Chapter 83 Crane Painting
Although he is new to the antique business, Liu Dong has heard a lot about the famous Xuande furnace, but when it comes to the appraisal of Xuande furnace, he is really far behind. If nothing else, just talk about the base price of this Xuande furnace.
There are four types of "Xuan" type, "Xuande" type, "Xuande year" type, and "Ming Xuande year type" type. Other common or uncommon ones are such as Zhaitang type and private name type. There are too many to count. Some people have concluded that
There are 116 types. Without long-term accumulation and practice, it is simply impossible to authenticate Xuande furnaces. Liu Dong is certainly no exception.
However, compared to ordinary people, although he can only be regarded as a newbie in the antique business, he has extraordinary powers that are unique in the world. After secretly thinking about it, his eyebrows jumped slightly, and soon a handful of white aura, which was not too strong, came from his hand.
A brown Xuande stove sprang up, and a line of words "Qing Dynasty Xianfeng Yuqing Hall imitated Ming Dynasty Xuande stove" also appeared above the yellow orb in the mustard space.
Liu Dong had never heard of the 'Yu Qing Tang', but since the Xuande stove came out, for hundreds of years, whether it was the royal family or the people, the imitation of the Xuande stove has never stopped. Except for those famous artists who occasionally produce fine products.
Along with the royal families of various dynasties, a large number of other handicraft workshops that imitated Xuande stoves have long been lost in the long river of history.
"Why, brother Liu also likes this stove?" After a pause, he continued, "That's right, 'Reading at Night with Red Sleeves Adding Fragrance', what man wouldn't like it?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Brother Wang is quite funny, but it's a pity that this stove is missing a lid, otherwise it would be like what Brother Wang said, it would be a bit interesting like 'red sleeves add fragrance'." When he said this, his mind couldn't help but think.
Wang Qiang, who has extraordinary appearance, emerged. However, although the relationship between the two is much closer than before, there is still a long distance between them as boyfriend and girlfriend. Therefore, even if you want Wang Qiang's
Red sleeves add fragrance to him, but that is not something that can be obtained now.
Therefore, Liu Dong shook his head secretly and put the imitation Xuande stove back again.
After looking at two items, Liu Dong didn't want to look at them one by one anymore. After all, this was not his home, and it was impossible for Wang Haitao, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, to accompany him all the time looking at antiques here.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong's heart moved, and all the antiques and cultural relics on the iron frame in front of him were immediately enveloped in the aura released from his eyebrows.
"Huh?" In his eyes, these antiques emitted a thick or light white aura. Liu Dong was not surprised by this, but what surprised him was that a red light like a raging flame destroyed all the white light in front of him.
They were all suppressed. This was the first time he had seen this situation.
You must know that all the antique auras he has come into contact with before are almost all white regardless of the shade. Now it is the first time that he has seen an antique with such a strong red aura, and from the richness of the aura, it is almost the same as what he had received before.
The "Spring Mountain Companions" by Tang Yin and the octagonal stupa by Wang Shuyuan of the Ming Dynasty are a bit more intense.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong's curiosity became particularly intense.
Immediately, he bent down and took out a roll of something like a tattered rag from the lower right corner of the iron shelf, which was also the lowest level.
"Brother Liu, forget about those things, they are not worth much at all!" Seeing Liu Dong's actions, Wang Haitao standing aside said quickly. Generally, the items placed at the bottom are basically damaged and cannot be seen.
It's a worthless thing.
"It's okay, I'm just taking a look!" After gently patting the dust on the linen cloth, Liu Dong squatted on the ground, held down one side of the linen cloth, and slowly stretched it out.
It could be seen that this linen cloth should not be old for a long time, and it was very seriously damaged and damaged during the unfolding process. However, a faint yellow color soon appeared in his eyes, which made Liu Dong feel heartbroken.
"This must be Juan!" Liu Dong secretly guessed as he looked at the center of the linen cloth. Although it had turned yellow, the smooth and delicate texture of the cloth could still be seen.
