Chapter 258 Blue and white dark engraved seawater green color dragon pattern plate
"The strength of young people is good, but you still have to be humble, just now Lao Gao let you take a step, you won a game, this time it was a draw, if you lose again, it will be too much of a slap in the face." Wang Guishan sneered.
Han Peacock looked at Wang Guishan's face, how to look at it is absolutely awkward, it was okay to look at this person at first, but I didn't expect that just a little disobedience to them, it became so bitter, and a person with such a small heart can actually have this kind of achievement? Is this what is called old-timers?
This should also be regarded as a kind of top student! They can't see the rise of their juniors and want to keep themselves at the top.
"Big brother, when I bought this bottle just now, the boss also gave me a partner." Seeing that the game that was supposed to be won was equalized by Xu Xiangshan, Han Xing felt that it was not a taste.
"Got a header?" Han Peacock thought in his heart, Han Xing usually does things very steadily, what does he mean by that?
"Big brother, it's the plate that was placed in front of the bottle, we bought the vase for three million, and he gave it to us as a partner, you see, I also put the plate in this box."
As he spoke, Han Xing took out a flat plate again from the box he had just taken out of the pastel blue painted gold flower vase.
The diameter of this plate is more than 20 centimeters, and the inner and outer walls are painted with green dragon patterns, and the whole utensil is a collection of underglaze blue and white, dark carving, glaze black line outline and fill in a variety of techniques, which is breathtaking.
The porcelain motif is decorated with two groups of four green dragons, the four dragons chasing each other, the two dragons moving forward, and the two dragons looking back. All are painted with black lines and green color.
Although this is a dragon pattern plate, and the inner and outer walls are green dragon patterns, and the production zuò is also very fine, which can be said to be breathtaking, but this plate is not recognized.
A dragon pattern plate like this, ordinary people would never dare to use it, if it is a royal utensil, it must be retained, this is the idea of ordinary people, so this plate has become a partner.
Han Peacock had to sigh. It's terrible to be uneducated. Such a plate can be a match.
At this time, Han Peacock's gaze at Han Xing was different, this kid was really good, he didn't tell Han Xing. Let Han Xing buy such a plate. And Han Peacock didn't know the storage of this plate.
With the pastel blue painted gold flower vase in front. It would be strange if Han Xing didn't know the value of this plate.
Although Han Peacock had never seen such a plate before, he had also heard of such a plate, and there were very few porcelains similar to this blue and white dark engraved sea green color dragon pattern plate. I have searched all the public and private collections at home and abroad, and I have never seen the same kind of porcelain.
The only one mentioned in the November 2003 auction held by the British auction house was a plate with the exact same pattern and ornamentation.
This kind of plate is easy to recognize, open, curved wall, circle foot.
The bottom glaze is smooth and smooth, the inner and outer walls are green color dragon patterns, the center of the plate is a side of the dragon, the dragon pattern outline is outlined in black color, the green color is filled, and the dragon is surrounded by green color auspicious cloud pattern.
The outer wall mouth is decorated with a circle of blue and white flowers and leaves, and the underglaze is secretly engraved with seawater reef ornamentation, and the theme decoration is two groups of four green dragons, two dragons go forward, and two dragons look back, all of which are painted with black lines outlining green color.
The whole vessel integrates a variety of techniques such as underglaze blue and white, dark carving, and overglaze black line outline and color, with complex craftsmanship and fine production, which is breathtaking.
The Capital Museum has a green dragon pattern bowl that is similar to this plate process, which is designated as a Hongji ware.
On November 10, 2003, at the London auction, a blue and white dark engraved seawater green color dragon pattern plate was sold, which is exactly the same as this plate, which is from the collection of the famous Chinese antique connoisseur Eskenazi, and is determined to be made by the Chenghua Dynasty.
In the art investment market, when it comes to Chenghua porcelain, people think of soft and clean white porcelain, clear blue and white and bright colored glaze.
Chenghua porcelain is a peak of porcelain craftsmanship in China's Ming and Qing dynasties.
