Chapter 538 Polish National Treasure (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation)

On the wall in front of me, there are more than 20 paintings of various types, different artistic styles, and different sizes!

The same is true on both sides and on the walls next to the warehouse door behind them, which have been completely occupied by all kinds of paintings, and they are hung to the brim, leaving no gaps!

There are also four rows of steel shelves about ten meters long and three meters high standing on the ground in the room, which look very sturdy, and on both sides of these shelves, there are also many paintings, and there are quite a few of them.

The floor was clean, there were no paintings standing against the wall, all the paintings were hung!

This kind of display is very scientific, coupled with the constant temperature and humidity of the internal environment, can very well protect many paintings from unnecessary damage.

Obviously, the old fellow Thompson put a lot of thought into it, and that's worth affirming!

After all, he has quite a lot of artistic taste, and as a painter himself, he is not at all comparable to the other fools and thieves who steal art, and his rank is more than one level higher!

Many of the paintings in front of me are of different textures, some on paper, some on canvas, some on wood, and other kinds of materials.

There are also different types of paintings, including oil paintings, sketches, prints, drawings, and even a few traditional Chinese ink landscapes!

The most important thing is oil painting on canvas, which is the mainstream of the Western art market, and it is normal! The constant temperature and humidity environment is specially designed for oil painting, which is the most suitable environment for oil painting to display and preserve!

There are many artistic styles, such as Renaissance, Baroque, classical realism, impressionism, post-impressionism, cubism, abstraction, magical realism, etc., which are dazzling and colorful!

The age of creation is very different, there are paintings in almost every century within a thousand years, and Ye Tian's eyes shine with yellow, orange, red, and white lights, which are extremely beautiful!

In his eyes, the most frequent colors are red and white, which account for almost half of them, indicating that the warehouse has the largest number of paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Of course, there are also some such paintings, which do not radiate dazzling light, and they are all modern works of art from the past fifty years.

There are many paintings here, each one different, showing a different beauty, each with its own merits!

In Ye Tian's eyes, each painting had a charming halo of ten or twenty layers, full of temptation! There were even a few paintings with more halo layers.

It can be seen that all the paintings here are top works of art!

Of course, Ye Tian and Matisse value the market value they value the most is also extraordinary!

In addition to the many paintings of various genres, there are also many valuable antiques here.

In the middle of the warehouse, there is a large modular shelf on the left and right sides, which is similar to the Duobao Pavilion in traditional Chinese furniture.

Assembled from an angle iron frame and three-centimeter-thick wooden planks, the two shelves look aesthetically unpleasing, but they are very sturdy and functional.

On the shelves, there are not all kinds of paintings, but a lot of antiques.

There are fine porcelain from China, classical sculptures from Europe, artifacts from ancient Egypt, and Native American artifacts!

Compared to many paintings, these antiques are even older!

The far ones have a history of five or six thousand years, and the near ones have three or four hundred years, and Ye Tian's eyes are shining with all kinds of beautiful light, and he is a little dizzy.

In addition to the dazzling light emitted by each antique, there are many layers of enchanting halos, which are also full of seduction and heart-warming!

Obviously, the vast majority of antiques on the shelves have extraordinary artistic value, as well as a lot of market value.

Ye Tian strode along the middle passage, admiring the antique artworks on the walls and shelves on both sides, his eyes were full of intoxication and smugness!

In the blink of an eye, he had reached the end of the passage, then stopped, raised his head slightly, and began to admire a portrait of a person on the wall in front of him!

In his eyes, this portrait radiates a dazzling orange light, and it is extremely beautiful!

Judging by the intensity of the light emitted by the paintings, it is possible to accurately determine the age of their creation.

This is a classical masterpiece from the 16th century! The painting technique is superb, and the light and figures on the painting give people a sense of tranquility, coordination, and harmony!

Beyond the dazzling orange light, the more than twenty layers of enchanting light illustrate this with great accuracy!

This is a top-notch oil painting, made by the hands of the top painting masters, with extraordinary artistic value and extraordinary market value!

No matter in any large museum in the world, this top artwork can become a treasure of the museum, and it is also a national treasure of the country where it is located, there is no doubt about it!

