Chapter 557: The Secret Behind the Necklace
All the foreign guests shook their heads and sighed, but finding this problem also made them all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood!
Because it shows that the painting has another story, and the story behind it is the reason why antiques are so popular!
All collectors have the ultimate desire to one day discover some historical truth from antiques!
Among all the people in the audience, only Chen Ou could not hide the disappointment in his eyes, because this showed that his previous judgments were all wrong!
Chen Ou's eyes were full of wry smiles at the moment, and Su Mei couldn't help but step forward to pat him, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
Buying a fake is not a big deal, it is nothing more than spending money to buy a lesson, but the real thing that is full of confidence is suddenly proven to be a fake, and this blow is the most painful!
Chen Ou wanted to be alone at the moment, so that Su Mei next to him didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only persuade with good words: "It's better to know the truth now than not to know, and this painting is not a fake." ”
"You don't understand...... Hey......" Chen Ou couldn't say it, this sense of disparity made his original excitement disappear in an instant.
Seeing that Chen Ou was so frustrated, Su Fei couldn't help but step forward and pat him, and said with a smile: "Don't be so disappointed, I haven't finished talking yet, there are surprises in the back." ”
"Huh, and surprises!"
"Oh, tell me, don't sell it!"
"Young man, your name is Su Fei, right, I remember you, next time I must invite you to my manor as a guest, but now tell us quickly, what are the surprises?"
Even the old woman Janice didn't expect Su Fei to have a follow-up story, and suddenly raised her interest again!
Su Fei smiled and patted Chen Ou's shoulder gently, as if to say: Listen with peace of mind, the next thing is the point!
"There is no doubt that this painting is the original work of Biconnow, which means that this is indeed an ancient painting of the sixteenth century, and we might as well boldly explore why someone would not hesitate to destroy the integrity of the whole painting and deliberately add this sapphire necklace, and what is the story behind this sapphire necklace!"
"It all started with this blue paint. ”
Su Fei's eyes flashed with incomparable confidence, and his charming posture immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Meng Lin's eyes looking at Su Fei were completely unable to pull them out, and Su Fei's eyes were faintly throbbing.
"As we all know, after the eighteenth century, the blue pigment changed, and all kinds of artificially blended blue began to enter people's field of vision, so the person who added this sapphire necklace must have been after the eighteenth century, and he must have been a famous painter, otherwise he would not have this pigment, and he would not have this skill, am I right?"
Many foreign guests nodded their heads.
Su Fei's voice changed: "I don't know if you remember that there was such a person in the middle of the eighteenth century, he didn't like to create himself, but he liked to copy the handwriting of famous artists, so that the paintings he copied can be described as fake, I dare to say that until now, many so-called famous paintings are even fakes that he copied." ”
"You're talking about Gillette, and you can't possibly not know it. Janice smiled kindly.
Gillett, a famous painter in the middle of the eighteenth century, he became famous because two identical paintings suddenly appeared at an auction in later generations, which led to his name spreading throughout the painting and calligraphy collection world.
But it is precisely because of this that Gillett's paintings are sometimes even higher than the originals, because his artistic accomplishment is so amazing!
"If Gillett makes a move...... Indeed, he is the only one who can copy Biconnor's brushwork to such a level, and this sapphire necklace is not abrupt at all, it is exactly the same as the original itself!"
"Yes, thinking about it, it seems that he is the only one. ”
"That's right. ”
......
The foreign guests nodded in agreement with Su Fei's point of view, and at the same time, they were suddenly much more interested in what Su Fei was going to say next.
Chen Ou also cheered up instantly, and even blushed with excitement!
Because he actually has a famous painting created by Biconor and Gillette at the same time!
Two famous artists who can go down in the history of painting and calligraphy actually created this painting in their hands together! This is not only the exchange between two great painters in the long river of time, but also a unique collection in the world!
Chen Ou couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh at this moment!
However, Su Fei just glanced at Chen Ou lightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." ”
"And!"
At this moment, everyone had just recovered from the shock just now, and they were suddenly frightened by Su Fei again!
Su Fei smiled: "Don't forget, I haven't said that sapphire necklace yet." ”
"Yes, and necklaces!"
"I can't wait!"
At this moment, everyone was staring at Su Fei as closely as a curious good student, even Su Mei, who didn't know much about collecting, had a concentrated expression on his face, as if he was afraid of missing any detail.
