Chapter 541 Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Unit (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation)
The process of shooting was much faster, and after ten minutes, Ye Tian was already standing in front of the rows of steel exhibition shelves in the room and began to photograph the many artworks hanging on the shelves.
The first work is very familiar to him, and it is a top famous painting that he would like to keep for himself.
The image of the painting soon appeared on the mobile phone screen, and Ye Tian's voice rang out.
"Look, I'm sure you're very familiar with this painting, which is the famous genre painter Vermeer's "Concert", which was stolen from the Gardner Museum in Boston on St. Patrick's Day in 1990!
Of all the art that has been stolen, this is the most expensive painting, and as to the authenticity of the painting, I can say with great certainty that it is Vermeer's original work, beyond ...... doubt."
This is one of the top artworks that Ye Tian cares about the most and makes his eyes hot the most, and during the shooting, he couldn't help but say a few more words!
After the shooting, he reluctantly looked away from this painting and looked at another famous painting next to him!
"What you see now is the brilliant work of one of the greatest American painters of the 20th century, Andrew Wise, "Autumn," created in 1943.
In 2011, the famous painting was stolen from a gallery in Houston, and it has not been heard from since, and to this day, according to my research and identification, it is indeed the original work of Andrew Wise, there is no doubt about it!"
Moving on to the next one, it is a landscape painting, which makes people feel happy to look at!
Filming begins, and explanations follow!
"This is a beautiful landscape painting from Corot, one of the three great French landscape painters of the nineteenth century, whose painting is called The Road of Sèvres.
In 1998, this painting was stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris, Corot is one of my favorite artists, and based on what I know about his paintings, I am sure that this landscape painting in front of me is definitely the real thing!"
"We saw another post-impressionist masterpiece by Paul Cézanne, the master of art who brought me luck and fortune, and the title of this painting is "Landscape of Auvers-sur-Oise".
This is a top piece of art that was stolen in 1999 from the Echmoline Museum in Oxford, England, and there is no doubt that it is the real thing!
While shooting, Ye Tian explained quickly and constantly gave the most accurate identification conclusions.
His footsteps stopped and stopped, all the while moving along the display shelf.
At this moment, he is like a fish swimming in the ocean of art, enjoying it incomparably, and his eyes are full of intoxication!
The only fly in the ointment is that it is necessary to keep explaining, giving appraisal conclusions, and not stopping for a moment, which is indeed a bit hard!
After another ten or twenty minutes, he came to the third row of exhibition shelves.
When he walked here, a look of surprise immediately flashed in his eyes, and his eyes became even brighter!
The reason for this change is that there are several traditional Chinese ink landscape paintings hanging on the tall exhibition shelf in front of me!
These top-notch artworks from his homeland instantly moved him and firmly attracted his attention.
He was very surprised and a little emotional about seeing Chinese landscape paintings here.
Thompson's old fellow knows how to appreciate traditional Chinese culture, let alone ink landscapes! That's impossible!
I don't know what this old guy thinks, but he actually got a few ink landscape paintings!
Could it be that seeing the boom in Chinese antiques and artworks in the past two years and the soaring prices, he also wants to join in the fun and make some money from the Chinese people? This possibility cannot be ruled out!
If this old guy is allowed to find the right way, it may be possible to achieve this goal!
There are no archives of stolen antique art in China, and once the relevant antique art is sold through public channels and the stolen party does not find it, it cannot be recovered!
For an international art thief like Thompson, this is undoubtedly a huge loophole, and there are countless opportunities to make a fortune inside, how can you miss it?
Luckily, they don't seem to have found a good opportunity to get rid of these Chinese antiques and put them here for the time being!
This is something left by our ancestors, since I found it, then these treasures will belong to buddies in the future, no one wants to snatch them!
The moment he saw these ink landscapes, Ye Tian made a decision!
When you go back and bargain with the FBI Art Crime Team and various museums, you must take down all the Chinese antique artworks here, and it doesn't matter if you suffer any losses in other aspects!
Regarding the authenticity of these ink landscape scrolls, Ye Tian did not have any doubts!
These treasures are all from the major museums in the United States and Europe, and they have already been very authoritatively identified, all of them are genuine, and none of them are fakes or fakes!
Besides, Ye Tian's eyes are the best and most authoritative appraiser!
In his eyes, these paintings all radiate a dazzling light of different colors, which accurately indicates the era from which they came!
And those charming and seductive halos on the surface of the paintings prove that they are all masterpieces, with extraordinary artistic value and market value!
After carefully admiring a few paintings for a while, wandering between those black and white landscapes, Ye Tianfang regained his mind and raised his mobile phone again to start shooting.
This is a landscape painting from ancient China, "Cave Mountain Crossing Water Map", the representative work of Ma Yuan, a famous painter of the Southern Song Dynasty in ancient China, has a history of more than 900 years!
Originally in the collection of the Old Summer Palace, a Chinese imperial garden, the book was looted by the Japanese and brought back to Japan, where it has been kept at the Tokyo National Museum ever since.
I don't know why I am here, but to be honest, as a Chinese, I am very happy and honored to see this famous ancient Chinese painting here!
Although it is the first time I have seen this painting, with my understanding of Chinese painting and calligraphy, I can give a very positive answer, this is the true work of the Southern Song Dynasty painter Ma Yuan!"
After shooting the video and making an appraisal, Ye Tian moved to the next painting.
It is still an ink landscape, the painting style is handsome and elegant, which is heartwarming!
"What you see is still a traditional Chinese ink landscape painting, from the famous painter of the Ming Dynasty, Wen Zhengming, the four masters of the Ming Dynasty, this is one of his masterpieces, "Wushan Qiuji Picture".
As far as I know, this is a famous painting from a private collection, but I didn't expect it to appear here, it seems that the collector has been ransacked by art thieves!
After my quick research and identification, this ancient famous painting with a history of nearly 600 years is indeed the authentic work of Wen Zhengming in the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt about it!"
Moving forward, what you see is still the ink landscape.
This painting depicts the landscape of the south of the Yangtze River.
Under the painter's brush, the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River seem to be transparent, the water is alive, the trees are green, the stones are moist, and the wind is light!
The style of the whole painting is beautiful, the brush is concise, the lines are long, and the ink and water are all dripping and happy, especially the "big wall splitting" method, and there is a precedent for a generation!
There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece of traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy!
After appreciating it with fascination, Ye Tianfang began to shoot, explain, and give an appraisal conclusion.
"Now it is a Chinese art unit, and it is also a Chinese ink landscape, which was written by Li Tang, a famous painter in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the name of the painting is "Autumn Colors of Rivers and Mountains".
This famous painting was previously in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, but I didn't expect it to appear here, and it seems that these art thieves love Boston so much that they actually ransacked a museum in the city!
I am very familiar with this painting, and I have admired it more than once when I came to Boston before, so I am also very confident in the appraisal of this painting, which is 100% the authentic work of Li Tang!"
After filming "Autumn Colors of Rivers and Mountains", Ye Tian took two more ink landscapes before ending the Chinese painting and calligraphy unit.
Then what appeared in front of his eyes was a famous oil painting on canvas!
"Edgar Degas's masterpiece, "Ludovic Lepique and His Daughter", was ransacked at gunpoint by three masked bandits at the exhibition hall of the Bürle Foundation in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2008!
