Chapter 5 Painting Appreciation (II)
"Hey, this is Dong Qichang's painting?" Mo Ling, who was on the side, sighed softly.
"Dong Qichang?" Zhao Zhuo subconsciously responded, and saw that on the blank page below the scroll, there was a large seal, although it was a little vague, but he could still barely distinguish the three compilations of "Dong Qichang" written on it.
Hearing Zhao Zhuo speak, Cui Shiyan said with a smile: "You should also learn Dong Qichang when you study the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, right?" ”
Zhao Zhuo nodded, his professional knowledge is still very solid, not to mention that Dong Qichang is a figure who has been highlighted in the history and art of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and he is very impressed.
It is said that this Dong Qichang is not only a jinshi, but also a famous calligrapher, the most outstanding and influential calligrapher and painter in the late Ming Dynasty, known as one of the nine friends in the painting, and is the leader of the Huating painting school at that time.
Cui Shiyan introduced: "Dong Qichang's works have always been more precious, but in the process of circulation, fakes continue to be filled, and it is difficult to see fine products so far, it can be said that fakes are flooding the market, especially private collections, even if they are not fakes, they are also small and generalized works." However, there are many works of Dong Qichang in the overseas art market, and the highest auction price is tens of millions. ”
"Tens of millions?" Zhao Zhuo was taken aback, and said that collecting antiques is something that only rich people can do, which also makes some sense, without strong funds, who can afford to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy an ancient painting? That kind of courage and admiration for culture is not something that ordinary people can have.
"Hehe, but that's rare, most of them are still hundreds of thousands." Seeing Zhao Zhuo's surprised look, Cui Shiyan added.
"And how much is this pair worth?" Zhao Zhuo said curiously.
"The price of this painting is million, but if it is genuine, then a few numbers must be added before the million." Cui Shiyan lowered his voice.
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Mo Ling shaking his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity that it's a fake." ”
"Fakes?" Zhao Zhuo was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but blurt out.
As soon as he finished saying this, Tong Bo's face suddenly darkened, and he changed his gentle attitude just now, and snorted heavily: "What did the stinky boy say, you said the fake?" Tell me where this is a fake? ”
Cui Shiyan hurriedly started the round and said with a smile: "Brother Tong, don't be angry, my junior brother is just a believer, not to mention that real gold is not afraid of fire practice, if it is genuine, it will not be a fake." ”
"How can I not be angry? My Tong Bo has been in the antique world for more than ten years, and he is also a little famous in the territory of Guangzhou Province. Do you know how many collectors, as well as people from the Provincial Museum, have contacted me to see the goods. If it weren't for the fact that I knew you well, Director Cui, I wouldn't have had time to come here. Tong Bo said with a displeased face.
Lu Yunhai didn't speak from beginning to end, looking like a master in the world, but when Zhao Zhuo said that it was a fake, he glanced at Zhao Zhuo, cold and contemptuous.
Cui Shiyan smiled, arching his hand was grateful for his concern, and then said to Zhao Zhuo: "Senior brother, don't take it to heart, this Tong Bo is a little more temperamental, in fact, there is no malice." ”
Zhao Zhuo saw that he didn't blame himself at all, and he added even more favor, he took a few steps back, walked to a vacant place, and asked in a low voice, "Is this really a fake?" ”
"Of course, it's something that you can see at a glance." Mo Ling said lightly.
"Tell at a glance?" Zhao Zhuo looked at Mo Ling's calm and relaxed appearance, and only felt that the corners of her mouth cramped, what she could see through at a glance, Professor Luo actually looked at it seven or eight times over and over again, if he heard this, wouldn't he be so angry that he vomited blood?
However, after thinking about it carefully, it feels reasonable, Mo Ling's hundreds of years of knowledge are not comparable to ordinary people.
This ancient painting is worth millions, if it is really a fake, then it must stop Senior Brother Cui from buying it, Zhao Zhuo thought for a while and asked, "How is this calligraphy and painting identified?" ”
Mo Ling raised his finger and said with a smile: "To identify old paintings and calligraphy, one of the first things is to verify whether the paper matches the author's age. In the Ming Dynasty, the masters of the Song Dynasty were fond of old paper, and often bought the painting paper of the Song Dynasty at a high price for painting. Song paper is half-baked, especially the Northern Song Dynasty paper in hemp, leather mixed with bamboo, although this painting is old, but the fiber is very fine, bright and hairless, and the corners of the painting can see the edges and corners, so this "Fishing Picture of Streams and Mountains" can be seen should be Song paper. ”
Zhao Zhuo took a closer look, and saw that there were indeed some traces of folding on the corner of the ancient painting, unlike other painting papers, which still left no traces after folding.
