Chapter 676: First in the Sea
PS: Three more votes, everyone support it.
Of course, for connoisseurs, the inscription is one of the important bases for studying the authenticity of the work, and it cannot be ignored.
Now Wang Guan is studying the text, and the first thing he sees is Huang Gongwang's own inscription, a long text, which briefly introduces some situations, pointing out that this painting may be coveted, and then cleverly seize it......
Having said that, Huang Gongwang was really prescient and knew what the level of his painting was. It has been more than 700 years since the painting was painted, and I don't know how many legends have happened around this painting, and it is still widely recited until now.
To get back to the point, judging from the text of the inscription, the person who copied the work should also be relatively level. Anyway, in Wang's view, these words are written well, even if they are not famous masters, at least they belong to a relatively high level.
After the inscription, it is the landscape landscape. The peaks and mountains are stacked and green, the turquoise stone is quite beautiful, the Shating cottage, the layout is dense and compact, the changes are endless, it is indeed the landscape of Fuchun River.
The reason for emphasizing this point is that there are some fakes, which are purely fictitious.
There is no such thing in history, but he made it up, and the dead duck refused to admit that it was fake, and found many excuses for himself, and even asked people to come up with fake evidence, which really made people speechless.
Therefore, not to mention the authenticity of this work, first of all, people are very sincere, correct their attitude, and copy seriously, which is very worthy of recognition.
Moreover, from these landscapes, Wang Guan can also feel the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and the vegetation and trees. The first impression was good, that the painting should be an ancient imitation, not a modern fake.
In fact, there are many copies of Fuchun Mountain residence maps in modern times, and they have a very high level and are quite collectible. However, if the modern works are made old and sold according to the ancient ones, then they can only be classified as fakes.
However, Wang Guan studied it carefully for a long time. It was found that there was no trace of aging in this work, and the color was relatively dark, simple and natural, which also showed that Jia Qin did not lie, and it is very likely that this painting is an imitation of the Qing Dynasty.
After carefully browsing the whole picture, Wang Guan's gaze fell on the lower left of the long scroll. Generally speaking, as long as it is not deliberately forged, then even if it is an imitation, it will leave a copy of the author's name, so that people can clearly know that it is an imitation.
Apparently. The same is true of this work, where the copyist not only writes down the pen, but also affixes a seal.
"Wumu Mountain ......" At first glance, Wang Guan frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, he vaguely felt that this name was somewhat familiar.
I also want to complain here that the ancient literati had a bad habit, especially the literati and celebrities after the Song Dynasty, who always liked to constantly change their names. Almost every different stage of life. You have to change your name.
Note that this is a name, not a name. The ancients made a very clear distinction between names, characters, and numbers. Names and characters are generally not changed. But the number is like clothes, changing every day.
In the case of Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi, there are countless names used in their lifetimes, if not carefully studied. Ordinary people can't list it at all. Of course, they don't do this for the sake of being different. The main thing is to prevent others from forging their own works. Every once in a while, a new batch of seals is renewed, which is equivalent to the current anti-counterfeiting mark.
Speaking of which, this is also understandable, but it is difficult for future generations who study their works.
Anyway, in order to memorize the names of the famous masters of the past dynasties, Wang Guan usually put in a lot of effort, so after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly showed a surprised expression: "One of the four kings of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Hui." ”
For his memory, Wang Guan is still relatively confident. It is a work of the Qing Dynasty again, and there is a model of Wumu Mountain people, except for Wang Hui, one of the four kings in the early Qing Dynasty, he really can't think of anyone.
However, Wang Guan is not very sure, because Wang Fei's number is quite a lot, such as smokers, smokers, smokers, cultivators, Wumu Mountain people, Jianmen woodcutters, Qinghui masters, and Yushan people......
However, these are not the point, the point is that Wang Hui did copy the Fuchun Mountain residence map, and more importantly, his imitation has also been recognized by the world, which is a very precious copy.
There is a certain reason why it is precious. The name Wang Hui, except for more professional people, it is estimated that ordinary people don't know him, anyway, he is definitely not as famous as Tang Bohu.
However, in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy, Wang Hui belongs to a leading figure of a school of painting.
He was born into a family of literati, loved painting when he was a child, and because of his poor family, he copied ancient paintings for art dealers and sold them. Therefore, he copied many famous relics of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and took the Song and Yuan dynasties, and appreciated and copied the traditional ancient paintings. Since the Song Dynasty, many lost ancient paintings have often been handed down through his copying.
There are many works of famous artists who have copied them, and Wang Hui has also learned from the strengths of others, and slowly has his own unique style. His landscape paintings, with his skillful brushwork and profound skills, were praised as the first in China by the contemporaries. Moreover, the style of painting has influenced the painting world for hundreds of years, and it is respected as the culmination of traditional brushwork in the Qing Dynasty.
