Chapter 264: Two Authentic Paintings

However, these words made the four people opposite red-faced, and the reason why the four of them were known as the four uniques in eastern Zhejiang was because the four of them had a deep study of eating, drinking, playing, and having fun.

The four of them swore in front of Zhao Yi that it was because they felt that although Ye Yu was brilliant in literature, he was not good at eating, drinking, and having fun.

But now it's good, not only did they break their two lines of defense in a row, but they were also humiliated in turn, and the difference between the front and back made the four of them look like frost.

"I have heard that Master Ye Danqing is wonderful, and there is no one in the world at that time, Zhang has two Danqing here, I want to ask Master Ye to identify it, I don't know if Master Ye can have Yaxing?"

As soon as Ye Yu heard this, he glanced deeply at Zhang Hong on the other side, and said in his heart that this Zhang Hong was so scheming, knowing that he was good at Danqing, but he didn't let him paint, but asked him to appraise it.

Those who can paint may not necessarily be identified; Similarly, the brick family that will be identified is not necessarily a famous Danqing family.

Just when Ye Yu was stunned, Zhang Hong had already ordered someone to take two paintings, but he didn't open them all, but ordered someone to hang one of them first.

When Danqing unfolded like a waterfall, a portrait came into everyone's eyes, and Ye Yu raised his eyes and looked at it, because this painting was painted by Saint Wu Daozi.

"Master Ye, please appreciate!" Zhang Hong made a word of invitation, signaling Ye Yu to appreciate the authenticity of this painting.

"That's ugly!"

In front of the hospitality, Ye Yu knew that he couldn't refuse, so he got up directly and came to the portrait and looked at it carefully.

The overall style of this painting is completely in line with Wu Daozi's style, in which Confucius is graceful and generous, leaning forward slightly, and holding his hands together, humble and polite.

And Confucius tied a scarf on his head, looked at his eyes with his eyes, and his hair flowed, revealing the wisdom of a sage. The works are carried out with the pen and pressed between the circulation, showing the painter's skillful techniques, and deeply have the essence of "Wu with the wind".

The higher Danqing's attainments, the more deeply he will study the paintings of hundreds of schools. When Ye Yu studied painting with his mentor Wang Ximeng in the grass house, he not only learned to be a master of calligraphy and painting, but also had a deep understanding of the paintings of famous artists of the past dynasties.

As a painting saint Wu Daozi respected by later generations, his brushwork and ink rendering were also told by his mentor Wang Ximeng, so Ye Yu can conclude that this painting is indeed the authentic work of Wu Daozi.

Zhao Yi saw Ye Yu standing in front of the portrait for a long time, so he asked, "Brother Ye, is this painting genuine?" ”

"In Ye's opinion, this painting is genuine!"

"Oh? Is Master Ye sure that it is the authentic work of Wu Daozi? Zhang Hong came over smugly and asked in a rather playful tone.

Ye Yu frowned when he heard this, turned around and took a closer look, and finally said very solemnly: "Ye is sure that this is the true work of Wu Daozi!" Why, Brother Zhang thinks this painting is not genuine? ”

"Hehe, Zhang naturally doesn't have the discerning eye of Master Ye, so he can't see the authenticity of this portrait......"

Zhang Hong smiled, and then ordered someone to take another painting and hang it on the wall, and as this painting opened, another one came into everyone's eyes.

At this time, Zhang Hong looked at Ye Yu's stunned expression, so he sneered and said, "Master Ye, what about this one?" ”

"This ......" Ye Yu was also completely stupid at this time, the two paintings turned out to be exactly the same.

The corners of Zhao Yi's mouth showed a slight smile, and then he pretended to solve the siege and said: "Hey, Zhang Hong, you are wrong, this one identified by Master Ye is the real one, as for this second one, it must be a forgery!" ”

"Shizi, having said that, Zhang is also sure that Master Ye has a unique vision, but Zhang has found many experts and unanimously believes that this painting is genuine, I don't know what Mr. Ye will explain?"

He Yong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, also came to the front and sneered: "Could it be that Wu Daozi painted two paintings back then?" ”

“……”

The room was still lively, but the atmosphere at the moment was extremely embarrassing, and Ye Yu's face was slightly red by the sarcasm of these people.

However, Ye Yu still insisted that the first painting he identified was genuine. But he couldn't find any traces of forgery in this second painting, could it be that Wu Daozi really painted two paintings back then?

This is obviously impossible, and the reason why it is so certain is because as a painter taboo to paint more than one painting, so only one of them can be true.

But the two paintings turned over and over, Ye Yu couldn't find the slightest difference, and the two paintings were equivalent to being made by one person.

Identifying an ancient painting, is to look at its gods, want to know what is true, first of all, we must know what is fake, although the vulgar brush can imitate the shape and fur of the famous master's work, but there will never be a unique charm contained in the real handwriting.

A fake painting cannot be dyed, there is no distinction between distance and proximity, height and sublimation, and the layout is even more messy compared to the real work.

