Chapter 935: The Treatment of Oil Paintings
Hearing Fu Lao's words, many teachers or professors from Huaxia colleges and universities next to him nodded in agreement, and their hearts were like turbulent waves, extremely uncalm.
The hundreds of thousands, millions of objects that Chen Yi had found before had already shocked them, but now, the things that Chen Yi had found were no longer hundreds of thousands, millions, but hundreds of millions.
A work of art worth hundreds of millions of dollars can be called a national treasure, not to mention individuals, even if it is a museum, I am afraid there are not many, but Chen Yi was fortunate to get one in the antique market.
One can imagine what a sensation this colorless oil painting of Manzoni would have caused in the Western world.
Manzoni's entire life cycle was only twenty-nine years, but he used these twenty-nine years to produce works of art that many people dare not think of, and set a record of achievements that many people cannot achieve.
Those cans of poop in them can get a lot of people to compete for, not to mention this precious oil painting.
The reason is very simple, just because the ideas led by Manzoni are the most avant-garde, which no one has imagined before.
Looking at the oil painting on the table, Dean Paul looked at Chen Yi again, and finally coughed, "Xiaoyi, eh, may I ask this oil painting of Manzoni, do you plan to sell it, I will exchange some Chinese cultural relics from my collection with you." ”
Even if he is the vice president of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and has a wealthy family, there is nothing in his collection that can reach more than 100 million yuan, and he can only exchange a few pieces for one, of course, the premise. Chen Yi was able to agree.
"Ahem. I said Paul. We haven't even opened our mouths yet, but you're getting the first shot. Hearing Dean Paul's words, Fu Lao complained half-jokingly.
Chen Yi did not hesitate, he shook his head directly, it is naturally good to let some Chinese cultural relics return to China, but what he wants is to pass the oil painting of guò to some foreign tourists. Go to the museum to see it and collect your entrance fees to do charity.
For foreigners, Manzoni's appeal is far stronger than that of some Chinese paintings and calligraphy.
If Dean Paul can come up with a Chinese cultural relic of more than 100 million yuan, then he will naturally exchange it with him, in his eyes, a Chinese cultural relic of more than 100 million yuan is more important than this Manzoni's artwork.
"I'm sorry. Dean Paul, the meaning of this oil painting is too heavy. So, I'm not going to sell it to anyone, but if you want to see it, go to my Chinese Museum. Chen Yi said apologetically, and by the way, he put an advertisement for his museum.
Hearing Chen Yi's words, a group of Huaxia professors smiled and nodded, this approach is very correct, the previous violin worth millions was sold to his own people, which is also reasonable, but now this oil painting worth more than 100 million yuan, if it is sold, it is really a thing that outweighs the loss, even if Dean Paul gave a few Chinese cultural relics that exceed the value of oil paintings, it is the same.
Just like Chen Yi's Chinese Museum, if a few precious Chinese cultural relics are put in, at best they will only cause repercussions among some Chinese people, but if this famous Italian artist, Manzoni's oil painting worth more than 100 million yuan is put into the museum, then it will not only be famous in China, but even shake the whole world.
They also know the nature of the Chinese Museum, a Manzoni oil painting, for the Chinese Museum to bring more visitors than a few Chinese cultural relics.
Hearing Chen Yi's answer, Dean Paul sighed softly, which was also expected by him, after all, this is the work of a generation of art master Manzoni, "Xiaoyi, needless to say, it is indeed more meaningful to put it in a museum for everyone to see, than to keep it at home by others." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the oil painting again, and said with some reluctance: "Now I don't expect to get this oil painting, I just want to ask you to let me take it back and study it for a few days." ”
"Dean Paul, don't be so polite, you can take it back and watch it as you like." Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand, at the Academy of Florence, thanks to the guidance of Dean Paul, he was able to have an in-depth understanding of some Italian cultures.
Now that I have this painting of Manzoni, I have only been looking at it for a few days, which is really a small thing.
"Thank you, thank you." Dean Paul hurriedly thanked him, he had some different views on Chen Yi, an oil painting worth more than 100 million yuan, just handed over to him for study without hesitation, and it would never be so simple if it was someone else.
"Haha, Dean Paul, you don't mind if we study with you." At this time, Fu Lao said jokingly beside him.
