Chapter 1120 Fuchun Mountain Residence Map
"Okay, let's start the auction, the painting is placed here, you can bid as much as you want, your antiques, what is the value, I know in my heart, what is considered the most valuable, naturally you can take this painting." Zhang Tianyuan didn't really mind whether the painting could be sold, what he wanted was just an effect, to raise the value of these Picasso words in his hands higher, so that when he traded with the Brotherhood in the future, he could also strive for greater benefits.
"But we didn't take those antiques, do we have to go to the house to pick them up?"
"That's not necessary, I believe that since you collect antiques, you naturally carry a collection of catalogs with you, no problem, as long as you write the characteristics of the thing, or have photos, you can also participate in the auction. â
It is precisely because he doesn't need this transaction to be successful, so he doesn't care whether the other party's writing is zĂ i or not, or that sentence, all he wants is an atmosphere, an atmosphere.
"I! I have two Yuan blue and white porcelain in my house, which have been verified by experts to be true! This is a photo, you can take a look. â
A middle-aged British gentleman came to the stage with his mobile phone and asked Zhang Tianyuan to look at the photo.
After Zhang Tianyuan carefully observed the photo, he could confirm that if the photo was not photoshopped, then the probability that this Yuan Qinghua was really as high as more than eighty percent, but I didn't expect it, good things really have to be in the folk, which is a surprise.
"Elder Wang, can you please help record it?" Zhang Tianyuan couldn't be busy alone, so he looked at Wang Zhengjun, he knew that Wang Zhengjun would definitely help with this, because even if the auction was unsuccessful. This is also a good opportunity to excavate Chinese antiques from the British and even Western society.
"Of course, the old man is willing to serve!" Wang Zhengjun nodded.
"I'm here to help, too. He Chong found this thing interesting. Also went up.
Zhang Tianyuan did not object, he originally planned to have a good relationship with He Chong. Since the other party is so active, where is there a reason for him to reject people thousands of miles away.
Subsequently, the photo of Na Yuan Qinghua was copied and registered on the computer.
"I have a Chinese painting of Tang Bohu, which should be real. â
"I have more than 20 enamel colored porcelain at home!"
"I have more than a dozen bronzes from the Spring and Autumn period in China!"
"I have a Warring States Ancient Sword!"
"I ......"
âŚâŚ
Shocked, really shocked, even Zhang Tianyuan didn't expect that his simple move to raise the price of Picasso's oil paintings would lead to Chinese antiques that the outside world didn't know about.
Some of these people are from the UK. Some are from Germany, France, Russia, Spain, Portugal and other countries.
There are also from the United States and Japan.
Of course, there are also some banana people involved.
In the end, the number of these items has reached tens of thousands, and if you get all of them, you can definitely run a museum of considerable scale.
This is only a small part, and I really don't know how many Chinese antiques have been lost outside.
He now has to carefully select the things that can be exchanged with Picasso's oil paintings, but there are so many things that he is really a little dazzled.
"Hahaha. Boss Zhang, it's been a long time. â
Just when Zhang Tianyuan was selecting what he needed among those things, Helis actually walked out shamelessly.
It's been a long time since I've seen a ghost, so we haven't seen each other for a day.
"Helis. Pay us back!"
"Don't argue, don't argue, wait until the auction is over. You can get a satisfactory answer, but for now. I'm here to bid. Helis smiled, looked at Zhang Tianyuan and said, "Boss Zhang." I'm also eligible to participate in your auction, right?"
"Of course, I just don't know what good things you can come up with?" Zhang Tianyuan nodded.
"Huang Gongwang's authentic work "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" and Gu Kaizhi's Tang facsimile "Female History Atlas" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are enough, right?" Helis said confidently.
"Fuchun Mountain Residence" is a calligraphy and painting of the Yuan Dynasty, the painter Huang Gongwang painted for the useless master, with the Fuchun River in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang as the background, the whole picture is light and elegant with ink, the arrangement of mountains and water is sparse and dense, the ink color is dry and wet at the same time, it is very rich in changes, it is Huang Gongwang's representative work, and is known as one of the "top ten famous paintings in China". At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was passed to the collector Wu Hongyu, who loved this painting very much, and even ordered the painting to be burned and buried before he died, and was rescued from the fire by Wu Hongyu's nephew, but at this time the painting had been burned into two sections, one large and one small. The longer latter part is called "Useless Master Scroll", which is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and the first part is called "Leftover Mountain Map", which is now collected in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Museum. How could there be a second authentic painting?" said Wang Zhengjun on the side in shock.
"Then the old gentleman must have heard of something else, right?" asked Helis with a smile.
"What's the matter?" asked Wang Zhengjun suspiciously.