No matter what kind of porcelain it is, every piece of Chenghua porcelain is a hot object in the market, and it is also a high-priced creator.
In April 1999, at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, a well-preserved Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was auctioned at a sky-high price of 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars, which became the highest transaction record of ancient Chinese porcelain in the auction market at that time.
This Ming Chenghua blue and white dark engraved seawater green color dragon pattern plate, the price is definitely not less than 10 million.
"I said, I have always known that there are many second-hand goods in the antique shop, but I never thought that there are so many such things that can be sold as a partner." Jiang Lin directly exploded.
"I'm the next Ao, why haven't I encountered such a good thing?" Liu Mingyu also felt very red.
Of course, at this time, not only Liu Mingyu's eyes were red, except for Han Peacock and Han Xing, everyone else in the room had almost red eyes.
Although I don't take 10 million too seriously, 10 million in cash and 10 million worth of unique plates can't be compared.
"Haha, I didn't expect to see two unpaid official kilns in a row, this time it was really worth the trip to the devil, I lost this game, I really don't accept it, your luck, in the words of your young people, has gone against the sky." Xu Xiangshan arrived at this kind of journey, and he couldn't be silent.
At the end of this game, Han Peacock actually won, which made Xu Xiangshan speechless.
However, if he is willing to gamble and lose, he has nothing to hide, the rules are proposed by him, and Han Xing also traded these two pieces of porcelain within ten minutes, and the profits generated by these two pieces of porcelain are definitely worth more than his brother kiln square bottle.
"Since Elder Xu has already lost, what about the conditions just proposed?" Han Peacock asked.
Xu Xiangshan said: "Since I promised you, I will naturally do it." ”
"Alright, what are you afraid of us old guys doing? As long as you show your strength, you will naturally get the respect of insiders, although today we are a little deliberately difficult for you, but as long as you win the three of us old guys, you will know in the future, what benefits you will get.
But this requires you to have real skills, and it is not so easy to climb up by stepping on the heads of our three old fellows. Wang Guishan was already a little impatient.
"What are we comparing this time?" Han Peacock really doesn't have much confidence in painting. And now that his goal has been achieved, as for his status in the antique world, it is not what Han Peacock values, even if there is no today's party, Han Peacock is confident to break out of the world in the antique world.
Wang Guishan said: "I won't bully you, as long as you draw a painting, it can be compared to my painting, and it is recognized by one-third of the people present, even if you win." ”
What Wang Guishan took out was a picture of a mountain dwelling, which can be regarded as a pure ink landscape painting. This should be his first work. Distant mountains, trees, small bridges, flowing water, and people's houses can be said to be a masterpiece with far-reaching artistic conception, such works, modern painters. There really aren't a few who can reach this level.
Such a proposition is not simple. Not to mention whether Han Peacock can come up with a painting comparable to this work. It's not easy to get the approval of the people here.
You must know that everyone here has a little level of appreciation, and Han Peacock has never painted properly.
It turned out that the most he could do was to draw a pattern. used to make carvings, if he is asked to write a large letter, maybe he can still be recognized by everyone present, but painting, it is really not Han Peacock's forte.
Complex paintings, Han Peacock can't even do a good job of layout, and although Chinese ink landscape painting looks simple, it requires a lot of skills, without a certain foundation, and it is a joke to want to paint a landscape painting with a bit of artistic conception.
"Young man, no one is perfect, there is no shame in not being able to draw and say it, as long as you leave that bronze cicada ring." Seeing Han Peacock embarrassed, Wang Guishan was proud.
"Brother Han, this old man is too annoying, you might as well draw that tiger, since you can get the tiger in my head, can't you still draw it? As long as you draw that mighty tiger, it will definitely shock the audience. Han Peacock was very surprised to hear the idea provided by Ouyang Long.
"Tiger? You mean that picture of a hungry tiger pounceing on food? This doesn't seem to work! However, after Ouyang Long's reminder, Han Peacock immediately had an idea, after all, he didn't want to give the bronze cicada ring to Wang Guishan.
