Chapter 699 Van Gogh's Painting (Medium)

After getting the painting, He Qing left the collection room under the leadership of Lu Zhenyu and soon came to the living room downstairs.

As soon as he walked downstairs, Lu Zhenyu instructed the servants to prepare wine and food, and to treat He Qing, the guest of honor who had been invited with great difficulty.

It didn't take long for the food and drinks to be ready and served to the table.

After the banquet was set, Lu Zhenyu enthusiastically invited He Qing into the play and prepared to have a few drinks with him.

On the next wine table, taking advantage of this joy, He Qing and Lu Zhenyu toasted a few glasses, and after three rounds of wine, his face was slightly hot, as if he was drunk.

After eating, He Qing stayed at Lu's house for a while and chatted with Lu Zhenyu.

After a while he said goodbye and prepared to go back.

It's just that Lu Zhenyu asked the secretary to drive him over, but he didn't go back to the hotel where he stayed directly, but came to the hospital where Lin Haitao was recuperating.

"Haitao, Tian Tian, show you a good thing." As soon as he walked into the ward, He Qing said as if he couldn't wait.

"What's that good?" Lin Haitao, who was sitting on the hospital bed, asked with interest.

Tian Tian said with a smile: "Seeing him so happy, something very good must have happened." ”

Lin Haitao was puzzled: "It can't be that I went out to visit the antique street and found some big treasures, right?" ”

He Qing shook his head and said: "I didn't go to the antique street, but at the invitation of Mr. Lu, I went to visit him, and I got a thing from him, which is indeed a big treasure, but it is not our common Chinese antique, but a Western antique, a painting." You see. ”

As he spoke, he took out from a big bag in his hand the old foreign oil painting he brought back from the Lu family. The "Chestnut Grove" that Cézanne withdraws.

"It's an oil painting." When they saw the painting clearly, Lin Haitao and Tian Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised. I thought it was a beautiful ancient painting, but it was just an oil painting that looked very ordinary and had nothing out of the ordinary.

"Yes, an oil painting." He Qing nodded heavily.

Tian Tian took a closer look at the painting and said, "Maybe I don't understand foreign painting and calligraphy art, and I can't see anything good about this painting, isn't it just an ordinary oil painting?" I have an old classmate. She has a talent for drawing, and she often paints oil paintings, and she paints quite a lot, and this painting looks similar to her work, and I don't think she can even paint it well. ”

He Qing shook his head and said with a slight smile: "It's true that you don't understand the art of oil painting, and people who don't understand this aspect of art can't see its subtleties, and I don't actually have any research, I'm a layman." But it cannot be denied that this old oil painting is of high value. ”

"Is this painting worth a lot?" Tian Tian looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, very high, far higher than you think!" He Qing nodded vigorously.

"If you look closely, this painting looks like it's really a bit different, it's full of character." After Lin Haitao looked at it in detail, he said solemnly, "I have also appreciated the art of foreign oil painting before, and I have seen the works of many masters. Van Gogh, for example, and Picasso. Qingge. If I'm not mistaken, the painting resembles the work of a master in terms of coloring and layout. ”

"Whose work do you see it looks like?" He Qing asked with a meaningful smile.

Lin Haitao replied: "It's a bit like Van Gogh." I remember Van Gogh liked to paint plants and landscapes, and the woods he painted had the style of the things he painted. ”

Hearing his analysis, He Qing's face changed slightly, as if he was touched in his heart, but that changed look immediately recovered. Shaking his head, he said: "But this is clearly not Van Gogh's work, because the inscription is Paul. Cézanne, Paul. Cézanne is a master of oil painting in France, and this is a work from his name. ”

Lin Haitao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Then I don't know, I only know a little bit about this." No in-depth research was conducted. Brother Green, this painting is Paul. Is Cézanne genuine? You say this Paul. Since Cézanne is a famous French painter, the works he left behind should be very valuable. Foreign ancient oil paintings are equivalent to our ancient Chinese porcelain, which is a hot collector's item, and if it is the authentic work of celebrities, especially the works left by top masters such as Van Gogh and Picasso, it can often fetch a high price. ”

He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, Van Gogh's oil paintings are amazing, hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, and they are US dollars, at least five or six billion yuan when converted into RMB, and our Chinese antiques, the most expensive in the auction transaction record is also auctioned by an international auction company in the United Kingdom, the hollow pastel porcelain of the Qianlong period, which was sold for almost 500 million at that time, although it is also a sky-high price, but compared to Van Gogh's oil paintings, it is still a little far away, after all, the difference of 100 million is not a small amount." Therefore, the most expensive works of art often set records on foreign oil paintings. Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe", do you know how much it cost to shoot? 110 million, and it's dollars, it's really an unattainable sky-high price! ”

"So it's so valuable!" Tian Tian said with a look of surprise on his face.

"Brother Qing, then the painting you received should be very valuable, right?" Lin Haitao said, "Although you said this Paul. Cézanne doesn't seem to be as famous as Van Gogh, but he is also a master, and there should be many people who like to collect his works. ”

He Qing said: "If this is an authentic work by Paul, it must be very valuable, and it can't be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars, but it can be sold for a good price." But this is not his real handiwork, but an imitation, someone imitated. ”

"It turned out to be an imitation." Hearing He Qing say this, Lin Haitao's face suddenly darkened, and the flame of hope that had originally risen was extinguished in an instant, replaced by an inexplicable sense of disappointment.

He Qing smiled: "Of course, this is just Mr. Lu's opinion, I don't think so." Haitao, you just said that this painting is a bit like Van Gogh's original handiwork, but you are not wrong at all. This painting is not a bit like Van Gogh's original work, but very similar, in fact, there is no difference at all, because they are all from the same person, the same person painted with a pen, and that person is the famous Van Gogh! ”

"You say this painting...... I didn't understand what you meant. Lin Haitao said with a puzzled face, He Qing's words turned too quickly, and his thinking couldn't keep up with this rhythm.

He Qing straightened his face and said: "I mean to say that this painting is also from Van Gogh's hand, and it is Van Gogh's work!" (To be continued......)
