huanpei'?" Mr. Dong looked at the guqin Liu Dong placed on the table and couldn't help but say in surprise.
Mr. Dong had seen a thousand-year-old guqin like the "Jiuxiao Huanpei" more than once in the Forbidden City, and he knew its appearance and characteristics very well.
"What? The Lei's Qin from the Tang Dynasty - Jiuxiao Huanpei, is it real or fake? Aren't there only four of this kind of Tang Qin handed down from generation to generation?"
"Jiuxiao Huanpei, if this piano is real, this will be a great discovery that shocks the whole country!"
"Shock the whole country? Even without this piano, the priceless antiques that appeared today are enough to shock the whole country! Moreover, Mr. Dong has confirmed that this Jiuxiao Huanpei is genuine. This must be the fifth Thunder God.
Qin——Jiuxiao Huanpei is born!”…
Mr. Dong's words of "Jiu Xiao Huan Pei" immediately turned the originally quiet hall into a vegetable market. Everyone came forward to see the true appearance of this ancient famous piano!
"Liu Dong, you are so...!!!" At this time, Mr. Dong once again confirmed that this was a real famous piano from the Tang Dynasty - after wearing the Jiuxiao ring, Mr. Wu looked at the outstanding Liu Dong and could no longer find any adjectives.
To describe his shocking performance today.
Looking at the complicated expression on Mr. Wu's face, Liu Dong smiled faintly. It was superfluous to say anything at this time. The strong facts made it impossible for people to look directly at his appraisal talent.
"No, no, no! Why did you put it away? We haven't admired it enough!" About ten minutes later, when Liu Dong put away the Nine Heavens Ring, everyone at the scene stopped.
But Liu Dong didn't want them to continue watching, otherwise they wouldn't be able to watch enough in an hour. It was already past two o'clock, and he still had the next two assessments, and he had to go to Dong Fugui's construction site in the evening, but there was no
How much time is wasted here. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