The two paintings in front of me, whether from paper or ink, as well as the rendering of all aspects, are equivalent to the impression of a mold.

If I had to say which one was genuine, it would be hard to say at this moment.

"Master Ye, which of these two paintings is genuine?"

"Yes, Brother Ye, tell me, which of these two paintings is Wu Daozi's real work?"

“……”

Everyone's inquiries made Ye Yu suddenly feel a headache, at this time he was really difficult to ride a tiger, and the dilemma was particularly difficult.

This Zhang Hong first showed people with a painting, and then used another painting as a hole card, obviously digging a pit to embarrass him Ye Yu in front of everyone.

At this time, if you retreat, you will lose face, and you can swear that the first one is genuine!

But if you don't retreat, these two paintings are the same, and it's really hard to distinguish the authenticity!

Wait a minute!

Ye Yu, who was already sweating fine on his forehead, suddenly found something strange when he rubbed the paper of the two paintings with his hands!

"Both of these are actually genuine!" Ye Yu pondered in his heart for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses.

When Zhao Yi heard this, he was stunned, and said a little jokingly: "It's all genuine!?" Brother Ye, you don't really think that Wu Daozi painted two identical danqing paintings back then, right? ”

"Master Ye, your high-level remarks make Zhang quite puzzled, if these two paintings are genuine, then unless Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty is alive!"

Zhang Hong's words are conclusive, and what he says is reasonable, even a layman literati knows the truth that there are no two paintings, especially this kind of famous painting, it is even more unlikely that there will be two.

In the face of everyone's ridicule, Ye Yu disagreed and said: "It is impossible for Wu Daozi to be alive, but someone deliberately did it, but it is true......"

"Why did Brother Ye say this?"

"Then Ye Mou will talk about why there are two identical authentic paintings in this world, because since ancient times, there has been a secret technique among the people, and this secret technique is called the method of removing bones!"

"How to get rid of bones?"

Ye Yu glanced at Zhang Hong, who looked uncertain, and then said with a smile: "Yes, this method can divide the paper into two, and it can also divide a real painting into two for Danqing paintings, so Ye Moufang said that these two paintings are genuine!" ”

"Master Ye, you keep saying that these two paintings are one, I don't know what proof there is? I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public based on your words alone! Zhang Hong was very unconvinced by this, so he asked with difficulty.

"The so-called painting dragon and tiger is difficult to draw bones, and the famous paintings that penetrate the back of the paper can be divided into two, although you can get the charm in the painting, but there is still a distinction between before and after, so it is not difficult to distinguish!"

Ye Yu said, and motioned to the maid upstairs to close the doors and windows, and then lit two candles on the back of the two paintings, and then explained: "The key to identification is the seal!" ”

Everyone looked at Ye Yu's instructions, and sure enough, they found the difference between the two paintings, the stamps were one shallow and one deep, which confirmed what Ye Yu had just said.

"Shizi, please see, and the thickness of the paper of these two paintings is also different, this paper looks like Tang Dynasty paper, but in fact, it ......"

Ye Yu said and suddenly faded with his hand, and there was a gap, looking along the gap, the paper of this painting actually has three layers of paper, the paper before and after is produced in the Tang Dynasty, and sandwiched in one of the papers, looking at its color is obviously not long.

"Because some people use folk secret techniques to divide the original painting into two, the overall texture of the painting appears weak, in order to confuse the layman, so a piece of paper is mixed in the middle, mainly to restore the original thickness ......"

Speaking of this, Ye Yu smiled speechlessly: "It's a pity that smart is mistaken by smart, the flexibility of paper is natural, how can it be compared with additional adhesive paper?" ”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the wing room suddenly froze, Ye Yu looked at the strange expressions of Zhao Yi and Zhedong Sijue, and then shook his head and said: "It's a pity that a famous painting has become two nondescript works because of a momentary battle of will, why bother?" ”

"Brother Ye really opened Zhao's eyes, admire!" Zhao Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, did not pay attention to Zhang Hong, who looked embarrassed, but sat down again to raise a glass with Ye Yu.

Zhang Hong was completely speechless at the moment, he thought that he could be invincible with this kind of means, but he never thought that Ye Yu would reveal the mystery in it.

If Ye Yu can't see the mystery, then no matter how Ye Yu decides, he will enter his Zhang Hong's trap. Because these two paintings, as Ye Yu said, are separated from an original painting.

Therefore, no matter which one of them Ye Yu says is true or which one is false, it is a wrong answer.

This kind of ingenious trapping, such a secret technique, was actually seen through by Ye Yu on the spot, which not only made Zhang Hong lose face, but also shocked his heart.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Ye Yu picked up his glass and drank by himself. Such means are at the peak of the present, but for later generations with advanced technology, it is not a top-secret trick.

The so-called has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, although he Ye Yu has not been involved in the counterfeiting industry, but he also knows a lot about this area, and he also wants to hide from the world, which is really ridiculous!
