As an employee working in a bank in Vilna, Patrick has always been on time to work and off work, honestly since the beginning of the work has not taken a few leaves, now Austria's economy is a little better than the whole of Europe, but it is not much better, and the unemployment rate is now steadily rising, these things have put a lot of pressure on Patrick, if he can't keep his current job, and then want to find another job with the current economic situation, where is it so easy.

"Patrick! If you look at these rich people, it's 30 million dollars to pay for reputational damage," a colleague said as he shook a magazine at Patrick during lunch.

Patrick doesn't care about these rich people's affairs, because he is too far away from him.

"Look at this painting, this Chinese liar painted this picture is enough for us to eat for a lifetime, if I have such ability, I don't mind being a liar at all!"

Patrick turned his head to look at the painting in his colleague's hand, and after looking at it, he felt a little familiar, and the entire page of this magazine was printed with Fang Yi's imitation of color pages. Next to it was the remnant of Lauder's hand, and Patrick looked at the fragment for a while, and felt that a piece of gray painting in it was very familiar, and there was a feeling of seeing each other.

"What kind of work is this?" Patrick asked, opening his mouth to his colleague.

"Rembrandt's work "The Rebellion of the Batavians", this piece is said to be a lost part, this place is the authentic work that now exists in the museum, and the largest piece is the imitation of the Chinese. Now everyone suspects that this matter is a hoax jointly created by this American and the Chinese! ”。

Patrick looked at it for a few moments, and was ready to drink his soup, the spoon just reaching his mouth. Patrick's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, and he remembered that he felt something familiar to him. I grew up looking at similar things. Similar to the remnants of the magazine, they were the ones that hung in his room on his small farm.

Thinking of this, Patrick immediately put down the spoon in his hand, asked his colleague to come over to the magazine, flipped through it carefully, and read the whole article throughout, Patrick asked his colleague, "Is there a larger picture of this kind?" ”。

"You want to see this?" He looked at Patrick and nodded. My colleague opened his mouth and said, "You can search on the Internet, now this painting is simply too famous."

The rest of the day at work, Patrick thinks about what he has hanging at home whenever he has free time. When I got off work, I immediately picked up my coat and walked towards the door. Patrick's unusual behavior surprised his colleagues. Looking at Patrick's figure, who had been waiting for ten minutes after work, and would take care of almost everything at hand before leaving, he was a little puzzled.

Once in the car, Patrick dialed his cell phone and called his wife: "Edith." I'll go to the farm. It may be a little later! Hearing the cry of his daughter not long after her birth, Patrick said, "Sapina is crying again?" ”。

His wife, Edith, replied with a smile: "It'll be fine in a while, you go early and go home early, and you must be careful when driving on the road."

"I know," Patrick said to his wife, and started the car. Heading towards his family's old farm, Patrick inherited the small farm from his deceased father, but because Patrick didn't like the poor life on the farm and moved to the city, the farm is now rented to others and paid to himself a sum of money every year.

It was almost eight o'clock when we arrived at the farm. Makai took the painting off the wall, and Patrick chatted with the people before driving back. It was eleven o'clock in the process. By the time Patrick returned home, his wife had gone to bed with the baby.

Hearing the door open, Edith got up from the bed, saw her husband back in the living room with a picture frame, looked at the things on the frame, and opened her mouth to ask, "You went to the farm to get this?" Where are you going to hang it up? ”。

"It's not hanging, I have some doubts" Patrick said to his wife, then put the painting in his hand and walked towards the small room, where he put his own computer, turned on the computer and began to search for the work that his colleague said, looking for a few are not big enough, it took almost half an hour to find a big one, which looks like he got back from the farm, and keeps zooming in to see, looking at it, Patrick's eyes light up. Because what I got back is very similar to what the Chinese liars draw.

Edith walked up to her husband's side at this time, put a cup of coffee on her husband's table, looked at the things on the screen and said in surprise, "Why is this so similar to the painting you brought back?"

"This painting in our house is probably a genuine Rembrandt painting, part of a work," Patrick speculated to his wife.

