"It's really beautiful, it's fascinating! I haven't seen the author's signature, but I'm sure the painter is not a general, maybe a very famous artist.

What exactly is the artist's work? What era was it made in? What is the value? Betty, do you know? If so, let me tell you, I'm looking forward to knowing the answer!"

Logan said excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

This kid still has a certain appreciation ability, and he also has some understanding of artworks, after all, he is a student of the MIT Department of Architecture, and he must have studied related art courses.

In particular, he must be very familiar with the waterfront buildings in Venice, Italy, which are classic buildings that every architecture student has to study.

Not only was he curious, but so was Evelyn.

She was also looking forward to knowing the answer, and wanted to know how much the painting in front of her was worth more than the bottle of 1947 White Horse Red Wine, whether it was high or low.

Unlike them, Matthew had a thoughtful expression, and his eyes flashed with excitement from time to time.

Obviously, he is speculating about the author of this oil painting, and he is also guessing the value of this oil painting, and he has already obtained it, but he doesn't know if it is correct!

Betty shrugged her shoulders and said with a little regret:

"I'm sorry, Logan, I don't know the answer, just like you, I love this painting and want to know who the author is.

Steven didn't tell me the answer, he said that he would announce the answer in Boston, and surprise everyone, and now he can let Steven reveal the answer!"

After saying that, Betty turned her head to look at her boyfriend next to her, expecting him to reveal the answer.

Logan and Evelyn were the same, both looking at Ye Tian, their eyes full of anticipation.

Ye Tian smiled softly, then smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll reveal the answer, it's ......"

At this moment, Matthew suddenly interrupted Ye Tian, took over the conversation and said:

"Steven, don't announce the answer yet, let me guess, okay? I know a little bit about art, and I know a little bit about appraisal, and now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it!"

Matthew's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke, his eyes were unusually bright and shining!

Obviously, this old man is interested and wants to show off his skills and show his artistic skills.

Ye Tian stopped talking, nodded with a smile, agreed to Matthew's request, and then looked at the old man with interest.

I don't know how good this old man is? Can you guess the answer? It's kind of interesting!

Hearing her father's words, Betty and Logan looked at each other in surprise.

I didn't hear my dad would appreciate art! What kind of moth is this? Don't make a fool of yourself! Steven is a well-known art appraisal, and he has never looked at it!

Only Evelyn still looks like an old god, looking at her husband with a smile on her face, looking very confident.

The living room fell silent, and everyone was waiting for Matthew's conclusion.

Matthew picked up the oil painting on the coffee table, held it in his hand, and began to conduct visual identification, he looked very carefully and seriously, quite like an appraisal expert!

Seeing his performance, Ye Tian's eyes couldn't help but light up, maybe this old man really had two brushes! Let's look at his appraisal results, it's worth looking forward to!

Betty and Logan's eyes widened as they looked at Matthew incredulously.

Is this still my father? Why did he suddenly become an expert forensics? Still decent! Don't pretend, right?

After two or three minutes, Matthew put down the painting and looked up at everyone.

Then, he began to talk about the identification conclusions he had reached, and he was extremely excited and a little confident.

"Judging from the slightly old frame of this oil painting and the condition of the canvas, it should have a long history, at least more than 50 years, am I right?

The old man was obviously not very confident yet, and he began to ask for advice on the first one.

The target of the inquiry is, of course, Ye Tian, he is an expert in art appraisal on the spot, and he is a very bullish kind!

"That's right, Mr. Walter, you are very correct in this regard, and the age of this painting is indeed more than 50 years!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, giving a positive answer, but did not reveal more.

"Great! I knew that although I hadn't appraised a work of art for more than 20 years, my eyesight was still there, and it hadn't completely degraded and disappeared!"

Matthew shook his fist and cheered, happy as a child.

I actually let my dad guess correctly!

I haven't had a work of art authenticated in 20 years! What the hell is this? Could it be that my dad used to be an expert in art appraisal? No kidding!

Betty and Logan's eyes were about to fly out, and they looked at their dad in shock, unable to believe what they had just heard!

Only Evelyn remained as usual, seemingly taking all this for granted and not to be surprised.

And the way she looked at Matthew, it was even more gentle, a little reminiscent of the past!

After calming down a bit, Matthew began to continue to tell his conclusions, this time obviously more confident.

"This painting seems to be a landscape oil painting of the Barbizon School in France, from the picture, the brush is light, natural and vivid, beautiful and fresh, and it is a very realistic painting technique.

The characters and scenes on the paintings are all lifelike, giving people an immersive feeling, full of poetry, and what it shows is the most real and simple beauty of nature!

Based on the landscape depicted in this painting, as well as the painting techniques, as well as my speculation about the school, I think it may be the work of Charles François Dobigny of the Barbizon school.

