Chapter 710: A facsimile of "Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Map".
The dimension of Paris is much higher than that of Beijing, and even much higher than that of Harbin. However www.biquge.info Yanjing belongs to the temperate continental climate zone, and is next to the Mongolian Plateau, the climate is relatively dry, and the annual temperature difference is relatively large; while Paris belongs to the temperate oceanic climate zone, affected by the Atlantic monsoon, it is not as dry as Yanjing on the edge of the Mongolian Plateau, and the temperature difference is relatively small throughout the year;
So on the streets of Paris in December, you can't see any bloated clothes, and here, just a thin cashmere sweater is enough to withstand the winter cold.
When Li Yi and the others arrived, Luo Guofu was already waiting for them in the hotel, and after a brief acquaintance, Luo Guofu directly expressed his worries.
"Boss, I've been in contact with François a few more times these days, and it's very difficult to do, and his price is very biting, so I think if you just use that painting of 'Water Lilies', you may not be able to exchange it for what you want."
Li Yi nodded, the estimated price of "Water Lilies" is only 40 million US dollars, but it is just an acupuncture bronze man, François bit 100 million, the gap between the two sides is a bit big, but ......
He dragged his travel bag, took out a flat wooden box from it and handed it to Rogov, then looked at him with a smile,
"If you were to change to this painting, how likely do you think the deal would be successful?"
Luo Guofu first glanced at Li Yi suspiciously, his determined expression made his heart skip a beat, and then carefully opened the package and took out a canvas oil painting that looked like it was some years old.
"Oh...... No, oh buy ga, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible! ”
At the first sight of the oil painting, Rogov was stunned, and when he saw the inscription in the lower left corner of the oil painting, he felt even more bad. Li Yi is this guy, it's just amazing, he seems to have an inexhaustible treasure trove, whenever he needs it, he takes out a treasure from it, and every treasure is that kind of world-famous treasure, oh buy ga, how is this possible?!
"Nothing is impossible, the cultural relics lost by us in Huaxia are tens of millions of magnitudes, where are you going!"
"Uh...... Well, are you sure you want to trade this work with François? ”
"That's right, the two of you are jointly responsible for this negotiation, and the owner of this oil painting is not me, but Lao Tan, and I am just an appraiser who will help you identify the authenticity of cultural relics. Moreover, this time I also have a request, this painting should not only be able to exchange the tiger scum, acupuncture bronze man, pure magic spear and other things that must be in hand, but also exchange as many things as possible, even if the value is relatively low, it doesn't matter. ”
Seeing that Luo Guofu was a little confused, Tan Moxuan smiled and explained:
"Mr. Li has decided to build a museum in China, but the number of collections is still lacking, so we want to exchange as many things as possible this time. And this time, François also needs to issue a donation statement, otherwise, it is not easy to say from the customs side. ”
"What? Building a museum? Oh Maiga, you don't look for me to build a museum, what are you looking for François? ”
Rogov was not happy when he heard it, last time he showed Li Yi the catalog of his collection, this guy had promised him a trip to Moscow, but in the end he broke his promise, and now he actually wants to get more collections from François to go back, it is simply unbearable for uncle and aunt!
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Have you forgotten that catalog I showed you? And let me tell you, those more than 400 pieces of collection are just some of the fine works I selected, and I still have more than 1,000 pieces of other Chinese cultural relics! No, no, you have to come with me to Moscow this time, or I won't help you with this! ”
Tan Moxuan was taken aback, Li Yi didn't tell him about any catalogs, more than 400 collections.
Seeing that Luo Guofu was really a little anxious, Li Yi patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said:
"Didn't I call you before and ask you to ship all those things to Paris? Besides, what is our relationship, how can we not take care of you? ”
"Oh Maiga, you just called me yesterday, and now those things haven't even been packaged! Besides, since you are going to ship them back to China, why do you have to go to Paris for a stopover? Wouldn't it be easier to go directly from Moscow? You know, antiques are very delicate things, and if you transfer them once, you will have a better chance of accidents......"
"Okay, okay, I'll go to Moscow with you this time, you should be relieved now, right?"
Li Yi didn't rush to Moscow before, because he knew that the things in Rogov's hand couldn't run, and instead of changing them back, he had to bother keeping them, so it was better to let this guy take it for a while, if he was in a hurry, maybe he could take the opportunity to suppress the price again.
It's just that now that the museum is going to be built, there is no need for that, and the cooperation with Rogov is very pleasant, and there is no need to use any more tricks and means with him.
