Chapter 288: The Last Supper

Old Sean has never been so proud, he seems to be proud of the spring breeze, and the old tree blooms with new flowers, God, since the appearance of Huaxia Zhou, it has been really smooth, and all good things have come.

In the eyes of the third and fourth level of small wineries, it is the temple of Jerusale~ cold, even with the certificate and recommendation letter of the National Wine Office, old Sean still feels weak and timid, twisted like a big boy in first love.

But he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and when several professional tasters from the workshop tasted the sample wine he brought, within a few days, a notice and an invitation letter were sent to the idler winery by the cuckold postman. The ending is perfect, not only did the winery get a temporary invitation to participate in the French wine and food competition, but also was registered in the list of candidates by the research society, even if it could not get the top 50 in this competition, it would also get three years of 'upgrade preparation' time, as long as the production and sales required by the research society were reached within three years, it could successfully become a second-class winery, and restore the former glory of Marie, which is the idler winery.

When he received this good news call, Zhou Yi was carefully reading the 'Lot Catalog' sent by the maid, before he swam in the ocean of knowledge, and his ears did not hear anything outside the window, so he received it later than Professor Adam.

"The Last Supper, Falmel's work?"

Zhou Yi looked at the catalogue of lots in his hand, his expression was a little shocked, but he quickly calmed down, poured himself a cup of tea, and carefully admired this painting that had been challenged by countless great European painters.

Even if you don't know anything about Western painting. You will also learn about the status of this painting in the history of Western painting, not to mention that Zhou Yi has just seen an introduction to this painting in "Three Hundred Years of Western Painting".

The most successful work in this genre. By Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. The painter, who is said to have painted thousands of eggs, succeeded in depicting in this painting the composure of Gi~DoΚΉjes~Jesus, the panic of the disciples, and the panic disguised by the traitor Judas. The so-called painter is difficult to draw his hands, and he is afraid of depicting things, this is a work of expressiveness, which vividly expresses the advantages of Western painting, which is by no means beyond the reach of any painting school. Although Zhou Yi is a native of China, he has to admit that Huaxia painting, which focuses more on freehand, cannot do this. Art knows no borders, and he must identify with it.

The original Da Vinci is currently in the monastery of Santa Maria del Gochi in Milan, and anyone who wants to get their hands on it has to think about whether they can withstand the wrath of the world's followers, so even the most awesome international thieves dare not touch the idea of it. Even if you get it, no one will buy it at all, so in the collection market, many of the Last Supper by famous artists have become sought-after goods, including the works of Giotto, El Greco, Flippo Libby, Libby's student Botticelli, and even Van Gogh painted this painting before he became famous, but compared to Falmel's works. These famous painters have to retreat.

Falmer, a contemporary of Leonardo da Vinci, was not as famous as Leonardo da Vinci, but Leonardo da Vinci said: "Falmer is a true master, and his depiction of the 'Last Supper' is even better than mine in some respects." ”

It's a pity that Falmel is a person with a strange temperament, this is Cao Xueqin in the Western painting world, he doesn't have many friends, he refuses to accept help, and even selling his paintings is regarded by him as a desecration of art, when he dies. He even burned down his works and became a complete spiritual giant and a perfect artist.

It's just that among his few friends, there are still people who have collected some of his paintings, so his name has survived to this day, but whether this "Last Supper" exists or not, there are different opinions, there is no definite answer, if this one on the auction catalogue is genuine, it is definitely more than 50 million euros of treasures, once it is born, it will cause a sensation in the world.

"It's really interesting"

Zhou Yi laughed softly, I'm afraid that only a painting idiot like Adam would believe that this painting is genuine, right? John is just a declining nobleman, and his ancestors are a former invader, such a family that can't compete with art can have such precious paintings?

Looking at the other objects in the auction catalog, even a few cultural relics from the Han Dynasty and paintings from the Song Dynasty are only a reserve price of one million euros, and the set of seven-star lanterns that Tang Bao is most concerned about is only marked with 1.2 million euros, and these things are not as precious as this painting. Now Zhou Yi is a little suspicious that John set up this secret trade fair just to sell this "Last Supper", the fact may not be as he said, because of economic distress to sell the ancestral property, right?

The British are cunning and cunning.

Of course, these are just speculations, the farmer may still have Yuan Qinghua tweed in his hand, and Zhou Yi can't make judgments before seeing this painting, but he believes that with the 'identification' skills under the painting art, it is not so easy for John to deceive himself, and his interest has been successfully aroused by John, even if it is not for Adam's 'sacred artist mission', he will also intervene.

"Zhou, I asked Tang, Liu and Zhang, they don't seem to have the sincerity to help me, now I can only rely on you, I know we just met, but please believe in an old man who has guarded art all his life, I know you are a rich man, as long as you are willing"

"Brother Zhou, you can help Professor Adam, he is a good person. ”

The white ice ice that followed behind Adam had red eyes, and he was infinitely close to Little Red Riding Hood.

