"I don't know the name or author of the painting, but I know what it's about. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qi Luoling said lightly.

"Oh, then I'm curious to ask, what is the general content of that painting?" Jacques asked.

"I haven't seen that painting, but I know it's a human oil painting, a young girl."

"There are many portraits of young girls, and since you haven't seen them, how can you be sure that the painting you're looking for is one of the portraits of young girls?" Jacques asked again puzzled.

"The girl in the portrait has a special mark on her arm, and when I see it, I can recognize it at a glance as I want." Qi Luoling thought for a while and said.

Liu Shiran was silent for a while and asked, "Is that painting important to you?" ”

"Yes, very important. That's why I paid Mr. Jacques a fee to be my guide. After all, I was not familiar with the city of Warsaw, and Mr. Jacques happened to be familiar with the routes of galleries and museums. With him as a guide, I don't have to be like a headless fly asking around. Of course, the most important thing is ......," Qi Luoling said.

"The most important thing?" Liu Shiran asked.

"The most important thing is that I don't have a lot of time. I only had five days to find a painting. If I can't find the portrait within five days, I'm going to lose my life. Qi Luoling tried her best to control her tone and said lightly.

Jacques and Liu Shiran opened their mouths wide in surprise and couldn't close them for a long time.

"Yes, but I can't explain the specific reason for this, I'm sorry." Qi Luoling said.

Jacques didn't ask, just silently ate dessert, probably thinking about it.

"If you're struggling, that's okay, I can find another way." Qi Luoling said.

"No...... Don't be embarrassed. I haven't had any problems with my schedule lately. I'll do my best to help you, but I'm not sure I'll find the painting. As for the pay, I don't need it, you're Shiran's friend, so you don't have to pay the salary. ”

"Thank you very much."

"Since you're so pressed for time, let's start tomorrow."

"I follow your arrangement, including time and route."

Jacques smiled and nodded.

After the meal, the three walked out of the restaurant and parted shortly after. At the time of separation, Jacques looked at Qi Luoling with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Qi Luoling walked down the street and walked back to the apartment. On the way, Qi Luoling passed by a small bookstore, walked in, and bought two basic books on painting. Back at the apartment, Qi Luoling spent the whole night reading it.

From the second day, this artistic journey with a special mission began. Jacques took him to visit galleries and museums in downtown Warsaw.

As Poland is bordered by Germany to the west and Russia and Lithuania to the east, Polish art has been gradually established in the common integration of Eastern and Western cultures and local civilizations.

For the first day or two, Jacques took him to visit several of the larger galleries in the city, which displayed modernist paintings, including portraits, folk paintings, landscapes and still lifes. Qi Luoling walked around the gallery a few times.

"Is there the painting you're looking for?" Jacques asked.

Qi Luoling shook her head.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"We can't just look aimlessly. Because there are too many private galleries, we are looking for them one by one, like looking for a needle in the sea, and the opportunity is too slim. Jacques thought for a moment and said.

"You have a point. Do you have a better suggestion? Qi Luoling asked.

"Each gallery and small and medium-sized museum has its own unique collection of works and belongs to a different genre. For example, the gallery has a collection of modernist works. Some galleries have collections of Impressionism, Fauvism, Abstraction, and more. I mean, do you know what genre the paintings you're looking for? ”

"Although I haven't seen that painting, I think the painting I'm looking for should be a creation that focuses on objective representation, rather than a work that focuses on subjective expression like Impressionism, Fauvism, and Abstraction." Qi Luoling said that the knowledge she learned from the all-night hike last night came in handy.

"Since you can be sure, our search has narrowed down further. If it is a work that is mainly based on objective representation, then it belongs to the classicism, realism or romantic style. Most of these works date from before the 20th century. Most of the collections of this work are medium-sized and large-scale museums. Jacques said seriously.

In the afternoon, the two went to the famous Museum of Modern Art in the city. This art museum is known for its large collection of works of classicism and realism.

This museum is located in Warsaw's New Town. The ambitious building has two floors, each of which is more than 10,000 square meters. The roof of the first floor is made up of pillars, joists and horizontal ceilings, giving people a sense of irreversible emptiness in it.

The museum is home to some of the most famous paintings, including masterpieces by the Raphaelites Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt and Rembrandt. Their works are basically classical painting techniques, and there are also some bold direct painting methods.

There weren't many visitors at this time, so they leisurely and carefully admired the famous paintings.

When she came to Rembrandt's work, she was fascinated by a painting of the Jewish bride.

In the picture, a man and a woman dressed in gorgeous costumes, the man's left hand is gently pressed on the woman's shoulder, the woman's right hand is lightly placed on the abdomen, and the left hand is placed on the man's right hand, while feeling the tremor of life and love. In the picture, the atmosphere is beautiful, cordial, and almost pious with heavy color and thick brush. The hands of the two are real and delicate in texture under the heavy color, and the gesture of the hands also fully shows the language of love.

Seeing this painting, Qi Luoling had an indescribable feeling, and she inexplicably felt a throbbing from her abdomen, which made her suddenly remember something......
