Ye Tian's gaze easily penetrated the wall and was directly projected onto the oil painting on the north wall of the bedroom, and he had no time to care about anything else!

In his eyes, this oil painting radiates a dazzling red light throughout, which is extremely beautiful!

Based on the intensity of the red light, he instantly determined the date of the painting's creation.

And the nearly 20 layers of alluring and charming halo on the surface of the oil painting are extremely accurate to illustrate the artistic value of this painting!

This is an oil painting created in the late seventies and early eighties of the nineteenth century, from the hands of the top painting art masters, with extraordinary artistic value and market value!

Of course, this could never be Thompson's work!

"Claude Monet, 'The Poppies Field Near Wetney!' is so beautiful!"

Ye Tian whispered the name of the oil painting, and continued to appreciate this famous painting from perspective, his eyes were full of excitement, and he was even a little intoxicated!

That's right! This is Monet's painting, and one of his masterpieces!

"Poppies near Wetney"!

Claude Monet, a famous French painter, the leader of Impressionism, is known as the leader of Impressionism, and is one of the representatives and founders of Impressionism.

Monet was one of the most important French painters, and most of the theories and practices of Impressionism were generalized by him.

The Impressionist movement, which originated in France in the sixties of the nineteenth century, was a powerful movement that opposed the outdated classical school of painting and the romanticism that indulged in medieval chivalric literature and fell into pretentiousness.

The Impressionist movement can be seen as the pinnacle of naturalistic tendencies in the nineteenth century, as well as the starting point of modern art.

Claude Monet's name has always been associated with Impressionism, and he contributed more than anyone else to the formation of this school of art and the new ways in which he depicted reality.

It can be said that it was through Monet's hands that Impressionism was truly carried forward!

Impressionism had an extremely significant impact on the history of Western art! It broke through the conservative ideas of the academic school and greatly impacted the official art that dominated the Western painting scene in the late 19th century!

In this way, a new page was opened in the history of modern Western painting!

As the leader of Impressionism and the first successful Impressionist painter, Monet has an extremely important position in the history of French art and even in the history of Western art.

Monet excelled in experimenting with light and shadow, and revolutionized the way he painted shadows and contours, which was his most important style.

In Monet's paintings, there are no very clear shadows, and there are no prominent or flattened contours.

In addition, Monet's use of color is also quite delicate, and he uses many paintings with the same theme to experiment with the perfect expression of color and light.

He has long explored the expressive effects of light and air, often depicting the same object multiple times and under different lights, expressing the momentary feeling from the changing colors of natural light.

Monet's artistic career was long, and his peak was quite long, just like his life!

During his lifetime, he created countless works, leaving many immortal masterpieces and great spiritual wealth for the history of world art!

The poppy field near Witteny is Monet's peak work and was painted in 1879 in Argenteuil, on the outskirts of Paris, on the Seine-sur-Seine.

In the near distance is a field of delicate and blooming poppies with several figures, and in the distance gentle hills, woods, lakes, and villages.

At this time, Monet was living a relatively stable life, and the figures in the painting were his wife Camille and their six-year-old son, Jean, who were collecting flowers in the fields, enjoying the sunshine and completely enchanted by nature.

The figures in the painting give a soft, rhythmic movement, but the bright red patches in the painting are the essence of this work, Monet's faithful depiction of the light and color that catches the eye.

Although the shape of these patches has poppy characteristics, they are not concrete.

Some of them overlap, some are placed haphazardly, some are shrunk to show that they are in the back, but the dark, monotonous background accentuates the bright, warm colors.

"Thompson's luck is really good, or it's true that he can even get his hands on this oil painting, it's amazing!"

Ye Tian secretly sighed in his heart, and he was also very envious!

This "Poppy Field near Wetney" is, of course, a stolen work of art, otherwise it wouldn't have been here!

In February 2008, three masked armed robbers ransacked the exhibition hall of the Fondation Bürle in Zurich, Switzerland, and robbed four of the masterpieces that were on display there.

This famous painting by Monet is one of them!

The remaining three paintings are also representative works of top art masters, and each one is worth a lot of money.

They are Cézanne's The Boy in the Red Vest, Edgar Degas's Ludovic Lepic and His Daughter, and Van Gogh's The Blossoming Chestnut Branch.

"The Boy in the Red Vest" is of course not the one Ye Tian sold before, but the seated oil painting of the same model, which is one of the "Boys in the Red Vest" series!

The total value of the four looted paintings was more than $160 million, and the robbery is considered one of the largest art robberies in the world.

But $160 million is only the 2008 estimate!

In recent years, the prices of top artworks have continued to skyrocket, and the total value of these four paintings has now risen to an estimated $500 million!

"I wonder if the other three stolen paintings from the Birler Foundation are also in Thompson's hands?