"Tang Bao, they all rejected you? This is too normal, the reserve price is 50 million euros, and it will probably take 60 million or more to win this painting, and no one's money is blown by the wind." ”

Zhou Yi looked at Adam and said a little strangely: "Professor Adam, you don't seem to have to worry like this, right? Aren't all the real collectors who are invited to the Lion Castle? Could it be that only you get this painting? I don't think so?"

"Week. I was in too much of a hurry to make my words clear. ”

Adam heard that there was a door. The old eyes of the two-color fan were about to glow: "Zhou, you are right, many of the people who can come to the Lion Castle are real collectors. Some of them are old friends of mine, and if they did, of course, the Last Supper would be fine, but the problem is that your brother-in-law has also shown a lot of interest in the painting."

"You mean Henry?" Zhou Yi was slightly stunned.

"Yes, as far as I know, he's a declining painter, or not a painter at all. And now he's the owner of a casino, which is really too much, I don't know why John invited him here, oh. Oh my God."

Sure enough, the artist's temper knows no borders, and Adam has a fight with those guys who are light on money, contempt for power, and can't get on the boat when the Son of Heaven calls for him, and he doesn't have a good impression of a gambling tycoon like Henry: "Zhou, you know that the financial resources of a casino owner are beyond our control, and even if I and a few collectors take out all the cash for this painting, we will only have less than 40 million euros, and even the reserve price is not enough." If you are willing to help us, you will share this painting with us, and you will always be in the grace of the Lord" It seems that he is more than just an artist. Still a devout believer, Zhou Yi now understood why he was so nervous.

"Mr. Adam, you should know that Henry is my relative, and we Huaxia people attach great importance to family affection."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Do you want me and my family to compete for this painting?"

To be honest, Henry's approach still made Zhou Yi more satisfied, I thought that this guy would fall and wait for his salvation to regain his life, but I didn't think that he had forgotten the foundation of a 'painter'. After all, buying a painting is much better than buying a drug~ product, and Zhou Yi is really a little undecided.

"Zhou, a true artist is not going to be a casino owner who only has money in his eyes, can you trust my judgment? Also, I can see that your relationship is not harmonious, at least he is cold to you. ”

Professor Adam swallowed, knowing that when he said this, he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and if the truth was not what he had guessed, the great painting would be plunged into endless darkness forever, at least in his opinion.

***

Zhou Yi did not refuse Professor Adam's request in the end, 20 times the wisdom of ordinary people is enough for him to judge that Adam is not lying, this is a respectable old man who is willing to give his life for art, not to mention that he also needs to judge Henry's true intentions through this competition for famous paintings, if Henry is not lost because of his sudden wealth, and can still stick to his original ideal, this time he bought "The Last Supper" is also out of a healthy and positive attitude, then his plan is about to change, breaking and standing is a last resort, usually because the 'old building' is irretrievable will be demolished and restarted, Zhou Yi hopes that Henry can surprise himself, so that the second sister does not even have to experience a short 'labor pain'.

"Okay Mr. Adam, so be it, I'm going to continue researching the data"

Zhou Yi pointed to the books piled up on the shelves and said with a smile: "Only enough reading can give me the ability to distinguish the real from the fake, such as this Falmel's painting."

"Okay, then don't bother, Zhou, thank you. ”

Adam and Bai Bingbing exited the room, but they were very puzzled, such a master who had already mastered the technique of 'ink painting reflection', would still have to read materials to distinguish the authenticity of the painting? That day, Zhou Yi did not show the reflective technique in front of Adam and Bai Bingbing, he was no longer an impulsive child, and he would go crazy because of a request from a beautiful girl.

"Henry, I hope you don't let me down this time"

Zhou Yi muttered to himself, Henry's appearance in the Lion Castle was somewhat unexpected to him, and it also gave him a bad premonition, but he would rather think about things on the bright side.

Ps: I originally said that I would do three more today, it seems that I can't do it today, the light and darkness have been sleeping very badly recently, I didn't fall asleep until three o'clock in the morning yesterday, and my head is not clear enough, and the Internet writers are thinking about what is going to be written, and enriching the details in the process of writing, it is still very brain-consuming, in my state, it is difficult to write the next chapter.

This will feel groggy, I want to take a shower, go to bed early, and forgive me for the light and darkness once?

Forget it, when the state is not good, in order to get a monthly pass and reluctantly update, this is more like 'killing the chicken and taking the eggs' and 'drying up and fishing', looking back, the light and darkness are too impetuous, if this is updated for the sake of updating, it will only outweigh the losses, I have repeatedly emphasized Zhou Yi's state of mind, but what about my state of mind?

Fine water can flow for a long time, and if you don't seek to hear it, you can achieve it, I understand these truths, why are you lost?

Let the light and darkness be quiet first, and sort out the ideas, but everyone can rest assured, the chapter of the Spring Festival rest, this moonlight and darkness must be returned. (To be continued)
