Chapter 271: Master's Work

For famous Western painters, in addition to the three great Renaissance giants Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael, as well as Van Gogh and Picasso, Liu Dong is most familiar with this great Russian critical realist painter of the late 19th century - Ilya Efimovich Repin, his "Slender Man on the Volga" has appeared more than once in Liu Dong's textbooks when he was in school.

Hearing Liu Dong's question, the old man nodded, with a hint of memory on his face, "Well, this is Repin's painting, I remember that when I visited the Soviet Union with the chairman and the prime minister in 57, I was in Leningrad, oh, I almost forgot! Now it should be called St. Petersburg!"

"I saw this famous painting of Repin at the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, which reflects the story of the 16th ~ 18th century Chaporos rebelling against the Ottoman sultans, and I liked it at the time. So when I saw it in Panjiayuan in 89, although I knew it was a fake, I still bought it. ”

"Fake, this is a real Repin masterpiece!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart. However, he didn't tell Li Lao the truth, because he didn't know how to identify oil paintings, and he couldn't tell Li Lao that he had special abilities.

I don't think anyone will believe it.

"By the way, there are two more on the shelf over there, and I bought them together with this Repin forgery. Originally, I was going to sell only this one, but that guy didn't do it, so he had to sell it together, and I was left behind by my family for a long time!" There was a trace of chagrin on Old Li's face.

looked at Li Lao's appearance. Liu Dong couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, you bought it." Otherwise, Dabao will be gone!"

When Liu Dong looked at this famous work of Repin with his ability just now, the surrounding area was shrouded in the range of his relics ability within 20 meters, and the two intense white lights rising into the sky on the final display shelf were not inferior to this Repin's "The Chaporosh Man Wrote a Letter to the Sultan of Turkey", which should be a famous painting of the same grade.

"Raphael's "Wedding in the Town of Urbino"!" After the appraisal results came out in his mind, Liu Dong's hand with the painting couldn't help but tremble, and after taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down a little.

The painting is not decorated with a table. It was just rolled into a roll and placed on the exhibition shelf, so Liu Dong was extra careful at this moment, especially after knowing that this was the work of Raphael, one of the three masters of the Renaissance and known as the 'painting saint' in the history of Western painting, he was even more careful, and opened the canvas little by little.

The painting, which is about one meter wide and about six or seven meters long, is presented in front of Liu Dong's eyes, showing an antique European town, where dozens of people gather around to send blessings to the young men and women in the middle. It was a Christian wedding.

The picture is beautiful, elegant, harmonious, bright, and sharply tense. Full of three-dimensionality.

After a long time, Liu Dong reluctantly put down this Raphael's masterpiece and continued to look at the next one!

"Rembrandt, Amsterdam Morning!" After getting this identification result, Liu Dong's breathing became rapid again.

Rembrandt Hallmansson van Lein was one of the greatest European painters of the 17th century and the greatest painter in Dutch history. He has a wide range of painting genres, and is good at portrait painting, landscape painting, genre painting, religious painting, history painting, etc. The use of light in his paintings is most remarkable.

"Xiaodong, have you finished reading?" At this time, Elder Li asked beside him.

"I'm done!" After answering, Liu Dong reluctantly put away Rembrandt, "Morning in Amsterdam", which was no less big than Raphael's painting just now, and put it back on the shelf.

"After reading it, let's go out, I have something to say to you!" Li Lao beckoned.

"Oh!" Liu Dong reluctantly glanced at the rich treasures here, and then walked out behind Li Lao.

"What's the matter, look at you in a trance, what's wrong? You haven't woken up from my treasure house yet?" said the old man.

"Yes, your old treasure collection is nearly 4,000 pieces, and each piece is worth a lot of money, if only when, my collection would be so rich!" Although he said this, Liu Dong was still thinking about another thing. It is the three original works of Repin, Raphael and Rembrandt, and the combined value of these three paintings is definitely more than 200 million dollars, but the old man treats them as fakes and puts them in the treasure trove, if they are lost one day, it will be too tyrannical.

However, to put it bluntly, Liu Dong couldn't find an excuse for a while, and now he has just begun to learn orthodox antique appraisal, and now he doesn't even recognize all Chinese paintings, and he is even more blind to Western oil paintings.

However, at this time, Li Lao didn't know Liu Dong's thoughts.

"Hehe, you are still young, I believe there will be a day when you catch up with me! By the way, I just remembered after listening to your words, your kid has good eyesight, and his fate is not bad, have you received any good treasures recently?" asked Li Lao with a smile.

"Oh, some time ago, I received a piece of Ru kiln's azure glazed string pattern, and I was trying to ask you to help identify it, but I was too busy recently to delay ......!"

As a result, before Liu Dong finished speaking, he was interrupted by the anxious old man, "Ru kiln, the first of the five famous kilns?"