As for Wang Hui's painting school, it is the Yushan School, one of the main schools of Chinese painting. The purpose of the painting school is to imitate the style of the ancients, and its influence in the Qing Dynasty is very great, and Huang Gongwang is respected as the ancestor of the foundation by the disciples of the Yushan school.
In this case, it is also a matter of course for Wang Hui to copy Huang Gongwang's works. According to historical records, he once lived in Fuchun Mountain three times, and because the imitation was extremely realistic, the copy was coaxed by the world.
There is no clear clue about the whereabouts of these three imitations, but it is said that one of them was lost overseas, and as for the other two, no one can say at all. Unexpectedly, one of them actually appeared here.
For a while, Wang Guan naturally had some surprises.
"The eyesight is really good."
At the same time, Jia Qin smiled and said: "This is indeed Wang Hui's imitation, and you are an expert in the value of it, so I guess I don't need to bother with it." In a word, I brought something, can you accept it? ”
"Hehe, let me see again." Wang Guan smiled, and did not rush to a conclusion.
If the work is really Wang Hui's authentic work, then as long as the price is right, it will definitely be accepted. If the work is an imitation of imitations, then it is not necessarily bothersome.
Thinking of this, Wang Guan continued to identify, repeatedly studied for a long time, and waited until he had a preliminary judgment in his heart, and then used his ability to confirm. After all, things are precious, and there must be no mistakes, and nothing goes wrong.
At first glance, a touch of apricot yellow light appears in the air, and it is certain that it is genuine.
Seeing this situation, Wang Guan smiled with satisfaction, nodded directly and said: "Accept, we open the door to do business, as long as Mr. Jia is willing to cut love, we have no reason not to accept it." But the ugly thing is that in terms of price, it must be lower than the market price. ”
"I understand this." Jia Qin nodded lightly and stretched out a finger: "Ten million." ”
This price is not very expensive, you must know that at a big auction last year, a picture of Dong Qichang's imitation of Huang Gongwang Fuchun Mountain Residence was auctioned, and the final transaction was as high as 60 million. As a painting saint of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Hui, his imitation price of 10 million is not a lion's mouth.
"It's too high." However, Wang Guan didn't think about it, and directly came to cut it in half: "Five million." ”
"The price is too ruthless, you are not sincere." Jia Qin said unhappily: "If it weren't for an acquaintance's introduction, saying that you are more refreshing, I wouldn't have come to you, but to Rong Bao Zhai." ”
"Oh." When Wang Guan heard this, he was also a little curious: "Who introduced you here?" ”
"Old Chen."
Jia Qin didn't hide it either: "He said that although you are young, you don't pay attention to fame and fortune, and you haven't been infected with the bad habits of antique profiteers, and now it seems that he was wrong." ”
"Old Chen?" Wang Guan was naturally a little surprised, he really didn't expect that it was introduced by Chen Lao, but from this it can also be seen the importance of network accumulation. Sometimes it's just a word from someone else, and maybe it can make a big deal.
"Since it's Old Chen's friend, you should have said it earlier."
Immediately, Wang Guan smiled and took the initiative to raise the price: "Seven million, this is the bottom line, even if you take it to Rong Bao Zhai, it is estimated that it will be such a price." Of course, if you're not in a hurry, you can take it for auction and maybe get more money. ”
"Just put it on the auction, I don't have that much spare time." Jia Qin thought about it, nodded directly, and said, "Okay, just do as you say." ”
It's a matter of words, but you can't be hasty when it comes to real dealing. It is basic to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and also sign a transfer agreement, so as not to regret it afterwards and cause any twists and turns.
However, this kind of trivial matter does not need Wang Guan to take the horse, and the guy is cleverly prepared.
Soon after, Wang Guan and Jia Qin signed two contracts each, and each kept one. Then Wang Guan transferred the money, and after only a few minutes, the money was transferred to Jia Qin's bank account.
After receiving the prompt text message, Jia Qin nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "You are a good person, if you have enough funds on hand, you can come to my house tomorrow." ”
While speaking, Jia Qin said the address of her house and left. At the same time, Wang Guan thought about it, and suddenly sighed softly, his expression a little melancholy.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Baye Ye was very puzzled: "I just negotiated a big business, I should be happy, why did I sigh instead." ”
"You don't understand ......"
Wang Guan didn't explain, and then said with a smile: "Forget it, don't worry about other people's affairs." I left, got a nice thing, and went back to give Qian Lao a look. ”
Under Wang Guan's greeting, Baye didn't ask any more questions, and then left the Gleaning Pavilion directly under the farewell of his guys, and returned to the mansion soon after.
At this time, Qian Lao was reading a book under the grape shed, sitting on a rocking chair, enjoying the shade, which was very comfortable. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up at random, found the scroll in Wang Guan's hand, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately sat up, chuckling: "Okay, I just went out once, and I brought back some treasures?" ”
"Nice baby indeed."
Wang Guan smiled and said: "I bought it for seven million, and I want to ask you to help see if the money is well spent." (To be continued.) )
