And Dean Paul, who was also standing in the study, did not politely come to Lukino's side and watched Chen Yi's calligraphy.

As the world's No. 1 Florentine Dean of Fine Arts, he has studied a lot of Chinese paintings, including calligraphy, although his Chinese language is also not good, but this does not prevent him from appreciating Chen Yi's calligraphy.

As he watched deeply, his face also showed a look of shock, he had only seen Chen Yi's painting before, and the small character inscription of that poem, but he had not really seen Chen Yi's calligraphy, and when he really saw it today, he couldn't believe that it would be written by a young man.

At this time, the people outside saw that Lukino and Dean Paul had begun to appreciate calligraphy, and immediately coaxed and said, "Mr. Luchino, we also ask to appreciate calligraphy." ”

The men spoke several times before Lukino came back to his senses from the calligraphy, looked at the crowd outside, nodded, and took the calligraphy to the table outside.

When the more than 20 people outside saw Chen Yi's calligraphy, their feelings were different, some people could understand the Chinese characters, some people couldn't, but whether they understood it or not, they all had the same feeling, that is, the whole calligraphy text, as if flowing like water, the overall feeling was very coherent, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

And those who understood, like Luchino and Dean Paul, were filled with shock.

After everyone had finished appreciating the calligraphy, Lukino sighed and looked at Chen Yi. "Mr. Chen. Thank you for being able to write such a calligraphy for me. This calligraphy has allowed me to see the birth of a new calligraphy, the artistic conception of this calligraphy, combined with the two poems, and Su Shi's artistic conception is somewhat different, which is full of shock, I have foreseen the emergence of a calligraphy master in the future world. ”

Many of the people standing next to him nodded their heads one after another. Expressing his agreement with Lu Chino's words, Chen Yi's calligraphy is already very extraordinary in the eyes of these people, and it is conceivable how great a response it will cause in China.

"Mr. Luchino, Chen Yi is not only a master of calligraphy, he is also a master of painting, and I have already seen his painting level when I was at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, just by a pair of eyes. to bring the characters to life ....... Dean Paul looked at Chen Yi at this time, and with a deep sense of shock, he told everyone about what happened at the Academy of Florence.

After listening. Everyone was full of amazement, just a pair of eyes can make a portrait of a character different, become lifelike, it is hard to believe, this young man, really have such great magic.

Lu Chino was also full of surprise, he thought that Chen Yi's calligraphy was better than his paintings, but now, his information seemed to be a little wrong, Chen Yi's paintings and calligraphy were probably on the same level.

He knew the temper of the professors in the Florentine Academy, especially Dean Paul, but Chen Yi was impressed by these people with just a pair of eyes, which shows how good Chen Yi is.

"Ahem, Mr. Luchino, Dean Paul, both of you have a good reputation." Listening to the undisguised praise of the two, Chen Yi coughed and said a little embarrassed.

"Haha, Mr. Chen is still as modest as ever, okay, it's already seven o'clock, it's time for us to start this auction, as I said before, Mr. Chen, you can auction any item at the auction, as an exchange for this calligraphy, even if it is a Michelangelo work, there is no problem, because this calligraphy, I like it very much, it is priceless."

Lu Chino laughed and said, looking at the calligraphy on the table, he did not hide his affection, these two poems are his favorites, and the calligraphy written by Chen Yi is integrated with the poems, and it is a little unexpected, how can it not be liked.

"Thank you, Mr. Luchino, it's my honor that you can like it, and as for the exchange, let's wait until the auction." Chen Yi smiled and thanked, this Luchino can say this, but he can't do this, Michelangelo's works, each one is very precious, and he can't guarantee that he will definitely photograph this work.

"Alright, let's go to the lobby for this auction." Luchino smiled and nodded, and led the group to the hall of the castle.

At this time, the whole hall was arranged with sofas according to the number of people attending the auction, and in the center, there was a large table, which seemed to be set up to display the auction items.

Luchino sat Chen Yi and Dean Paul beside him, and when everyone else had sat down, he ordered the servants in the castle to place tea and some fresh fruit and delicious desserts on the table next to them.

