Chapter 322 "Three Beautiful Gods"
………… Seeing that Liu Dong is not arrogant, respectful of the elderly, and humble and steady, Old Man Dong couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, for such a talented and gentleman-like junior, he likes it the most.
"Xiao Dong, I heard Xiao Fang say when he came back, the most precious things you have picked up and found are all held by yourself, should you take them out now to open the eyes of us old guys?" Dong Lao said with infinite anticipation in his words, looking at Liu Dong and said.
To be honest, after experiencing more than 100 antique appraisals that are all true, Dong Lao has no doubt about Liu Dong's appraisal level. Now he would like to see rare antiques come into play.
"Hehe, Old Man Dong, good things should be left for the end, so let's identify the things in front of us first!
After thinking for a while, the old man nodded, "Okay, just listen to you, otherwise after eating the big meal, there will be no desire to eat these desserts again!"
After Dong Lao finished speaking, Liu Dong nodded, and then motioned for Mu Gang to continue to start.
Then, the treasure appraisal that Liu Dong had interrupted after coming in just now started again. But fortunately, there was not much left, so after more than an hour, nearly 30 pieces of various antiques were identified separately, and this appraisal activity, which lasted for nearly six hours, almost came to an end.
Of course, there is still one thing left that has not been identified, that is, the authentic painting of Titian that Liu Dong bought.
"Uh-huh...... hu......h!
When Liu Dong removed the cover on the surface of the oil painting, the three naked women in the picture also appeared in front of everyone. Then a slight ripple rippled through the crowd.
Although everyone is learning antique identification. The receptivity is a little stronger than the average person. However, the influence of traditional Confucian ideas and concepts is still quite deep, so as soon as Liu Dong's painting appeared, most of the old men over fifty years old frowned.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Dong Lao, of course, there are a few, who should have studied this themselves, or they are studying oil painting.
"I got it from a shop on the antique street that specializes in oil paintings, I hope you can identify it!" Liu Dong held the 120-centimeter-tall frame. Said with a smile.
"Lao Xie, Lao Liu, you two are specialized in this, and you are also better at oil painting appraisal than me, you two come and see!" Although Dong Lao is a famous master of calligraphy and painting in China, he is a master of calligraphy and painting appraisal, but he is aimed at Chinese painting, and he is obviously not very proficient in Western oil painting.
And Dong Lao's words fell, and two old men over half a hundred years old with gray hair walked out of the crowd. Look at their expressions are slightly solemn, with a hint of excitement in their eyes. Obviously, he also discovered the extraordinaryness of Liu Dong's oil painting.
Then, after about a quarter of an hour, the two old men almost held up their magnifying glasses and looked at the oil painting inch by inch before they both stood up.
"Lao Liu, do you say, or do you say?" The old man surnamed Xie covered his chest, his face was flushed, and after taking two breaths of force, he said in a slightly hoarse voice.
But at this moment, who knows that this oil painting may have a great origin, because the excited expressions on the faces of these two old men have already explained it.
"Okay, then I'll say it!" After seeing his companion nod, Liu Laocai suppressed his excited tone and tried to calm himself down: "According to the layout and brushwork of this painting, as well as the dry and cracked pigment Cheng dù, as well as the quality of the canvas, as well as the natural aging of Cheng dù, we conclude that he should be a painting of the late Western Renaissance, and it is also one of the early masterpieces of Titian Vecellio, who is known as the 'father of Western oil painting' in the late Renaissance." ”
"As for the content of this painting, it should be the three beauty gods in Western mythology, the goddess of chastity, the god of beauty and the god of love......!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, interrupt!" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with eyes, wearing the same white shirt as Liu Dong, and with a bookish air on his body, like a teacher.
After noticing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, this man hurriedly said: "Liu Lao, as far as I know, isn't "The Three Beauties" Rubens's masterpiece?
Of course, this is also a question shared by all those who have some knowledge of Rubens's "Three Beauties" paintings.
In Liu Dong's painting, three naked Western women, one lying on the ground looking ahead, one bending over and turning his head to look to his left, the other standing, his left leg slightly cocked, his left hand resting on his shoulder, and his right hand hanging down naturally. If you draw a line in the direction in which the arms of the three gods are tilted, then it is almost a triangle. The background of the painting is a large tree with lush foliage, and then the perspective technique is used to reflect the blue sky and fields in the far distance on the left side of the picture, making the whole painting full of three-dimensional and spatial sense.