This Renaissance-style classical oil painting alone is enough to make the Met and MOMA go crazy with envy, not to mention that there are many more top-notch antique artworks here!

The position where this portrait is hung is facing the gate of the warehouse, the view is very good, Ye Tian saw it as soon as he entered the warehouse, it is difficult to ignore it!

The moment he saw this oil painting, his eyes were firmly attracted, and he was shocked that this oil painting appeared here!

After the shock, he quickly made the decision to make this top-notch oil painting the first target of the video material.

Ye Tian knew this top-level oil painting, and he was quite familiar with it.

Not only him, but anyone who has studied a little bit of Western art history basically knows this famous painting!

This is a portrait of a classical figure, the name is "Portrait of a Young Man", the creator of this oil painting is the famous Italian painter, one of the three masterpieces of Renaissance art!

Raphael, one of the most outstanding Italian painters, is known as the three masters of Renaissance art along with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, and is the youngest of them.

His works have drawn on the strengths of many families and formed his own unique style, representing the most admired aesthetic taste of the people at that time, and becoming an unattainable model for later classicist artists.

In the history of Western art, Raphael's status is very high, his art is respected by later generations as 'classical art', and his works are respected as 'creative models' and enjoy a high reputation.

His Sistine Madonna is highly regarded as an artistic masterpiece comparable to the Mona Lisa, and is a rare treasure in the treasure house of human culture and art.

The classicist oil on canvas painting in front of him is one of Raphael's masterpieces, and the portrait of the young man on the painting is said to be Raphael himself.

With a thin and fair face, long flowing hair, a peaceful and elegant temperament, and a slightly melancholy look, from these aspects, he is indeed very similar to Raphael himself!

Until World War II, this famous painting was kept in the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow, Poland, for people to admire and admire, and is one of Poland's most important national treasures.

It wasn't until 1939, when World War II broke out and Germany invaded Poland that this top-notch painting fell into the hands of the SS and was taken to Berlin by the Gestapo to decorate Hitler's official residence.

In 1945, Hans Frank, a high-ranking Nazi official, found the painting in the Führer's collection and brought it to the Royal Wawel Castle.

Since then, the painting has never been seen again, and it has completely disappeared!

During the Second World War, Poland lost countless precious works of art, and this famous painting by Raphael is one of the most important.

In the years that followed, the Chartoryski family tried many times to find this top painting, but found nothing, and had no way of knowing who it belonged to.

Not only are the Chartoryski family searching for this famous painting, but the Polish government has also been sparing no effort to search for these lost artifacts and works of art all over the world!

Once found, they will try to recover these lost artifacts or works of art from collectors, museums, and even Nazi descendants around the world, at great cost!

This top-notch oil painting from Raphael was undoubtedly the most important target of the Polish government's search.

But who would have thought that this top famous painting would actually fall into the hands of Thompson in Boston, and be hidden in such an extremely secret underground warehouse.

"The painting is amazing! It is worthy of being one of the three masters of Renaissance art, and it is worthy of its name!"

Ye Tian whispered a few words of praise, and then ended the short appreciation process.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his mobile phone and began to take pictures of this top oil painting, giving the most accurate appraisal conclusion.

"What you see is a famous classicist oil painting, one of the three masterpieces of Italian Renaissance art, one of the representative works of the famous painter Raphael Sansi, "Portrait of a Young Man".

This portrait of a classical figure, created between 1513 and 1514, at the height of Raphael's career, depicts the young man who is said to be Raphael himself.

Based on my research and appraisal of this painting, I can say with absolute certainty that this is Raphael's original, the top work of art that thrilled Hitler's heart, and it is priceless!

Since its disappearance in 1945, this famous painting has never been seen again, and there is no trace of it!

Of course, this is also my luck, I am very honored to have discovered this famous painting and bring it back to the public eye, so that it can see the light of day and bring everyone a beautiful enjoyment......"

Ye Tian introduced this famous painting while shooting, which was very professional!

He not only photographed the painting as a whole, but also brought the mobile phone camera close to the oil painting, and brought a few local close-ups, leaving more and more powerful visual evidence.

Soon, the video of the painting was filmed, and the results were read out.

Afterwards, Ye Tian took a few more glances at this top-level famous painting, and then reluctantly looked away and looked at another famous painting next to him.
