Not to mention that Yang Nianzhong felt weird, and even a little frightened by a handstand, even John on the side was so big and bold that his scalp was numb, and he stared at Abu for an explanation.

As for Abu, as soon as he saw that Yang Nianzhong and John's reaction was exactly the same as he expected, Abu couldn't help but shake his head and said with a wry smile.

"Mr. Yang, I can swear to God, I can even get this test report of Van Gogh's self-portrait, he is really the real thing that I auctioned back at a private auction organized by a count three years ago for $300 million."

Yang Nianzhong was stunned, John on the side felt a little incredible, he didn't expect this Van Gogh's self-portrait to be real, ouch Yang Nianzhong felt that there must be a story behind this painting, otherwise Abu would not have spent such a large amount of money to collect this strange Van Gogh self-portrait in his own hands.

Sure enough, Abu saw that Yang Nianzhong did not refute, crying and laughing, picked up Yang Nianzhong's cigar, and took a beautiful puff before he said it. "When I first saw this painting, I thought it was a fake, it couldn't be a self-portrait painted by Van Gogh himself, because the 13 flowers in the pot were wrong, and the corners of Van Gogh's mouth were raised to show a weird smile."

Aren't you talking nonsense? You know that something is wrong, you still buy it, and it cost 300 million US dollars, what a big injustice this must be, but I didn't expect that Abu was not only not angry when he saw the disdainful eyes of the two brothers, but also said eloquently.

"When I saw this painting, I had the same expression as you, but when I learned the story behind this painting, I knew that this painting was the unrivaled king of Van Gogh's works."

When Abu had finished speaking, he leaned back on the couch and said nothing, and Alexander took his master's words and began to speak eloquently to the middle of the Year of the Goat.

"Mr. Yang John, this painting is indeed a self-portrait painted by Van Gogh himself, and there is a very singing and crying story behind him, that is, half an hour after painting this painting, Van Gogh committed suicide."

That's right, the master of art Van Gogh committed suicide, he was tortured by his depression and became mentally ill and then committed suicide, he was poor at the time, and Van Gogh had a feeling of nostalgia all his life. At that time, Van Gogh's paintings were not accepted by the public's aesthetic opinion, thinking that he was a bit deviant, and what he painted was a work of art.

It is only after Van Gogh's suicide that his artwork will be noticed, which is why only when the great painters of Europe die, his paintings will be famous and sought after, which is the same reason, it sounds a little sad, but this is a common problem in the art collecting world.

And this portrait was painted by Van Gogh himself, why is there no beard? Because in many of Van Gogh's portraits, the yellow beard hangs on the chin. And the beard on the chin of this self-portrait is deep and very clean, and that's because he shaved it himself, and his face was very clean when he died.

And the background of this self-portrait is actually the starry sky at night, shining stars, which just confirms Van Gogh's desperate mood at that time to end his life and go to heaven, there is no pain and no discrimination in heaven, so he painted the starry sky on his self-portrait.

And the flower pot that Van Gogh held in both hands has 12 sunflowers in it, representing Van Gogh's favorite sunflowers in his life, he is always facing the sun, symbolizing hope and life. But among the 12 sunflowers, there is actually a white rose, which happens to be 13, the number represents death, and the white rose is what Van Gogh left to himself.

Half an hour after painting this self-portrait, Van Gogh used a pistol to kill himself, that is, this Van Gogh self-portrait is his posthumous work, and after Van Gogh's death this portrait was collected by his brother.

When Van Gogh became famous, his younger brother did not live well, so he sold this Van Gogh posthumous work to sell this portrait, and the head of the Count family has been until now. Three years ago, Abu bought the portrait back for $300 million at a private auction held by the count's family.

Yang Nianzhong and John all understood what Alexander meant, this portrait is indeed genuine, and it is also Van Gogh's posthumous work before he committed suicide, which is full of how desperate Van Gogh was at that time.

And that's not the point, Alexander prepared a big gift package for Yang Nianzhong and John, and he began to use his laptop to enlarge Van Gogh's eyes, and as Van Gogh's eyes enlarged little by little, Yang Nianzhong and John were dumbfounded again.

On the screen, Van Gogh's eyes actually hide secrets, and his eyes are like mirrors, reflecting what is on the table in front of him. It turned out to be a plain wooden table, with half a bottle of whiskey, a gunpowder pistol, and a palette and paintbrush that he had discarded on the table.

In other words, Van Gogh not only painted this self-portrait, but actually hid this little secret in the reflection of a small eyeball, and if you don't pay attention to it, you really can't see it, if you zoom in, you can see the things on the table in front of Van Gogh's paintings, and even the pistol he committed suicide.

This may be a small surprise left by Van Gogh before he committed suicide, which is why Abu knew that this painting was Van Gogh's posthumous work before his suicide, and there were 12 sunflowers and a white rose in it, such an unlucky number of 13, and bought him back for 300 million US dollars.

Van Gogh's sunflowers have not left many works, but there are dozens of his self-portraits, but which self-portrait is so weird? What kind of self-portrait has such a surprise hidden in the eyeballs?

It is said that Van Gogh's painting technique is extremely weird, and no one who belongs to the abstract school knows that Van Gogh actually has such a delicate painting technique, which remains in the eyes of this posthumous portrait.

It's not a surprise egg, but what is it? Yang Nianzhong finally knew why the Russian tycoon Abu took out this Van Gogh's posthumous work on the third day of negotiations, although this painting is particularly weird, representing bad luck and death.

But Yang Nianzhong's identity makes this painting feel different, why? Yang Nianzhong is Chinese, John is black, and the unlucky number of 13 is limited to the consensus of Western society, although the Chinese do not like 13 either, but they are not as disgusted as Westerners.

When other Westerners see this painting, their first feeling is a headache, and the second feeling is weird, and even a little scared. will stay away from this Van Gogh one, but this painting has too many surprises, and it can be said that it is the only pinnacle of Van Gogh's short life.

Compared with this portrait, those famous sunflowers, wheat fields, all have to stand aside, because of these reasons, Abu gambled and took out this Van Gogh's self-portrait, intending to trade with Yang Nianzhong.

Others are afraid of the number 13, but you, Yang Jianzhong, as a Chinese, are not so afraid of the number 13, right? I didn't expect that Abu, a Russian tycoon who fought the nation, would have such a delicate mind, and he also grabbed Yang Nianzhong's weakness with self-righteousness.