"Alright, let's start our auction now." Luchino clapped his hands lightly, and suddenly a servant approached with a picture frame and gently placed it on the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the auctioneer this time, and the first lot is a painting by the Belgian painter Le Meyer, who is a painter with a unique style, attracted by the culture of Southeast Asia, so he often lives in Southeast Asia, and this is also a painting called a dancer based on Southeast Asian dance."

Next, a middle-aged man walked towards the table, picked up the painting and slowly rotated it so that everyone could see the whole picture, and then introduced the origin of the painting, "Le Maier inherited the habit of the Impressionists to paint outdoors, capturing the scene in natural light, as can be seen from guò data, he painted this work facing his own garden, so the painting is full of the fresh breath of a tropical island......

Chen Yi looked at this oil painting, it is indeed full of a Southeast Asian atmosphere, in the painting, several women form a circle, around the central posture of the kneeling dancer, the dancer's posture is very graceful, and the vines around them seem to imitate the dancer's dexterous gesture and dance briskly.

There is an air of serenity in the paintings, which can be said to be the ideal peaceful place for these young girls, where they are in complete harmony with their own culture and land.

"Alright, I'm done, you can come forward and take a closer look at this painting in order." After the auctioneer finished the introduction, he stood next to him, and the five people sitting on the left walked up first, watching the oil painting continuously.

Subsequently, Chen Yi and Dean Paul also came forward to watch, for Le Maier, Chen Yi also saw in the auction information, his paintings are also active in Southeast Asian auctions, deeply loved by Southeast Asian and Western people, according to his appraisal, the value of this painting is more than 10 million, more than 50 million, according to his estimate, that is, more than 10 million yuan.

"I think you've already seen it, this oil painting of Le Maiyer's dancers has a starting price of 1 million euros, and each increase must not be less than 50,000 euros." After everyone looked at it, the auctioneer said the starting price of the painting.

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, a man raised his hand, "One hundred and fifty thousand." ”

"One million and one million." Another person who loved the painting also raised his hand and said.

In the end, this first oil painting was sold for 1.7 million euros, which is equivalent to about 11 million yuan, which is not much different from Chen Yi's estimate, which is in the early 10 million.

The second is still an oil painting, but this oil painting was created by a Chinese painter, the name of the painting is Landes's pine, and the author of the painting is the Chinese-French painter Zao Wou-Ki.

Zao Wou-Ki is no stranger to any Chinese collector, his painters are often active in various auction venues and exhibitions, he studied under Lin Fengmian, and then went to France to study and settle in France.

In terms of painting creation, he uses the form of Western modern painting and the color techniques of oil painting, participates in the connotation of traditional Chinese culture and art, and creates a painting space with changing colors, powerful brushstrokes, and rich rhythm and light, which is called the representative of Western modern lyrical abstraction.

In this work, Zao Wou-Ki uses the calm turquoise color characteristic of Chinese bronzes as the main color, although oil paint is used, but in the subtle and deep layout, it presents a change of shades like ink smudge.

The whole painting, I can't see a little real scene, it is completely abstract, but it gives people a kind of joy unique to the towns and villages of China, those abstract symbols, in the feelings of everyone, also become a flowing river, people riding on horses, and birds flying around the bright moon, every time you watch, can bring people a fresh feeling, fascinating.

Even Chen Yi, when he saw this abstract oil painting, could not help but be amazed by Zao Wou-ki's painting skills, which completely integrated Chinese culture and Western abstract oil painting, and it is no wonder that his paintings will be sought after by people in China, including Westerners.

The painting, which started at auction for 1.5 million euros and sold for 2.8 million euros, was hotly contested.

Subsequently, several works of art were displayed, including Chinese paintings and porcelain, each of which was worth more than 10 million, of which Chen Yi successfully auctioned two things, one is the cursive calligraphy of Chen Chun in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the bucket color melon and fruit dragon pattern lid jar during the Ming Dynasty, the price of each piece is more than 20 million yuan, of which the transaction price of Ming Chenghua Doucai is equivalent to RMB, more than 30 million.

The name Chen Chun is unfamiliar, but he is known as Qingteng Baiyang with the famous calligrapher and painter Xu Wei in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming and others are the representatives of the climax of the Wumen calligraphy school. (To be continued......)