During the Qianlong period, a "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" was enlisted into the palace, and the Qianlong Emperor couldn't put it down, but in the following year, another "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" entered the Qing Palace. The former said that the 'Ziming Scroll' was forged by later generations, and the latter was a 'useless master scroll', which is the authentic work of Huang Gongwang. However, the Qianlong Emperor determined that the 'Ziming Scroll' was genuine, and stamped the jade seal on the fake painting, and wrote poems and inscriptions with the ministers in the blank space, treating the authentic works as fakes. Until modern scholars overturned the case, thinking that Emperor Qianlong had made a mistake. Thus preserving a complete useless division volume. Helis said.
"Of course I know about this, so what?" Wang Zhengjun still didn't understand what Helis meant.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "Sir Helis probably thinks that in fact, the 'Ziming Scroll' is true, and this Taoist priest is also possible, after all, the appraisal ability of modern scholars may not be comparable to that of Qianlong Ye and his courtiers, so Sir Helis, can you borrow your "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" to take a look?"
Zhang Tianyuan belongs to the kind of person who will not fully believe what he has not seen with his own eyes, since others are here, it is natural to take a good look at whether the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" that Helis said is true, anyway, he has a knack for appreciating words, whether things are true or false, you can know at a glance!
And he also thought that in 1745, one of the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" was requisitioned into the palace, and the Qianlong Emperor couldn't put it down after seeing it, treasured it by his side, took it out from time to time to appreciate, and wrote a poem inscription in the blank space of the 6-meter-long scroll, and stamped it with a jade seal. Unexpectedly, the next year, that is, in 1746, he got another "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map". Two "Fuchun Mountain Residence Pictures", one is true and the other is fake, but the two paintings are too similar to each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
In fact, it is not difficult to find from this statement that the two paintings are indeed very similar, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is normal to make a mistake.
But Emperor Qianlong and his ministers won't all be blind, right?
If someone wants to shoot Emperor Qianlong's sycophant, but in that era, there were not no ministers, why didn't they fight for it?
Besides, at that time, He Shen was a collector of cultural relics, so could it be that even he had misjudged? If he knew that the fake painting identified by Qianlong was actually a real painting, why didn't he collect it himself? You must know that at that time, Emperor Qianlong didn't care about that painting at all, and even openly said that he could reward it to his subordinates.
Another thing that Zhang Tianyuan is not convinced of is that Xu Bangda raised the so-called "Useless Master Scroll" rehabilitation.
Yes, this is a master appraiser, and he has many books, but he is not a god, and he once mistakenly judged an ancient famous painting to be worthless, and not only did he make mistakes, but he made more than one mistake.
Moreover, there are too many imitations in the history of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", at least it is estimated that there are about ten, and almost every one of them is of excellent quality.
One of them is the Ming Dynasty painter Zhang Hong's "Imitation of Huang Gongwang Fuchun Mountain Residence". The painting is recognized by the academic community as the closest to the original, and is now in the collection of the Imperial Palace Museum.
Zhang Hong was the backbone of the Wumen painting circle in the late Ming Dynasty, and was respected by Wuzhong scholars. From Zhang Hong's "Imitation of Huang Gongwang Fuchun Mountain Residence", we can also see his superb painting skills, the brush and ink are sparse, and the charm is through. He is good at landscape painting, attaches great importance to sketching, and his pen is sharp, the ink is moist, and the mountains and ravines are deep. The combination of stone and surface staining is the characteristic of his paintings. Freehand characters, with visual expressions, and proper composition.
There is also a work by Shen Zhou, one of the four Ming families.
Shen Zhou's painting skills are comprehensive and simple, and on the basis of learning from the Song and Yuan dynasties, he has his own creation, and has developed the literati ink freehand landscape, flower and bird painting techniques, and has become the leader of the Wumen painting school. Some of the landscape paintings he made depict mountains and rivers, and the three distant scenes of traditional landscape paintings. Most of the works depict southern landscapes and garden scenes, expressing the leisure of the literati life at that time.
During the Ming Dynasty, the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" was passed to Shen Zhou. Since he got this treasure, Shen Zhou couldn't put it down, hung it on the wall, admired it repeatedly, copied it, looked at it, and saw something wrong: there was no celebrity inscription on the painting.
Shen Zhou was dazed by the idea of non-distinction for a while, he didn't think at all that such treasures would be hidden in the most hidden places, how could they be publicized in a big way? Sure enough, when Shen Zhou handed over the painting to a friend for inscription, something happened. The friend's son, seeing that the painting was so good, had a bad idea, secretly sold the painting, and said that the painting was stolen by someone.
By chance, Shen Zhou saw the sold "Fuchun Mountain Residence" at the art stall, and was very excited, and hurriedly ran home to raise money to buy the painting. When he raised the money and returned to the stall, the painting had already been bought. Shen Zhou beat his chest and cried loudly, but it was too late to regret it. The "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", which I worked so hard to get, now only the memories left in my mind remain. Shen Zhou was stunned by relying on his memory to copy a "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map".
The authentic work "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" lost by Shen Zhou was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news for a long time. Later, it appeared again and was collected by Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued......)