With an idea, Han Peacock picked up the brush next to him and began to sketch a few lines on a piece of rice paper.
Since Han Peacock had only painted a model on stone or jade, it was the first time for him to paint seriously, but fortunately he was erudite and memorized, and he also knew some painting skills.
He first painted a bare hillside, his style of painting, absolutely belongs to freehand painting, freehand painting refers to the use of simple and generalized brush and ink to express the spiritual attitude of the object, not seeking the form of the painting method of seeking the gods.
Since Han Peacock can't resemble it at all, he can only ask for god-likeness.
If you are an art student, even if you are a child who has studied ink painting for several years, it may not be difficult to draw a few stones.
But Han Peacock didn't learn for a day, which made him a little difficult to draw stones, because he couldn't use freehand painting to paint.
There was no way, Han Peacock had to learn from Tang Bohu's technique on the Ninety-Nine Plum Blossom Chilling Diagram, and used light ink to gently outline a few stones, the ink color was very light, if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't even see that it was a stone.
Although this is a bit shameless, the stone drawn in this way is absolutely real, at least everyone who sees this painting knows that it is a stone.
After drawing the mountain rock, it is necessary to draw the tiger, because Han Peacock can clearly visualize the picture of the tiger descending the mountain in his mind, so it seems that it is not too difficult to draw a tiger that is about to descend the mountain.
This requires the use of the technique of gongbi painting, gongbi painting is to be precise, meticulous brush strokes painting, even the hair of the characters, the feathers of birds should also be drawn, the more detailed the better, and the freehand painting emphasizes the artistic conception, with chic brushstrokes to draw, a few brushes, you can paint complex objects, gongbi painting is realistic.
In a picture, freehand and fine brushwork are complete, if you are not good at freehand painting, you are good at drawing a detailed picture with a fine brush.
With the overall idea, Han Peacock silently visualized the tiger descending the mountain in his brain, and then, he just had to describe the tiger in detail according to the vision in his mind.
Because it is a picture imagined out of thin air, and it is so clear that every hair can see it clearly, such a picture is completely engraved in Han Peacock's head.
Even if he didn't think about it deliberately, he knew every detail of such a picture. Therefore, it is really not difficult for him to draw such a picture of a tiger descending the mountain now.
Watching Han Peacock draw dots on rice paper in an orderly manner, at first Wang Guishan and they just laughed, because they could see that Han Peacock really didn't have any painting skills.
In this case, they can be regarded as winning, but then, they admire Han Peacock a little.
Although the mountains and rocks are very simple, they are only lightly outlined with a few strokes. I actually drew a mountain. And the mountains are stacked on top of each other, which is very poetic.
This kind of technique is not so simple, even for some professional art students. To draw this mood. It's not that easy anymore.
"This is very similar to Tang Bohu's mountain rocks."
"I heard that he has a painting of Tang Bohu in his hand. It seems that the rumors are true. ”
"The mind is good, but there is no skill at all! It's just a picture like this, and I want to be recognized by everyone here. It's not that easy. ”
"Huh? What is it? ”
"I look like a claw."
"It's really a claw, this is a beast in a painting, right? Can you draw a beast with claws first? ”
"Haha, I know, this is the claw of a tiger, look how powerful and powerful this claw is." Ouyang Long, who was on the side, smiled, and Han Peacock adopted his opinion, which made him very happy.
"It's really a tiger, what is the expression on this tiger's face?" When Wang Guishan saw the tiger head drawn by Han Peacock, he was immediately stunned.
As the tiger's head appeared, the two front paws, the tiger's body, and the tiger's tail were revealed one by one.
Han Peacock Flower is extremely careful, the tiger in motion, every trace of its muscles trembles, every muscle activity drives the tightening of the fur, all clearly show the strength of the tiger, the swiftness of the tiger descending the mountain, the momentum of the tiger descending the mountain, and the determination of the tiger to descend the mountain, all of which are clearly expressed on the body of such a tiger.