"You mean it's Rembrandt's work?" Edith asked, looking at her husband incredulously.

Patrick nodded: "Well, but this is my speculation, I want to send this thing to the museum tomorrow to be identified." At this point, Patrick was a little hungry and said to his wife, "Is there anything to eat at home, I haven't eaten tonight?"

"Yes, I'm going to heat something up, it's still a chicken breast, I'm going to make you a burger" Edith quickly turned and walked towards the kitchen at home.

After eating, taking a shower and returning to bed, Patrick turned off the light but couldn't sleep, thinking that if it was really as he speculated, the things that had been passed down in his family for two or three generations were Rembrandt's true works, and his life would be much better now, and if he saved a little flower, maybe it would be enough for a lifetime. Any economic crisis, any unemployment, has nothing to do with one's own family.

With this dream in mind, it was not until three o'clock in the night that Patrick fell asleep. Patrick, who had only slept for three or four hours, got up at six o'clock in the morning, turned on the computer again, looked at the Chinese imitation again, and then called the company, took a morning off, and drove to the Werner Museum with the painting.

When he arrived at the museum and handed over the painting to the expert expert, Patrick naturally returned to the company to continue working. While going to work, I was nervously waiting for news from the museum.

If Patrick's work is really timely, not only for Fang Yi, but also for Lauder, it will be like a timely rain. The appearance of this work will immediately cleanse the name of the liar hanging on the two brains, correct the name of Lauder's work, and also provide evidence of imitation of Fang Yi's imitation.

Patrick's family heirloom has always been regarded by his family as the work of an anonymous painter of the Extractive School, which was originally vertical on Rembrandt's work, and the light below can already see the original work in the museum, because there are no figures or anything, just some frenzied brushstrokes, and it looks more pleasing horizontally than vertically, and it has been hanging on the wall of the farm, and for two or three generations this painting has not felt that the painting is worth more than the farm. Freedom didn't think of identifying whose work it was, and who would spend this kind of unjust money.

Within two days of being in the office, Patrick received a reply from the museum, telling Patrick that the fragment he was holding was most likely a piece cut off by Rembrandt. And he proposed to get the Swedish museum and compare it with the original "Batavian Rebellion". Because the one in Patrick's hand can be seamlessly integrated with the museum's original work when it is erected.

As for the final result, of course, it was as Patrick wished. The work in his hand proved to be part of Rembrandt's "Rebellion of the Batavians". The media that got the news immediately spread the news, and a new part was discovered! The news is now flying from one media outlet to another as if it had wings on it.

Soon the news flew across Europe and across the Atlantic, and compared with the brushstrokes in Patrick's fragment, then the color on the top, and then with the ruined fragment in Lauder's hand, Lauder's was also determined to be genuine.

With the proof of the two authentic fragments, the value of Fang Yi's imitation has been further enhanced, because the walls, brushstrokes and layout on the remnants are very similar to Fang Yi's works, and now even some art critics and appraisers are impressed by Fang Yi's imitations, and the inferences that evaluate this imitation are generally similar in shape, and there is not much difference between the imitation of Rembrandt's works in terms of level.

Fang Yi didn't expect that because he had completed Rembrandt's works on a whim, causing such a big turmoil, the whole incident would last until Christmas. On the whole, it can be called a twist and turn. But the final result is indeed very satisfying, hello, hello, everyone!

Lauder proved his vision, received an apology from the tabloid, and received confidential compensation. No more fools and liars, a shrewd art investor. The most failed investment of a lifetime has become one of the most proud art investments.

Patrick sold his missing film to a museum in the Netherlands for an unknown amount of money, but as soon as the boy got the money, he changed to a big house, and changed to a brand new car, and happily moved in with his wife and daughter who was only a few months old, which shows that this amount is very satisfactory to him.

As for what Fang Yi gained, it was his reputation and superb means in imitating Rembrandt's works, an artist who could paint Rembrandt's works so well, and who deeply understood Rembrandt's creative thinking, how could he not be an expert in identifying Rembrandt's works? (To be continued......)
