Chapter 1332: The Wisher Takes the Bait

In the afternoon, Musée d'Orsay.

Located on the south bank of the Seine, across the river from the Louvre and the Tuileries Gardens, this museum is one of the three great repositories of art in Paris, with a focus on Western art created between 1848 and 1914.

Among them, the impressionist and post-impressionist paintings of the 19th and 20th centuries are the most popular, so they are also called the "temple of impressionist painters".

At this time, Ye Tian and the others were on the third floor of the Musée d'Orsay, in the exhibition hall of the Impressionist School, intoxicated with the impressionist paintings displayed here.

Just like when he visited the Louvre before, Ye Tian admired the top artworks in front of him while whispering explanations to Betty and Anderson.

Created in 1876, the Garret Mill Ball is a representative work of the famous French pre-impressionist painter and Renoir, and is a masterpiece of Renoir's painting skills and experience.

This painting is arguably the most important and famous work of Renoir's life, one of the most important masterpieces of Impressionism, and a treasure of the Musée d'Orsay.

This Impressionist painting is very large, about 130 centimeters high and 175 centimeters wide, the painting is very rich in content, and it was done outdoors in the open air, which is very rare.

It can be seen that this work has a sweet painting style, a leisurely atmosphere, and is full of plump tones, bright and tranquil faces and rich body language wherever the sun goes, which is a classic in the history of painting.

Renoir used the Impressionist painting method to express the large-scale scene and the lively and joyful atmosphere, and the picture shows an open-air café and dance hall in Paris crowded and lively!

The people who participated in the dance were of different shapes, beaming with joy and joy, and the dappled light and shadow on the faces and bodies of the characters in the painting, as well as on the table and the ground, and the changes in light and color were smart and flickering.

This is the full embodiment of Impressionism's high sensitivity to changes in light and color, and in this painting, Renoir shows the main painting techniques of Impressionism vividly and vividly, which is breathtaking!

Let's take a closer look at the painting, which is divided into two different spaces along the edge of the dance floor, where the people inside are dancing and the people outside are chatting freely,......"

Accompanied by Ye Tian's wonderful and professional explanation, Betty and the others focused on admiring the impressionist masterpiece in front of them, and everyone had an intoxicated expression.

Before they knew it, they were immersed in the beauty of the painting, as if they were dancing at an open-air dance party in the 19th-century café on the Montmartre plateau in Paris.

While Ye Tian and the others were admiring the impressionist artworks, Matisse and the others were on high alert, standing behind Ye Tian and them in a fan shape, staring closely at the scene.

Fortunately, this is the Osay Museum, and even if the guys of the 'Pink Panther' are crazy, they probably won't dare to attack here and seek revenge on Ye Tian.

Therefore, during the whole visit, Ye Tian and the others did not encounter any disturbances, enjoying the masterpieces of Impressionism in this museum and swimming in the ocean of art.

It took about three minutes for Ye Tianfang to explain Renoir's masterpiece, "Garret's Mill Ball".

Then they looked at the painting for a while before stepping away to admire another Impressionist painting hanging next to it.

In the following hours, they admired Van Gogh's Self-Portrait, Monet's Blue Water Lilies, Cézanne's Still Life with Shallots, and Gauguin's Two Women on the Beach

In addition to these famous Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, there are also Ingres's Fountains, Gamille Pissarro's The Red Roof of Pontoise, Rodin's White Gates of Hell, and many more.

This is a veritable temple of impressionist art, where top-notch artworks by masters can be seen everywhere, and the artistic trends of the 19th century flow here, full of beauty created in the 19th century!

It wasn't until six o'clock in the afternoon that the Musée d'Orsay closed, and Ye Tian and his family finished their visit, reluctantly walking out of the museum, ready to visit the Champs-Élysées on the other side of the Seine.

Although the Musée d'Orsay is not far from the Champs-Élysées, the current situation is special, and for safety reasons, Ye Tian and the others still gave up the idea of walking there on foot and prepared to go there by car.