This is a kind of beauty in motion, although it is intimidating, but this thrilling, expressed to the extreme, is beauty.
The mouth is slightly open, the tiger's waist is half twisted, the tail is raised high, one front paw grasps the ground, one front paw sticks out, and two back grabs and kicks the ground.
"I really didn't expect that with ink painting, I could actually draw such an image of a tiger."
"Who's to say it isn't! You see, the black and white tiger stripes are so godlike, this technique is simply amazing. ”
"This timid person must be so scared that he can't sleep well at night when he sees this picture."
"Don't brag nonsense, this picture is already gentle, this is a tiger descending the mountain, I can see the hungry tiger pounce at any time, compared to the hungry tiger pounce, this tiger is already gentle like a little girl." Ouyang Long didn't know what his thoughts were at this time, anyway, he didn't have a trace of hostility towards Han Peacock at this time.
After Han Peacock finished painting, he looked at this painting with great satisfaction, except that the landscape was not very clear, this tiger was not very good.
Han Peacock finally wrote the four characters of the tiger descending the mountain in block letters, and then mentioned the year, month, day and name.
After thinking about it, Han Peacock picked up an apple from the table next to him, quickly cut out a square seal with a knife, and engraved the five words "Broken Liuhan" and "Peacock".
Stained with Indonesia and left a seal, this painting is also completed.
Han Peacock's movements were seen by everyone in the eyes of everyone, but Han Peacock couldn't care about others at this time, he waited for the calligraphy and painting to dry, and immediately rolled it up, because Chen Jiayi and Liu Changfa looked at this picture at this time.
It can also be seen from here that in this room, only the two of them are Lian Jiazi, and only the two of them understand this picture.
Just after Han Peacock put away this picture, Chen Jiayi and Liu Changfa woke up.
"Don't mind! Let me look at this picture again. After Chen Jiayi came to his senses, he immediately stopped Han Peacock's movements.
At this time, Liu Changfa looked at Han Peacock thoughtfully: "A very interesting picture." ”
"Hey, this is a visualization, right? I saw a picture of the wolf roaring in my grandfather's study, and I heard my grandfather say that it was a diagram of practicing qi, and if you can understand it thoroughly, you can learn a kind of qigong.
But I see that my grandfather has watched it for decades and has not learned anything, but seeing this tiger today makes me feel that my grandfather's wolf roaring moon diagram may really be able to practice qigong. Liu Mingyu is ignorant and fearless, and has no desire, so he said it very calmly.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is more intentional.
"What is a visualization map? It can't be the picture in my head, right? I don't have to think about this in my head, it can appear on its own, can I make it not appear? I'm afraid of nightmares? Ouyang Long's reaction was still very fast.
"You bear with this first! It's good to get used to it, you've done a great job this time, so I'm not to blame for the past. Han Peacock looked at Ouyang Longdao.
Ouyang Long didn't do it: "Big brother, you are my own eldest brother, it turned out that I suffered a loss, and now that I have made meritorious contributions, don't I need to be rewarded?" ”
"Rewards? You kid is still in the inspection period, I don't believe in your character, wait! When you learn to help your grandmother cross the street, your reward will come. Han Peacock said unceremoniously to Ouyang Long.
After dealing with Ouyang Long, Han Peacock looked at Wang Guishan, he had never met this Wang Guishan before, so he didn't have any friendship, and there won't be much friendship in the future, so he wouldn't be polite.
Wang Guishan was embarrassed by Han Peacock, but he was reluctant to give up the Zigang card, after all, it was worth tens of millions.
Han Peacock saw that Wang Guishan was holding on and not admitting defeat, so he had no choice but to say: "I don't know how many people are doing it who can't look down on my painting?" ”
These people here are all human spirits, and Han Peacock is now unstoppable, and none of them want to come out and offend him, so the people here are silent one by one, as if they haven't heard anything. (To be continued......)