I can see Dobini's style, but it's not very obvious, but even if it's not Dobini's paintings, the painter is definitely deeply influenced by Dobini, and his painting style is very similar to Dobini!

This is just my personal appraisal conclusion, and I am not sure, after all, I am only an art lover, not a professional, and I cannot compare with a high-level appraisal expert like you.

If I'm right, it's Dobigini's work, then we're not going to take it, and we're not going to hang it at home! It's so expensive! It's going to keep us awake!"

After reading out the appraisal conclusion, Matthew immediately looked at Ye Tian and waited for Ye Tian to comment on it to verify whether his appraisal conclusion was correct.

And in his heart, he has basically decided on the result.

The painting in front of me is Dobini's work, and with Steven's boldness, he shouldn't have given a copy or fake to Evelyn!

You know, Evelyn is likely to be his future mother-in-law!

Thinking of this, Matthew couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

This is a painting by Charles Dobigny! A top-notch oil painting that many art collectors dream of, but is out of reach!

As soon as he finished speaking, Matthew already regretted it a little!

If Steven had heeded his advice and really retracted the painting, wouldn't he have regretted his death?

If you miss this top-notch oil painting at your fingertips, you will keep yourself awake at night!

Betty and Logan, as well as Evelyn, were already stupid at this time, looking at the oil painting on the table in disbelief, looking at Ye Tian, and also looking at Matthew!

The eyes of the three of them flashed with surprise, even crazy!

Charles François Doubigny!

For anyone who has studied the history of European art, Dobigini is a figure that cannot be avoided, not to mention well-known, at least familiar!

Betty, of course, they knew Dobini's name, which they had heard in art classes in high school and college, and not once or twice!

This great god was a famous French painter of the nineteenth century, a banner figure of the Barbizon school, and is also considered one of the important pioneers of Impressionism, as well as a recipient of the French Knight Legion of Legion!

Speaking of Dobigny, we must first talk about the Barbizon School.

This is a famous school of landscape painting born in France in the 19th century.

Barbizon is located at the entrance of the Fontainebleau forest in Paris, with beautiful scenery, in the thirties and forties of the 19th century, a group of painters who were dissatisfied with the rule of the July Dynasty and academic painting came to settle here one after another to paint, forming the Barbizon School.

They not only depict the appearance of nature in a realistic way, but also devote themselves to exploring the inner life of the natural world, and strive to express the painter's sincere feelings about nature in their works.

They created real natural landscape paintings, rejecting the false historical landscape painting program of the academic school, and opened the prelude to the fierce realist art movement in France in the 19th century.

The Barbizon School opposed the academic painters painting landscapes indoors, and advocated going out of the studio to sketch the scene in natural light, and then using the sketch as the basis for landscape painting.

Their creative experience, especially the artistic proposition and practice of sketching scenes, in order to obtain a real and fresh feeling and brighten the tone of the picture, has brought important inspiration to European and American landscape painters.

Among them are the most important school of Impressionism in the history of modern and modern art, as well as many other famous art masters, all of whom were deeply influenced by the Barbizon School.

The representative painters of the Barbizon School include Rousseau, de la Penne, Dobigny, etc., all of whom are famous painters in the history of Western art.

And Dobigini was one of the first painters to paint in the conditions of external light, and he was a well-deserved banner painter of the Barbizon School, and his paintings were not only of extraordinary artistic value, but also of pioneering significance!

Most of Dobigny's paintings are sun-drenched and full of light, and his compositions are mostly framed by banners, which have a sense of brightness and openness, full of natural vitality.

He studied water features very thoroughly and was considered the most adept painter of the Barbizon School to paint water.

It was his way of going deep into nature and sketching scenes that had a great influence on later Impressionist painters and directly contributed to the birth of Impressionism!

Famous art masters such as Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Cézanne, etc., can even be said to be students of Dobini, and Monet was brought back to France from England by him!

In their artistic practice, these young painters at that time were deeply influenced by Dobini's paintings, and then created countless top-notch artworks, which shine in the history of Western art!

Dobigini also gave these younger painters a firm support, and he himself is known as the originator of Impressionism.

In the history of French art, Dobigny's status is very high, and even above famous art masters such as Paul Cézanne and Delacroix, he has been admired and praised by countless people!

His paintings, both in terms of artistic value and market value, are very high, and are enthusiastically pursued by countless people, and are the top art collections!

Therefore, when Betty and the others heard that the painting in front of them might be the work of Dobbini, they were naturally very shocked and even a little incredulous!

Evelyn, in particular, was glued to the painting on the table, and she was reluctant to move it for a moment.

At this time, she couldn't wait to go up and seal Matthew's mouth immediately.

Is it time to be polite? This is a painting by Dobini! If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