Coming out of the Musée d'Orsay, several Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs were already parked on the side of the road in front of the museum, waiting for Ye Tian and them.

Soon, Ye Tian and the others got into the car and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Ye Tian's mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was a call from Benois, the director of the Museum of the Palace of Fontainebleau.

The phone was connected, and Benois's familiar voice was immediately heard.

"Good afternoon, Steven, you should be done with your visit, right? I guess it's almost time, so I'll call you, so as not to disturb your visit to the museum and appreciate the art!"

"Good afternoon, Benois, you are really thoughtful, we have been at the Musée d'Orsay, admiring those impressionist masterpieces, and just came out, we received a call from you.

Do you have any good news for me? Has the Château de Fontainebleau made a decision to exchange its collection of Chinese antiques for jewelry?"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Why did Benois call him, he knew that he must have come for the three top pieces of jewelry that once belonged to Queen Mary.

The truth is just as he expected!

Benois's voice came again, and he listened to it with excitement.

"You guessed it right, Steven, after some deliberation, we have made the decision to accept your quid pro quo of exchange for the few pieces of Queen Mary's jewels in exchange for the collection of Chinese antique artefacts.

Of course, there are certain restrictions on this art transaction, and the transaction must be fair and transparent, and our Fontainebleau Palace is not a big deal, let you crazy guy loot it!

As far as I know, the Louvre and the Musée Guimet have also nodded yes and are willing to exchange their collections of Chinese antiques for those top-notch jewelry, I wonder which museum you will choose to trade?"

"Since it's a deal, of course, it's important to be open and transparent, to make sure that both parties can get what they want and both can benefit from it, that's the way to do business, and everyone is happy.

This transaction must be based on the market value of the subject matter, and as for the market value of those antique artworks, you and I are very clear, and there are no secrets to speak of.

You're right, the Benois, the Louvre, and the Musée Guimet have indeed nodded yes and are ready to trade their collections of Chinese antiques for those jewelry!

But I didn't decide whether to trade with them or not, I waited for news from your Château de Fontainebleau, and sure enough, I was waiting for the good news.

I am a professional treasure hunter and a businessman, and it goes without saying that maximizing profits is my goal, and I will definitely choose the trading plan that is most beneficial to me.

Before trading, I will carefully compare the chips you both come up with, and if the chips of that one can make me feel excited, I will choose that one, and I believe you will understand my choice!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, showing his fangs, ready to loot the French.

Hearing this, Benois immediately fell silent.

After a pause, the Frenchman gritted his back molars and said angrily:

"Steven, you are the most greedy bastard I've ever met, and you're so dark that you want to ransack us, but you're saying it so high-sounding!

Who let Queen Mary's top jewels in your hands, and we really want to collect those treasures, it seems that you can only be ransacked by this guy.

When are you coming to the Château de Fontainebleau?pick up Chinese antiques for trading, and if you can, I hope you will come to our museum as soon as possible, we are very welcome!"

"I won't let you wait for a few days, I will inform you before I go, to be honest, I am very much looking forward to the trip to the Palace of Fontainebleau, and even more to seeing your collection of Chinese antiques!

Those Chinese antique artworks from the Old Summer Palace, the 'Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens', have been in a foreign country for more than 100 years, and I would be very honored if I could exchange them and send them back to China!"

Ye Tian gave an ambiguous answer, and sighed a few words by the way.

"Alright then, Steven, I'm looking forward to receiving a call from you, and I'm looking forward to closing this antique art deal!

After saying goodbye, Benois hung up.

This old guy is obviously a chicken thief, and he doesn't want to talk more about the origin of the many Chinese antiques and works of art in the palace of Fontainebleau, and he knows the loss!

At the same time, Ye Tian and his convoy had already crossed the road bridge over the Seine River and drove into the Place de la Concorde, bypassing the Place de la Concorde, which is the famous Champs-Élysées!
