Chapter 1700: The secret behind romantic oil painting

Ye Tian returned a piece of silverware in his hand to the booth, then pointed to an oil painting on the booth and said:

"Can I take a look at that romantic oil painting? Mr. Tino, that painting looks interesting and it is worth studying."

When he said this, his expression was very calm, and his face was always filled with a charming smile, without seeing anything unusual.

But his heart was very excited, and his heartbeat even accelerated a lot.

At this time, the antique stall he was in was the one on the side of the stone bridge, and Tino was the owner of this stall, a white Italian in his 50s and 60s.

At this booth, Ye Tian had already seen three or four antique artworks with a little age and value, but he had not taken any of them.

When he felt that he was almost ready, he stretched his hand to the real goal.

This is a romantic style oil painting, small in size, about one meter high and one meter two wide. The content depicted in the painting is a life and death battle scene.

Judging from the costumes, weapons, and military flags of the warring parties in the painting, it is basically certain that the content reflected in the painting is a battle during the Second War of Independence in Italy.

The two warring parties were one of the three Italian masters, the red shirt army led by Garibaldi, and the Austrian Empire army.

The whole painting has strong color contrast, enthusiasm and movement, and a passion from the inside out, which fits well with the content reflected in the picture.

If you study the romantic school, you can easily find that this oil painting has some Delacroix shadow, but it is not as good as the romantic lion and Delacroix.

To be precise, the artist who created this oil painting, either deliberately or inadvertently, is imitating Delacroix's style of painting and is probably a faithful believer of Delacroix.

Because of this, this oil painting falls into the bottom.

Even though the painter's painting skills are not bad, this oil painting does not have much artistic value and can only be regarded as a work above the standard.

Hearing Ye Tian's question, the stall owner Dino immediately turned to look at the oil painting, then nodded and said:

"Of course it's okay, Steven, please."

When he said this, a look of disappointment flashed deep in Tino's eyes.

For this romantic oil painting, he thinks he knows very well and has studied very thoroughly, knowing that this painting is of little value.

At the same time, he is also very clear that this guy Steven’s vision is extremely sharp, it is impossible to fail to see the value of this oil painting, he has no use at all, so he feels regret.

After getting permission, Ye Tian immediately reached out and picked up this romantic style oil painting, holding it up in front of his eyes and admiring it.

He has no intention of appreciating the surface content of this oil painting. What he really cares about is the huge secret hidden behind this oil painting.

After pretending to appreciate it for a moment, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Tino, please introduce this romantic painting. How did you get it? How did you look at this oil painting? I am very interested!"

"Okay, Steven"

Tino nodded in response, and then began to introduce the painting.

"In mid-July this summer, a middle-aged man sent this romantic style oil painting to my antique shop. I thought that this painting was OK, so I accepted it.

After accepting this painting, a few friends and I gathered together to study this oil painting. It is absolutely certain that it is a romantic painting from the late 19th century.

The artist who created this oil painting was a romantic painter in Italy at the time. In the lower right corner of this oil painting, there is the artist's signature and the handwriting is quite clear.

Like most painters, this man has not been known for being famous. He is submerged in the long river of history. There are few works handed down, and the value is relatively average, and it is not worth much."

As he said, Tino pointed his finger at the lower right corner of the oil painting. There was indeed the artist’s signature, very clear, with the Italian name of ‘Philip’ written on it.

Ye Tian looked at the artist's signature, then smiled and said:

"This painter is indeed unknown. At least I have never heard of his name. I don't even know that there is such an Italian painter of the Romantic school named Philip.

No way, this is the cruel reality. If you have excellent talent and a certain amount of luck, then you may become famous and become a master of art that everyone praises.

But more painters, sculptors, and artists in other fields, or lack of talent, or opportunities, may not have their days in their lives, and are gradually being completely overwhelmed.

In the middle and late nineteenth century, romantic art was mainly popular in France, Germany, Britain, and Spain. At that time, there were not many romantic painters in Italy.

Unexpectedly, here today, I came across a romantic style painting created by an Italian painter, and it reflects the Second War of Independence in Italy, which is very rare.

Even though this painter named Philip is relatively average, I am still a little interested in this oil painting. Let me quote a price, Tino, if the price is right, I don’t mind accepting this oil painting."

Upon hearing this, Dino's eyes flashed with joy.

I can finally dispose of this oil painting, and I can’t miss it!

Without hesitation, the buddy immediately said:

"Steven, the 19th-century Italian painter named Philip, although not comparable to the famous masters, his painting skills are still above the standard.

You are the top antique art appraisal expert, I believe you will not fail to see this, plus this oil painting has a history of more than 100 years, I offer 12,000 euros for it"

After speaking, Tino looked at Ye Tian expectantly, looking forward to hearing the most beautiful answer.

"12,000 euros! It's a free gift!"

Ye Tian cheered secretly, almost dancing with excitement.

Although his heart was surging, his expression was very calm, showing no flaws.

After pretending to think for a while and adjusting his excitement, Ye Tian smiled and shook his head slightly and said:

"The price of 12,000 euros is too high for me to accept it. Although this painting has a history of more than 100 years, it is not worth the price.

Stones from the 19th century are still stones today. For this romantic oil painting, I can only pay 8,000 euros at most. I wonder if you can accept it?

If you can accept it, we can make a deal now, paying with one hand and delivering it with one hand. If you can’t accept it, yes, then forget it. You can keep this oil painting."

After speaking, Ye Tian looked at each other in his spare time, his eyes full of confidence.

But in his heart, he was still a little nervous, but fortunately there was Bowie. Even if he couldn't get the oil painting by himself, Bowie could do it.

All in all, this romanticism-style oil painting must not be ignored today, even if it is forced to use some illegal means. UU看书www. uukanshu.com is also doing it.

The scene calmed down, and Tino looked serious and began to think, but the light of excitement from the corner of his eyes betrayed his truest thoughts.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian suddenly relaxed a lot.

He was very sure that this romanticism style oil painting did not run away. The huge secret hidden on the right side of this oil painting must belong to him!

"Okay, Steven, it was sold for 8,000 euros. This romantic oil painting created in the late nineteenth century is yours!"

Tino said excitedly, and stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian.

At this moment, how did Tino know what he had lost at this moment? If he knew, he would definitely raise the pistol, pull the trigger in his head, and shoot!

"Deal, Tino, I'm very happy to do business with you, it's really a wonderful afternoon"

With that said, Ye Tian took Tino's hand and concluded the art deal.
