"This landscape painting is so beautiful, no wonder Ye Tian said that this is a top-notch work of art, it deserves its name!"

"I don't know which artist in the West is the work of this artist, but the artist who can create such a painting must be a top artist with a great reputation."

Everyone gradually came to their senses, and the banquet hall immediately resounded with a lot of discussion.

And the professionals in the banquet hall all had their eyes shining, staring at the painting on the display shelf, their eyes were extremely hot, and even a little greedy!

"Ye Tian, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a landscape painting of the French Barbizon School in the nineteenth century, the artist who created this painting is not Rousseau?"

Mr. Liu, who was sitting in the audience, asked loudly, his tone quite excited.

While asking loudly, his eyes were always fixed on the landscape oil painting on the stage, and his gaze never shifted for a moment.

It was clear that he had been deeply moved by this magnificent landscape painting, and he wanted to acquire this top work of art.

However, the bidding method of this charity auction made him scratch his head, even if he had the money and was willing to spend money, he might not be able to win the painting as he wished.

As soon as his words fell, the manager of Poly Auction House, who was sitting at a dining table not far away, said:

"That's right, I look like a Rousseau painting, and in the Barbizon school, only Rousseau can paint such a magnificent landscape, and with a hint of romanticism"

Hearing their words, Ye Tian, who was standing next to the landscape oil painting, nodded slightly, and then said with a smile:

"Your eyes are very sharp, yes, this is a landscape oil painting by Theodor Rousseau, the famous French painter of the 19th century, the top master of art, and the leading figure of the Barbizon School.

Created at the height of Rousseau's career, this oil painting was created at the same time as his most famous masterpiece, The Evening of Fontainebleau, and is a priceless work of art.

As for the landscape, it is taken from a plain in the lower Seine, not too far from the forest of Fontainebleau, which has ceased to exist after more than a hundred years.

I was a little reluctant to put this painting up for auction, but fortunately, I had another Rousseau work and a few Barbizon landscape paintings, so I couldn't bear to cut my love!"

Although many people have already guessed this result, listening to Ye Tian personally say it and explain that this painting is the work of Rousseau at the peak of his artistic career, many professionals on the scene were still shocked!

"I'll go! Sure enough, it's a painting by the master Rousseau, and it's his peak work, so there's no doubt that this landscape oil painting must be priceless!"

"Rousseau's peak paintings, Ye Tian's heart is really too big, such a top artwork is willing to be auctioned, and it is a public auction, this has to be replaced by others, who can be willing to do it?"

Unlike these professionals, most of the non-professionals in the audience did not know Rousseau, and even confused the top artist with the famous Enlightenment thinker.

"Wasn't Rousseau the French thinker and philosopher of the eighteenth century Enlightenment, and when did he become a master of art and travel to nineteenth-century France?"

"Obviously, this Rousseau is not Rousseau, the foreigner's name is like this, there are too many duplicate names, such as the name 'Jean', it is estimated that one-third of the men in France have this name"

The reactions of everyone in the audience were all seen by Ye Tian.

Just when everyone was talking, he suddenly raised his hands and pressed them down slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

As he moved, the scene soon fell silent, and everyone looked at him and looked forward to his explanation.

The next moment, Ye Tian said loudly with a smile on his face:

"There are a lot of non-specialists here, some of whom may not know about the Barbizon School and about Rousseau, the master who created this landscape painting, and I think it's necessary to introduce it here.

First of all, it should be emphasized that this top master of art Rousseau is Theodor Rousseau, not the French eighteenth-century Enlightenment thinker Rousseau, nor the famous French post-impressionist painter Rousseau.

The famous Barbizon School refers to a group of French landscape painters who lived and painted between 1830 and 1880 in the town of Barbizon, near the forest of Fontainebleau.

They formed an informal school of art, or a group of artists, the Barbizon School, who were the first painters to sketch nature rather than create landscapes in their studios.

