Chapter 1223: New Painting?
The current situation is that Chris looks down on Jesse's bodyguard 'Chen' who is standing on the side, and Jesse looks down on Chris, which is a strange cycle anyway. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But Chris didn't dare to show his displeasure in front of Jesse, because he knew that it was up to Jesse whether he could get any money from Mr. Compton.
So at this time, Jesse didn't take over the painting in his hand at all, he could only stand there stupidly, and when someone asked him to put the painting on the coffee table, he had to obediently put it on the coffee table.
The painting was put on the coffee table, Jesse gave Jin Muchen a look, and he took a step forward and squeezed away Chris who was standing in front.
Looking at this guy's expressionless appearance, he suddenly heard that this guy used to be a mixed triad, and he immediately felt a void in his heart, the triad organization may not be well-known in other parts of the United States, but in the San Francisco area, it is notorious.
After all, this is the nest of the Chinese in North America, from the time the Chinese came to the North American continent to take root, to the following decades, those who came from the mainland came here one after another.
Especially in recent decades, criminal organizations in Hong Kong have continued to infiltrate like here, resulting in this organization, which is also quite a headache here.
These guys are notoriously ruthless, ruthless enough to their own people, and just as ruthless to outsiders, and those Fuqing Gang who only bully their own people or something, but they are completely different, even the American police are very afraid of them.
Chris, who has lived in San Francisco for a while, has of course heard of their murderous reputations, but he has never dealt with them before at all, and he was holding his breath in his heart before, so he didn't mince words about Jin Muchen, and now when he thinks of this guy's identity and background, he is weak again.
Although their family is a big business in the United States, and they are also very close to many upper-level people in the government, but now they can't save the fire from far water, what if they really mess with this guy, what if they want to kill themselves on the spot?
So at this time, Chris was a little scared, and his appearance of being strong and capable of doing things all fell into Jesse's eyes, and her impression of this turtle-haired man couldn't help but be a little worse.
A guy who doesn't have the guts at all, and doesn't take responsibility.
And Jin Muchen didn't have the heart at this time, he paid attention to what Chris was thinking, and his spirit was already on the two paintings in front of him.
He ignored Jesse and Chris's gazes, and sat down on the sofa with a golden knife, and then opened one of the scrolls, and after opening the scroll, he froze.
This special painting, good thing!
The scroll of this painting is very long, Jin Muchen estimated that it could be about one meter and a half, and the width was about fifty centimeters, and it was also a picture scroll of a banner.
The length of this painting alone makes this painting very prominent in those ancient paintings handed down in China, and the length of this painting is very long, so there are many elements displayed in it, there is a big pond, the willow trees on the edge of the pond, and the mandarin ducks playing in the pond, the reeds by the pond, and the egrets dancing next to the reeds of the pond, the elements in these pictures can be said to be vivid, and many elements are intertwined, making this painting very vivid, with a rare wild interest.
Jin Muchen has seen many ancient Chinese paintings, and most of the landscape paintings, most of them express a kind of quiet and far-reaching meaning, but this painting is much more vivid, the small animals in it are painted vividly, as well as the willows and reeds that flutter with the wind, there is stillness in the movement, there is movement in the stillness, the whole picture is vivid at once, among the ancient Chinese masters he has seen, he can paint such a large painter, and can also express the content of the painting, so exquisite and vivid, it is really rare.
If it weren't for the pristine yellow light that flashed on this painting, Jin Muchen would have thought that this painting was a fake painting, this painting was too rare.
It's rare to see such an authentic painting even in major museums, and this painting is amazing.
When Jin Muchen saw this, he basically concluded that this painting was genuine, but what made him feel strange was how this painting was preserved, because this painting was too new in terms of color.
If it weren't for his ability to recognize the jeweled eyesight, at this time, just looking at the color on the painting, he would have concluded that the painting should be a fake painting, and not only he would judge it this way, I am afraid that many appraisal experts, after seeing this painting for the first time, will also think that this painting is fake, the reason is very simple, it is because this painting is too new.
