How so?

That's more of a legendary story.

"Caravaggio's Medusa is now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and when I was studying, I saw pictures in drawing magazines, of a man or a woman with a freshly chopped off head, a head full of poisonous snakes, and an expression of surprise and disbelief.

The "Medusa" in the record is more like Leonardo da Vinci's own invention, more like a monster......"

The one on the desk is more like a monster, a monster that wants to crawl out of a pile of rocks!

"It must have been in 1469 that Leonardo da Vinci's father, Piero, was in his villa in the suburbs, and an acquaintance from the same village approached him with a piece of log cut flat from a large stump, hoping that Piero would let Leonardo da Vinci draw a picture on the piece of wood, so that he could take it back to decorate the house.

It is said that this man was good at catching birds and fishing, and Piero often used him, so he agreed.

When Piero returned to Florence, he gave the log to Leonardo da Vinci when he saw his son, but he did not say how the log came from or who he painted it for.

Leonardo da Vinci, 17, was very dedicated, first found a carpenter to smooth and polish the logs, scraped a layer of plaster on top of them by himself, and then began to think about what to paint.

As a result, he didn't know what was going on, and he wanted to paint a picture on it that would be scary, like Medusa's head seeing people die.

As a result, he collected lizards, grasshoppers, locusts, snakes, butterflies, bats, and other strange-looking animals, and kept no one else in his studio......

The finished painting startled his father Piero, thinking that he had seen a living monster, and that was exactly what Leonardo da Vinci wanted. ”

Speaking of this, Alice paused before saying, "It's too bright here, why don't we turn off the lights and try it?" This painting seems to be a little darker, which is what Leonardo da Vinci did." ”

Try it, Zhang Nan has never tried to look at this painting like that: dim the light in the study, just like in the old days when there were no electric lights.

Outcome......

With fire in his eyes and smoke in his nose, the monster was like it was alive and about to crawl out!

After the lights dimmed and his eyes adapted, Zhang Nan was taken aback!

This is not the general oil painting technique of "confusing the real with the fake", but the real feeling that it is a living monster trying to escape from the pile of stones.

At the first glance, even the round shield was ignored.

The oil painting is three-dimensional, Zhang Nan seems to remember in his memory that there are people in Chinese painting who can paint such an effect: during the Three Kingdoms, the painter Cao Buxing "fell ink into a fly", but he almost didn't annoy Sun Quan to death, and he kept chasing flies there.

and Tang Yin, who was the same age as Leonardo da Vinci, studied painting under Shen Zhou, and Bohu was a little complacent about his achievements. One day in class, Shen Zhou asked Tang Yin to open the window, and Tang Yin approached and found that it was Shen Zhou's window, so he was in awe and continued to study painting seriously.

It's a pity that the two Chinese paintings that can be fake and real have not been handed down to future generations, and there are no copies, and future generations can only listen to legends.

Now I can see a painting that can really achieve that effect, although it is an oil painting, but it is also magical enough!

“...... 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci's father was also shocked, but he was still very happy and took the painting away.

But instead of giving it to the man from the same village, he found another log and drew a heart and a piercing arrow casually. As a result, the people in the same village were actually very satisfied with this painting "Love Arrow Piercing the Heart", and said that he would never forget Piero's kindness for the rest of his life.

Piero sent his fellow villagers away, and turned around and sold his son Leonardo da Vinci's painting of Medusa to a Florentine merchant, earning 100 gold coins. And the merchant later sold the painting to the Duke of Milan and made 300 gold coins!

If this story is true, and with this authentic work, we can conclude that Caravaggio's "Medusa" should not be a copy of Leonardo da Vinci's painting, and Caravaggio's Medusa head is not in the rocks, nor is it emitting fire and smoke, which is far from the composition of Leonardo da Vinci's original painting. ”

After Alice's story was finished, Zhang Nan thought it was very interesting, and said with a smile: "If the story is true, of course, it can also show that Leonardo da Vinci's father has a bad character and bullies rural people." Also, the merchant and the Duke of Milan are both 250!"

250, everyone around me understands what it means, Zhang Nan's vocabulary of "invention and creation", allusions, and sources are unknown, but everyone understands it.

Alice smiled and said: "It's two fools, hundreds of gold coins, the gold coins in circulation in Florence have thirty grams of zero, and hundreds of them buy an oil painting painted by a 17-year-old painter's apprentice, either hype or greasy!"

No one knows what happened 500 years ago, but it doesn't matter, it's just Leonardo da Vinci's real work.

Don't talk about how much his paintings are worth, talk about money cheesy!