The Barbizon School's creative attitude, as well as their realistic portrayal of pastoral scenes and people, influenced the later Impressionist painting style, which is also known as the source of the Impressionist spirit in the Western art world.

The master Theodore Rousseau is the leader of the Barbizon School and one of the most outstanding representatives of the Barbizon School, and has an extremely important position in the history of Western art.

Rousseau's insistence on objectivity, his landscapes are known for their intense colors, bold brushstrokes, and unique subject matter, and a sense of grandeur is always present when you look at his paintings.

Combining realism with romanticism, he was known as the 'Delacroix of landscape painters' because he was keen to give nature a sense of magnificence and to reflect the diversity of landscapes.

This is a master artist with the temperament of a poet, who uses color to depict the vitality of nature, and the so-called nature here is not just the mountains and rivers, nor is it just the clouds in the sky.

Rousseau's nature, including all living and non-living things in nature, is an uninhibited nature, and he uses a spiritual realm to express and celebrate the potential vitality of the universe,......"

Next, Ye Tian combined the landscape painting on the display shelf to briefly introduce the Barbizon School, Rousseau, the art master, to everyone on the scene, and explain the painting.

Listening to his vivid and professional explanation, everyone at the scene was unconsciously immersed in it, and was brought into the artistic conception created by this painting and wandered in the magnificent scenery.

It took about three or five minutes for Ye Tianfang to finish explaining.

Then he turned and walked towards the auction table, ready to start this final auction.

Everyone at the scene also came to their senses, and they all looked at him and the painting on the display shelf, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.

Standing still after coming to the auction, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the audience, and then opened the curtain of the last auction.

The next moment, his clear voice came from the stage.

"I won't say much about this landscape painting by Rousseau, but like all the antique artworks that have been auctioned before, I can endorse the authenticity of this painting.

In other words, if you take a picture of this painting, go back for authentication, and have doubts about the authenticity of this painting, then send this painting back to me, and I will take it back at the original auction price.

Speaking of gossip, the auction starts now, and like the previous 29 antique artworks, the starting price of this top-notch artwork is also one yuan or one yuan.

Before the words fell, someone in the audience couldn't wait to raise their arms and shouted excitedly:

"Here, Ye Tian, I'll make the price"

It was an auction house manager who asked for the price, and he seemed a little impatient.

But this is just the beginning, and the competition has just begun.

Ye Tianchong, the manager of the auction house, nodded slightly, and then said with a smile:

"Okay, Jiuge's Mr. Yuan should be priced at one yuan, thank you for your support, now enter the second round, the second round of quotation is 10 million yuan, which buyer should be the price?

The first moment this offer was released, the banquet hall was fried on the spot.

"Isn't it? Is there something wrong with my ears? One second ago, it was still one yuan, and in a blink of an eye, it jumped to 10 million yuan, which is really exaggerated!"

"The second round is 10 million yuan, and the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of free bidding will have what kind of astonishing sky-high prices will occur, I can't imagine it!"

Without exception, many non-professionals at the scene were shocked by Ye Tian's offer, and they were dumbfounded and exclaimed.

However, where is this going, and what shocks everyone is still to come.

In the blink of an eye, the first four rounds of routine bidding have ended, and the fifth round of free bidding has arrived.

At this time, the price of this landscape oil painting by the artist Rousseau has come to 150 million yuan, a jaw-dropping sky-high price.

When Ye Tian quoted this price loudly, and someone raised his hand to answer the price without hesitation, those non-professionals who were at the scene suddenly seemed to have been immobilized, and they were all stunned in place!

Before they could come to their senses, free bidding began.

The next moment, they heard a series of astonishing quotations of '198.5 million, 200.5 million, 245 million yuan、...... and one after another, and the voice of each quotation was extremely firm!

The sound of these quotations, like matches thrown into a powder magazine, instantly detonated this luxurious banquet hall.
