The Xuande furnace is broken, including the shape, pulp, color, casting, wear and tear and many other aspects, if the color alone, it is generally divided into Buddha paper, chestnut shell, eggplant skin, tang pear, brown 5 colors, among which the color of Buddha paper is the most precious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Xuande furnace that Li Yi is holding in his hand is the most precious Buddha paper color among all colors, and the pulp is also quite natural and thick, and from the perspective of natural wear, it also looks like an old object with a history of hundreds of years.

However, compared to the preciousness of Xuande furnace, its market price has not been very high, the biggest reason is that the difficulty of identification is too great, often the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and after several arguments, no one dares to invest heavily in the collection for this.

Therefore, compared with other bronze ware, a Xuande furnace with a clear inheritance and excellent quality can be auctioned for 5 million soft sister coins, which is a very high price.

Li Yi saw this Xuande furnace, whether it is in terms of shape, or pulp, or even color, it is a very outstanding work, but I don't know if it is because of the above reasons, its price is only 380,000 euros, Li Yi feels that if this is really made in the Xuande period, buy it at this price, how to take advantage of it.

It's just that if he can see this, others should be able to see this, so this Xuande furnace probably still hides some problems that he hasn't been able to find.

Activating the Spirit Appreciation Card, he quickly got the answer, but this answer made him feel ridiculous, because he looked away, this was actually an imitation from the Daoguang period!

Shaking his head slightly, he didn't feel much disappointed and embarrassed, his identification technology was originally based on having a spirit card, through the identification of a large number of physical objects self-taught, for the bronze that has always been rarely seen, and it is the most difficult Xuande furnace in bronze, what is the great thing about occasionally looking away?

Putting the Xuande furnace back in its place, he saw that there was nothing particularly noteworthy on the Bogu shelf, so he quickly went through it with the spirit identification card, and then turned to face the wall between the two Bogu shelf.

On the huge wall, there are only two works hung in total, one should be quite popular with Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong Emperor Zhang Zhao's cursive five-word quatrain, but with Li Yi's eyesight, you can basically recognize at a glance that this is a modern imitation, but the author's cursive skills are quite profound, although it may not be first-class, but it should be no problem to barely squeeze into the list of masters.

Compared with this calligraphy, the green landscape with a length of more than 3 meters next to it is a bit timid. The level of the imitation author may be about the same as Li Yi, but not everyone has the skills and talent to control such a large-scale masterpiece, so it looks a bit nondescript. It's just that the painting is not signed, and the style is also plausible, and Li Yi didn't recognize whose work it was after looking at it for a long time.

However, this does not affect Li Yi's appreciation of these two works, because as an ancient painting, it involves the reason of preservation, and even if the merchants sell them, they often do not expose the authentic works to the public. In this case, they usually invite some unknown calligraphers and painters, and then hang their copied paintings on display, and when they meet insiders, if they are interested, they will naturally go to the boss to discuss.

"These two works, one is indeed a handwritten book of Zhang Zhao in the Qing Dynasty, and the other is anonymous, but it is suspected that Zhao Boju, a famous green landscape artist in the Southern Song Dynasty, is suspected to have been made by Zhao Boju, if Mr. Li is interested, please move to the VIP reception room, and I will let people bring the authentic works."

Zhang Zhao's work is also okay, if this green landscape is really made by Zhao Boju, it is still very collectible, so Li Yi didn't even think about it and asked Pat to quickly bring the real work, he wanted to take a closer look, if possible, even if he invested a lot of money, he would buy it.

Zhao Boju is a famous painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, with beautiful and delicate brushwork, elegant and rich colors, especially good at delicate and delicate style, and his younger brother Zhao Boqiao, who has led the new style of landscape painting in the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy for a long time.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the revival of green and heavy color landscape paintings, the most representative figures are Wang Ximeng and the Zhao brothers, Wang Ximeng's green landscape masterpiece, the horizontal axis length of nearly 12 meters "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is one of the top ten famous paintings in China.

