After rolling his eyes, Zhou Mingluo continued to look at the [Suzanne Out of the Bath] picture in front of him, this picture also has a humanistic fire, and the humanistic fire is extremely strong, a five-meter-high cyan flame directly reaches the limit, and even begins to spread to the left and right, no longer sticking to the original line type, has developed to the surface.

This is a third-class antique.

He also has a deeper understanding of the size of the fire of humanity after such a long period of research.

The general antique is the original state, the size of the match flame, which is the manifestation of when no one knows its origin, once someone discovers its origin, the original state of the flame will metamorphose.

If there is only a change in the height of a straight line, such as a straight line from the size of the initial match flame to the upper limit of five meters in height, it is the most valuable of the fourth-level antiques, and if it is multiplied to the left and right after the height reaches the top, filling the entire five-meter radius space, it is the limit of the third-level antiques.

The second-level antique is to change from cyan flame to purple fire, and the same must be filled with a five-meter radius limit is the apex.

He didn't know the origin of the [Suzanne Bathing] painting in front of him, but the people surrounding him definitely already recognized its origin, otherwise its humanistic fire would not have risen to the level of third-level antiques.

"Third-level antiques, is it the authentic work of Tintoretto?"

He also knew a little about Tintoretto, even if he didn't know much about it, but he could roughly judge it, and then under careful observation, he found that although the painting in front of him was free to sway, the overall sense was strong, the painting was extremely smooth, beautiful, magnificent and colorful, but the style of painting was obviously not the style of the Venetian school.

However, Tintoretto's "Susanna's Bathing" has an obvious Venetian school style.

This once again made him a little surprised, no matter how you look at it, this is the level of Western oil painting masters, that kind of momentum and fluency are impossible to imitate by ordinary counterfeiters, and the change of the fire of humanity also confirms that this is a treasure, but why is its style completely different from the real thing? Could it be Tintoretto's work imitated by Western oil painting masters?

If this is the case, then even if the painting is a fake, it is definitely worth a lot.

For example, the successful Zhang Daqian imitated a hand-me-down work of Tang Bohu's heyday painting, and then combined with the former's style to integrate it into his own style, that is also a hand-me-down, who dares to say that this thing is worthless? Such a fake may be more valuable than the original, because it is a combination of the best of two generations of masters.

Even the other people who came up around looked at it carefully, and they all began to appreciate this oil painting intently.

It was only then that Sean smiled faintly and said to everyone, "Everyone, I only said before that this is [Susanna out of the bath], but I didn't say that it was Tintoretto's real handiwork, that authentic work is still hanging in the Vienna Museum, it is a national treasure of Austria, I can't get it, but this thing is made by Master Rubens, a representative of Baroque art. contains a strong baroque style, so this painting [Suzanne out of the bath] has a starting price of 500,000 US dollars. ”

In a word, Zhou Mingluo suddenly realized, it was indeed a master's imitation, Rubens? Baroque art?

This Rubens was indeed a master of oil painting, and arguably the greatest painter of Flanders, a representative of the entire Baroque art of the 17th century.

In his impression, he also heard Zhao Lao mention that Tintoretto's painting style deeply influenced a number of later Western European oil painting masters such as Rubens and Velázquez.

Half a million dollars? Absolute value.

The third-level antiques are at least worth more than 10 million yuan, and the humanistic fire of this painting is not only at the height to the end, but also spreads to the left and right with a width of one or two meters, and it is conservatively estimated that it can be sold for 20 or 30 million yuan, which can be worth four or five million even if converted into US dollars.

Of course, in the black market auction, the general treasure will not be sold at the market price, but usually lower than the market price, because the antiques that can circulate to the black market are basically of unknown origin, and even have various disputes, such as this painting may be stolen, may be a tomb robbery, maybe the police of a certain country are searching for his traces, even if you buy it back, it is basically not easy to display it in public, and can only be regarded as a private collection and the like.

If he really wants to take down this painting, he won't say anything else, that is, in terms of style, although the tone of the third-level antique can only be supplemented by the third-level rune if it is absorbed by the yellow book, but there is no such restriction on filling the [pseudo-green dragon rune] or [pseudo-vermilion bird rune].

Any first-level antique can be eaten by those talismans, but he was reluctant to use too precious antiques to replenish it before, so he has been using low-level antiques, and if this painting is used to feed a little brown bear or a sea eagle, a painting can feed at least ten talismans, enough for two guys to eat for three or four months.

