The horse shapes, horse eyes, horse hooves, horse hair, horse tail, horse forehead hair, horse ornaments and rendering methods, the hook of the gossamer lines and the treatment of the characters' clothing, the opening of the face, the rendering, and the hook of the clothing patterns are consistent with Ren Renfa's "Two Horses", "Out of the Garden", "Nine Horses" and "Three Horses".
In terms of composition, it is a tiled composition, without a background foil, and retains more of the Tang Dynasty heritage.
The line uses the technique of the ancient gossamer drawing, the outline of the line is fine and round, like the spring silkworm spinning silk, the pen is closed at the place, everywhere is the bone method with the pen.
The rendering adopts the rendering method of "Wu family style" in the Tang Dynasty, also known as "Wu costume". The use of light color layer by layer rendering, such as the tulle texture of the hat, the saddle horse coat color, and the clothing of the characters, are all rendered on the basis of the unity of the atmosphere of the whole picture, seeking gradients in the same chromaticity, so that the whole work has a strong sense of movement, you can feel the pommel horse galloping, the clothes of the characters present the effect of "flying in the sky, full of wind". This is exactly what is called "Wu takes the wind".
The author of this painting, Ren Renfa, was not only a high-ranking official of the Yuan Dynasty, but his achievements in painting are also eye-catching.
Ren Renfa is a figure recorded in the "Twenty-four History", the "Minister of Water Resources" of the Yuan Dynasty, and a senior official at the ministerial level in the Yuan Dynasty.
Emperor Qianlong collected 9 works of Ren Renfa, all of which are recorded in the "Treasure of the Shiqu", 8 of which are in museums around the world, only this "Five Kings Drunken Return Picture Scroll" is the most beautiful, and it is a very important work in the Song and Yuan Dynasty calligraphy and painting in the world, which is very rare and unique.
A few decades ago, the price of this painting was definitely much higher than Mr. Xu's "Blood and Fire", and although it may not be today, the title of national treasure is beyond doubt.
This painting is 750 years old, and its historical significance is immeasurable.
Most of the Bogu shelves in the second row are Western oil paintings, and there are also some fine works.
If you distinguish by price, Xiao Yao's highest estimate is Picasso's "Girl and White Dove".
The painting is Picasso's masterpiece and will fetch at least $70 million, or more than $100 million if the competition is fierce.
After looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the two rows of Bogu shelves directly in front of him, Xiao Yao then looked at the items placed on the Bogu shelves on the left.
The first row of Bogu shelves on the left is all porcelain.
The porcelain bowl placed on the first Duobao grid is a rare porcelain treasure.
The small bowl has an extravagant mouth, a deep curved wall, and a short hoop foot. The whole body is moistened with white glaze, and there is no pattern in the vessel.
A plum tree is written on the bowl with exquisite brushwork, and its branches are staggered and vigorous, meandering, sometimes turning abruptly, but always complementing the shape of the bowl. The stamens and buds are outlined in fine brushstrokes and light ink, highlighting their elegance and purity. There are several bushes of dwarf bamboos under it, and the branches and leaves are drawn in white with double hooks and fine brushes, dense but not chaotic, and the order is orderly, which fully shows the extraordinary skill of the painter.
On the other side of the bowl, there are two five-word poems with the title of the line, the penmanship is gentle and elegant, the beginning of the sentence is sealed with gold and red material, and the end of the sentence is pressed with two seals.
Plum and bamboo are the favorite subjects of poets and painters, and both plants are resistant to the cold and have the characteristics of perseverance. Plum blossoms bloom every year in the cold spring season, the fine stamens are flourishing, full of bare and leafless branches, and the light fragrance indicates the beginning of the new year, and everything recovers. The bamboo is evergreen, and it is a rare green in the cold water of the dry mountains. Among them, there are empty knots, and the characteristics of being upright have become the expectations of a gentleman to encourage himself.
As a result, both plants have become symbols of indomitable humiliation and fearless power, and have been praised by poets and painters.
The question drawn on the bowl is very pleasing, coupled with the excellent skills of the painter and the extreme ingenuity, even Xiao Yao can't put it down.
Xiao Yao first checked the seal of the bowl, and the bottom of the bowl was printed with the words "Yongzheng Year" in Song style.
The inscription on the wall of the bowl is a poem: the moon is in the shadow of the moon, and the ink pool smells the dark fragrance. Seal: Fengcai, Shougu, Xiangqing.
This should be Qing Yongzheng enamel color undoubtedly!
In the minds of porcelain collectors, Yongzheng enamel bowls are a rare treasure. Among these colorful and delicate porcelain, there is a variety such as plum blossoms that bloom in the cold, lonely and self-reliant, with unique style, and the most elegant - that is the ink enamel recorded in the Qing court archives.
Originally, the term ink painting specifically referred to painting on paper or silk with different shades of ink, but because the white porcelain painting was painted with ochre enamel, which was particularly poetic and picturesque, it was described here under the pretense of describing it.
The top grade in the enamel color, commonly known as "Gu Yuexuan", is known for combining poetry, calligraphy and painting, and ink enamel can best show the realm of the three uniques.
Yongzheng enamel color is rare, rarely appears in the auction room, Yongzheng ink enamel color bowl has never been auctioned publicly, the rarity and preciousness of this bowl can be imagined.
Although this palm-sized bowl looks inconspicuous, Xiao Yao estimates that the market price is at least 70 million or more.
The second Duobao grid is also a small bowl, Xiao Yao looked at it, and felt that this should be the Yuan Dynasty egg white glaze secretly engraved multicolored gold bowl.
This five-color gold multicolored bowl is about 8 centimeters high, about 178 centimeters in diameter, and about 5 centimeters in foot diameter. Open, deep-bellied, ring-footed short, unglazed in the foot, with a water chestnut-like bulge in the center. The tire color is white, the glaze color is clear, and the inside and outside are full of glaze, which is a typical Shufu kiln type. The inner mouth of the bowl is decorated with a circle of honeysuckle patterns and dark patterns, and the persimmon pattern in the heart of the bowl is decorated with a Sanskrit text; the outer part of the bowl is decorated with an arc pattern and decorated with dark water ripples, and the lower part of the outer abdomen is decorated with lotus petal patterns and eight treasure patterns. The bowl is decorated with purple, blue, peacock green and enamel glaze, with gold inlays in between.
In Chinese history, the rise of Mongolia and the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty made China an unprecedented unified country since the Han and Tang dynasties, with the integration of people of various ethnic groups in the country, the rapid development of social economy, developed transportation, frequent trade exchanges, and handicraft production on the basis of the previous dynasties. The craftsmanship of blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty is a new achievement of this period, and it occupies an important position in the history of ceramics. The five-color flower and gold colorful bowl is a wonderful ceramic technology.
"Colorful flowers and gold" are limited to documentary records, and they have never been circulated in real objects in history. Since the world has never known or seen porcelain with this kind of craftsmanship, there is no pen in the "History of Chinese Ceramics" published in 1982.
In the early nineties of the last century, the National Cultural Relics Circulation Coordination Center found traces of five-color flower and gold porcelain overseas. Immediately, experts from the Modu Museum and the Palace Museum were arranged to go abroad for appraisal and inspection, and only then did they have the research results of colorful flowers and gold.
So, what is five-color flower gold porcelain?
