1886 Hidden
Looking up from the old peasant's finger, a corner of a small thatched hut loomed between the peaks and mountainsides of the dense jungle.
The expressions of the four people are different, but they portray their demeanor vividly.
Peaks, side peaks, bridges, pedestrians, and mountains and forests outline the whole picture of a visit to friends, which is simple and concise, but it is unforgettable at a glance.
"Raindrops !!"
Jin Feng's mouth came out with a poignant sentence, and his eyes were almost clubbed in the dense forest on the side peak of this huge painting.
The essence in his eyes was almost pierced through this thin black ancient painting.
This is a famous painting of the Northern Song Dynasty that Christie's took out for this warm-up auction in the magic capital.
The paper has already been identified by countless grandmasters and confirmed to be the silk material of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The penmanship is raindropped!
Short strokes in the shape of long dots, often drawn with a center and a side striker. This kind of brushwork can best express the vigor and heaviness of the mountain stone.
This penmanship is also called a gun pen in the jargon. Such as raindrops of small grains, the next pen flying like raindrops, gathering points into a slush, like gathering sand into a mountain, descendants because of its resemblance to the name.
This is one of the three masters of the Northern Song Dynasty Fan Kuan's famous penmanship, and countless people in later generations, including Huang Binhong, Xu Beihong, Dong Qichang, Gong Xian, Shi Tao and other famous artists have been influenced by him.
But it was this Song painting that made it difficult for many of Christie's connoisseurs.
No matter in terms of concept, layout or momentum, this "Visiting Friends in Cuishan" is similar to Fan Kuan's other famous painting "Traveling in Streams and Mountains", and the brushwork is similar to Fan Kuan's other "Guanshan Snow Crossing Picture", "Snow Scene Cold Forest Picture", and "Linliu Sitting Alone".
Among them, the clouds and clouds of this "Picture of Visiting Friends in the Green Mountain" are almost the same as the boulders by the ditch.
But the suspicion lies in the four people in the painting.
The first suspicion is that Fan Kuan is best at depicting landscapes, boulders and clouds, and is not good at detailed descriptions of characters, especially the facial expressions of characters.
This can be found in many paintings.
The second suspicion is the old peasant's dress.
An old farmer in the countryside and mountains was wearing a pair of official boots that did not conform to the rules of the time, which made many people puzzled.
The third suspicion is that this painting only has the inscriptions and signatures of several famous people of the dynasties, but according to the research, there is no record of this painting in the records of these celebrities.
This painting is very controversial, and Christie's has hired many top masters to do the appraisal together, and there are also disputes.
The final result was to designate the painting as a suspicious Fan Kuan painting.
Such a result is the safest.
It's also the best way to keep Christie's reputation.
After all, these are the three major battles for Christie's to regain its credibility, and if another fake incident comes out, then Christie's reputation will be over.
I want to clean up Jin Feng again in the future, but it is really difficult to find an opportunity.
In addition to this, there is another stove that is suspected to be a genuine Xuande furnace that has also been labeled as suspicious by the expert group.
Originally, this Xuande furnace and Fan Kuan's paintings were suspected to be Fan Kuan's paintings, and Bai Xingchen's masters were not going to put them up for auction, but later they didn't know what reason made them change their minds again.
Bai Xingchen knows the reason best, the reason why these two things are on is to attract more rich people to participate in the auction.
To put it bluntly, these two things are just a gimmick.
If someone buys it, the dubious label will not fall behind.
If no one buys it, the gimmick is earned.
I have to say that Bai Xingchen's masters have a good calculation.
And that's exactly what happened.
These two questionable things alone have made the world's rich people flock to them.
At the time of the auction of these two things, the Xuande furnace was auctioned from 500,000 to 7 million, and the "Picture of Visiting Friends in Cuishan" increased from 1 million to 21 times.
"Hahahaha......"
"Hahaha......"
Jin Feng suddenly burst out laughing after looking at the side of the painting for more than a minute. The laughter was full of joy, full of excitement, full of joy......
The laughter was so loud that it spread far away like a loudspeaker.
The laughter made Bai Xingchen's scalp tingle, his whole body cold, and he couldn't stop shivering.
"This, this is ...... Authenticity?"
Even if you are a fool and an idiot touching your ass, you can guess that Jin Feng has picked up a peerless leak!