Van Gogh's paintings have a price, Picasso's have a price, and Leonardo da Vinci's existing paintings count the unfinished and collaboratively painted, and there are about 20 more, but it seems that there is really no price.

When the Mona Lisa was stolen in 1911, it was estimated at $1.5 million, but others estimated it at more than 3 billion francs.

In the end, it was painted back to the Louvre, but Leonardo da Vinci's paintings still did not have a price, and the major museums that collected the original works would not sell them.

It is said that another one was found more than 20 years later and sold for about 80 million dollars, but it is only known whether the painting is real or fake.

But even if it's true, it's been repaired on a large scale, and value can't be used as a criterion.

"Alan, will you make this picture public?"

It was Alice who was asking.

"Not yet, but I'll hang it in my study to be scary. ”

There is no need to make it public, I am not short of money and I don't want too much fame, it is too late to escape from the public eye, how can I be in the mood to pretend to be forced or put on a scene.

Outsiders in my own study can't get in at all, and it feels good to hang Leonardo da Vinci opposite Repin!

The shield was put away, and the curious Adjani and Alice were shown some items related to Hitler in the study safe, and it was time to wash and sleep.

Zhang Nan was very busy tonight, after taking a shower in front of her, she had a big fight with Nicole and Jenny, and then the two women were reasonable, Zhang Nan accompanied Adjani, who had the best help to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and slept until dawn, and poor Alice accompanied her daughter Lily to keep the empty room.

Zhang Nan felt that he had to take care of his family, otherwise he would have to die of exhaustion!

It's only 20 years old now, and in another ten years, I have to be squeezed dry, and it's nonsense to think that it hasn't been hung on the wall in a hundred years!

What to do?

Exercise!

It's not a gym, it's a Taoist health practice.

The self-cultivation exercises recorded in the "Yongle Canon" have long been studied by the Taoist masters, the director of the agricultural curator, and the content of practicing "Neidan" is not those things that eat "Jindan" in a mess.

Don't think about cultivating to become an immortal, strengthening your body and prolonging your life should have some effect.

It's not eight o'clock in the morning......

Let's count it early in the morning, Zhang Nan was on the side of the strait in the forest of the manor, sitting cross-legged on a granite rock and calmly breathing in the fresh air full of negative ions.

For three consecutive days, meditate for half an hour, and then practice another set of internal exercises with Boss Guan and brother-in-law.

Three more days......

If you don't play with your brother-in-law, what kind of internal strength is to yourself, I don't understand or feel it at all!

Hard skills, external offenses first practice for more than ten or twenty years, and then look at the internal exercises, you may gain something.

A layman like Zhang Nan, even if there are two "teachers" who are half-blindly pondering, they are confused.

It's the same with Randy, Americans can't understand traditional Chinese culture, and they can't even practice Qiu Bo.

The bodyguards also practiced with Xiang Weirong and the two for a few days, but soon they were self-aware and found that it was more reliable to go to the shooting range and the gym in their free time.

Except for Lin Ming, this guy is a freak, Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan are practicing the whole body, and that guy has practiced it in his hands, and he thinks it is very effective.

has a family tradition of martial arts, said that if he practices like this, his hands may not be wasted after he is sixty or seventy years old.

Lin Ming's kung fu is mostly in his hands, so let's practice, it's better than not even holding chopsticks in another thirty years.

......

A week after returning to New York, Madeleine, the salon's organizer, called Nicole and said she wanted to exchange the few remaining Oriental antiques and works of art for diamonds.

It is not the market price of the "Star Group", but the price at which the rough stones of diamond producers in the Brussels Diamond Exchange in Belgium are sold.

With a confident bargaining chip, the diamond needs all high-grade rough diamonds of more than 10 carats, because the other party thinks his collection is worth more than $5 million.

Pinch your nose and admit it!

On October 5, the deal was concluded, and Zhang Nan paid about $20 million in the market price of the original diamond in exchange for three things.

The intermediary said that the other party had taken out all the collections, and on the surface, Zhang Nan could only admit it.

Heart......

It's not good!

is a Chinese person, and spending such a big price to exchange for the treasure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is equivalent to his mother-being robbed again!

As soon as he returned to the manor with his things, the more Zhang Nan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but ask Nicole: "Is there a way to kill that bastard in business!"

"It's hard, people are not gamblers. ”

Nicole didn't understand a little: if it was a loss-making business to change these three things, then why change them?

Then there is no way, people are trading with themselves according to the rules of business, and the big deal seems to be determined that they will change: who makes himself have the face of a Chinese person.

You can't send someone to kill someone's whole family!

He is a law-abiding citizen in the United States, not a big robber and murderer, let alone a terrorist, at least not to rob the other party of his own flesh now.

