Chapter 669: Two Mozart's Originals!
……
With a happy expression, he took the check handed over by Liu Dong, and then noticed that the other party looked like he was not bad for money, Old Ace rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "Liu, now we can be regarded as friends between us, I don't want more from you, 800,000 euros, you can take this bronze sculpture!" ”
"800,000 euros?"
Liu Dong's eyes flashed with joy, although he knew that the old Ace must have asked for a lot more, but compared to a masterpiece of a famous sculptor in BC, this amount of money could not be compared with its value at all!
Although he was willing to do so, Liu Dong pretended to hesitate before writing a check for 800,000 euros and handing it to the other party.
"Hehe, Liu, you are still as generous as ever!"
Old Ace is very happy in his heart at the moment, the intuitive Liu Dong is his lucky star, and it has been less than a week since he contacted Liu Dong, and he has already earned more than 5 million euros, almost higher than his income last year.
Looking at the excited face of Old Ace, Liu Dong smiled faintly, but the value of a Milon bronze sculpture is far more than all his expenses here in Old Ace, if Liu Dong is willing to auction, I am afraid that the auction price of hundreds of millions of dollars is not false!
With the help of Lao Ace, after putting the seven antiques he bought into the car, Liu Dong quickly drove back to the hotel.
"Liu Dong, we'll visit the Van Gogh Museum later. Are you going? "Come into the hallway. Liu Dong, who was about to go back to the room, ran into Fang Zhonghua.
"I'll go. When you're leaving, you call me! ”
He has long been known for Van Gogh, a world-renowned art master, and it has always been Liu Dong's long-cherished wish to be able to see many of his authentic works with his own eyes, after all, he is also proficient in oil painting under the influence of his mother.
"Okay, we'll leave in about half an hour, you can prepare first!" Fang Zhonghua Road.
"Got it!"
After agreeing, Liu Dong pushed open the door and went back to his room.
Go to the living room and sit down, stretching out your right hand. The melon-style piano that he had just brought back from Lao Ace appeared in Liu Dong's hand, and after turning it in his hand, his heart moved, and a linoleum brown paper package about one finger thick and the size equivalent to a middle school Chinese textbook appeared in Liu Dong's hand.
And this thing is the culprit that made this precious melon-style piano lose its original tone, and Liu Dong also used relics to discover the package hidden inside the violin at that time.
After putting the violin aside, Liu Dong took a carving knife and opened the wax layer on the package, revealing the faintly yellowed paper, which was fortunately well preserved. There are no signs of damage on the paper, just because of the time. It's already getting brittle.
In order not to damage these papers, Liu Dong consumed the relics Yuanguang to repair them as a whole, and then carefully lifted a layer of white paper covered by the surface, and the back was a piece of paper full of German, fortunately, Liu Dong was not a stranger to German, and quickly recognized the content on the paper.
"Treatise on the Fundamentals of Violin Performance", by Leopold. Mozart! Seeing this line, Liu Dong couldn't help but get excited, and everything was exactly as he had guessed before, these papers were none other than the German composer, conductor, music teacher and violinist Leopold. The original manuscript of Mozart's "Treatise on the Fundamentals of Violin Performance"!
And the German musician also has a son who is famous all over the world and is known as one of the greatest classical musicians in Europe. Amadeus. Mozart!
Because of his sister's relationship, Liu Dong is very familiar with the repertoire of this great musician, such as "Serenade" and "Turkish March".
What excites Liu Dong is that in addition to the original manuscript of "Essays on the Basic Principles of Violin Performance", there are also the original manuscripts of three violin pieces by the elder Mozart and the original manuscripts of five piano pieces by Mozart Jr. behind these manuscripts, but two of them are incomplete, I don't know if they were not finished or lost!
But no matter what, these manuscripts are still of great value, and any one taken out is worth a thousand gold.
"Knock knock, Xiaodong, are you okay? We're about to go! ”
"Oh, alright, I'll do it!" didn't bother to look at it carefully, Liu Dong hurriedly sorted out the manuscript, and then put it into the mustard seed space with the violin.
"Why are you so happy that you can't close your mouth?" Fang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Of course, I was happy to receive the precious music manuscripts of the two Mozartes, but it was not suitable to say to Fang Zhonghua for the time being, "Isn't this the thought of visiting the Van Gogh Museum?" I've been interested in the paintings of this famous oil painter before, and now I have the opportunity to see them, and of course I'm happy! ”
"Really?" Fang Zhonghua expressed Yan zhòng's suspicions.
"Okay, let's go, the two of us are the youngest in the meeting, don't let these old men wait for us, or we will cause a lot of complaints!" Without waiting for Fang Zhonghua to speak, Liu Dong took his arm and walked out of the elevator.