Even if the painting disappears after eating, but after all, it is a foreigner's antique, or something on the black market, and he will not feel sorry at all.

After everyone finished appreciating and sat back down again, Sean chuckled again and announced that the bidding had begun.

Almost at the same time, a brown-haired man said, "$550,000." ”

"600,000!"

"700,000!"

………… Many big bosses who mix Chinese and Western are indeed quite interested in this painting, and those who have the skills can basically conclude that this is the work of Master Rubens imitating Tintoretto, and it contains his own unique style, which also belongs to the treasure level.

However, after a while, even if it was a price increase of tens of thousands of tens of thousands each time, the price of [Susanna's bath] quickly climbed to the $1 million mark.

"$1.5 million." After breaking through one million, a blonde old man suddenly raised his hand and increased the price by 500,000 at a time, which instantly made the scene stagnant.

"Okay, Mr. Caton is bidding $1.5 million." Sean was also immediately happy, the front is just an appetizer, it is estimated that anyone can estimate the value of this thing, black market things are generally cheaper than the market price, but his bottom line must be able to sell at least 3 million US dollars, the previous tepid bidding is indeed not exciting, but he knows that the real want to make a move is basically behind.

"$1.6 million."

After Sean's words, another person suddenly spoke, and continued to raise the price.

However, before this sentence landed, Caton raised his hand again and said, "2 million!" ”

It seems that this Caton seems to be determined to win, and the price of one million dollars has been raised twice easily, and such a black market product, two or three million is about the same, it is impossible to say that the market price of four or five million is sold, because buyers have all kinds of scruples, otherwise where do you need the black market? Sending it directly to a regular auction house is unacceptable.

The old guy bid so hard, but it did scare a lot of people.

"2 million, is there any boss willing to compete?" Sean was overjoyed again and chuckled directly.

It was also at this time that Zhou Mingluo looked around, and no one seemed to be willing to compete with Caton anymore, so he raised his hand with a smile and said, "3 million!" ”

If you want to fight an opponent who is quick and determined to win, you need to be more atmospheric than the opponent and show more confidence in ambition, so as to make the opponent worry and hesitate psychologically.

3 million US dollars, which is basically the limit of what this thing can sell here, and I will increase it to the limit at one time, which is enough to give people a lot of impact, because if the other party increases the price again, he will be more worried.

After all, this is something on the black market, and the way is not right, the old guy wants to buy it back and hang it at home, and it is estimated that there will be no leakage at all, otherwise it is likely to cause a lot of trouble.

If the other party stole it from the same big collector, and they have a relationship, and they have reported to the police for the record, but they find that the stolen goods are with you, isn't that trouble, even if the two may not be the same country, it may cause a lot of conflict.

Such a thing is barely a national treasure, even if its original owner is powerless, ordinary countries will not ignore it after seeing this thing pass abroad.

But he didn't have any such concerns, 3 million US dollars was earned, and he was not afraid of the slightest trouble, after all, he bought it back to feed this thing to the two big snacks at home as food, and directly ate the trouble of fart.

So in essence, Zhou Mingluo is much more confident than everyone present.

"Heh~"

There was a cry of surprise in the auction hall, originally everyone thought that Caton was going to take this thing, but they didn't expect to suddenly kill a more ferocious Xiao Zhou, which was indeed surprising.

Some people even began to discuss in their hearts, Nima China's nouveau riche is many, and now China has become the main market for luxury consumption in the world, it seems that it is really not blown, even Caton looked at it in surprise, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

But just when the arena was deserted for a while and Sean was overjoyed again, a strange voice suddenly sounded, "I'll pay three million and one dollars." ”

In a word, everyone present looked at it, and they were even more dumbfounded, three million and one dollars, only one dollar higher than Zhou Mingluo's bid? This, is this really going to compete, or is it deliberately disgusting?

And after turning around, everyone saw Jin Zaixing, who was also yellow-skinned and black-eyed, taking a puff of a cigar at the moment, gently hugging the fashionable and beautiful girl beside him, with a comfortable face.

Is it disgusting? He was really deliberately disgusting Xiao Zhou.

He was furious and depressed when he thought about it last time, and that incident only appeared because he and Zhou Mingluo had a quarrel at the beginning, although he didn't know that it was Xiao Zhou's ghost, if he really knew, he wouldn't dare to argue with Xiao Zhou at all.

But now that he's meeting this guy again today, he really doesn't want to leave it at that.

I was scared every day, and my mind didn't belong, but this time I really had to disgust the one surnamed Zhou.