Dean Paul smiled and nodded, "It's too boring for me to do research on my own, and it's good to have more people to communicate with each other." ”
"Dean Paul, I have something to trouble you." Looking at this oil painting, Chen Yi suddenly thought of something.
"Xiaoyi, anything, no matter what, I will do my best to do it." Dean Paul said without hesitation that Chen Yi could hand over oil paintings worth more than 100 million yuan to him without hesitation, and he would naturally reciprocate.
Chen Yi smiled, "The homeless man who sold me the painting, it seems that someone in the family is sick and needs money urgently, when I saw that it might be Manzoni's oil painting, and wanted to stop him, he thought that I regretted it and accelerated out of the antique market, so what I wanted was to find this homeless man, help him cure his family's illness, and also find him a job to support his family." ”
This is the information he obtained through guò to identify the psychological activities of the homeless man, and he was originally going to help the homeless man, but he did not expect that after giving the money, the homeless man ran away without looking back.
Hearing Chen Yi's words, whether it is Fu Lao, or Dean Paul and others, they are all in awe, Dean Paul also knows some rules in the antique world, similar to the Chinese antique world, no matter what you find in the antique market, it is not allowed to find a post-account, and it is impossible to find trouble with others if you buy a fake, of course, if you find a treasure, the seller of this thing wants to get some compensation, and it will not work.
This is the rule, not to mention, the previous owner of this oil painting was still a homeless man with no social status at all, but Chen Yi wanted to take the initiative to help him.
"Xiaoyi, do you know his name, there are a lot of homeless people in Florence, if you don't know the name, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it for a while." Dean Paul then asked, and he naturally wanted to help with all his might for such a small matter.
Chen Yi showed a thick smile on his face, "His name is Marco, and I also remember his appearance, I will draw it today, and I will give it to you tomorrow." ”
"Oh, that's great, with the image information, it can be found in a few days at most." Dean Paul breathed a sigh of relief, and with the portrait, it was easier to find.
Later, Dean Paul asked the hotel staff to find a wooden board, attach the oil painting, and carefully hold it and put it in the car.
Fu Lao and the others communicated with Chen Yi for a while, and they also returned to the room separately, but the shock left in their hearts did not recede for a long time.
After these people left, Chen Yi took out a blank piece of paper and painted according to the three-dimensional image of Marco in the identification information in his mind.
Even if it is just a human image, he does so in strict accordance with the traditional Chinese painting method.
After sketching the manuscript, Chen Yi looked at it, with his advanced painting skills, there was no need to make any modifications at all, and the figures on the paintings were exactly the same as the characters in the identification information, and then he copied the characters on the white paper onto rice paper, and then began to color.
Soon, a real portrait of Marco was drawn by Chen Yi, and the painting was very real, as if a real person was standing in front of him.
The next day, Chen Yi handed over the portrait to Dean Paul, and when he saw that Chen Yi painted it so realistically, and saw that the portrait had Chen Yi's signature and inscription, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Xiaoyi, don't worry, I will definitely help you find this person, but this portrait is placed in our Florence Academy of Fine Arts." ”
Chen Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile, this Dean Paul really doesn't let go of anything, others care so much about his paintings, which also makes him feel very proud, "Dean Paul, since you have spoken, then how can I be embarrassed to come back." ”
"Haha, waiting for my good news." Dean Paul laughed, took the portrait, and went to the academy in a hurry, preparing to make a few copies of the portrait and distribute it to the others, and mobilize all his strength to find this homeless man.
Looking at Dean Paul's excited appearance, Chen Yi was a little amused, and he also hoped to find this homeless man as much as possible and give him the help he needed.
Over the course of the next two days, Dean Paul mustered all his strength to find the homeless man, whose wife was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, and he sought the thousand euros he had received from the sale of the painting, just so that she could have a dignified funeral after her death.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Yi did not hesitate and directly asked Dean Paul to transfer the homeless man's wife to the most luxurious hospital in Florence.
When Chen Yi saw this homeless man, he was at a loss for what had happened suddenly, and some unknown people suddenly came to help him and sent his wife to the hospital, and it didn't cost a penny, and those people didn't look like they were from the social welfare institute at all.