When he was in the treasure house just now, Liu Dong was going to tell Li Lao to come, so he didn't hide anything at the moment and nodded directly.

"So what are you waiting for, quick, let's go ......!"

Seeing Liu Dong nodding, Li Lao stood up, stretched out his hand to pull Liu Dong's arm, and pulled him outside.

"Hey, hey, old man, slow down, if you have a bump, I can't afford it, you slow down ......!"

However, this time Liu Dong's persuasion was destined to be useless, and the old man turned a deaf ear and just dragged him to bury his head and go.

After the two of them sat on the Land Rover that Liu Dong parked at the door, Liu Dong had the opportunity to ask: "Old man, do you believe that my Ru kiln ware is genuine?"

"Hehe, you kid has a relationship with Bao, and he has found a lot of good things during this time, so why should the old man go and take a look!"

After listening, Liu Dong smiled. It's already past seven o'clock in the evening, but the days are long in summer, so the surrounding streets are still very clear at the moment.

drove all the way to the downstairs of the community where Liu Dong lived, and after opening the door, Liu Dong deliberately glanced at the shoe rack at the door, and found that the slippers on it had not moved, Liu Dong understood that Wang Qiang had not come back yet.

"Old Li, you sit down and drink saliva first, and I'll take out the things for you. Liu Dong picked up a cup from the coffee table in front of the sofa, filled it with hot water from the water dispenser, and put it in Li Lao's hand and said.

"Okay, hurry up!"

"Hehe, no problem!"

As he spoke, Liu Dong walked into his bedroom, which has now become his workplace.

Looking back, after feeling that Li Lao's line of sight was no longer visible, Liu Dong's mind moved, and the 'Ru Kiln Azure Glazed String Pattern Zun' that was originally placed in the mustard seed space had already appeared in his hand.

Looking at this exquisite porcelain, Liu Dong thought for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he took out all the collections he now collected, including the earliest 'Ming Dynasty Wang Shuyuan, Octagonal Relic Pagoda' and the recently obtained 'Emperor's Treasure Chixiao Sword', a total of 16 large and small antiques, from the mustard seed space and put them on the iron bed where he originally slept, and now only the bed board remains.

Then he walked out with the Ru kiln azure glazed string pattern.

Seeing the porcelain in Liu Dong's hand, Li Lao's eyes lit up, and he stood up from the sofa with a 'Teng', staring straight at the Ru kiln azure glazed Xuanwenzun that was no more than 20 centimeters high, without blinking his eyes at all.

"Hurry up and put it on the table, slow down, slow down, don't touch it! Tap!" Li Lao watched Liu Dong's movements and explained without stopping.

It wasn't until Liu Dong put down the Ru kiln porcelain in his hand that Li Lao quickly took out gloves from his pocket and put them on himself, and then continued to take out a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight from his pocket, which are essential props for appraisers, and then looked at the Ru kiln azure glaze Xuan Wenzun that Liu Dong put on the table, little by little.

Noticing Li Lao's appearance, Liu Dong didn't speak, so he sat next to him and watched Li Lao's identification, he already knew that this Ru kiln was real, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and at this moment he thought about the three world famous paintings in Li Lao's treasure house.

Time passed little by little, and the look on Li Lao's face became more and more surprised.

"Blue as the sky, face as jade, morning stars as scarce, really Ru kiln porcelain!" After a long time, Li Lao put down the flashlight and magnifying glass, and sighed with satisfaction.

"Xiaodong, a piece of Ru kiln ware that our Li family has not collected for three generations, but let you, this kid, take the lead first!"

"Hehe, I also bought it from the antique street by chance!" Liu Dong then told him about his Depot, but some of the details were slightly modified and his abilities were hidden.

"Hey, you really don't have to say anything about your luck!"

Looking at Li Lao's shaking his head and sighing, Liu Dong couldn't help but muttered to himself: "Your old luck is really good, three world famous paintings will be available for 2,000 yuan!"

"Xiaodong, I don't know if you have any other good things here, take them out and show them to my old man!" Seeing this Ru kiln azure glazed Xuanwen Zun worth 10,000 gold, Li Lao became more and more interested in Liu Dong's collection.

"Actually, there aren't many things, since you always look at each other, then I'll show you!" Saying that, Liu Dong took Li Lao into his studio.

Li Lao, who had just entered the door, glanced at it and saw the antiques that Liu Dong had placed on the bed.

The old man was very discerning, and he fell in love with the Chixiao Sword that Liu Dong picked up at a glance.

"Choke!" the old man took the ancient sword in his hand and weighed it, and then looked at it repeatedly before slowly drawing the sword out of its sheath.

However, as soon as the sword was revealed, a cold murderous aura rushed to his face, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, at the moment when the Chixiao Sword was unsheathed, Liu Dong felt that the temperature around him dropped by one or two degrees. (To be continued......)
