Chapter 1390 applauds romance
After a brief celebration of Gauguin's painting, "Suzanne at the Dance", Ye Tian began to carefully take the painting and remove this top-notch work of art from the walnut back.
At the same time as he took the painting, the whole Barbizon village had become a complete sensation, and even because of the appearance of this painting, the entire Parisian antique art field had a lot of shock.
The news of the appearance of this top-notch oil painting was not spread by Betty and the others, but leaked by the clerk under Albert!
That guy not only spread the news, but also spread the valuation given by Ye Tian, the outlook for the auction price, and the photo of this painting.
For this kind of thing, Ye Tianle saw it happening, and did not stop it, nor did he ask anyone to keep it secret.
In this way, everyone will know that the process by which he obtained this Gauguin masterpiece, and no one can question the legitimacy of his ownership of this oil painting, which will save a lot of trouble!
In addition, it can also create momentum for this Gauguin masterpiece that has never appeared before, and raise its influence and value, how could Ye Tian refuse such a good thing?
A few minutes later, Ye Tian took down "Dancing Susanna" from the back panel, and then took it in his hand and admired it again, looking intoxicated!
Immediately afterwards, he used the white cloth he had taken off earlier to separate Susanna's oil painting from Gauguin's masterpiece, stacked the two oil paintings on top of each other, gently rolled them up, and put them into a telescopic painting tube!
As for the dismantled picture frame, he cleaned it up, put it into two boxes, and later moved it to the rear trunk of the Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUV parked outside!
Looking at Ye Tian's series of actions, Albert's heart was dripping blood!
However, he couldn't do anything, he could only stand to the side and watch, and it was a little difficult to even stand, and his legs were trembling!
After cleaning up, Ye Tian and the others walked around the small gallery again, admiring the other paintings hanging on the walls and display shelves.
There are also a few good oil paintings here, but these oil paintings are all on the bright side, Ye Tian can see it, and Albert also knows it, and there is no chance of missing anything!
Besides, Albert had already become a frightened bird at this time, and he also hated Ye Tian to death, and if he wanted to buy any paintings, it would be difficult to compare to the sky!
What's more, except for the few oil paintings on the surface, there are no artworks in this gallery that make Ye Tian's heart move, and there are no hidden secrets!
After admiring the artworks displayed in the gallery, Ye Tian walked up to Albert and was ready to shake hands with the Frenchman and say goodbye!
"Monsieur Albert, what a wonderful day! Of course, this is for me, but not for you, and I am very sorry that I am going to take this masterpiece of Gauguin!
I know that you must be in a very depressed mood at this time, and even grit your teeth with hatred, but you don't have to, this "Dancing Susanna" obviously has nothing to do with you, otherwise you would have discovered it a long time ago!
Even if I hadn't been here today, if I hadn't bought this painting of Susanna, if I hadn't discovered the Gauguin masterpiece hidden underneath, this painting would have fallen into the hands of someone else, sooner or later!
No one can deny this! If Suzanne's oil painting is bought by someone else, God knows when the Gauguin painting hidden underneath will be published, and it may even be completely buried!
You don't want to see that outcome, so you don't have to regret that you're missing out on a priceless piece of art, and that's no accident!"
Albert knew in his heart that Ye Tian's words were reasonable and impeccable!
However, how awkward he listened to these words, he wanted to vomit blood in a depressed way, and even wanted to punch the bastard in front of him, smash the triumphant smile, and vent his evil anger to relieve the hatred in his heart!
All good things should fall into the hands of you bastard, and we deserve to be ransacked!
After forcibly suppressing the boiling anger and the urge to swing his fist, Albert stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Ye Tian, and said with a wry smile:
"Steven, you guy is not only sharp-eyed, extremely lucky! This mouth is also extremely sharp, the truth of the world seems to be occupied by you guy, today I can be regarded as an eye-opener, admire!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the gallery, and Betty and the others all laughed.
At the same time, each of them nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with Albert's statement.
When the laughter fell slightly, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Alright, Monsieur Albert, we're going to take our leave, and again, it's a pleasure to meet you today, and thank you very much for this gallery that has surprised me so much!
If you go to New York in the future, you can contact me and let me enjoy the friendship of landlords! There are several galleries and antique shops in Barbizon, and maybe there are huge surprises waiting for me!"
