"He, don't you feel weird?" Zheng Lao said with a smile, "I have a Western painting hanging in the collection room, and I myself feel a little nondescript, and it is not in harmony with the surrounding furnishings, but it is only temporary, I will withdraw that thing sooner or later, to be honest, I don't like to collect foreign things." ”

He Qing shook his head lightly and said, "It's not anymore, there's nothing strange about it." I feel very distinctive, different. Zheng Lao, that painting must have a great background, right? ”

Zheng Lao replied: "It's just an ordinary ancient Western painting, almost two hundred years old. It was an oil painting, which I brought back from England this time. ”

"Did you shoot or receive?" He Qing said, "Elder Zheng, maybe you picked up a leak, that painting is good, maybe it's a famous painting." ”

Zheng Lao shook his head and said, "What kind of famous painting?" A friend gave me a debt, he owed me a sum of money, but he couldn't pay it off on time, so he mortgaged it, I didn't want it, and I didn't like to collect oil paintings, and it was just a fake, not much value. ”

"Fakes?" He Qing was surprised, "Old Zheng, why is that painting a fake?" ”

When he first saw the ancient Western painting shrouded in a red "treasure light", He Qing's first reaction was that the painting had an extraordinary origin, perhaps a world famous painting of great value, but after listening to Deng Lao's explanation for a while, he realized that it was just a fake.

However, he can also understand that his eyes are bright, which can only prove that something is an antique that is a certain age, but it cannot immediately distinguish its quality and authenticity.

"yes, it's an imitation." I only heard Zheng Lao reply, "According to the imitation of the famous French painter Corot, no one admits that it is a genuine product, my foreign friend once took it to the auction company for auction, and the people in the auction company laughed at him, he wanted money and wanted to go crazy, it was not Corot's work at all, it was indiscriminate, and it could not be elegant." ”

"Oh, is that so?" He Qing nodded, his pupils shrunk, as if he was thinking about something.

The two had already walked not far in front of the old Western oil painting while talking casually, and He Qing took a closer look.

I saw that the painting depicted a woodcutter busy chopping wood in the forest, with bright colors and a strong breath of life, which was obviously a realistic work.

Although He Qing's appreciation of oil painting is superficial, he does not have any problems with the imitation in front of him, and in his eyes, there is no difference between that painting and some famous paintings in the history of foreign painting.

He Qing was fond of history when he was in school, he was not only familiar with the 5,000-year-old history of China, but also studied foreign history.

"Not the real Corot?" He Qing secretly wondered.

As his mind turned, the chaotic red light had converged in front of his eyes, and a trace of it shot into his eyes.

In an instant, he looked at the ins and outs of the painting "The Woodcutter in the Woods......

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, He Qing whispered, and at this moment his face was full of doubts, as if something was abnormal.

"He, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this painting? Seeing He Qing staring at the painting with a somewhat strange expression and muttering to himself, Zheng Lao couldn't help but be surprised.

He Qing came back to his senses and said to Zheng Lao: "Zheng Lao, this painting is not like Ke Luo's work. ”

"Not really." Zheng Laoguan said.

He Qing had a solemn look on his face and said, "No! I didn't mean that! I mean, this painting shouldn't have been Corot's work in the first place, because the styles between the two are so different. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Listening to He Qing's explanation, Zheng Lao suddenly cheered up, he really wanted to know the true law of the other party.

He Qing replied solemnly: "This painting has no signature, only the specific age marked, so there is no clear painting that must be Corot's, and if the author is imitating Corot, it stands to reason that Corot's name should be deliberately left, but there is no trace on it." Zheng Lao, I suspect that the origin of this painting is not simple. ”

"Are you this "Woodcutter in the Woods" not an imitation of Corot's "Woodcutter", but has another origin?" Zheng Lao asked.

He Qing nodded and said, "Yes." At the beginning, the collector of this painting was wrong, he mistook it for Corot's work, so he put it up for auction in Corot's name, and it was determined that it was a fake. ”

"Makes sense!" After listening to He Qing's analysis, Zheng Lao nodded heavily and said, "Your suspicion is very reasonable, this is indeed the case, my friend made this "Woodcutter" the original work of Corot at the beginning, so he made a mistake all the way. He, according to you, this painting may be from another famous artist? Who is this person? It seems that you also know a lot about foreign art, yes, the more you know, the better! ”

He Qing hurriedly shook his head and said modestly: "Old Zheng, you have won the award, I just understand a little, I used to have a friend who studied painting, and I once stayed in his studio for a while, so I have a little research on the history of the development of oil painting in the world." ”

He can only explain it in this way, before exploring the mystery of the painting, he was a complete layman, and he would never want to break his head, but now he has insight into the "birth" of the painting and knows its extraordinary origin.

"He, putting aside all the laws of others, whose do you think this painting belongs to? Which painter's work is it? Zheng Lao asked, his curiosity became stronger and stronger, and He Qing's questioning instantly made the Western oil painting that he was originally very bad look mysterious and unpredictable, and he just wanted to figure it out as soon as possible.

He Qing said: "Elder Zheng, do you have a book about art?" It is an introduction to each school of painting. ”

He didn't answer the rhetorical question, and Zheng Lao replied, "Yes." Do you want it now? ”

He Qing nodded in response: "Well, let's go, maybe we can find the answer from there." ”

"Come with me." Zheng Lao said, and then he took He Qing and walked back to the outer room of the study, which is also the place where the books are stored.

It didn't take long for Zheng Lao to dig out a tome of books, which was the one He Qing was looking for.

At that moment, the two of them flipped over on the desk, and after some searching for the number, He Qing soon found important information.

"Elder Zheng, you, I think that "Woodcutter in the Field" is the work of this painter." He Qing pointed to a portrait of a character in the book.

"This is Miller!" Zheng Lao was amazed, "Miller is the most beloved painter in the history of modern French painting!" His "Gleaning" is famous, and there are illustrations of this painting in history books! As far as I know, Miller's posthumous works have always been an important object of collection in museums and collections such as the Louvre Museum in France, and many years ago his early works could fetch a high price of nearly one million francs. Congratulations, you...... This painting is the real work of Miller?! ”

"Well, yes!" He Qing nodded vigorously and said unequivocally, "Zheng Lao, Miller is a genius in the history of painting, but he was poor in his early years, and he could only barely make a living by painting hard, and his life in his later years improved, but it was not very beautiful, his paintings were not expensive at the time, and they were easy to buy, so there was a large outflow, but it was only after his death that his works began to attract attention." In my opinion, this painting is one of Miller's earlier works, but its style has matured by this time. The "Woodcutter" was painted in 1850, and Miller's slight influence on the painting world began in the 60s, so it is unlikely that it is a copy of Miller. The key is that we will draw the style, "Gleaning", and "Shepherd", is the style very similar? And there are obvious differences with Corot's. If it had to be an imitation, it would have to be Miller's! ”

While flipping through the illustrations of Miller's works, Zheng Laohou couldn't stop nodding and said with a smile: "The analysis is very incisive!" He, I'm right, that painting may be Miller's real work, but it's been buried! ”

He glanced at He Qing up and down, as if he had a new understanding of the other party.

As the saying goes, "Shibei treats each other with admiration for three days", but this time has not been spent on getting along, but Zheng Lao has been impressed by He Qing.

"He, you're amazing!" Zheng Lao exclaimed, "I didn't notice anything unusual about that painting at all, and you came out all of a sudden, what a deep eyesight!" The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrible......"

He was pleasantly surprised and looked very excited!