You must know that ancient paintings with such themes must have been at least hundreds of years old at that time, and with the canvases used in ancient Chinese silk paintings, as well as the pigments used by painters, etc., plus the ancients in the past, they were not very proficient in chemistry and physics, so they were not as careful as they are now when preserving ancient paintings.
Therefore, ancient silk paintings with a history of hundreds of years are rarely in complete condition when preserved until now, because if the silk cloth is not properly preserved, it will oxidize and become brittle, and it is easy to crack and break, and the pigment on the canvas is also very easy to fade.
In addition, even if your canvas is well preserved, your canvas will inevitably experience mold and insect infestation, so those ancient Chinese paintings, generally in the identification, these are the identification points that need to be paid attention to.
If you see a crack or break, don't panic, because this is the inevitable manifestation of the real old paintings, as well as the mold and moth-eaten phenomenon, that is also inevitable, on the contrary, if you see the ancient paintings, there are no such characteristics, then you have to be careful, because most of such paintings are fake.
And this painting is strange, the above-mentioned canvas is cracked, broken, moldy, moth-eaten, or the paint fades at all, but he is still the real work, which can not help but sigh, how did the people at that time preserve this painting.
Jin Muchen first looked at the situation of the canvas and paints at the beginning, and he was very fascinated, and as soon as he calmed down like this, there was naturally a momentum on his body.
As soon as Jesse saw his expression, he knew that he was serious, the painting in front of him was not simple, and Chris couldn't help but put away his contempt for this guy when he saw Jin Muchen's expression and the momentum on his body, this guy is not simple.
Their family has been playing antiques for generations, especially specializing in ancient Chinese cultural toys, so he has a very high appreciation ability for Chinese antiques and ancient calligraphy and paintings, and now Jin Muchen is sitting like this, coupled with the momentum reflected when he looks at the painting, he can feel that this guy is not simple, so he immediately put away his contempt for Jin Muchen.
After Jin Muchen finished looking at the canvas and paint of this painting, he raised his head and asked Chris, "Do you have a magnifying glass and gloves?" ”
"Yes, you wait, I'll find it for you."
This guy is quite qualified, he actually knows that he has to wear gloves and use a magnifying glass to look at paintings, hehe, it's a bit of a doorway, at this time, Chris looks at Jin Muchen again, and he doesn't feel annoyed anymore, and he even feels a little confidant of this guy.
Soon this guy took a pair of white gloves and a magnifying glass, Jin Muchen put on the white gloves, picked up the magnifying glass, and then began to look at the painting in front of him.
The first thing he looked at was the inscription of this painting, and at the end of the scroll on the right hand side of this painting, there were many inscriptions of many people, some of them were seals, and some of them were directly signed, so he had to take a good look at them.
This look is amazing, there are actually several people's inscriptions here: Huang Hetan, Lianxi Dayou, Huiji Zhang Jiugong, Qujiang Zhang Bogong, ancient Taoist and Poyang Wang Zhongyu.
Most of these people are famous literati or painters in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the most famous of them may be the Lianxi Dayou, and Zhang Jiugong, the full name of this Lianxi Dayou is called Qiu Dayou, is a person in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, he is famous, because he thought that he was close to the famous Shen Zhou at that time was a good friend.
And the other Zhang Jiugong, not to mention, is the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, and he can be regarded as a famous person recorded in history.
In addition, Zhang Bogong, who cut his bones to the people, Wang Zhongyu or something, are also well-known literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so in this way, this painting still seems to have a very good background.
Jin Muchen basically had a certain judgment in his mind at this time, first of all, this painting must be genuine, and the age of this painting must be earlier than the Ming and Qing dynasties, the specific age is not easy to say, and it is difficult for him to draw conclusions now.
The more he looked, the more serious he became, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, he hadn't seen such a painting for a long time, there was a painting, in fact, when he passed through so many museums, it was also considered to be a 'collection' of many famous paintings, but because there were too many of them, most of the paintings, he didn't have time to look at them carefully.
And this time, Chris actually came up with such an interesting painting, and he was attracted to him, which really made him interested.
And this Chris saw that he looked at him so seriously, and for a while he also had a little bit of his intention to take the test, so he asked. (To be continued.) )