Bai Xingchen's heart froze into ice, and Mu Mu asked Jin Feng in a low voice.
Jin Feng grinned, shook his head incessantly, and nodded his head incessantly.
"Yes!"
"It's the real thing!"
"Fan Kuan is another true handiwork!"
Hearing Jin Feng's affirmative answer, Bai Xingchen only felt that all his strength was drained, and he almost fell to the ground softly.
"How do you know...... Really ......"
Facing Bai Xingchen, who was almost about to faint, asked in a weak and whispered like a mosquito, Jin Feng smiled ruefully: "Has your dog-legged Yuan Yantao seen this painting?"
Bai Xingchen nodded like an obedient robot mechanically: "It was after he watched it that he decided to put it on the auction." ”
Jin Feng laughed loudly: "Even his genius was beaten." No wonder you bunch of wastewood. ”
As he spoke, Jin Feng hooked his finger at Bai Xingchen.
Bai Xingchen moved his thousand-pound legs to Jin Feng and looked down at Jin Feng's fingers.
One, two, three......
Bai Xingchen's face was full of confusion, and he only looked at the dense woods and leaves in the side peak in a daze.
Jin Feng laughed, squeezed Bai Xingchen's hand and led him to the thatched hut hidden in the corner of the dense forest.
Bai Xingchen fixed his eyes and looked closely.
One eye, three eyes, five eyes......
After looking straight for more than ten seconds, Bai Xingchen's eyes were dripping with tears, but he still didn't find anything.
Bai Xingchen smiled self-deprecatingly and rubbed his eyes.
It was at this moment that Bai Xingchen suddenly made the most terrifying discovery.
In an instant, Bai Xingchen stretched out his giraffe-like neck like a ghost and stared straight at the place.
On the dry thatch on the hut, there were two regular script characters.
"Fan ......"
"Wide!"
Burst!
Bai Xingchen snorted, took two steps back, and trembled as if struck by lightning.
"Authentic!"
At that moment, Bai Xingchen only felt that the sky was falling, and he completely had an urge to commit suicide.
If there was a gun now, Bai Xingchen did not hesitate to immediately put the barrel into his mouth and pull the trigger.
Eye-catching!
It's a treasure.
This is the real thing!
This is Fan Kuan's real handiwork!
This is definitely no less than the authentic work of "Traveling in Streams and Mountains!!
Fan Kuan......
"Traveling in Streams and Mountains" is a masterpiece that carries forward the past and forges ahead into the future, and it can be said that the whole Shenzhou can be compared to "Traveling in Streams and Mountains", and it is only "Qingming Riverside Map" and "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", as well as Jin Feng's "Cold Mountain Snow Visit" and "Luo Shen Fu Map".
"Traveling in Streams and Mountains" is now preserved in the Forbidden City of Baodao Province. In the word-of-mouth of many people, there are three treasures in the Forbidden City of Baodao Province, namely Mao Gongding, flesh-shaped stone, and jade cabbage.
However, the treasures recognized by the Forbidden City of Renbaodao Province are Mao Gongding and "Xishan Travel Map", as for the jade cabbage, it can only be ranked tenth, and the flesh-shaped stone can't even enter the top ten.
And on the "Journey to the Mountains and Streams", there is Fan Kuan's autograph hidden in the woods.
In the Song Dynasty, in order to ensure the cleanliness of a painting, the master painters did not have the fashion and habit of stamping and inscription, and not many people went to pay for it, which made it difficult to identify many hand-me-down paintings.
Even if someone makes a payment, it has one of the most significant features.
This feature is hidden.
Many painters, including Li Cheng, including Cui Bai, Chen Juzhong and Li Tang, have chosen hidden items.
Chen Juzhong's "Four Sheep Picture" falls under the sheep's belly, and Cui Bai's "Double Happiness Picture" is hidden in the tree pole. Li Tang's "Ten Thousand Pine Winds" is hidden on the stele.
These characters are very, very small, and very, very hidden, like a chameleon, which is completely integrated with the whole picture scroll, and you may not be able to find it even if you look at it with a magnifying glass.
Especially that Fan Kuan, a genius of the world, his "Journey to the Mountains and Streams" has been passed down for more than a thousand years and has passed through the hands of countless masters and emperors.