As Zhao Boju, who was as famous as Wang Ximeng at that time, his masterpiece "Autumn Colors of Rivers and Mountains" is also very highly evaluated in the history of calligraphy and painting, and "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is recognized as one of the two most representative green landscape paintings that have been handed down in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Without much delay, Pat sent the two works to the VIP room, Li Yi first opened Zhang Zhao's work and took a look, and then carefully took the green landscape into his hands.

As the scroll slowly opened, a long scroll of mountains and rivers with dense peaks and mountains slowly unfolded in front of his eyes. But seeing the lofty mountains, scattered and continuous like dragon veins, ups and downs, opening and closing, as if the Tao has exhausted the true meaning of the painting of virtual and real, this is indeed a rare masterpiece.

"This painting, with its precise style, gorgeous and harmonious colors, and rigorous discipline, is indeed a bit like Zhao Boju's work...... But if you look closely, the forest is far away from the trees, the flat is far and deep, and there is a bland and innocent feeling hidden in it, but Zhao Boju can't paint this style......"

Li Yi carefully browsed the lakes and mountains in the painting, and secretly opened the spirit card. A cold air flowed through, his eyes widened slightly, and then returned to normal, this painting is actually more than a hundred years earlier than Zhao Boju, and it is also a "Autumn Mountain Scene" by Dong Yuan, a painter of the fifth generation of the Southern Tang Dynasty!

Rubbing his chin, Li Yi felt a little surprised, because Dong Yuan is the originator of the southern school of landscape painting, and most of his landscape paintings are painted with real scenes in the south of the Yangtze River, but the mountains and rivers depicted in this painting are more like majestic northern landscapes, what is going on?

But no matter what's going on, the spirit card will not go wrong, and Li Yi, who was thinking about whose style this is, slowly found the faint style of "not pretending to be funny, all naïve" in the picture, so the more I look at it, the more I feel that this should be Dong Ran's work.

Compared with Zhao Boju, Dong Ran's status in the history of Chinese painting is much higher, and he definitely belongs to the kind of first-class figure who pioneered the mountain.

Dong Ran's new style of ink landscape painting created by Dong Ran not only got the followers of the monk Juran, the world called the two Dong Ju, and the four families of the late Yuan Dynasty and the Wu sect of the Ming Dynasty regarded him as a model, the painter of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, one of the "four kings" Wang Jian even commented publicly, saying that "the painting has Dong Ju, such as the book has Zhong Wang, and this is the outer way." ”

Like Dong Yuan, it is very rare in the history of Chinese landscape painting to have such a far-reaching impact on later generations. It's just that because of the long time ago this year, his works are very rare, and there are only four that can be confirmed at present, and like this one, the brushwork of the southern school to paint the northern landscape is even more unseen and unheard of, Li Yi believes that if this painting is taken back to China, it will definitely cause a sensation within a certain range.

"Pat, how are you going to sell this painting?"

Although he didn't know how high Li Yi's level of appreciation was, observing the buyer's expression and emotions was a necessary quality for a business, so although Li Yi didn't show much clues, he faintly saw that Li Yi attached great importance to the painting.

"Whether it is Zhao Boju's work or not, this painting is a rare masterpiece, presumably Mr. Li Yi will not have too many opinions, so let's do it, 8 million euros, I don't know what Mr. Li Yi thinks?"

8 million euros? Li Yi frowned slowly, and his face naturally showed an expression of embarrassment.

Although this painting is an anonymous work, it is like a big door in an antique, as soon as you open the scroll, the kind of everyone's bearing in the picture will come to your face, and you can't stop it.

He judged at the time that it could not be too cheap, but this price was still a bit unexpected to him, he originally thought that Pat's offer should be around 4 million, but he didn't expect it to double all at once, and now, things may be a little difficult.

