Chapter 539 Takeaway Rembrandt (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation)
The next famous painting, Ye Tian, is also very familiar and is one of the most important targets of this treasure hunt.
This is one of the 13 top works of art from the Gardner Museum in Boston, which was ransacked in 1990, Rembrandt's "Storm of the Sea of Galilee".
The situation that Ye Tian saw was exactly the same as the rumors, this painting was cut directly from the frame by the robbers with a paper cutter.
Under the perspective, the cutting marks on the edge of the painting were immediately presented in his eyes, which were very clear, and he felt a burst of pain when he saw it, and he almost scolded!
This is certainly not Thompson's doing, and I guess he can't do such a stupid thing, nine times out of ten it was Andrew's bastard hand, what a fool!
After cursing a few words secretly, Ye Tian immediately ended his perspective and began to appreciate this top famous painting.
Rembrandt, one of the greatest painters of the seventeenth century in Europe, is also the greatest painter in Dutch history.
He paints a wide range of genres, specializing in portraiture, landscape, genre painting, religious painting, history painting and other fields, in these fields, he has achieved very outstanding achievements, brilliant in the annals of art history!
In the history of European painting, Rembrandt has a lofty position, almost equal to many Italian Renaissance masters, and what he represents is the national character and national genius of Northern Europe!
The greatness of Rembrandt lies in the technique he invented to express his own special soul, chiaroscuro!
He uses light and shade in a unique way, flexibly dealing with light and dark in complex paintings, using light to enhance the main parts of the painting, and also allowing the dark parts to weaken and dissolve the secondary factors.
This magical chiaroscuro forms the intense dramatic color of Rembrandt's painting style, and also forms his unique painting characteristics!
The "Storm on the Sea of Galilee" in front of me perfectly embodies this characteristic.
Created in 1633, this Baroque painting is Rembrandt's only seafaring work, and it is of great significance and value!
Due to its peculiarity and extraordinary painting skills, the price of this top-quality oil painting has always been very high, and the art market has given an estimate of up to 300 million US dollars!
But if this oil painting does appear and is sent to a major auction, it will definitely cause a sensation and cause a crazy rush and chase, and there is almost no problem in fetching a sky-high price of more than $300 million.
For Ye Tian, this top-notch oil painting is one of the goals he wants to win the most!
When he went back to negotiate with the FBI's Art Crime Unit and the Gardner Museum, he was ready to open his mouth, and this painting and Vermeer's "Concert" must be one or the other!
After admiring this famous painting a few times, Ye Tian raised his mobile phone, began to shoot a video, and gave a professional and accurate appraisal conclusion.
"Look, this is the masterpiece of Rembrandt, the greatest painter of the 17th century in Europe and the greatest painter in the Netherlands, and the Storm of the Sea of Galilee is his only painting with the theme of navigation!
You're all familiar with this painting, and yes, it's one of the 13 top works of art that was looted at the Gardner Museum in Boston on St. Patrick's Day night in 1990.
From the size of the painting, we can clearly see the traces of the looting, the original size of this famous painting was 160*128, now visual inspection, the maximum is 145*115.
Fortunately, the fool who cut this famous painting did not damage the main body of the painting, and after more than 20 years, this famous painting has not been damaged in any other way, and it is still well preserved!
Based on my research and appraisal of this top-notch oil painting, I can tell you with certainty that this is the famous painting of Master Rembrandt, the only nautical oil painting, there is no doubt about it!
Now that you have seen this painting, you will definitely have this question, where are the other 12 top paintings that were looted at the same time?
I can tell you that the rest of the 12 top paintings are also here, there are quite a few of them, and they are quite well preserved and unscathed, and everyone will see them later!
After more than 20 years, it is a miracle that these paintings were all recovered intact, and it is the luck of the Gardner Museum and my luck!"
As before, when shooting the video material of this famous painting, Ye Tian also came to some close-ups, which made this video material more convincing.
The shooting of this video was completed quickly, and Ye Tian's professional appraisal conclusion also ended.
After saving the video data, he immediately pointed his phone at another famous painting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this painting, still by the master Rembrandt, a portrait of a person, created in the same way as the Lady in Black from 1633
He is truly worthy of the nickname 'Rembrandt on takeout'! International art thieves love his paintings so much that they always regard them as targets for looting!
Like The Storm at Sea of Galilee, it is one of the 13 top artworks that were looted at the Gardner Museum, and coincidentally, it is still placed next to The Storm at Sea of Galilee.
It seems that this art thief is a very interesting guy, and he actually put these two famous Rembrandt paintings together according to the placement of the Gardner Museum, how do you feel when you see it?
After my careful research and identification, this painting is undoubtedly Rembrandt's original, and indeed the top artwork that was looted at the Gardner Museum, I am very sure of that!"
After two consecutive 'take-out Rembrandt', the next painting was finally replaced.
"Look, this is also a top-notch work of art, from the famous French post-impressionist painting master Gauguin's masterpiece, "The Girl at the Window", created in 1898.
During that time, it was the peak of Gauguin's artistic career, and he created many immortal masterpieces and left a rich artistic wealth for the world, which is one of the masterpieces.
Seeing this famous painting from Gauguin, it is estimated that everyone will immediately think of the crazy theft that took place at the Conso Center for Modern Art in the Netherlands late at night in October 2012.
In that frenzied theft, a total of seven top works of art were looted, they were the famous Spanish Cubist painter and one of Picasso's masterpieces, "Harlequin Head"
"Self-Portrait" by the famous Dutch painter Meyer Dehan, "Waterloo Bridge, London" and "Charingcross Bridge, London" by the French Impressionist master Monet.
Fauvist standard-bearer Matisse's "Reading Girl in a White and Yellow Blouse", the famous British painter Freud's masterpiece "Woman with Closed Eyes" created in 2002, and this Gauguin in front of you!
There is no doubt that these seven paintings are top-notch works of art, with extraordinary artistic value and market value, and if they were not, the crazy art thieves would not have set their hands on them.
Unfortunately, I only saw four of them here, and the other three paintings are missing, presumably sold by these art thieves, and I hope to recover them one by one in the future!
After introducing this, it is time to announce the appraisal conclusion of the painting in front of you, and I can give you a very positive answer! This painting is 100% Gauguin's original work!"
Get another 10 million dollar painting, move on to the next one!
"Hello everyone, this is a beautiful landscape oil painting, by the famous French landscape painter Théodor Rousseau in the 19th century, it is a rare and top-notch work of art!
In 2003, this landscape painting was stolen from a museum in Marseille, France, along with three works by the famous French painters de la Penne and Trojan,......
Half a minute later, Ye Tian shifted the target again, began to shoot another famous painting, and gave an accurate appraisal conclusion.
At this moment, one of the masterpieces of the famous painter and founder of Fauvism, Henri Matisse, "The Gardens of Luxembourg"
In 2006, this famous painting was stolen from the São Paulo Museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, along with several famous paintings by Dalí, Picasso and Monet,......"