Ye Tianmei thought about it with a smile, obviously a little long!

Then admiring this masterpiece of Monet for a while, Ye Tiancai shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere.

Now is not the right time, wait for the future to truly own this famous painting, and it is not too late to appreciate it carefully!

At this moment, in his heart, it seems that he has already regarded this famous painting as his own, and he is only temporarily borrowing Thompson to hang it for two days, and he will take it back soon!

While retracting his gaze, he had already secretly decided that when he went back to negotiate with the FBI Art Crime Unit and the Bürle Foundation in Switzerland, he would say that he would also take down this famous painting.

As for the other three famous paintings, if they are also in the hands of Thompson, then try to win another one, if not, then there is no way!

But in any case, this "Poppy Field near Wetney" buddies must be taken, and no one wants to snatch it!

If there's really no other way, buddy doesn't mind playing black and black!

Perspective continues!

Soon, Ye Tian found a pair of special glasses in the desk drawer.

Identical to the glasses Leo used at the previous charity auction, these are special glasses designed to see through camouflage and identify paintings hidden under special pigments.

Thompson, of course, doesn't use it to authenticate paintings, he uses them to admire the two top-notch paintings in the room.

In addition to this pair of glasses, Ye Tian found two more antiques in the prayer area, a pair of French, Rococo-style gilt candlesticks from the mid-nineteenth century.

This pair of candlesticks is supposed to be from the French royal family, and you can see it in the style and craftsmanship!

Although this candlestick also has a certain value, compared to those two top-notch oil paintings, it is not worth mentioning at all! Ye Tian no longer takes this thing seriously!

His gaze swept over the candlesticks and looked elsewhere.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had seen through the entire suite, and no other antique artworks were found.

There was a safe under the bookcase, but there were only some dollars and euros in it, about tens of thousands, and there was no surprise to find, not even a passport!

Thompson definitely has other places to hide, and it's around here!

An international art thief like him must be ready to run away at any time, and there is no doubt that he has a passport with multiple identities, and the passport is definitely within reach!

But Ye Tian doesn't care much about this, he doesn't like to run!

During the perspective process, Ye Tian also saw several pinhole cameras, the positions were very hidden, monitoring the entire room, and there were almost no dead ends!

One is installed in the doorway to come in, hidden in the lamp, condescendingly monitoring the door!

There is also a camera opposite each of the two top-quality paintings, one in a bookshelf and the other in a wall clock, monitoring the two precious paintings.

In addition, there are pinhole cameras in front of the windows of the three rooms, monitoring every place that may invade this suite, which is very well considered!

Needless to say, there must also be hidden pinhole cameras in the hallway, monitoring the corridor and doorway outside!

Anyone who can't fool these pinhole cameras will know about it as soon as he breaks into the room, and he can quickly take precautions.

And it's not just a pinhole camera, behind each of the two paintings, there is also a high-sensitivity sensor, which is so hidden that you can't see it from the front of the painting!

Even if someone had tricked the surveillance and broken into the suite, Thompson would have been alerted as soon as he touched the two paintings.

That is, Ye Tian, who can find these through perspective, and anyone else who breaks into this room may not be able to deceive Thompson's eyes, and there is a good chance that he will know his way!

"It's hard to guard against it! What an old fox, it's just cunning to the extreme! But it's a pity that you're running into a buddy, these things are destined to be deaf ears, just decorations!"

Ye Tian secretly sighed and smiled softly proudly.

But in his heart, he attaches more importance to Thompson's opponent.

The next action must be extremely cautious, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it is very likely that there will be a situation where you are careless and lose the whole game.

This suite was quickly seen through, and the rewards were immense!

Immediately after, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.

After resting for a while and calming down his excitement, Ye Tian looked at the next room again and continued to explore through the perspective.

There was someone in the next room, a clergyman in his fifties reading a book in the study, quietly.

In this suite, Ye Tian didn't find anything valuable, let alone antique art!

In just two or three seconds, he ended his investigation, and then his eyes moved to another room on the first floor, continuing to see-through the investigation.

Ye Tian walked along the east side of the small building from north to south, like a tourist who has a soft spot for ancient buildings, admiring and studying this small building, his expression was very focused, and there was nothing suspicious!

It's a building built in 1723, and there aren't many of them in the whole of America!

And it also has very important historical significance, many people come to admire and study every year, what is suspicious about one more Ye Tian!

It didn't take long for Ye Tian to walk to the south of the small building.

The room and basement on the east side of the small building, he had already finished secretly see-through the investigation, and not a single room had fallen!

However, in the basements on the east side of the building, he didn't find Thompson's private studio!

Obviously, Thompson's studio was in the basements on the west side.

After a pause, Ye Tian walked to the west side of the small building, ready to continue the perspective exploration!
