Fang Yi remembered something interesting, now Fang Yi wanted to complete a piece of Rembrandt's work, and now there is only about one-fifth of this work left. And this work was not destroyed by the fire of war or by the hands of others, but by Rembrandt himself, and it was the artist who created it who personally divided his efforts into several pieces.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention Rembrandt's situation at that time, the old Lun used to be sad and super beautiful, and now when it comes to Rembrandt, everyone thinks of his masterpiece "Night Watch". It was from this masterpiece that Rembrandt's reputation at that time plummeted from the pride of the sky, and slowly the rich people at that time felt that Lao Lun had passed his peak, and the things painted by this person could no longer be seen.

In addition, Lao Lun's first female wife also died of illness, and his wife's money was all left to his son, Comrade Lao Lun later got his son's nanny, and then had a lover, which was intolerable in the church at that time, and Comrade Lao Lun was naturally despised and criticized by everyone, so few people in Amsterdam at that time asked Lao Lun to paint, as a painter, no one paid for his own painting, and of course his life was not very good.

When Amsterdam's city hall was just being built, now the turning point for Lao Lun has come. Originally, those people didn't expect Lao Lun to commission another artist to paint the new town hall, but this unlucky guy didn't paint yet, so he hung up. At this time, someone proposed to let Lao Lun come, and at the beginning, many people disagreed, thinking that Lao Lun's current painting style was unsightly. The recommended one was persuaded, which means that Lao Lun is now poor and is about to sell his kidney. I shouldn't mess around. Everyone listened to it and thought about it for a while, too? If you can't eat, who will offend the bread delivery, so I chose Lao Lun to paint this work.

This work is also very simple, let Lao Lun draw the story of the founding of the Netherlands. That is, the former Batavians rebelled against the rule of the Romans and established the Netherlands. The leader of the time, Krentis? Sphillis gathered the leaders of the various tribes in the Netherlands at that time to discuss the rebellion against the Roman Empire.

Chinese don't know this thing, but when it is put in the Netherlands, it is a well-known story. It's like we look at the work of the founding ceremony, and the city hall in Amsterdam is also the meaning, the founders of the Netherlands are painted a little more elegantly, and the techniques are also a little classical, all in all, the founding heroes must be tall. Only in this way can the work maintain the correctness of the consistent political direction.

Everyone thinks that Lao Lun is poor and honest. You should use your previous techniques to draw the heroes of the founding of the country, but they are wrong! When Lao Lun delivered his finished work to the town hall, everyone opened the curtain on the canvas to take a look. I was taken aback.

In the center of the canvas, the founding Krentis, the Dutch hero, is a one-eyed dragon with bells and whistles on his face. Standing behind a broken table. The people around the table are also hideous-looking, not good people at first glance, and the golden light on the picture illuminates the faces of these people, which adds to the meanness and obscenity of the characters in the painting. Anyway, this work is less like a tribute to the French and British friends in the Netherlands, but more like a meeting of bandits preparing to launch a counter-revolutionary rebellion.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, it was estimated that the old men of the town hall were immediately startled. Taken aback, of course, I was outraged: we paid you to paint the Dutch statehood, not to put you on the side of the Romans and think it was a rebellion! The founding heroes of the Netherlands have become these abominations. A crude traitor?

How could such a work be recognized by the city of Amsterdam, hung not long ago. It is estimated that the work was taken in an hour at most, and then the officials sent Lao Lun to carry it home. As for paying? Don't even think about it, you should have snickered if you weren't convicted of a counter-revolutionary crime.

Who accepted the painting? Don't say that it was said before, it is now, you find someone to paint a picture of the founding of the country, and then in the scene, Taizu is painted as a big man with a face of meat on his chest, holding a pig-killing knife in his hand and a melon skin hat on his head, Taizu's comrades-in-arms are all fierce, and then the founding prime minister is holding a big iron basin in his hand, and he doesn't know whether Lu Dao is filled with wine or blood, and he is swearing blood. When you finish the painting, you send it to the local city hall to see it, and they give you permission to hang it in the lobby of the office building to see what they have to say. That's definitely not going to let you hang!

If there is really such a heartless person who wants to do this, a friend who knows the truth and has a little brain reminds you to bring a quilt in addition to painting, because nine times out of ten your friend will be sent directly to the country to eat and drink, and there are free prison guards standing guard outside the door. Let's be realistic, it's still a question of how many days your friend's quilt can be covered after entering, maybe it won't be used for the New Year, and he will no longer be afraid of any cold and hot days.