"Okay, then it's a deal, you can't break your promise this time! Oh yes, I didn't bring anything with me this time, I brought all the ancient paintings and ancient books that you were more interested in last time. ”
"Oh? Brought them all? Hurry up and take a look. ”
Rogov answered, returned to his room and dragged a suitcase over,
"I didn't bring a few ancient books, but almost all of those ancient paintings were brought here."
"Including that "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map"?"
"Including! Hehe, do you remember that I used online photos? Isn't that a last resort......"
Rogov opened the box while smiling, first took out a thick scroll and handed it to Li Yi, asking him to read it first, and then took out all the things in the box one by one.
"This painting ......"
The authenticity of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" has long been determined in the collection world, even if Li Yi is invincible in luck and invincible in eyesight, it is impossible to change another authentic painting out of thin air. It's just that although Rogov doesn't take this painting seriously, since it was lost from the country very early, it is very likely to be a very valuable imitation.
In the more than 600 years of history of the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", not only the authentic work has gone through ups and downs, but also several of its more famous copying versions also have their own stories.
According to incomplete statistics, there are about five or six versions of the copied works of the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" in the past dynasties, the most famous of which is the Ziming scroll.
Ziming volume is the late Ming Dynasty literati copy of the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" useless master volume, in order to make profits, the original author's inscription was removed, forged Huang Gongwang's inscription, and also forged Zou Zhilin and others inscription, this series of fraudulent means deceived the Qianlong Emperor at that time.
According to records, Qianlong's first "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" was a forgery of Ziming Scroll, and then he obtained the authentic copy of "Useless Master Scroll". It's just that, I don't know if it's because of face or eyesight, Qianlong insisted that Ziming Scroll was the authentic work, and also ordered the authentic work of "Useless Master Scroll" to be compiled into the "Shiqu Baoji" as a forgery and ordered Liang Shizheng to depreciate it in this book. Now these two paintings are collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, witnessing a joke in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy collection.
Another of the more famous paintings should be the Ming Dynasty painter Zhang Hong's "Imitation of Huang Gongwang Fuchun Mountain Residence", this painting is recognized by the academic community as the closest to the original version, and together with Shen Zhou's back copy, it is currently in the collection of the Yanjing Palace Museum.
In addition, it is said that there are also copies of the Ming Dynasty painter Zou Zhilin, Wang Hui and others who are known as the "saints of painting in the early Qing Dynasty". However, the whereabouts of these versions are not very clear, some say they were lost overseas, others say they were destroyed in the war, and no one has seen the real thing except for some historical records.
Li Yi had suspected that Luo Guofu had one of the editions in his hand before, and now that he got the real thing, he naturally wanted to appreciate it and identify which version it was by the way.
As the picture unfolds, I see the peaks and mountains, the turquoise stone is quite beautiful, the clouds and mountains are smoky, the Shating cottage, a layout is dense and orderly, the changes are endless, the brush and ink are clear, and the artistic conception is simple and far-reaching, and the landscape masterpiece is slowly displayed in front of the two people, so that the two of them can not speak for a long time.
"The mountains and rivers are thick, and the plants and trees are blooming, which simply expresses the vast and continuous Jiangnan landscape to the fullest! Hehe, if I hadn't known the whereabouts of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" for a long time, some people would have said that this one is genuine, and I would have believed it! ”
"Yes, this one is at this level, it is said to be the closest to the original Zhang Hong's version, and what kind of atmosphere should it be like to Ziming Scroll, which even Qianlong couldn't put down? What level of authenticity should it be? ”
Li Yi sighed with emotion, starting from the frontispiece, admiring this imitation of this equally huge work little by little, trying to see whose work it was with his eyesight.
"Huh? The painting ...... Seems to be complete? ”
Li Yi was still entangled with the handwriting of the inscription, and Tan Moxuan over there had already discovered that something was wrong.
When the authentic work of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" was handed down to the hands of Wu Hongyu, a collector in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it was still a complete work, but when Wu Hongyu was dying, he wanted to use this painting as a burial, and threw this work into the fire, although it was quickly rescued, but it has been burned into two sections, which is now "Useless Master Volume" and "Leftover Mountain Map".
Among the facsimiles currently circulating, only one of Zhang Hong's is a complete version, and if this painting is also complete, then it is not a facsimile of the painters who are currently known!
This discovery made both of them gasp almost at the same time, Li Yi hurriedly browsed the painting from beginning to end, and then stared at the inscription on the frontispiece, no wonder, this trace looked so familiar, at first he thought it was wrong! (To be continued.) )
