Chapter 1362: 1 piece of Aihong
When the scene was a little quieter, Ye Tian turned to look at Alfons, then smiled and said:
"Alphons, I have finished explaining these three oil paintings. Today is a really beautiful day, and I encountered so many valuable and top antique artworks.
I have to say that the Santouan flea market is worthy of being the most famous antique flea market in the world. It really deserves its reputation. To me, this market is really a huge treasure.
It's time for us to leave your antique shop. There are hundreds of antique stalls and antique shops waiting for me to visit, and there are countless valuable antique artworks waiting for me to discover!
Before leaving, I must say, I am really glad to meet you, and thank you very much for this antique shop, which brought me a huge surprise. I hope you will enjoy this beautiful day like me! "
With that, Ye Tian stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face, ready to shake hands with Alfons and bid farewell.
However, Alfons did not shake hands with him, but said urgently:
"Don't hurry! Steven, don't forget what you promised just now. When the transaction is completed, you will point out the other valuable and top art pieces one by one.
Being ransacked by you guys, I can only grit my teeth and admit it, who makes me inferior to others, and treats priceless treasures as rubbish, and sooner or later I will be picked up by more advanced colleagues.
However, since I know that there are still valuable top-quality artworks in the store, and they will be picked up by others, wouldn't it be a mallet? So I can only ask you to point out those artworks.
If you leave like this, then I will have to close the door and go out of business. Before I can find the top art pieces, I dare not open the door for business. I will go crazy if someone picks it up again! "
Ye Tian couldn't help chuckles as he looked at Alfons who was eager.
The remarks he said just now that he was going to leave were half true and half joking, making Alfons amused!
"Don't worry, Alfons, since I promised, I won't lose weight. That's not my style of doing things. Let's start. You'd better be mentally prepared. Then you will have a series of surprises!"
Ye Tian said with a light smile, full of confidence in his words.
"After the series of painful baptisms just now, my nerves have become extremely strong, and now no matter what, I can't defeat me. Let the surprise come more violently, everyone who comes!"
Alphonse joked, his excited eyes shined straight.
"Hahaha"
There was a lot of laughter at the scene, and everyone in the antique shop burst into laughter.
Amidst the laughter, Ye Tian walked to the classicist oil painting that Alfons had stopped in time and was about to take it, and said in a slightly regretful tone:
"Alphonse, this classic oil painting from the late Renaissance is not the work of an unknown Italian painter, let alone an ordinary painting worth only 40,000 euros!
This "Pieta", although not comparable to the one found in Brooklyn, New York, was created by Michelangelo and valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, but it is also a top-level artwork!
The painter who painted this "Pieta" is the famous painter of the late Renaissance and one of the three masters of the Venetian school, Tintoretto, who is the most outstanding student and heir of the master Titian.
To be honest, I regret it a little bit now. I should have chosen this classic oil painting as soon as possible, because this "Pieta" is your most valuable painting here!
Unfortunately, I have never been interested in religious paintings, so I didn't start at the first time. Instead, I chose Corot's "Forest of Fontainebleau", but I missed this oil painting!
Based on my understanding of Tintoretto’s paintings and my grasp of current market conditions, I value this classicist oil painting between 35 million and 50 million Euros,..."
Ye Tian, who was explaining, suddenly heard a whirring and wheezing breathing in his ear. He immediately stopped talking and turned his head to look aside.
The quick gasps came from Alphonse, from his two shop assistants, and the middle-aged white couple.
At this time, Alfons, his face flushed, his eyes fixed on the classic Tintoretto painting, without blinking his eyelids, he was extremely excited, panting like an old cow pulling a car!
The performance of the other guys was not as good as that, all of them stared roundly, their eyes were almost flying out of their sockets!
As for Betty and the others, their performance was much better. After a short shock, they regained their sobriety!
They see more of this situation, and they have long been used to it!