Silk is the general name for ancient silk fabrics. Before paper existed, it had always been used as an important material for writing and painting. However, although China invented paper as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty by Cai Lun, the application of mature rice paper in the field of painting only began
In the Tang Dynasty, for example, the "Chengxintang" rice paper, which is famous throughout history and highly praised by literati of all dynasties, is the masterpiece of Li Yu, the famous later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is characterized by its "skin as egg membrane, as firm and clean as jade, and fine as fine as jade".
The characteristic of "thinness, smoothness and smoothness" was unparalleled for a while.
However, during the Tang and Song Dynasties, although rice paper had appeared, silk was still the main force in the field of painting. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that relatively cheap rice paper truly replaced expensive silk and was widely used.
As the linen roll in his hand slowly unfolded little by little, more and more bright yellow cranes were exposed. Suddenly, a crane fluttered its wings and flew away. A crane with black claws, black tail, white wings and red crown suddenly appeared in his eyes. The picture
The lines of the white crane in the painting are smooth, and the few strokes in the eyes reveal sharpness. Although there is not much ink on the whole white crane, the demeanor and movements of the white crane taking off are very vividly drawn, as if it is alive.
Seeing this white crane, Liu Dong paused with his right hand and couldn't help but feel deep admiration in his heart. Although he had never studied Chinese painting before, when doing sculpture, the design sketch must have a good sketching foundation, so simply
He can still see some skills in appreciating Chinese paintings.
Although only a white crane is currently visible in this painting, it can also be seen that the author of this painting must be an outstanding master of traditional Chinese painting.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong's desire to see it became more serious. He used his right hand to spread out the entire painting against the concrete floor of the storage room. Fortunately, there were few people here, and there were few people on the ground.
There is not much dust, and there is no long table for viewing paintings here, otherwise Liu Dong would never put it on the ground like now after seeing the contents inside.
After the whole painting was unfolded, its full view also fell into Liu Dong's eyes. In addition to the severely damaged linen mounting on the outside, the length of the whole painting should be about 1.5 meters and the width about 0.75 meters. It is painted on silk and is bright yellow.
On the canvas, five white cranes with different postures are painted, either flying or lying down.
The feet of the white crane are outlined with a few strokes of mountains, rocks, grass and trees, reflecting the tall mountains and rivers in the distance. The space of the entire painting is immediately widened, which also reflects the agility of the crane.
Seeing this, Liu Dong felt relieved at the same time. Although the linen decoration outside was very damaged, except for the fact that there were many bluish-gray mold spots on the center of the painting, which may have been caused by too much time, there was no damage at all.
It is a blessing among misfortunes.
But after looking at the whole painting again, Liu Dong couldn't help but frowned. Looking at the painting, he always felt a little weird, because the painting was too full. Generally, after the painter finished painting, he would
There is a certain amount of white space around the painting. In addition to considering the composition, it can also be used for the author to stamp and withdraw money. Generally speaking, when the painting is mounted, these white spaces should be left. But look
In this painting, there is no white space at all on the top, bottom, left and right, and the entire painting touches the surrounding linen mounting. This is really unreasonable.
In addition, such a wonderful painting is actually mounted on a piece of tattered linen cloth, just like the original red flowers with green leaves, but now there are no green leaves, and they are even inserted into cow dung. It is really regrettable and makes people feel
weird.
Moreover, there is not even a single promotion for such an outstanding painting. Even though promotion of painting was not popular in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, it cannot be justified in any case that there is no promotion or recognition for such a good painting.
"That's it!" When Liu Dong once again used the power of his eyebrows to look at the entire painting, he understood in his heart and at the same time he couldn't help but feel strong joy and possessiveness.
However, he had not forgotten that the leader of the Black Tiger Gang with vicious eyes and rich experience was standing next to him, so the joy on his face did not show much.
"Brother Wang, this painting is quite good, but it's a pity that I am not very knowledgeable and cannot tell which dynasty and which painter it is from!" Liu Dong slowly rerolled the entire painting and said calmly.
"Haha, brother Liu, don't belittle yourself. When I first got this painting, I had someone look at it, but unfortunately I couldn't find its provenance. Later, I saw that it was an ancient painting, and it should not be too old.
It's a pity, so I just stayed here." Wang Haitao said with a smile.
