Chapter 893: The preview begins

While Ye Tian stretched out his hand to gesture, the two outermost Forbidden City cultural museum personnel on the right side of the exhibition area carefully put away a screen, revealing an ancient painting hanging on the display shelf behind them.

This is a vertical scroll ancient painting, ink landscape on paper, the mountains and colors in the picture are empty, the lake is rippling, and the beautiful and moving scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is fascinating.

On the wide lake, three or four water chestnut girls shuttle back and forth in small boats, constantly picking water chestnuts from the calm lake water, which is very vivid, but also quiet and peaceful.

On the hillside near the picture, there are three or four weeping willows, as well as a few dead trees, and from the sparse branches and leaves of the trunks, it can be seen that this is the time of late autumn.

In the distance is a mountain, not as tall and steep as the northern peaks, but undulating and continuous, revealing a bit of the spirit of the south of the Yangtze River.

Between the trees at the foot of the mountain, you can vaguely see several villages, small bridges and flowing water, like a paradise.

The whole painting is dyed with ochre, quite autumnal, with a fine brush, the mountain stone with a long hemp technique, the wicker droops, the end is subtle, very Zhao Mengfu's "Quehua Autumn Color" taste.

In the upper right part of this painting, there is a blank space, inscribed with a 'full moon word', the calligraphy is very wonderful, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, self-contained, and the end of the word is the signature and seal of the painter.

Without a doubt, this is a masterpiece and definitely worth a lot of money!

The moment they saw this ink landscape, the eyes of many people at the scene suddenly lit up, and the ecstatic expressions quickly appeared on everyone's faces.

Although the distance is a little farther, under the lens of the high-definition camera and on the big screen behind the exhibition area, this ink landscape is completely presented in front of everyone's eyes, which is extremely clear!

It can be seen from everyone's reactions and expressions that many people at the scene recognized this ancient painting and knew its origin.

"I'm going! It's this painting, it's so surprising! Ye Tian, this kid has all his hands and eyes! How did he get this painting? It's incredible!"

"Who knows! Not to mention this ancient painting, even if he takes out Yan Liben's "Picture of the Emperors of the Past Dynasties", I won't be surprised! This is an all-powerful guy!"

In the midst of the discussion, Ye Tian's voice came into everyone's ears again, and he sounded quite proud.

"This is the first antique painting and calligraphy work on display in today's preview exhibition!

All of you present are the predecessors of the antique shop, and your eyesight must not be said, it is absolutely extremely sharp! I believe that many people have recognized this ancient painting!

That's right, this is the painting of Shen Zhou, a master of painting in the Ming Dynasty, the founder of the Wumen School of Painting, and one of the four Ming families, which was created when he was forty years old.

Let's take a closer look at the 'full moon word' in the upper right part of the painting, and the end of the word unmistakably reads Ishida Sheng's title, Ishida is Shen Zhou's middle-aged number, everyone knows!

In addition, the red seal is also from Shen Zhou, there is no doubt about it! We can see this seal on many paintings of Shen Zhou during this period, and it is very easy to verify!"

Before he said this, everyone at the scene had already given a positive response, and they were very enthusiastic.

"Of course, this "Cai Ling Tu" is a top-notch work of art, it is Shen Zhou, one of the famous Ming Four Families, and the leader of the Wumen School of Painting!"

"Although this painting has not been in China before, there are not a few people who have admired this painting, and there are several of them who have personally identified this ancient painting, can you not know it?

Judging from the big screen, all the details of this "Cai Ling Map" on the display shelf are in line with everyone's cognition, and it is very likely to be the original painting, of course, this needs to be further identified!"

"Ye Tian, you kid is so amazing, how did you get this ancient painting? Hurry up and tell me, everyone wants to hear the story in it, why don't we have such good luck!"

The exhibition hall was full of discussions, and it was very lively.

While reveling in the admiration of this ancient painting, everyone's eyes looking at Ye Tian were also full of envy, even jealousy!

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Regarding the authenticity of this Shen Zhou's "Cai Ling Tu", you can rest assured, I can say with great certainty that this is 100% Shen Zhou's original work, there is no doubt!

This painting has been kept in the Tokyo National Museum in Japan, and it is one of the museum's fine collections of Chinese paintings and calligraphy, and the reason for the loss overseas is very clear to everyone.

During a treasure hunt in Boston, I found two paintings by a famous Japanese painter, and it was with those two ancient Japanese paintings that I exchanged them for this "Picking Rhombus Drawing".

In the same batch, there are several other ancient paintings, as you will see later, the other party to this transaction is the Tokyo National Museum in Japan, the source is legal and well-documented!

Of course, Japanese devils may not be trustworthy! In order to avoid being cheated by those devils, the first time I received these ancient paintings, I made a very meticulous and comprehensive scientific appraisal!

The appraisal results are very certain, these ancient paintings are all genuine, from the hands of several ancient Chinese art masters, the artistic value is extraordinary, and the market value is also quite expensive!

Later, you can come up and appreciate and appraise it yourself, and make a choice to decide whether to shoot tomorrow and beat other competitors to take this famous painting!"

Before the words fell, someone at the scene had already asked impatiently and loudly:

"Xiao Ye, reveal the approximate price of this "Cai Ling Tu"! It also makes us mentally prepared, to be honest, I like this ancient painting very much, and I really want to take it!"

The person who asked out loud was an entrepreneur from Zhejiang, a billionaire, and a frequent visitor on the Forbes list!

The picture depicted in this "Cai Ling Tu" is the scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River with lakes and mountains, which is extremely beautiful, and it instantly aroused a strong resonance with the billionaire, so there is this question.

Ye Tian raised his eyes to look at the billionaire, and then said with a smile:

"Mr. Cao, your vision is great! This is a top work of art, very worthy of collection, not only can enhance the taste, but also a very good investment!

But I'm sorry, I can't tell you the starting price for this painting! Don't worry, you'll know the exact starting price when the auction starts tomorrow, and it's definitely within your reach.

In today's preview, we only appreciate these antique artworks and feel the charm of traditional culture, which is the most beautiful thing.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.

"It's too bad to talk about money? I heard you right? Xiao Ye, haven't you always been known for being ruthless and fierce at auctions? When did you become so high?"

"That's right, with your kid's way of acting, I'm afraid you've already sharpened your knives and are ready to kill the killer and slaughter all of us, right?"

Everyone at the scene joked and said, directly lifting Ye Tian's old bottom.

That being said, I also knew that the kid on the stage would not spare everyone, but everyone present was full of fighting spirit and confidence at this time, and was ready for a crazy fight!

The first painting is Shen Zhou of the Ming Dynasty, God knows what earth-shattering treasures will appear next! Don't think about it, it must be a priceless national treasure-level antique artwork.

With so many top-notch antiques and artworks piled up, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Who wants to miss it? Who wants to miss it? Unless their brains are squeezed by the door!

What is money compared to top-notch antique art? It's just a set of numbers lying on your bank account! Anything beyond a certain amount has no meaning!

After a few jokes, Ye Tian began to introduce the second antique artwork.

This time it is a calligraphy work, medium in size, by the famous calligrapher Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Mengfu, a famous calligrapher, painter and poet in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, the eleventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the greatest and most famous calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty, created the original "Zhao Ti" and became one of the "Four Masters of Regular Script".

As expected, as soon as this Zhao Mengfu calligraphy work appeared, before Ye Tian began to explain, the scene was already completely boiling, and the exclamations rang out.

Especially those who study ancient calligraphy works, antique art experts, and collectors who prefer calligraphy, their eyes are about to explode!
