Chapter 644: Diagram of Autumn Mountain Xiao Temple
The painting that Adolf took out, called "Autumn Mountain Xiao Temple", is a horizontal axis landscape with ink and color on silk, the horizontal axis is about 2 meters long, and the length of the vertical axis is more than 60 centimeters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Historically, there are countless paintings created with the theme of autumn mountains and temples, and even there are many paintings in the name of "Autumn Mountain Xiao Temple Map", among which the two most famous ones, one is a vertical scroll made by Wang Meng of the Yuan Dynasty, which has been auctioned at a sky-high price of 136.6 million, and the other is a collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA, that Song Dynasty anonymous work, with a vigorous brush, the artistic conception is bleak, and the painting style of Fan Kuan in the Northern Song Dynasty is near.
Li Yi has seen the relevant materials of those two paintings, but this painting is a little different. In this painting, the mountains are towering and the trees are sparse, and the scenery of the northern country is sparse. The specific painting method has both dyeing and dyeing, among them, the method is mostly used in small draped linen, the level is orderly, the mountains and trees are written in bald brush, the shape is like the ancient seal, especially the ancient atmosphere.
The structure of the whole painting is rigorous, the momentum is magnificent, the composition is combined with the two methods of "lofty" and "flat", and its far-reaching, mysterious, and elegant are also appropriate, and at a glance it is everyone's weather.
"Li Chengbi grabbed the chemical industry, and Jing Hao opened a picture for thousands of miles. Fan Kuan's Shilan smoke forest is deep, and the dead wood is extremely difficult to compare. Jiangnan Dong Yuan monk Juran, light ink and light Lan as one...... Beautiful, this painting is indeed extraordinary, but it is a bit far-fetched to say that it is Jing Hao's work. ”
Li Yi looked at the painting carefully, checked the mounting and silk paper, and then pointed to the inscription above the painting and said:
"Sweeping arbitrarily, the peaks and peaks are one after another. The tip of the pen is cold and thin, and the ink is light and the wild clouds are light...... According to historical records, this poem is indeed a poem given by Jing Hao to the abbot of Qinglian Temple in Yedu, and it should also be inscribed on a landscape painting scroll, I think you should judge that this is Jing Hao's work based on this. ”
"However, the problem lies precisely here, if you have studied the cultural history of China, it is easy to find that it is very rude to give a friend's painting without payment, on the contrary, the painter should not only pay the money, but also explain on the painting who it is given to and when it was painted......
Hearing this, Rogov and Adolf couldn't help but be stunned at the same time, they didn't notice this problem in the past, and the experts who helped them identify it did not point out this problem, but said that judging from the age of the painting, the use of brush and ink and the artistic conception of the painting, this should be Jing Hao's work......
"In addition, this painting has Shen Kuo's collection seal, indicating that Shen Kuo once collected this painting, but Shen Kuo lived in the three dynasties of Song Renzong, Song Yingzong, and Song Shenzong, and it can only prove that this painting is a work of this time period or before, and with Shen Kuo's admiration for Jing Hao, if this is really Jing Hao's work, he should have left some words, and neither the "Xuanhe Painting" nor the bibliographic works written by later generations have seen the name of this painting......"
"Oh, this shouldn't be anything, it's been handed down for thousands of years, and it's normal for the name to be incorrect. And Jing Hao likes to paint autumn scenes, these characteristics are also in line, and we also compared the "Kuanglu Map" and "Snow Landscape Map", the brushwork is indeed similar, especially the small Phi Ma Hui is Jing Hao's originality, the application of this painting is extremely skillful, although there is no payment, but there are many anonymous works of ancient Chinese paintings......"
Hearing that the price had not yet been discussed, Li Yi began to question the authenticity of the work, and Adolf, after the initial discomfort, also began to fight back.
Li Yi smiled and shook his head,
"Professor Adolf, since you have studied those two paintings, you must also know about the controversy over them, so I will not say more. It's just amazing that those two paintings are also anonymous...... Could it be that Jing Hao really has the habit of not leaving his name? ”
"This ......"
"It's nothing, although the work is anonymous, but it is indeed an ancient painting of the Song Dynasty, and the level is indeed relatively high, I don't know how much money you need to be willing to transfer?"
As Li Yi spoke, he opened the spirit identification card, and a cool air flowed through, and a name that was not an accident appeared in his mind, Guan Tong, this painting, this painting is indeed Guan Tong's work!
Guan Tong is a painter of the Liang Dynasty after the fifth generation, painting landscapes in the early years of Jing Hao's teaching, but in the later period, it has surpassed Jing Hao's pattern in the concept of landscape painting, which can be said to be better than the blue, and his landscape paintings are called Guanjia landscapes by later generations.
Guan Tong's landscape painting, the weather is magnificent and desolate, the outline is concise and powerful, the scenery is profound, the virtual and the real are interspersed and full of changes, it is one of the three main schools of landscape painting in the north between the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, so he is not only known as the "Three Dingzhi" and "Hundred Generations Standard Cheng" together with Li Cheng and Fan Kuan of the other two families, but also Jing Hao, Dong Yuan, Ju Ran and called the four major landscape painters of the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, and his works have a deep influence on the landscape paintings of later generations.
There are not many works handed down by Guan Tong, there are only three in total, all of which are collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. And some people say that Jing Hao's "Kuanglu Tu" should also be Guan Tong's work.
Li Yi has never seen the real thing before, so it is difficult to make judgments, but after reading this "Autumn Mountain Xiao Temple", he feels that it is not impossible, because these two people do have similarities in style, and the world thinks that Guan Tong is a late blooming painter, and he did not have a reputation for being blue until his later years, which also shows from another perspective that his early works are likely to be very similar to Jing Hao's works.
However, whether it is Jing Hao or Guan Tong, if it weren't for that humiliating history, it would be absolutely impossible for a work of this level to remain among the people. In fact, more than 90% of the ancient Chinese paintings auctioned on the market now come from repatriated cultural relics, but such a large scale like this one, but so well preserved, even among repatriated cultural relics is rare, so Li Yi feels that even if this is really an anonymous painting, he should not miss it.
However, it is just his idea not to miss it, and whether he can get it or not depends on the offer.
Adolf looked at Li Yi's expression while pondering the offer, when he identified that this painting might be Jing Hao's work, he had put a lot of effort into it, and he also had great expectations for this painting, but now......
He hesitated, but decided to quote according to the original quotation first, after all, the level of this painting is here, even if it is not Jing Hao's work, the author is by no means an unknown junior.
"This painting, it costs 48 million euros."
Hearing that Adolf finally said the price of the painting, Li Yi frowned, sure enough, this guy went to the price of "Pillar Inscription" and "Zhichuan Migration Map", only the price of 400 million, and there have been two in total over the years, and how many stories behind it are unknown, how easy is it to sell this painting to that price?