The three beauties in this painting do not match Rubens's "Three Beauties", but the three beauties are Western myths and legends, and many famous Western painters have a large number of oil paintings, prints and sculptures about them, and Titian is also one of them, among the Titian's paintings that have survived now, there are "Venus of Ubino", "Venus Asleep", and "The Adoration of Venus" And Titian, like Rubens, was once loved by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, during which he created a large number of portraits of the aristocracy, and the famous "Venus of Ubino" was born during this period. ”
"I believe that this oil painting of "Three Beauties" should be Titian's early works, and it is also one of his masterpieces!"
Although everyone is an appraiser specializing in ceramics, calligraphy and painting and other domestic artworks, they are no strangers to some Western oil painting masters, especially Titian, a famous figure in the late Renaissance who is known as the 'father of Western oil painting'.
I believe that if Liu Dong's authentic oil painting of Titian is auctioned, according to the previous 91 Christie's auction in London Titian's works of 11.9 million US dollars, then now Liu Dong's hand is at least tens of millions of dollars, if converted into RMB, more than 100 million!
Of course, if you add in the depreciation of the currency and the gradual increase in the price of art collection, the final transaction price will definitely be higher.
"Xiaodong, you've made a lot of money this time!" Wu Lao said with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Hehe, old man, you're wrong! I have no intention of selling any of the items here today, no matter how much money I have!" Liu Dong said categorically. He himself understands that if he doesn't make his words clear today, then when today's news spreads, the collectors who come to buy antiques will definitely be able to break through the door of his house.
Although, now just his words can't stop the next surging crowd of people, but I believe that there will always be some effect.
"Hey, young man, don't be so absolute, like we play collections, communicate with each other, in order to increase their knowledge, to increase their own appraisal level!" The person who spoke was an old man in his sixties, looking at the fiery eyes in his eyes, he knew that this old man must have aimed at his collection.
But there must be more than one person with this kind of thought, Liu Dong just smiled and didn't say anything. Anyway, he had already made up his mind to pay attention to it, except for the ones that were not in good condition, or the collection value was not too high, and the duplicate collections, he would never let out one of the others.
"Okay, let's continue to appreciate Liu Dong's other objects!" At this time, Dong Lao also noticed the fiery eyes of everyone, as well as the stubbornness in Liu Dong's eyes, so in order to avoid conflicts between the two sides, he wisely changed the topic.
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded, now he has faintly regretted this time to be in the limelight, this is really troublesome for himself, but now he is already difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only go down.
"It's a big deal that after today, tomorrow Lao Tzu will go to Qingdao, and when the limelight has passed, I'll come back!" Liu Dong thought in his heart, and then took out the Tang Dynasty Lei Gongqin, Jiuxiao Huanpei, who had been holding him in his arms!
"This is the 'Nine Heavens Ring Pei'?" Dong Lao looked at the guqin that Liu Dong placed on the table, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Like the thousand-year-old guqin of 'Nine Heavens Huanpei', Dong Lao has seen it more than once in the Forbidden City, and he can't know more about its appearance and characteristics.
"What? Tang Dynasty Lei's Qin - Jiuxiao Huanpei, really fake, isn't there only four of this Tang Qin handed down?"
"Jiuxiao Huanpei, if this piano is real, this is a great discovery that will shake the whole country!"
"Shake the whole country? Even if there is no such piano, with those priceless antiques that appear today, it is enough to shake it all! Moreover, Dong Lao has identified this Jiuxiao Huanpei as genuine, and this must be the fifth Lei Gongqin-Jiuxiao Huanpei was born!" ......
Dong Lao's words made the hall that was originally a little quiet immediately turn into a vegetable market. Everyone stepped forward to witness the true face of this famous piano through the ages!
"Liu Dong, you are really ......!!!" At this time, Dong Lao once again affirmed that this was the real Tang Dynasty famous piano - Jiuxiao Huanpei, Wu Lao looked at Liu Dong who was standing tall, and could no longer find an adjective to describe his shocking appearance today.
Looking at the complicated expression on Wu Lao's face, Liu Dong smiled faintly, at this time, it was superfluous to say anything, and the strong fact that people could no longer look directly at his appraisal talent.
"Don't, don't, don't! Why did you put it away, we haven't appreciated it enough!" About ten minutes later, when Liu Dong put away the Jiuxiao Huanpei, everyone at the scene stopped working.
However, Liu Dong didn't want them to continue watching, otherwise these people wouldn't be able to watch enough for an hour. It's past two o'clock now, and he still has the assessment of the next two levels, and he has to go to Dong Fugui's construction site at night, but he doesn't have much time to spend here. (To be continued......)