"Steven, you are one of the most greedy and fortunate people I have ever met, and you are not satisfied with a Gauguin masterpiece, and you even want to ransack other galleries and antique shops.
I'm sure all the gallerists and antique shopkeepers in Barbizon are on high alert at this point, and you won't want to buy a single painting, not even a scrap of paper, from Barbizon!"
Albert shook his head slightly, his expression bitter.
Then, Ye Tian and the others said goodbye and left, and walked out of this small gallery with two telescopic painting tubes and two boxes containing picture frame parts!
As soon as they stepped out of the gallery and onto the street outside, they immediately stopped and looked in amazement at the street in front of them.
The street in front of the gallery was already full of people at this time, and the three floors inside and the three floors outside were almost impassable!
These people include gallerists, antique shopkeepers, artists who live in Barbizon, local villagers in Barbizon, and people who work here!
Of course, there are also curious tourists, and even two media reporters who happen to be here for interviews.
The moment Ye Tian and the others came out of the gallery, everyone's eyes looked over, at Ye Tian, and at the painting tube he was carrying behind him.
Without exception, everyone's eyes at the scene were full of envy and even jealousy, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of anticipation!
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian and the others immediately understood what was going on!
Needless to say, the news of the appearance of Gauguin's "Susanna in Dance" has swept through the entire Barbizon village and even the entire Parisian art scene like a hurricane!
Obviously, these guys in front of me heard the news and came to that outstanding painting of Gauguin, which must have come a little too quickly!
As soon as Ye Tian and the others stopped, a media reporter standing at the front of the crowd asked excitedly and loudly:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, I'm a journalist for the magazine Contemporary Art, Claude, and I heard that you have just discovered a painting by Gauguin, and it is a painting that has never been seen before, is that true?"
As soon as he said this, before Ye Tian could respond, another media reporter not far away asked loudly:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, I'm Charlotte, a journalist from Art Beautiful, and the news of the publication of that Gauguin painting in your hand has spread throughout Paris!
Through the leaked photos, everyone has seen the oil painting, but everyone wants to see the real thing with their own eyes, I wonder if you can fulfill everyone's wish? Show that painting!"
As soon as the beauty finished speaking, everyone at the scene burst into a chorus, and the most excited and energetic group of people were the artists who lived in Barbizon.
"That's right, Steven, show me that painting, it's Gauguin's magnum opus, and it's something that has never been seen before, it's so impressive!"
"Steven, be generous, show me that painting, many of them are peers in the art world, and it would be a shame to miss that Gauguin masterpiece!"
Ye Tian quickly glanced at the audience, then stretched out his hands and pressed down gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
When the scene was a little quieter, he immediately said with a smile on his face:
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you all in Barbizon, it's a very beautiful village, what a wonderful day!
I know very well why you have come, and you are right, that in the gallery of Monsieur Albert's paintings, I have indeed found a masterpiece by the master Gauguin!
It is an oil painting by Gauguin's lover Suzanne Valadon, the title of which is "Susanna in Dance", which has never appeared before and has been in Susanna's private collection.
In order to hide this painting of special significance, Suzanne deliberately created an oil painting of the human body of similar size, which was covered by Gauguin's painting, and hid it for nearly a hundred years!
This is a very romantic story that will surely become a great story in the history of art, and I am very honored to have the privilege of discovering Suzanne of Dancing and discovering this story!
Now that you're here, you can't let everyone down, and next, I'm going to show you this painting of "Suzanne Dancing" to satisfy everyone's curiosity, lest you go home and sleep badly!
In the course of the next visit, I hope that everyone will follow the arrangements of my security personnel and the Paris police and visit in an orderly manner, otherwise I may end the exhibition at any time!"
At the same time that Ye Tian said this, Mattis and many security personnel had already taken quick action and arranged a cordon around Ye Tian!
The Parisian policemen in civilian clothes, as well as the local police in Barbizon, were not idle, and they took action one after another and began to maintain order at the scene!
Ye Tian's voice fell, and the scene immediately boiled!
"Bang Bang Bang"
Thunderous applause suddenly rang out and resounded throughout Barbizon!
When the applause fell, Ye Tian reached out and took the painting tube and began to display the outstanding painting of Gauguin.
As "Susanna of Dance" appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the applause immediately rang out again!
This time, the applause was even more enthusiastic and frenzied! The whole Barbizon, the whole Paris, and even the whole art world were applauding this Gauguin masterpiece and applauding that romantic story!
