The deal was completed quickly, and the money was both gone.

After receiving the confirmation text message from the bank, Desmond immediately said curiously:

"Steven, can you explain this landscape painting? Why didn't you hesitate to buy it? Is this painting a top-notch work of art, and I'm blindsided?"

You've seen more than me, and this is the work of that famous artist? How much is it worth? I'd love to know the answers to these questions, so as not to get confused."

Ye Tian didn't answer immediately, but gently took the landscape oil painting from the display wall, held it in his hand and admired it again.

After a moment, he turned to look at Desmond who was standing next to him, then smiled and nodded:

"Desmond, for this classical landscape painting, I have my own appraisal conclusions, which are not the same as yours, but whether my appraisal conclusions are correct or not needs to be further verified.

In view of this, I will not explain the specific details of this classical landscape oil painting, here, I will only talk about the appraisal conclusion, you can listen to it, don't take it too seriously!"

"Okay, Steven, I'm listening"

Desmond nodded, his face pale as paper.

At this time, he was very sure that he had taken the treasure and been ransacked by the terrible guy in front of him, and he had not escaped the bad luck after all.

Is it possible to see if the conclusion of the appraisal is correct or not? When did you greedy guy look at it? Never, and this time will not be an exception!

Ye Tian looked at the landscape oil painting in his hand again, and then said his appraisal conclusion.

"Desmond, you have a very accurate date of the creation of this landscape painting, it seems to me that it was created in the early nineteenth century, around 1820 to be exact.

But you have misidentified the creator of this landscape painting, and the artist who created this painting is not an unknown person, but William Turner, who is known as the 'great genius'.

William Turner was one of the most famous landscape painters of the 19th century, one of Britain's most famous and skilled artists, and one of the most outstanding landscape painters in the history of Western art

As you just said, the style of this painting is like that of the famous French landscape painter Lorrain in the 17th century and the famous English landscape painter William Turner in the 19th century.

This paradoxical style often affects the value of a work of art, but this is not the case in this painting, for the simple reason that William Turner was an ardent admirer of Lorraine.

In the early years of William Turner's career, he imitated Lorraine's painting style, and this is one of his works, others such as "The Thames of Huiqiao", "The Thames of Windsor", and so on.

It is not surprising that the Venetian landscape that appears in this painting is not surprising, as in 1819 William Turner made his first trip to Italy, where he studied painting and interacted with local artists.

Venice is a famous art city, especially in the art of painting, which has been important since the Renaissance, how could William Turner not go to Venice?

But, for some reason, he didn't create too many Venetian landscapes, which seems to be the only one so far, and perhaps that's why it gives you the illusion.

Going back to the style of painting, if you take a closer look at another famous painting by William Turner from the same period, "View of Rome from the Vatican", you will see that there are many similarities between the two,......

Ye Tian continued to explain, but Desmond was completely dumbfounded, muttering to himself in despair.

"Oh my God! This is an early work by William Turner, what am I missing? God, why are you playing such a joke on me?"

At this time, Desmond was about to die in distress, and he regretted that he wanted to jump the Thames.

He did not have the slightest doubt about the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, knowing that it was the truth.

There is no doubt that this classical landscape painting is 100 percent the work of William Turner, and it is of great significance at a time when William Turner's style of painting was undergoing a major transformation.

With William Turner's high reputation in the history of Western art and in the United Kingdom, this early work of his is definitely a top-notch work of art worth at least millions of euros, if not more!

At the thought of this, Desmond was so grief-stricken that he was about to cry out in pain, and his eyes were blood-red!

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian also stopped talking and did not continue to explain.

He was really a little worried, the Englishman in front of him couldn't bear the blow, and the grief was too much to cause a heart attack, and he fell to the ground, which was not fun!

The gallery fell silent, and all that was left was the sound of Desmond's rapid breathing, panting like a leaking bellows.

David and the others came to Ye Tian's side, admiring the landscape oil painting with great interest, and everyone's eyes were full of envy.

Outside the gallery, the many media reporters who had been stopped by the London police, the antique dealers and gallery owners who did business at Portebello Market, and all sorts of other people, looked curiously at the gallery doors.

Each of them was speculating, whispering to their friends, what Steven had found in this gallery and hadn't come out for so long.

Judging from this situation, the lucky bastard must have found something again, and as for what exactly he found, everyone does not know, and can only guess.

Inside the gallery, it's still very quiet.

It took a long time for Desmond to come to his senses, and there was a hint of blood on his pale face.

Just as he turned his head and looked at Ye Tian with a gaze full of pleading, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"You don't have to be too depressed, you don't have to be grief-stricken, Desmond, in addition to this landscape painting by William Turner, you have two paintings of great value in this gallery."

"There are two other paintings here that are worth a lot of money? Did I hear you right? Steven, what are they? Can you point me out, which artist are they and how much are they worth?"

Desmond asked excitedly, and the whole person came to life in an instant, and his two eyes were like searchlights, radiating dazzling light.

Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, and stretched out his hand to point to another painting hanging not far away.

"You heard you right, Desmond, you do have two paintings of great value here, and the very small portrait next to it is one of them.

If I'm not mistaken, the portrait is the work of the famous 19th-century British painter, George Hicks, and it is unknown who the girl is.

But it's not hard to find, and the people who can afford to paint portraits of George Hicks are not unknowns, and if you pay attention, I'm sure you'll find out soon.

This is supposed to be a work made by George Hicks in his middle age, and according to current market conditions, it should be worth between one and a half million euros."

"Wow! George Hicks' portraits are incredible!"

Desmond muttered to himself, his whole being completely overwhelmed by the great ecstasy, and his feet were like stepping on clouds, light and soft, and he could hardly stand.

Ye Tian turned his head to look at this guy, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a landscape painting hanging on the other display wall.

"It was clearly a more realistic landscape painting than a portrait of George Hicks, and I am almost certain that it was the work of John Constable, the most famous British landscape painter of the early nineteenth century.

In the history of Western art and in the British art world, Constance is on a par with Turner, a fellow of the Royal Academy of Arts, and is also known as the greatest British landscape painter of the 19th century.

The landscape depicts a rural view of England, with a fresh, lively, emotional, bright, natural and rustic atmosphere, and I estimate that it should have been created around 1802.

To be honest, when I found out that there were landscape paintings by John Constance and William Turner hanging in this gallery, I couldn't believe it and wanted to take both of these top works of art!

I didn't want to let go of that portrait of George Hicks, but I promised you when I first entered the gallery that I wouldn't break my promise, so I only chose Turner's painting, and I personally prefer that painting."

Desmond was completely stupid, his eyes were wide, his eyeballs were about to fly out, his body was trembling slightly, his excitement was almost crazy, and he had even lost the ability to speak.

"Alright, Desmond, the deal is done, it's time for us to leave, it's nice to meet you, say hello to your wife Molly Jones on my behalf, and enjoy the day!"

Ye Tian said with a smile and gently patted Desmond's shoulder.

As he moved, Desmond immediately woke up.

The next moment, there was an ecstatic cheer from this gallery, which startled all Ye Tian and the others, as well as everyone outside the gallery.