……
The Van Gogh Museum was built in 1973 and is located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The museum has 200 of Van Gogh's most precious paintings from his golden period, accounting for 1/4 of his works. Hundreds of sketches (some say thousands), as well as almost all of Van Gogh's letters, are noted, the most well-known of which are "flocks of pigeons" and "sunflowers".
The museum also houses the collection of Japanese ukiyo-e paintings by Van Gogh and his brother Theo, as well as works by other painters, such as Van Gogh's portraits by Gauguin and Lautrec, and self-portraits by Gauguin and Bernard.
Although the collection is less than 10,000 pieces, relying on Van Gogh's popularity around the world, the number of people who visit here every year is still in the millions, which is not inferior to the large national museums.
When Liu Dong and his entourage came here, there was already a long queue in front of the ticket window of the art museum, but fortunately, Liu Dong and his party had already bought tickets in advance, otherwise they would have to wait for an hour or two just in line.
Entering through the doorway, you will be greeted by a giant Van Gogh self-portrait, which of course is only an enlarged copy of the original!
After entering the door, go to the left, follow the signs, Liu Dong and his party easily found the display area of Van Gogh's paintings, "Sunflowers", "The Wheat Field with Crows Flying Wildly", "Girl Giachet in the Courtyard", "A Flock of Pigeons", etc., a number of famous Van Gogh paintings that have been praised by the world have passed in front of Liu Dong's eyes one by one, from these paintings, Liu Dong has appreciated the twists and turns of this great painter's mental journey and superb painting skills more than 100 years ago!
Painting is the artist's extraction of reality and the re-expression of artistic processing, which is the embodiment of the most primitive feelings in the artist's heart!
Also as a painter, Liu Dong can feel the feelings that Van Gogh wants to express in each painting.
Time passed, and the visit to the museum came to an end.
Liu ...... Liu Dong? ”
The familiar and unfamiliar crisp voice made Liu Dong wake up from the wonderful artistic conception of the painting.
Turning around, not far away, a beautiful woman with long hair and a shawl, tall figure, a white dress, delicate facial features, and a pure and intellectual temperament made Liu Dong stunned, looking at the other party's familiar and unfamiliar beautiful face, a scene of sweet and youthful memories crossed Liu Dong's mind!
"Mei Xue!"
Facing his first love in high school, Liu Dong's mood is very complicated, including the joy after the reunion, and the sigh of a weak friendship after many years of separation.
"I didn't expect it to be you!"
Looking at the person in front of him, he is tall, with a white shirt on his upper body and a pair of black trousers on his lower body, with a mature and stable temperament, just like the first love of a successful person in society, Mei Xue's heart is just as complicated.
In the past four years, she has never forgotten the figure of this person, but compared to the boy who was blushing and stubborn in the face of her first love, she has now transformed into a mature and stable man!
"Maybe he should have a new girlfriend, or get married!" Thinking of this, Mei Xue's heart couldn't help but become sour.
"It's me, this ...... How have you been doing all these years? For a moment, Liu Dong had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start in the face of the beauty, and after hesitating, he said softly.
"I've only been in college for four years, and my life is as dull as water, and there's nothing to write about, what about you? I think you've had a lot of fun over the years, right? "Mei Xue Road.
"I'm okay, by the way, I heard them say, didn't you go to university in the UK? Why is it here now? After chatting a few words, Liu Dong's mood gradually stabilized.
"Now that I'm on summer vacation, I'll come to the Netherlands with my classmates to play!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong also noticed the beautiful blonde girl in a pink shirt next to Mei Xue!
Because Liu Dong Meixue used her mother tongue in the conversation just now, the other party didn't understand what they were talking about just now! However, from the expressions between the two, the blonde girl also had a rough guess!
"Xue, why don't you introduce me to this friend of yours?" The other party used pure English.
"Oh, Liu Dong, let me introduce you, this is my good friend at Oxford, Alyssa! …… Elisa, this is my high school classmate, Liu Dong! ”
"Hello!"
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Liu Dongdao.
After briefly shaking hands with Liu Dong, Alisa glanced at Liu Dong in surprise and said, "Your English is very pure!" ”
"Thank you!"
With an almost unforgettable memory, it is very easy for Liu Dong to master a language.
"I know there's a very nice Chinese restaurant around here, how about I treat you to dinner?" Because the museum needs to be quiet, Liu Dong will not talk much here.
It just so happened that it was almost noon, and eating and chatting was exactly what it should be.
In the face of Liu Dong's invitation, Mei Xue agreed without thinking about it, she had imagined today's reunion countless times, and she wanted to know all of Liu Dong's experiences in the past four years.
