This Ming Dynasty landscape painting, which is not clearly signed, was purchased by Zhao Zhongnan from an antique market in the capital for more than 100,000 yuan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he could not see the author and origin of this painting, he could judge that it was made by masters of calligraphy and painting in the late Ming Dynasty from the style and material of the painting. A painting and calligraphy work of the late Ming Dynasty, if it were not for the fact that there was no clear payment to know the origin, it would be absolutely impossible for Zhao Zhongnan to get it for only a hundred thousand yuan.

It can be said that as long as you figure out the story and author behind this painting and calligraphy, even if it is a slightly famous painter in the late Ming Dynasty, the value of this painting can be doubled several times, and it can be put at auction for millions.

However, for this kind of ancient calligraphy and painting works that have not been signed, only through the study of the painter's style and various historical allusions can we barely judge who the author is. This is not a job that ordinary people can do, and it must be based on evidence, and it must be said convincingly in order to make a number.

Generally speaking, only the judgment of experts in the art world or collectors who are recognized as having research in this area can convince the public.

Zhao Zhongnan came to his teacher Ye Huiqin's house this time under this excuse, and on the surface, he asked Ye Lao to help identify this ancient painting. In fact, it was to do what he liked, to get closer to the relationship, and even Zhao Zhongnan had already decided in his heart, after identifying the origin of the ancient painting, he gave the painting to Ye Lao by the way, and brought the relationship between the two families closer.

"Oh, it's a landscape painting of the Ming Dynasty, and I want to see ......."

Ye Lao had nothing else to do in his life, and spent his time and energy in the field of calligraphy and painting. It can be said that she is one of the few living masters of the Chinese and Western painting circles who have studied China and the West, especially the calligraphy and painting of the ancient Chinese dynasties, and the works and styles of hundreds of famous artists.

In particular, the calligraphy and painting works of the Ming Dynasty are even more talented, and many famous calligraphers and painters have emerged. For the calligraphy and painting works of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Lao is also particularly fond and interested.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Zhao Zhongnan had brought a painting and calligraphy work in the late Ming Dynasty that had not been signed, Ye Lao immediately put down his plate, walked up with great interest, and carefully looked at the Ming Dynasty landscape painting in front of him.

"The ancient paintings of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Feng, grandma's favorite is the paintings of the Ming Dynasty, let's go and take a look, right?"

Qin Yanran has been under the earnest teaching of her grandmother since she was a child, although she is not an art candidate, her art skills are even stronger than those of some students of professional art academies, and she also has a certain understanding of the styles of painters of various dynasties and generations.

And when Lin Feng sat on the sofa and saw this painting for the first time, he actually felt very familiar. When he approached Qin Yanran and took a closer look, he immediately realized that he patted his head, and said with a smile: "I thought it was that painting!

"Huh, Lin Feng, do you recognize this painting? Even grandma hasn't seen it yet, have you seen this painting before?"

Qin Yanran looked at it for a long time, but she still couldn't tell the origin and author of this painting, and saw that her grandmother was also holding a magnifying glass and frowning and thinking. But Lin Feng only glanced at it twice, and he seemed to know the whole thing about this painting, so he inevitably asked him strangely.

"I guess I recognize it!"

Lin Feng, who was excited for a while, couldn't help but blurt out what he said just now, and when Qin Yanran questioned him like this, he quickly said with a sloppy look.

But when he said it so modestly, he was looked at by Zhao Shuang and his son. In order to save the deflated field, Zhao Shuang squinted his eyes unceremoniously and sneered: "You are a high school student in a small county town, can you also see such antiques? This is a painting of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of years ago!"

"Little brother, even Ye Lao hasn't seen the origin of the painting, so you say that you recognize this painting? It's too self-conscious, right? You shouldn't confuse this painting with those landscapes, flowers and birds paintings you see in art textbooks? Haha!"

Seizing this opportunity, Zhao Zhongnan also did not hesitate to make fun of Lin Fengdao. Even he, a student of Ye Lao and a famous collector in China, can only see that this painting is in the style of the late Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to determine who made it, and it needs to be identified by an expert of Ye Lao's level.

And Lin Feng, a high school student who doesn't know anything, dares to say that he recognizes this ancient painting, which really makes Zhao Zhongnan feel extremely ridiculous. He felt that Lin Feng must have confused this real ancient painting with the ancient paintings introduced in the art textbook.

"Dad! Even you, a collector who has seen countless ancient paintings, can't judge the origin of this painting, what does he know as a high school student! I'm afraid that an 'ancient painting' that comes down the assembly line casually from a street stall will be considered an antique! Haha......

Zhao Shuang held the ancient painting in one hand, and covered his mouth with the other, and couldn't help but laugh. In his opinion, Lin Feng, a native of the countryside, knows what antiques and ancient paintings are!

Hearing the voices of the two fathers and sons laughing at him, Lin Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head. Originally, he didn't want to say it, but these two fathers and sons used this matter to criticize themselves in front of grandma and Yanran, and Lin Feng couldn't bear it.

For this painting, Lin Feng not only recognizes it, but even from another aspect, this painting can be said to be painted by Lin Feng. Because the author of this painting is actually one of the owners of the 24 Dinghai Divine Beads that have been passed down to the present day, Zhu Qi, a master of the painting circle in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, who called himself the Bada Shanren.

Lin Feng, who has almost all of Zhu Qi's memory inheritance, recognized it from the huge memory bank at the first glance when he saw this painting. This painting is a painting of "Landscape, Fish and Bird Music" painted by Zhu Qian in his later years.

Even, Lin Feng can even know clearly from his memory how each stroke fell and how the idea was laid out when Zhu Qi painted this painting at that time. After integrating these memories, Lin Feng looked at this painting again, as if he was Zhu Qi, a Bada Mountain Man, and this painting was made by himself.

"How is it? Stinky boy, don't brag! How can you recognize this kind of antique painting? Obediently stand aside and wait for Teacher Ye's judgment. Young people, for the sake of a little vanity, don't pretend to understand, it's easy to make jokes. ”

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment when he carefully searched for the gap in his memory, but Zhao Zhongnan thought that he was embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I really happen to recognize this painting. After integrating these memories, Lin Feng retorted with great confidence.

"Can you recognize it? No kidding. Even I can't tell, if you can really recognize it, why don't you give this painting to you?" Zhao Zhongnan smiled and said.