Artists, especially big artists, always have a kind of paranoia in their heads, and Lao Lun is like that. It's not that Lao Lun stood on the side of the Romans, but at that time, some so-called elegance emerged in the Netherlands, and gradually the Dutch people who had money began to pursue petty bourgeoisie in the words of the eighties, and in more fashionable words, they began to pretend to be forced.

This trend spread, and the whole of the Netherlands gradually lost its former piety and simplicity. Lao Lun's work is to remind the Dutch people that we have to maintain the roughness and tenacity of our ancestors, we are not Italy, we are not France, we are the Netherlands.

Lao Lun's cry turned into playing the piano to the cow, and when he returned home with the painting, Lao Lun found that there was no surplus food at home, what should I do now? I had to start the knife and fall, of course, not from the palace, people started to cut this work into several pieces, hoping that someone could buy one of them, in exchange for some rice to carry home to live, but unfortunately no one wants such a work.

After Comrade Lao Lun curled his braids, someone found this work at home, and after a hundred years, many Western masters said that they were influenced by Rembrandt. The Dutch found out that Comrade Lao Lun, who was abandoned by Amsterdam, was so good, and invited him back into the museum as the pride of the Netherlands.

Now that Fang Yi has seen the part, he will naturally have an overall image in his mind. However, it is impossible for Fang Yi to paint all the scenes of things as in the original work, in case the rest of the parts are pulled out of that blur, how can he explain that some unrelated things are drawn by himself? It's okay to play, but safety comes first!

Thinking this thing was interesting, Fang Yi turned off the TV, lay on the bed like this, and began to focus on the cut piece, thinking about how to change the rest of the part, that kind of crazy brushstroke style is naturally to be completely retained, and it is almost the same when it is placed in the scene.

Another point is that although this work is huge, the brushstrokes are wild and do not pursue too real to the photo-like realism, which can save a lot of time for Fang Yi now. This thing can be regarded as a kind of self-amusement in the process of his own creation. However, unlike his pseudo-Pissarro, Fang Yi is ready to avoid this work, and you are welcome to see it after the painting is finished!

Fang Yi closed his eyes and thought about the original work in his mind, whether there should be a guard on this side, whether the wooden poles on the wall of the house could be made a little rougher, and the number of roots was a little less. The more he pondered, the more excited Fang Yi became, he simply jumped up from the bed, walked to his bag, took out a sketchbook, and began to write a small draft directly on it.

"Yi! Let's go to dinner together" Fang Yi heard a knock at the door, walked over and opened the door, and saw Artur standing at the door.

Artur looked at the sketchbook in Fang Yi's hand, then glanced at it and asked, "What are you going to do?" Artur, who had visited the museum, naturally knew what Fang Yi's current sketchbook was drawing.

Looking at the things on it that stretched out in addition to the pictures he had seen, he asked, "Do you want to make up for this work?" ”。

"Uh-huh!" Fang Yi nodded at Artur.

"You're really free," Artur shook his head and opened his mouth to continue, "Do you want to go down to dinner with me?" ”。 Complement Rembrandt? Artur thought that Fang Yi was really bored today, picked up the sketchbook and drew it for fun, no matter how he thought, it was impossible to think that Fang Yi would really complete Rembrandt's works.

Fang Yi waved the sketchbook in his hand, took two steps towards the door and threw the notebook on the table. The two stood together at Anders' door.

Calling Anders and Ruud, the four of them went to the restaurant to eat together. During the whole meal, Artur didn't mention Fang Yi's completion of Rembrandt's painting, thinking that Fang Yi was joking, and Artur was not such a lively character as Anders. Fang Yi naturally didn't mention it, and was thinking about how to change it without losing the original roughness.

For the next two or three days, Fang Yi stayed in his room and fiddled with the work of Rembrandt, and never went to the exhibition hall again. After the exhibition in Los Angeles ended, Fang Yi was almost ready, and decided to start preparing for this matter after returning to Paris.

The original is not small, this work is hung on the arch wall of Amsterdam City Hall, a few meters larger into a few meters larger, if you directly stretch such a large canvas, the whole living room is not enough to put this painting. Even if the space of the house is enough and the painting is completed, if you want to transport it out of the home where Fang Yi lives now, I am afraid that there is no second way but to break off the roof.

However, Fang Yi had an idea, and directly divided it into several pieces to paint, anyway, the original work was also cut, and it was appropriate to do it himself! (To be continued......)