"Forget it, if he still has it, then find a way to kill him!"

Men, they always like to say two harsh words in such situations.

"Lost?"

Nicole asked carefully: Yahya Jamme's body was cold last month, and the people in the family who were still alive were thrown into the Gambian prison, and the news came back that most of them had died because of the disease.

Say kill the whole family, the whole family!

"No loss, a string of eastern pearls, a string of ruby pearls, plus the phoenix crown on the old witch's head, can't be lost. ”

So what's the anger?

Nicole didn't understand.

But if you don't understand, you don't understand, your own man is unhappy, and you don't need other reasons.

"Alan, when I'm done with the things in Japan, I'll see if I can make that guy shrink a little through a third party. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Nan calmed down and said, "Forget it, it's too troublesome, if it's really upset, just let Thomas send someone to drive a truck and hit him half to death, I don't want his life."

Traffic accidents are inevitable for everyone, and they are clean from beginning to end. ”

Traffic accident killing, as long as you don't do it yourself, don't goof, don't be fully responsible for good technology, it's really - killing doesn't pay for life, and there's no!

Insurance companies pay specifically for such "homicides"!

Or the pearl, produced in the Songhua River of the east pearl for the pearl, this is the Qing royal family pearl regulations in the most noble and high level, only the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the queen can wear.

The Qing Dynasty custom is very strict, in the pearl of the dynasty, the emperor with the pearl of the east, the day with lapis lazuli as the decoration, the ground with honey beads, the sun with coral beads, the setting moon with turquoise beads, all bright yellow silk.

The queen, the queen mother, and the queen mother wear three plates of pearls, one east pearl, two corals, and one plate of pearls in auspicious clothes, all of which are bright and yellow.

Imperial concubines, concubines, concubines and concubines are dressed in three plates of pearls, one of honey, two of corals, and one plate of pearls in auspicious clothes, bright and yellow.

This string of eastern pearls is 134 centimeters in circumference, and the main body is composed of 108 small thumb-sized, round and crystalline "walking plate" eastern pearls, interspersed with transparent ruby Buddha heads 4, and each Buddha head is accompanied by lapis lazuli accompanying beads on both sides 1.

Under the top Buddha head is connected with the East Pearl Turquoise Buddha Head Pagoda 1, under the tower with a bright yellow ribbon to wear the oval gold rewire inlaid with chrysoberyl and red, sapphire back cloud, the back cloud is decorated with the East Pearl red coral bat-shaped knot 1, and the tail end of the back cloud is decorated with the East Pearl gold resito ruby pendant 1.

The 3 strings of remembrance are composed of sapphires, each string of 10 grains, and the tail end is decorated with 1 pendant angle of the eastern pearl gold tie silk ruby pendant.

The silk also uses the inlay technique of millet beads, which is completely in line with all the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty Dongzhu Dynasty beads, plus the women's model, which is worn by the queen mother and queen.

However, according to Zhang Nan's poor knowledge of the pearls, it is impossible to determine the age of their production and use, and to figure it out, you have to go to the Palace Museum to compare the characteristics of the pearls of the Qing Dynasty in various periods preserved there.

If you don't have that effort, I'll talk about it later, anyway, when Nong Bo retires, there is a chance that a master will become his own professional appraiser.

The rubies on the plate of rubies are arranged on both sides at a time according to their size and diameter, and the large ones are more than 1.2 centimeters in diameter.

However, there are some discrepancies with the current judgment of the grade of rubies, many of which are translucent at best.

But there are also a lot of high-level ones, and Brown who accompanied Zhang Nan was there: if only there were no piercings!

The two plates of top-level pearls made Zhang Nan feel that he was not at a loss, not to mention the top: there were 9 golden phoenixes on it, and each phoenix had a huge Dongzhu in its mouth!

According to Brown's judgment, the largest pearl should have weighed more than 120 grams!

Zhang Nan estimated that this pearl was the super Dongzhu that was judged to be 11 million taels of silver at that time before the Qing Dynasty basically lost the origin of the East Pearl!

Roughly converted into today's purchasing power, it is worth nearly 100 million dollars!

And the total valuation of the other 8 pearls at that time was 7.8 million taels of silver, even if the Qing Dynasty court valuation was a pitfall, it would be terrible!

That bastard treats these Dongzhu as ordinary antique freshwater pearls, otherwise he would probably have to open his mouth.

These three things are added to one, and it is strange that you will lose money!

Nicole is still pity for those huge pearls, if Zhang Nan hadn't said that it was very likely to be taken out of the coffin, she would have the idea of taking them off to make jewelry.

Set yourself a small goal first: such as collecting pen fun pavilion:. Mobile version URL: m.
