Since the decision was made on François? The first step was to gather information about him and his private museum, especially where the collection was hidden and how he could get his hands on the painting.

What kind of picture is that?

When Muyang watched the relevant news, he also learned about the painting in detail, which painting Francois? Truffaut claims to be the autograph of Wu Daozi, the saint of Chinese painting, and is a painted painting on silk "Seated Statue of Guanyin".

Who is Wu Daozi, that is the saint of Chinese painting.

Now there are records of Wu Daozi's paintings, one of which is "Sending the Son to the Heavenly King" is collected in the Osaka City Museum of Art in Japan, and is identified as a copy of the Song Dynasty, and there are some murals that have been circulated, but the rest of the paintings are not one, which shows how rare the remains of the painting saint are.

And François? Truffaut's claim that the painting was from the Old Summer Palace and is a royal collection with the seal of Tang Xuanzong, the seal of the Song Dynasty palace, and the seal of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is enough to prove the preciousness and authenticity of the painting.

Many people on the Internet retorted that so far, none of the paintings have been identified as the authentic works of Wu Daozi, except that the murals are mostly facsimiles, a silk copy, preserved from the Tang Dynasty to modern times, how difficult it is, to avoid swords and fires, to avoid insect bites, but also to go through more than a thousand years of wind and frost erosion, it is basically impossible to preserve.

However, some people say that there are not no paintings that have been preserved for thousands of years in history, and it is not necessarily impossible for Wu Daozi's paintings to be preserved.

If this painting is really Wu Daozi's own handwriting, then he will still exist in the world. The only authentic painting of Wu Daozi is definitely a national treasure. Its value is also incalculable.

You must know that the American magazine "Time of China" once spent a year of research and analysis. A column is published with the title of the world's top ten to evaluate the top ten people and things from all walks of life in the world.

Among them, China's Confucius is ranked among the world's top ten celebrities, the Great Wall is ranked among the world's top ten buildings, and Wu Daozi is listed as one of the world's top ten painters. At that time, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Wu Daozi, Rusborn, Rembrandt, Ingres, Cézanne, Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso were among the top ten painters in the world at the same time.

Many of the paintings of European painters can be auctioned for tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, so is it possible that the only authentic work of Wu Daozi will be worth less than the paintings of those Western painters.

There are good people who offer a price code, between $40 million and $60 million. There are even relevant people from major auction companies who have come out to speak, and if they are allowed to operate, this price should be able to reach or even exceed.

And many Chinese feel that this price is low, you know, in 2012, a painting of Qi Baishi was auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 400 million yuan, the only authentic painting of Saint Wu Daozi, how can it not be lower than Qi Baishi's painting price, how can it be hundreds of millions of dollars.

This painted picture of Guanyin on silk is not very large, only 73.4 centimeters high. With a width of 42.8 cm, it is considered a small work, so it is difficult to say how much it is worth.

But it doesn't matter how much. This should be regarded as a peerless cultural relic, at least Muyang thinks so, François? Isn't Truffaut very loud. Wait until I steal your painting out and see you crying and fainting in the toilet.

This is an Internet phrase that Muyang Xinxue has learned. Hehe.

At noon, Muyang left the room. Take a taxi to the Montparnasse mansion on the left bank of the Seine. The Montparnasse Tower is the only modern business building in the heart of Paris, and you read that right, the only one.

Built in 1972, the Montparnasse Tower is the tallest building in Paris with 59 floors and a height of 209 meters, except for the Eiffel Tower, and the only skyscraper in Paris.

Because after he was built, his modern style and his old-fashioned shape did not match the tones of the city of Paris, and people wanted to demolish it because of the long demonstrations that had been held in the building.

So two years later, the French government enacted a law that no skyscrapers could be built in the Paris metropolitan area, so he became the only skyscraper in the metropolitan area of Paris.

And François? Truffaut's museum, on the 50th floor of this building, François? Truffaut once said, "My collections are precious, so I want to protect them and put them in the sky instead of hiding them underground," so he chose to open his museum in the highest commercial building in the city of Paris.

The Montparnasse Tower is a complex business building with shopping malls, various brand stores, hotels, and it is also a tourist attraction in the city of Paris, and you can see the whole of Paris from the top floor platform.

Some joke that this rooftop terrace offers the best view of Paris, as it is the only place in the city where the Montparnasse Tower cannot be seen.

Muyang looks at the time, it's still early, François? Truffaut's private museum doesn't open until 2 p.m. and closes at 5 p.m.

What a stingy guy, because France has strict requirements for the opening of private museums, which are not allowed to charge tickets, and are open to the public at least 4 days a month, and cannot be less than 3 hours each time, François? Truffaut took this request to the extreme.

But today is lucky, it is an open day, which is why Muyang hurriedly checked out and came to the Montparnasse Tower.

So why did he open this museum, firstly, for fame, and secondly, to join the private collectors' club in France.

In that private collectors' club, there are all the top collectors in France, and there are top scholars and professors, celebrities, senior government officials, business tycoons, and they are definitely a top rich circle. Truffaut did well, opening his own private collection, and in the private collectors' club, he was named vice president.

And there is a greater advantage of having this private collection, that is, it is profitable, of course, not with tickets, but can cooperate with major exhibition halls, lease their own collections to them for exhibition, this income is actually very considerable, and can also promote their own collections, let them be known to the world, increase their value.

It is for this reason that if François? If Truffaut wants to sell something that is not very precious, he can use his connections to hype it up and sell it for a high price, such as Chinese porcelain at the Louvre. (To be continued.) )
