Generally speaking, the value of a painting or calligraphy, even if it is genuine, mainly depends on who the author is. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and after the author is determined, it often depends on how much thought he has spent on the painting, whether it is a work of his mature period, whether it is what he is good at and how much size it is, and so on.

Based on Dong Qichang's position in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy, as well as his ancient era, it stands to reason that even small-scale entertainment works, as long as they reach a certain level, should be very collectible, but he is an exception

According to historical records, Dong Qichang is a very prolific calligrapher and painter, which can also be seen from the number of works that have been handed down to this day, but the problem lies in the number of works that surpass ordinary people.

Dong Qichang was very famous during his lifetime, and there were many people who admired his paintings, so many of his paintings were for entertainment, and even many times he would directly find someone to write things, and these related records seriously affected the value of his calligraphy and painting works.

Moreover, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it was the period when calligraphy and painting were flooded, and as a famous calligraphy and painting masterpiece at that time, Dong Qichang's works were very popular in the market, so they became the hardest hit area for forgery. However, in order to promote his reputation, this guy's attitude towards these forgeries is also resigned, and these works, after hundreds of years of precipitation, to this day, many of them are difficult to distinguish the authenticity, which is also an important reason why the price of his works has not been able to rise.

"The price of Dong Qichang's works is generally low, but it does not mean that there is no collection value, but it is too affected by ghostwriting and forgery. In fact, once it can be determined that it is indeed Dong Qichang's authentic work, its price is still very amazing, just like the handscroll of "Sparse Forest Thatched House" that set an auction record for his works, and the transaction price is as high as more than 69 million soft sister coins, and the size of that painting, it seems that there is no such ......"

Obviously, Luo Guofu has also worked hard in this regard, but this will not affect Li Yi at all, not to mention how much water is in 69 million, just as far as the work in front of him is concerned, it is difficult to say whether it is true or false, let alone anything else.

The third is also a landscape work, the author is the work of Wang Hui, a famous landscape artist in the Qing Dynasty and known as the "saint of painting in the early Qing Dynasty".

Wang Hui studied under Wang Shimin and Wang Jian, but he was better than the blue, not only with the two masters and Wang Yuanqi as the "four kings" of landscape painters, but also with the potential to lead the army.

It's just that in terms of fame and the quality of his works, Wang Hui can't compare with giants such as Dong Qichang and Huang Gongwang, and it's a photo rather than a real work, so Li Yi just jumped over after just a few glances.

Fourth, fifth...... Because they are all photos, and there are no particularly famous masterpieces, Li Yi just briefly looks at each picture, and then pays attention to the author and hurriedly flips through it. After seeing more than 30 of them, he let out a soft sigh and slowed down.

What caught his attention was an anonymous work. Anonymous, that is, it is impossible to determine the author, this type of work occupies a considerable proportion of small-scale ancient paintings, and there are many excellent works among them.

The theme of this work that caught Li Yi's attention is the scene of literati cooling off in a small pavilion on a pond full of lotus leaves.

The introduction information next to the photo shows that this should be an anonymous ancient painting of the Song Dynasty, but after Li Yi carefully looked at the painting style, he suspected that this painting was likely to be Li Tang's work, and even if it was not, it could be an imitation of his disciples or other masters, in short, this painting should have a high collection value.

"Can you bring everything in this catalogue to Paris?"

Porcelain is okay, a lot of them are some big doors, even if you look at the photos, you can see eight. Nine is not far from ten. On the one hand, the size of the photo is too small, and many details are not very clear, and secondly, if you only look at the photo, you can't appreciate the artistic conception in the painting at all, Li Yi has been able to barely endure it before, but after seeing this anonymous painting of the Song Dynasty, he felt that if he couldn't see the real thing, this catalog, it was really better not to look at it, because he was too anxious.

"If it's not a lot, it's fine, but I recommend that if you have time, it's best to go to Moscow in person, because these are only a small part of my collection...... Well, about a fifth. ”

Fifth? Li Yi shook his head speechlessly, this news is really shocking.

"In that case, then I simply won't watch it, when will you go back to Russia? If I'm back soon, I should be able to go on a run with you. ”

"yes, that's great news! Why don't we wait for the show to end and go? ”

The end of the show? Li Yi calculated the days, today is the third day of the Biennale, and he will have to stay here for five days until the end of the exhibition, and the painting exhibition of Shi Chongxuan, who he met during the previous calligraphy and painting competition, is ten days later.

"Well, that's right, I received an invitation half a year ago to attend the opening ceremony of a friend's gallery in a few days, in your Chinese words, they are our food and clothing, so ......"

Li Yi shrugged his shoulders and didn't pay attention to this guy's nondescript analogy, but Luo Guofu's words did remind him that if he only bought it with financial resources, I am afraid that Luo Guofu's collection alone would be enough to make him bankrupt, and this was on the premise that others were willing to exchange with him.

Compared with this trading model, cultural relics for cultural relics is undoubtedly the best and cheapest one, but if you want to promote this model, you must have a certain number of Western antiques in your hands, and they must all be high-quality products, which may be difficult for other appraisers, but for Li Yi, as long as there is, as long as he wants, it is not particularly embarrassing to find some big leaks that will surprise people's eyes.

After making an appointment with Rogov, Li Yi got up to say goodbye, but when he said goodbye, Rogov's friend kindly invited him to visit his antique shop, but he didn't know that he had inadvertently invited a robber...... (To be continued.) )
