Chapter 1033: Passing the Soul
After the initial shock, many professionals quickly rushed to the TV or computer screen, trying to close the distance between them and the painting, to look more closely.
This painting is so important that if it is Michelangelo's original work, it will be a treasure of art in that museum.
Even if it is placed in any country, it is a national treasure, there is no doubt about it.
Unfortunately, even if these professionals put their eyes on a TV or computer screen, they see very limited content that is not enough for them to draw accurate conclusions.
This is a live treasure hunt shot with a mobile phone camera, and the picture quality can be so good?
Perhaps sensing the eagerness of many professionals, Ye Tian suddenly broke the silence and said with a smile:
"Jason, now it's time to give a close-up, there are a few things to pay special attention to, the phone camera stays a little longer, those are the essence of this painting.
The first place is the scene where God flies from the sky and stretches his finger to Adam and transmits his soul to Adam, where the two fingers touch, is the soul of the whole painting!
The second place that needs to be given a close-up is Adam's head and eyes, which is very important to show his sad and longing demeanor.
The third thing to pay attention to is the God flying in the air, his sad and kind attitude, and his eyes looking at Adam, must give a clear close-up.
In addition, Adam's muscular physique, his languid lying position, the cherubs surrounding God's left arm, and the soon-to-be-born Eve under the protection of God's left arm were to be taken into account!
Because of religious beliefs, I am not suitable to comment on this "Creation of Adam", which may cause trouble, and when this painting is displayed, I will directly give an appraisal conclusion!"
"Okay, Steven, look at me, I'll be sure to show everyone the best part of the Creation of Adam!"
Jason nodded vigorously, his expression was very excited, and his eyes were full of piety and awe.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian stepped out of the dark grid, came to Betty's side, and gave up his previous position to Jason, so that he could get closer to shoot and display the painting more clearly and comprehensively.
Soon, a close-up appeared on the live broadcast screen, which was indeed much clearer than before.
This close-up is the first focus that Ye Tian said, which is the place that embodies the soul of the whole painting, the scene where God transmits the soul to Adam.
As this picture appeared on the live broadcast screen, an exclamation sounded again on the live broadcast end, and some devout believers had even begun to whisper prayers!
And those Western antique art appraisal experts, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they instantly narrowed the distance between them and the computer or TV screen again, and they were fascinated by the identification!
In the following time, Jason used his mobile phone to present some important details of this "Creation of Adam" to everyone's eyes one by one, without missing anything!
When these close-up pictures were presented one by one on the live broadcast screen, the exclamations on the live broadcast side also sounded again and again, one after another, never interrupted, and the sound of prayer became more and more!
The professionals who used these close-ups for identification became more and more excited, and some even burst into tears of excitement and couldn't help themselves!
The more details of the painting are displayed, the higher their evaluation of this painting will be, and the more they agree with Ye Tian's appraisal conclusion!
This is most likely Michelangelo's real work! The most outstanding and famous painting in the Genesis series, "The Creation of Adam"!
In the blink of an eye, five or six minutes had passed.
Jason showed this painting in its entirety, and he also gave close-up shots one by one for the places that Ye Tian said needed special attention, and none of them were missed!
After doing this, Jason exited the dark grid, stood two or three meters away and locked the painting with his phone camera, and continued the live broadcast.
Ye Tian took a step forward, stood next to "Creation of Adam" again, and re-entered the live broadcast screen.
It's time to announce the appraisal conclusion and valuation, and then give everyone in front of the live broadcast a heavy blow!
After adjusting his mood slightly, Ye Tian smiled, looked at the mobile phone camera in front of him and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think I need to introduce this oil painting to you, right? I believe that everyone on the live broadcast side knows about this outstanding painting, and even has studied it!
This is the famous Italian painter, sculptor, poet, one of the three masters of the Renaissance, Michelangelo's greatest painting, and the "Creation of Adam" in the "Genesis" series of paintings!
The Creation of Adam is the most outstanding and famous painting in the Genesis series, and the content it depicts is also the most moving scene in the entire series.
Of course, this is not the ceiling painting of the Sistine Chapel, the magnificent fresco is still displayed intact on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for countless people to admire and admire!
This oil painting of "The Creation of Adam", which is only the manuscript of that mural, is also by the great Michelangelo, and its artistic value is beyond the world, and it is a veritable priceless treasure.
There is certainly a reason why I am so sure that this painting is an authentic work by Michelangelo and not a work copied by other painters in the Sistine Chapel at later generations!
Because it involves the issue of religious beliefs, I will not comment on the content of this painting, here, I will only talk about the basis of identification, why it is said that it is an authentic work of Michelangelo!"
Hearing this, many people on the live broadcast side couldn't help but nod, and they had no objection to Ye Tian's approach.
Many of them know that Ye Tian is a staunch atheist, and it is indeed not suitable to comment on such a painting with a religious theme, which may cause unnecessary trouble.
When it comes to religion, it's always very serious, and it's absolutely right to be cautious!
After a pause, Ye Tianqing's voice came into everyone's ears again.
Like most of Michelangelo's works, this painting does not have his signature on it, and this great artist has never been in the habit of signing his own work.
In his lifetime, Michelangelo signed his name on only one work, and that is his famous work, the marble statue "Mourning Christ" for St. Peter's Basilica in Rome!
If there is no signature, how can we verify the authenticity of this painting? Of course, there are many ways, and one way is to start with the physical characteristics and use high-tech means to detect and identify them.
We can detect the age of the canvas and paint, as well as the year the frame was made, and with the help of modern high-tech testing equipment, it is not difficult to determine the age of the painting!
But this does not guarantee that the results of the appraisal are 100% accurate, and in the era in which Michelangelo lived, the possibility of forgery was not ruled out, and there were not a few painters who copied him!
Moreover, with today's technological conditions, some people can even cross the gap of history and use some special technologies and materials to forge antique works of art hundreds of years ago in order to make huge profits!
The use of high-tech equipment to determine the date of the painting's birth through unchanging physical properties is obviously not possible here, and can only be done later.
There is also a way to analyze and identify the authenticity of the painting from the artistry of the painting, which is the root and soul of a work of art, as well as the value of its existence.
I use this method to appraise, and I am very confident in my vision and ability to identify antique artworks, and it is impossible to look away, which is obvious to all!"
"Cut! It's too much confidence!"
Many people complained on the live broadcast side, quite disdainful and a little jealous.
Having said that, these people also have to admit that Ye Tian's eye for identifying antique artworks is indeed extremely sharp, and almost no one can match it!
Since entering this industry, no one has heard of him looking at it, even once! The antique works of art that he took into his arms are the best proof of this.
And those antique dealers who were frantically looted and picked up by him are the best witnesses!
Without the slightest pause, Ye Tianqing's voice continued to come, reaching everyone's ears.
"Let's start with the basic composition of the painting, and you can see at a glance that the painting is divided into two parts, which are very clear and clear.
In the lower left corner of the painting, Adam is reclining at the foot of the mountain, with a strong physique, a lazy posture, full of youthful strength, and in the upper right corner is God flying from the sky,......"