Seeing Alphonse's performance, Ye Tian chuckled softly, and did not interrupt, leaving them in shock!
After ten seconds, Alfons was a little awake, and immediately muttered to himself.
"Oh my God! The Three Masters of Venice! It is actually Tintoretto's Pieta, no wonder there is a bit of anti-classical tendency, this happiness is too violent, right? It can be crazy!"
"Hahaha"
Everyone laughed again, all happy for Alfons.
With this piece of laughter, Alfons was completely awake.
Immediately afterwards, the old French man could not wait to say:
"Steven, thank you so much! Thank you for raising your hand and leaving me with this "Pitta of the Pieta". To be honest, this is the most valuable painting I have ever worked on.
But I still don't quite understand, how do you see that this is Tintoretto's painting? Apart from the anti-classical tendency of this painting, other places seem to have little to do with Tintoretto? "
"Look here, Alfons, there is a very faint trace on the corner of the Virgin Mary's skirt, it is almost impossible to detect it without careful observation!
Does this trace look like a Latin T? It is the first letter of Tintoretto's name, this is Tintoretto's personal signature!
You can go to the Louvre Grand Gallery and take a closer look at the Tintoretto paintings displayed there. You will also find this Latin alphabet in those paintings.
The signatures on those paintings are not so concealed. It is not difficult to find them. Comparing the two, you will know if this is a masterpiece by Tintoretto!
I just visited the Louvre Grand Gallery two days ago and happened to see a few Tintoretto paintings displayed there, but I didn’t expect to encounter another one here!
Tintoretto’s personal signature, this is the most important evidence. In addition to this, there are some places in this oil painting, which can also prove that it is Tintoretto’s work..."
Ye Tian was about to point to other places in the painting and continue to explain, but Alfons exclaimed in excitement.
"There really is a signature here! We are really a bunch of blind men, a bunch of arrogant idiots! We haven't found such important evidence, so I am ashamed to say that we are experts!
Undoubtedly, this is the personal signature of Tintoretto, one of the three great masters of Venice and the famous Renaissance painter. I have seen it on his works before, and I remember it when you remind me!
Steven, you guy is amazing, I really admire the five-body cast! Your vision is so sharp, even the most sophisticated microscopes are no more than that! Simply amazing! "
After a burst of exclamation, Ye Tian continued to follow the words just now and introduced this Tintoretto masterpiece.
After introducing this classicist oil painting, he walked to another oil painting standing on the ground and leaning against the wall, pointing to the oil painting and saying:
"This Baroque oil painting from the early seventeenth century is also a valuable top art, and its value is no less than that of Pissarro!
The painter who created this oil on canvas is a famous Flemish genius painter and one of the representatives of Baroque art, Jacob Jordans,..."
About ten minutes later, Ye Tian finished introducing the few paintings that he had discovered long ago and left Alfons with a soft heart. Every painting was introduced very carefully, irrefutable!
After completing this promise, he left, took Betty, and the three priceless oil paintings, left the Alphonse antique shop, and continued his crazy looting of the Santouan second-hand market!
When they walked out of the antique shop, the few people who stayed in the shop immediately sighed!
"My God! Steven this guy is just a monster~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's so horrible, what antique works of art can escape his eyes?"
"The Santouan flea market is over! It must be looted by a crazy guy like Steven! All the antique works of a little value will be in his bag!
Look at it, after today, the world's largest and most famous antique and second-hand goods market will be full of mourning. Don't even think about rejuvenating for a long time! "
Just when Ye Tian and the others walked into the next large antique shop and continued to scan the goods frantically, everything that happened in the Alphonse antique shop had spread through the entire Santouan flea market!
Without exception, everyone who heard the news was completely stunned and could hardly believe their ears!
Of course, there are many guys who envy and hate almost crazy, some who admire Ye Tian, and some who admire Alfons!
Even the entire French antique art collection field was completely shocked by what happened in the Alphonse antique shop, everyone was stunned!
