The reason why Yan Liben's painting is so highly evaluated by history is first reflected in his painting skills.

When painting, he not only paid attention to the common characteristics and temperament of the emperors of the past dynasties, but also successfully shaped the image of typical historical figures with outstanding personalities according to the political actions of each emperor and the fate of different environments.

While Yan Liben successfully portrayed the personal characters of the emperors, he also expressed the painter's evaluation of them in the painting, that is, the records of those examples.

For example, in those list texts, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi is well-read and talented; Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty was deep and measured, and completed the cause of unifying the world; Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, was a rough and strong Liang and uneducated, but he was a very strategic and capable man, who regained power from his uncle and further unified the entire north; Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian was a well-known person who was peaceful on the surface, but scheming and suspicious in his heart; Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, is handsome and smart, but he is exaggerated, fanciful, and enjoyable; Chen Wendi Chen Yan is also beautiful, knowledgeable, and capable.

and other inscriptions, all of which are completely consistent with the table of the portrait he made in the painting, which is why this painting is so famous and is known as the pinnacle of painting at that time.

Until now, it has been studied by many people as an ancient historical document. The artistic value of the painting aside. The historical value of the painting alone. It is enough to be regarded as a classic must-see painting by many people who study history.

The painting, on silk, in color and color, is 51.3 cm long and 531 cm wide, and now hangs quietly on the wall behind the glass gaffet.

Jin Muchen wanted to smash those glass guards with a single punch, but considering that he wanted to protect the paintings, he took out the laser glass knife that he had prepared a long time ago and carefully cut open the glass shield outside. Then he carefully took off the painting and put it directly into the purple jade space.

At the same time, I am also glad that the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is so proud and complacent that there is no alarm connected to the police station on the back of the painting, it seems that they have lived a comfortable life for too long.

Before the action, Jesse also warned him that if he wanted to get those paintings, he must be careful, don't look at the museum, there are no cool alarm devices in the movie. But maybe they'll install an alarm device connected to the police station behind the paintings.

Such a device. It is a very common thing in museums nowadays that once someone takes those paintings off the wall, they will definitely touch the alarm device installed behind the paintings, and the police station will definitely be the first to receive the alarm and respond.

But this Boston Museum of Fine Arts, maybe it was too comfortable in the past, and maybe they thought that the masters behind them were too bullish, and no one dared to pluck the feathers from their tiger's mouth, so they didn't install this device at all, which was a lot of fun for Jin Muchen.

Do you think no one would dare to pluck the feathers of a tiger's mouth? Lao Tzu is going to break ground on Tai Sui's head today!

Yan Liben's painting was won, and the next thing was Song Huizong's work.

Although Zhao Ji of Song Huizong had no way to govern the country, he made great achievements in calligraphy and painting, and his level of copying was also very high.

As an emperor, this guy was assessed as a faint monarch, and he has been nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and the evaluation given to him by history is 'only can not be a king', which means that if this guy is not an emperor, then he will definitely become a very famous calligrapher, painter, and artist......

Although it is not good to be an emperor, as an artist, he can be regarded as leaving a strong mark in the history of Chinese art, and he can be regarded as a very famous Wenqing Emperor!

And his artworks, because of their very high artistic attainments, are also very popular in the antique market.

In the 2002 Jiade Spring Auction, Song Huizong's authentic work "Sketch of Rare Birds" was auctioned at a price of 25.3 million, which shows that this Danqing work of Emperor Wenqing is still quite popular in the market.

This Boston Museum has a collection of Song Huizong's copy of the famous Tang Dynasty painter Zhang Xuan's "Pounding Practice" and Song Huizong's "Five-color Parrot Picture".

Zhang Xuan is a Jingzhao person in the Tang Dynasty, during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, he served as a painter in the history museum, and painted the characters and ladies, especially in the painting of aristocratic women, children, and saddle horses, which is very characteristic and famous.

His "Pounding Practice" depicts the labor scene of women processing Bai Lian in the Tang Dynasty palace, and a total of ten characters are painted, with different expressions and postures, and they are vividly portrayed.

There is also the fear of inciting young children and the curiosity of watching girls, all of which are vividly and realistically displayed.

The collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is not Zhang Xuan's genuine work, but Song Huizong's copy of "Pounding Practice", although it is not as expressive as Zhang Xuan's painting, but it can also be called a vivid and god-like effect.

Coupled with the fame of Song Huizong, the value of this painting is not lower than the value of Zhang Xuan's original work.