Our little cutie Meng Lin feels that she is almost flying with excitement at this moment!
Su Fei's voice changed and mentioned a historical event: "Everyone should remember that in the mid-to-late eighteenth century, a change that shocked the world took place in the Ying Kingdom, the Van Sai Revolution!"
"And in the autobiography of one of the people who experienced this revolution, it is mentioned several times that the Van Ssay revolution originated from a sapphire necklace!"
Speaking of which, everyone couldn't help but gasp in unison!
"You're saying this sapphire necklace is the one!"
"I remember that there was a record of it, but historians have different opinions about it, and it has not been proven. ”
"But again, no one dares to say that this is nonsense. ”
............
For a while, everyone said a word, and there was some argument.
Janice coughed lightly and said slowly, "Please be quiet and let Mr. Su Fei continue." ”
"Yes, yes, Mr. Su Fei, please continue. ”
"Then I continued. Su Fei thanked Janice and bowed slightly: "We might as well make a bold guess." ”
"I've been thinking about the question for a long time, if this is really Gillette's handiwork, then why did he add this sapphire necklace?"
"Then I thought of one thing, that Gillette was a staunch supporter of the reformers, and this argument is an argument that I need not say too much, it has already been settled in history. ”
"If he puts this painting out with the sapphire necklace, you can imagine what the effect will be? It will definitely alarm the royal family of Yingguo at that time, and their noble origins will naturally ask for this sapphire necklace to be included in the royal family. ”
"The most difficult thing for the Van Se Revolution was the Royal Palace, where the royal family was located, with its well-equipped and numerous army. But what is puzzling is that all the historical records record that the first place where the Van Sai Revolution broke out, was inside the Imperial Palace!
"So I had a bold guess!"
Su Fei stopped suddenly when he spoke, he looked around, and only smiled when everyone else was so anxious that they couldn't help but scratch their ears and cheeks.
"The reason why Gilette painted this painting is to use this painting as a testimony to send this sapphire into the interior of the Dao Imperial Palace, and this necklace is a signal that the revolutionaries should fire the first shot of the Van Sele revolution from within!"
Everyone listened with enthusiasm, and instantly locked their eyes on the sapphire necklace not far away!
Naturally, it is impossible for the sapphire necklace to let the revolutionaries launch a revolution immediately after entering the palace, because all revolutions require a long preparation, and they need to be combined inside and outside!
Janice was extremely excited at the moment, she looked at Chen Ou with bright eyes, and said excitedly word by word: "Mr. Chen, can you please take out the sapphire necklace and let us all take a closer look!"
The others also looked at Chen Ou with hope in their eyes, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves!
Surrounded so eagerly by all the top collecting experts in the industry, Chen Ou simply didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment!
It's just a blast!
Chen Ou immediately said: "Someone, hurry up and take out the necklace!"
In front of everyone, the necklace was finally brought to everyone, and everyone excitedly put on gloves to step forward, rummaging back and forth several times, but found nothing.
The enthusiasm cooled down in an instant.
One moment heaven and one time hell, Chen Ou felt that he couldn't bear it!
At this moment, everyone's eyes for help looked at Su Fei together!
Su Fei smiled slightly: "It's better for me to come." ”
"I'll do it anyway. ”
The gaze that Chen Ou asked for help was unbearable, and Su Fei didn't bother to take this shelf.
Putting on gloves and picking up the sapphire necklace, Su Fei looked at the necklace back and forth several times, and then groped for the sapphires one by one, until it reached the largest sapphire!
Su Fei twisted slightly on the largest sapphire necklace, only to hear a snap, the sapphire suddenly turned up, and under the sapphire was an empty depression.
Just the right size to fit a folded piece of paper!
The atmosphere in the inner exhibition hall exploded completely!
The guests in the outer exhibition hall were still talking to each other, when they suddenly heard an earth-shattering cheer from the inner exhibition hall!
"What's going on?"
Xing Yang frowned and spoke, although his identity could not enter the internal exhibition hall, his family status was not comparable to others in the external exhibition hall, and now the booth he was in was already overcrowded.
One man wondered, "Could it be that something is going on?"
The other man, who had already gotten up, walked down the hallway and asked the staff about it, but the staff said they didn't know.
Xing Yang, who was full of doubts, stared at the door behind him, always feeling that something terrible had happened there.