Of course, being able to buy a large-scale work of Dong Yuan for 8 million euros is almost clear to everyone who knows a little about the ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy market, but Li Yi is thinking more about the follow-up deal with Rogov and the friends he is going to introduce to him.

Yes, he did give in to this painting, because the real value of this painting is likely to be a sky-high price, but even if he gives in, he must not let Pat see his true thoughts, otherwise the transaction will not be easy to handle.

Li Yi lowered his head silently, seemingly considering Pat's offer, but in fact, he was estimating the true value of the painting, and also exerting a little pressure on Pat.

At present, the auction record holder of ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy in the market is Huang Tingjian's calligraphy work "Pillar Inscription", which was auctioned for a sky-high price of 436.8 million yuan in 2010. In second place is Wang Meng, the head of the four Yuan families, "Zhichuan Migration Map", the price is as high as 402.5 million yuan soft sister coins, and then the works are almost rarely more than 100 million yuan sold, which also causes a situation in which modern calligraphy and painting works on the market crush ancient works, but the actual situation is not the case.

The actual situation is that because of the invasion of foreign countries in the Yuan and Qing dynasties in Chinese history, there has been a great break in the culture of the Han nation, and there will be turmoil in the last years of each dynasty, and in modern times, there are opium wars, invasions of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and wars that have greatly damaged the inheritance of cultural relics, so the works of everyone who can be handed down in their entirety are very rare, and most of them are collected by museums at all levels, and it is impossible to circulate at all, which has caused the current situation.

Li Yi estimates that if the masterpieces of Fan Kuan, Huang Gongwang, Li Cheng and others can be put up for auction, even if the transaction price does not reach 400 million, it will definitely not be low, not to mention the works of Zhong Xuan, Wang Xizhi, Gu Kaizhi, and Yan Liben.

Obviously, Dong Yuan is at least a figure on par with Wang Meng, and the size of this work is so huge, its specific value is even more difficult to estimate.

"Mr. Li Yi?"

Seeing that Li Yi didn't speak for a long time, Pat was a little out of breath.

"Oh, sorry, I just remembered something else."

Li Yi made an embarrassed look, looking like he didn't take the painting to heart.

"Pat, let's put it this way, the most important factor in determining the price of a painting and calligraphy work should be its author, followed by the quality, size, age and other factors of the painting, and as an anonymous work, although this painting looks a bit like Zhao Boju's work, but this is only a bit like, and I believe that you should also ask some experts to see it...... So I think the normal price of this painting should be around 3 million. ”

"Oh, Mr. Li Yi, I think you must be joking with me, aren't you? Even people like me, who don't have any foundation in Chinese painting, can see the excellence of this work, so your price is ......."

Pat shook his head regretfully, but there was a hint of joy in his heart, his estimate of this painting was actually only about 3 million, but he could see from the transaction between Li Yi and Rogov that this young man should be very rich, and he had a possessive desire for some exquisite antiques that ordinary people did not have, so he decided to take a gamble, but Li Yi's first counteroffer met his previous expectations, how could he easily give in?

"Of course, this painting is really good, and it is because it is so good that I am willing to pay 3 million euros, and I am definitely not the first person to bid for this painting, so I would like to ask you to think about it carefully, this price is really not low."

"Excellent works should have excellent prices, so let's do it, Mr. Li Yi, 7.6 million, this price is already very sincere."

5% is sincere? Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, suddenly he missed Tan Moxuan very much, if this guy was here, he probably wouldn't be so embarrassed.

In fact, although Li Yi bought a lot of antiques before, most of them were leaks, even if there were some regular-priced transactions, they were all antiques for antiques, and every time he still had what others wanted, he always had the upper hand, so he rarely experienced difficult bargaining.

It's just that this time it's really a little different, he didn't realize that the deal he made with Rogov just now would make Pat see the opportunity, and he quoted him a sky-high price at once, and the value of this painting made him a little bit of a gain and loss, and he didn't know what to do with it for a while.
