Chapter 774: A Famous Painting in the Cabin
This is an oil painting with a width of 1.23 meters and a height of about 80 centimeters, and the more you look at it from both English and Japanese, Yasuko Sawaguchi becomes more and more fascinated: it is a beautiful scenery of a small English-style village near the river.
She is an actress, and she has seen this kind of déjà vu shot countless times in British films, beautiful, very beautiful! This painting not only has a perfect composition and color configuration, but also a perfect sense of air!
The plane was taking off, and Yasuko Sawaguchi in the bedroom didn't notice much of the angle of inclination as the plane climbed.
This is a private jet, and the pilot will only say hello in advance on the whole flight, and there will be no flight attendant to remind passengers to return to their seats and fasten their seat belts, all on their own.
As soon as the plane accelerated, all the bodyguards sat in those wide airline seats according to their customary positions and approximate counterweights.
The seats are so comfortable that they can all be put down to sleep, and even Brother Mark won't feel cramped. If you really can't sleep on the chair, you can sleep on the sofa in the living room, and the boss and the boss lady won't say anything when they see it.
But it's morning, except for a few guys on duty last night who plan to catch up on sleep, everyone else is waiting for the plane to take off, and they do whatever they like.
A few of them played Texas Hold'em in the rest area, some listened to music, and more took out the books they prepared or the magazines given by the flight attendants to pass the time.
Once the plane takes off, the safety of the boss is in the hands of the pilots, and it is rare for the bodyguards to completely relax their nerves: the plane is thoroughly checked before takeoff, even if there are special guys watching it at Narita Airport these days, except for the beautiful Japanese actress, the others on the plane are their own people.
Well, most of the bodyguards think that the small and delicate Japanese woman will be the boss's dish again, and I don't know what the bosses think.
No threat.
But these are not relevant to them, the important thing now is to enjoy this rare ten hours of time to completely relax.
The bodyguards in the front and rear sections of the plane didn't care much about the signal of the plane's takeoff, as long as they didn't run around, and Yasuko in the bedroom was even more so. She sat on the bed and looked at the paintings, and the more she looked at them, the more fascinated she became, and she felt that she was going to walk into the fields and woods in the paintings, and look at the farmers who came home after working in the fields.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that her previous twenty years of life were a bit annoying: people, people everywhere!
Face life with a smile every day, no matter whether you are happy or not, you have to laugh.
I have to act when I work, play all kinds of characters, and as Mr. Allen said, it seems that I still play a little stiff.
How good is the world in the painting, "I really want to go there, is there really a place like that?"
...... If only it would be nice to stay there for a while, probably all the stress would be gone?......"
Yasuko Sawaguchi thought a lot, and it took a long time to come out of the imagination of the scene in the painting.
came out, looked at the time, and found that I had been thinking about it for more than half an hour, and I didn't even know when the plane took off.
There are only two portholes on one side, and the spacing is very large, and it is obvious that the porthole arrangement is not as dense as that of a normal airliner because this aircraft is custom-made, which has been discovered before boarding.
Through the porthole, you can see a clear sky and the vast Pacific Ocean in the distance, just like you felt more than half an hour ago: you don't know what the future holds, it's empty.
But this will Yasuko Sawaguchi seems to have found her goal, she wants to go outside to see the world, only today to find out that the familiar Japan is so small, jumping out of the original life is so wonderful, and the change of mentality is all because of a painting!
Looking at this oil painting in the room with the eyes of the real world, it feels like it should be a master's painting.
"Who drew it?"
After searching for a long time, I finally found the artist's signature in the lower half of a large tree in the painting.
"Constance Ball!"
Amaze!
Or because she is half of British ancestry, although Yasuko Sawaguchi received a traditional Japanese education, she has also learned a lot of British things since she was a child.
When I was a child, I studied painting for a few days, and I didn't have much talent, but I also knew that there was one of the greatest landscape painters in England in the 19th century called John Constable, the best of Western pastoral landscape painting!
His paintings should be in museums and art galleries, but here they are in the bedroom of an airplane.
Although I thought that the environment here should not be bad, but the paintings of such a painter are here, and Yasuko Sawaguchi feels that her brain is a little insufficient.
Then, she thought that there seemed to be a landscape painting on the rear side of the plane's living room, but she hadn't paid close attention to it before.
"Could it be that it's also a famous painting?"
Curiosity, curiosity drove her out of the room to the living room, where she saw Mr. Allen reading a book, and the two ladies were actually talking about children. Mr. Xiang and Mr. Guan are not here, and they have probably gone to rest somewhere else.
Alyosha was lazily resting on the couch, and on the other end was the strong bodyguard named Randy, who would be flipping through the magazine.
The two bodyguards glanced at her, nodded slightly, and went about their own business. As for Zhang Nan, he didn't even raise his head: he was studying the lofty theory of traditional European premiere and recharging himself.
Although she doesn't want Japanese politeness, Yasuko Sawaguchi habitually bows 15 degrees when she sees Alyosha and Randy's gaze.
How many years have I gotten used to it, and this way of greeting me is not something that can be changed.
On the wall is still a rural landscape painting, but it is obviously more abstract than Constable's painting style, to put it more professionally, "light and tone are more important than the form of things", but at least you can enjoy the scenery, so that the average person will not be unable to understand it.
Yasuko Sawaguchi paused in front of the painting for a moment, and then tried to look for the artist's autograph from above, but she couldn't find it.
At this time, Mr. Allen's voice came from behind him: "You like painting?"
Yasuko Sawaguchi hurriedly turned around, couldn't help but bow, and nodded slightly.
"Well, Mr. Allen. I studied for a while when I was a child, but I didn't have much talent. ”
When Zhang Nan looked up just now, she found that she was looking at the painting, and after a while, she had read the two books again, and she was still reading, feeling that she seemed to want to find something from the painting.
It was the work of the British painter Joseph Turner, The River Thames at Windsor, and he must have painted several paintings of the same subject, the first of which was in 1807, when he was 32 years old.
This can only be regarded as a study in his later years, signed on the back, and without the famous time, you can already find some signs of impressionism and modern abstract painting. ”
Turner, Constable's contemporary, the former was only a year older than the latter, and both studied at the Royal Academy of Arts, but in terms of study time, Turner was ten years earlier than Constable.
The two of them have different painting styles, but they didn't think they were both hanging in the cabin of the plane.
"Thanks for the pointers!, Mr. Allen. ”
Seeing that the girl almost bowed again, Zhang Nan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be so formal: he also listened to what the two hired experts said, and the appraisal and whether he could show up were also judgments made by them, and there was nothing to talk about pointing or not.
