Chapter 1364: Obsessed French
It took forty to fifty minutes before Matisse and the others moved all the valuable antique artworks upstairs and opened them into several rooms.
The top antique artworks with the highest value naturally moved into the presidential suite where Ye Tian and Betty lived. Only by placing these treasures within his control, could Ye Tian feel relieved!
The other antique works of less value were put in the rooms of Matisse and Anderson, and there was no problem with safety under the all-round monitoring without any blind spots!
While Matisse and the others were carrying antique artworks, Martinez and the others were sitting in the living room of the presidential suite, drinking coffee and waiting patiently.
When they saw a piece of antique artwork being moved into the presidential suite, and the huge presidential suite was about to be completely filled, everyone was completely stunned!
Only then did they really understand how many valuable antique artworks Ye Tian swept through the Santouan flea market, and how miserable the situation of those antique dealers in the Santouan flea market was!
Undoubtedly, this is definitely an extremely crazy ransack, a ruthless bloodbath, which has never been seen before, has never happened in France, or even in the field of antique art collections around the world!
Of course, this cannot be compared with the looting led by the government and the army, such as the looting of the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces, and the looting of Europe and North Africa by Napoleon.
Compared with those famous planned and organized robberies in history, Ye Tian's crazy looting of Santouan's second-hand goods market is nothing to mention!
When Matisse and the others finished the removal work, Martinez said immediately:
"Steven, you guys are crazy to the extreme. Who can think of it, you ransacked so many antique works of art from the Santouan flea market, it's incredible!
It is completely conceivable that the Santouan second-hand market must be full of grief now. For a long time to come, the Santouan second-hand market can only slowly lick the wounds and recover!
Can you now show what you have gained from this trip to the Santouan flea market? We also want to see what treasures you found in that flea market! "
"Of course there is no problem, but you have also seen that there are many antique artworks here. Appreciation and appraisal one by one is obviously impossible. It will take a long time!
In view of this, I decided to pick out a few more representative antique works of art for everyone to appreciate. This will save some time and explain the problem! "
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, and proudly stretched out his index finger to make a circle in the air, and pointed to the many antique artworks that filled the room, like a display of trophies!
Seeing his exaggerated action, Martinez and the others couldn't help but feel a burst of anger, another burst of colic in their heart, and at the same time they were so envious that they were almost going crazy!
"Well, Steven, there are indeed too many antique artworks here. It is really impossible to appreciate and appraise them all. It is already evening after all, just do it your way!"
Benova nodded and said, the envy in his tone could not be concealed.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then got up and left his seat, walked to the side of the fireplace, picked up an oil painting and returned to the center of the living room, and placed it on the emptied coffee table.
Immediately afterwards, he gently uncovered the white cloth on the oil painting and began to introduce the oil painting to everyone on the scene.
"Gentlemen, this is the outstanding work of French realist painter Corot in the nineteenth century, "The Forest of Fontainebleau", created in the late 1920s and early 1930s!
Although this oil painting is an early work of Corot's artistic career, it has a very special meaning. Its color is fresh and bright, which is different from the silver-gray tone Corot used to use. It is especially precious!
I wonder if you have seen the painting by Corot displayed in the new gallery in New York? That oil painting has many similarities with this one. Comparing the two, it should not be difficult to distinguish the authenticity of this oil painting!
All of you here are top antique art appraisal experts. They have a very sharp vision. I won't say anything more. It is best to appreciate and appraise it by yourself, gentlemen, please! "
After speaking, Ye Tian made a please gesture, and then sat back in his seat with a smile on his face.
The French guys ‘hullah’, surrounded the coffee table, everyone was very excited, their eyes shining straight!
At the same time, Anderson walked into the living room with a few magnifying glasses and placed them on the coffee table for those French guys to appreciate and appraise!
Then, there was a sound of admiration in the living room, endless!
"It's so beautiful! This is the Fontainebleau forest in the 1820s. It is in the same line as the scenery depicted in Corot's other paintings, but the viewing angle is slightly different!"
"Obviously, this is a landscape painting created by Corot on the spot, not a reminiscence landscape painting, or an oil painting created afterwards based on sketches. It is very valuable!"
"The hazy twilight, the trembling forest, the clear lake, the pen is loose and full of charm, the virtual and the reality are in harmony with each other, and the paintings are full of poetry of dream and reality!
There is no doubt that this is the elegant Corot, an immortal monument in the history of landscape painting! God! I go to the Santouan Flea Market every week. Why is it not me who found this painting?
God is so unfair, he loves Steven too much, all good things fall to that guy, but others can only watch and envy themselves! "
In the sound of admiration, the authenticity of this "Forest of Fontainebleau" was already clear.
In less than ten minutes, all the antique art appraisal experts in the living room agreed that this "Forest of Fontainebleau" is indeed Corot's masterpiece, and it is a valuable and top art!
Due to time constraints, after the conclusion of the appraisal was made, Ye Tian had to wake up the obsessed French guys out loud. If not, God knows how much time they will spend on this painting.
"Gentlemen, in view of the time limit, let's enjoy this "Forest of Fontainebleau". Let's enjoy the next antique artwork. It is also a huge surprise!"
With that said, Ye Tian got up and walked to the side of the coffee table, and under the fiery and reluctant gaze of Martinez and the others, he put away the picture of "Forest of Fontainebleau".
After putting the painting back next to the fireplace, he brought a box over and put it on the carpet next to the coffee table!
Immediately afterwards, he opened the box, took out a small marble head sculpture from it, and carefully placed it on the solid wood coffee table!
Later, he began to introduce this classicist style sculpture with a very excited tone.
"Gentlemen, the sculptures presented to everyone at this moment are from the hands of Donatello, the most outstanding sculptor in the early period of the Italian Renaissance and the 15th century!
Everyone must know Donatello. His sculptures are in the Louvre collection. He is a representative of the new era of sculpture in the early Italian Renaissance,..."
Before Ye Tian's voice had fallen, the French guys had already rushed forward, surrounded the coffee table, and began to admire the classicist sculpture!
The expressions of each of them are extremely excited, and their eyes shine straight, just like seeing the yellow virgin of their first love!
At the same time, they kept exclaiming, making the atmosphere in the living room even more fiery!
"I didn't expect the rumors to be true. There are sculptures by Donatello in the Santouan flea market. It's incredible!"
"It doesn't matter if this sculpture is a work of Donatello~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I have decided that I will go to the Santouan flea market twice a week in the future. I believe that God will always look after me once!"
Time passed quickly, and it was 9:30 in the evening, and it was time for dinner!
But Martinez and the others are still very enthusiastic, admiring antique art one by one, without the slightest fatigue or the slightest intention to leave, everyone is extremely obsessed!
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian didn't interrupt them and let them continue to appreciate their trophies. Anyway, there is no shortage of hair, but they can create greater momentum!
Just when those French guys were obsessed and arguing about a Chardin oil painting, Ye Tian had already ordered his men to order a sumptuous dinner in the hotel restaurant and deliver it to the presidential suite!
Then he reminded Matisse to step up guard and beware of all young people!
Those antique dealers who have been ransacked by him frantically and must be in distress at this moment, may not be reconciled to swallow this bitter pill, they will take risks if they do not keep them together!