This painting is in the collection of the Liao@Ning Provincial Museum, but it is called the double-walled work of Song Huizong's poetry and painting by later generations of literati and ink writers.

It's just that this painting was later taken away by the Jin people and people with the painting after the difficulty of Jingkang, and later Song Huizong's wife was played casually, and he was reduced from the king of a country to a prisoner, depressed and happy to die, and his painting became the ruler of the Jin Dynasty to play with the ornamental things, and there is even an inscription of Jin Zhangzong Wanyan Jing on this painting "Tianshui G" inscription.

Putting aside national feelings, this painting can also be regarded as a masterpiece handed down from that year, Jin Muchen certainly did not let go of the reason, and also opened the glass shield and took this painting into his pocket.

Next to this "Pounding Practice" copied by Song Huizong, there is another painting he created, which is the famous "Five-colored Parrot".

In addition to copying the paintings of other famous artists, Song Huizong's own artistic creation also has very obvious characteristics, the most famous of which is his flower and bird paintings.

There is no detailed record of how many paintings of flowers and birds he painted in one sentence, but there are 19 paintings that have been handed down to this day, which is definitely a remarkable number for a painter of that era.

Some of these flower and bird paintings are in China, and some have been lost overseas, and there are a few in the treasure island and Xiangjiang area.

In the United States, there are two, one of which is the "Bamboo Bird Picture" in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The other is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which is the "Five-colored Parrot Picture" recorded in "The Treasure of the Stone Canal".

The parrot in the painting is the apricot blossom that Huizong once admired with the words "cut the ice silk and kill the official girl of Ruizhu", the parrot in the painting, and the apricot blossom complement each other, and the thin gold body of the imperial inscription poem sprinkled on the upper right is absolutely unique!

Jin Muchen cut the glass shield and unceremoniously pocketed this "Five-Colored Parrot Picture".

Not counting the other paintings, these three paintings, if estimated according to the value of RMB, are already worth hundreds of millions of yuan, the most precious of which is Yan Liben's "Emperors of the Past Dynasties", this painting alone can definitely be described as priceless.

If it was usual, Jin Muchen would have been crazy with joy when he got these three paintings, but now, he is still not satisfied, because this is a big gold mountain, and these three paintings are just appetizers, and they have just begun.

Walking a few steps forward, I saw the paintings of Fan Kuan, one of the four famous artists of the Northern Song Dynasty, "Snow Mountain Pavilion Map" and "Snow Mountain Xiao Temple Map" collected in this museum; There are 5 paintings of the monk Yu Chi Yi.

Don't say anything more, just pry open, pry open the glass shield, and directly stuff the painting into the purple jade space.

After walking a few steps, I came across Chen Yongzhi's paintings, this Chen Yongzhi is known as the best at 'and the Chinese Taoism' style of painting in the Western Regions, and the "Buddha out of the mountain" he copied is also the only painting he has handed down today.

On the other side of the exhibition hall is the "Nine Dragons" in the museum's collection, which is the work of Chen Rong, who was good at painting ink dragons in the Song Dynasty.

Chen Rong, the word Mo Zhu, the number of Weng, Fu @ Jian Changle people, once an official to the Guozijian master book, and later to the Chaosan doctor, known for painting ink dragons.

There are only four of his surviving works, including two "Ink Dragon Pictures", one in the Guangdong Provincial Museum and the other in the Palace Museum in Beijing; There is also a "Five Dragons", which is now in the collection of the Nelson Museum of Art in the United States.

The "Nine Dragons" is hidden in this museum.

Ink dragon painting began in the five dynasties, the dragon fish painting science and technology from the Northern Song Dynasty, Chen Rong's ink dragon can be called the benchmark of a hundred generations, his words were recorded by later generations as many as 55 kinds, but only these 4 picks up.

Yes, in addition to this "Nine Dragons", this art museum also has other painters in the Northern Song Dynasty, imitating Chen Rong's "Cloud Dragon Picture Scroll", and another imitation of Chen Rong's "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Picture" such two fakes, although it is an imitation of Chen Rong's paintings, but the painting skills are not bad, the painting is also excellent, can be preserved until now, it is also a first-class masterpiece, Jin Muchen of course will not let go, one by one.

Almost all of the works displayed in this exhibition hall are famous in history, which can be regarded as fine exhibitions of famous painters in China's Tang and Song dynasties, and the essence of ancient Chinese paintings collected by the entire Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is gathered here.

Jin Muchen was unceremonious, sweeping away the paintings of these famous artists of the past dynasties...... (To be continued......)
