Chapter 1888: ecstatic

The transaction was quickly completed, and the money and goods were lost.

After receiving the confirmation text message from the bank, Desmond immediately curiously said:

"Steven, can you explain this landscape oil painting? Why did you buy this oil painting without hesitation? Is this oil painting a top-quality work of art?

Compared to me, you must see more things. Is this the work of that famous artist? What is the specific value? I really want to know the answers to these questions, lest I get confused."

Ye Tian didn't answer immediately, but gently removed the landscape oil painting from the display wall and took it in his hand to admire it again.

After a while, he turned his head to look at Desmond who was standing next to him, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Desmond, for this classicist landscape oil painting, I have my own appraisal conclusion, which is not the same as yours, but whether my appraisal conclusion is correct or not requires further verification.

In view of this, I will not explain the specific details of this classicist landscape oil painting in detail. Here, I will just talk about the appraisal conclusion. You can listen to it, don't take it too seriously! "

"Okay, Steven, I'll listen with great respect"

Desmond nodded in response, but his face had become pale as paper.

At this time, he was very sure that he had taken the treasure and was ransacked by this terrifying guy in front of him, and he could not escape the bad luck after all.

What appraisal conclusion is correct? It needs further verification. Is it possible? When did you greedy fellow look past? Never, and this time will be no exception!

Ye Tian looked at the landscape oil painting in his hand again, and then said his identification conclusion.

"Desmond, your identification of the creation date of this landscape oil painting is very accurate. In my opinion, this oil painting was created in the early nineteenth century. To be precise, it should be around 1820.

But as to who the creator of this landscape oil painting is, you have made a mistake. The artist who created this oil painting is not an unknown person, but William Turner, who is known as the ‘great genius’.

William Turner is one of the most famous landscape painters in the nineteenth century. He is also one of the most famous and skilled artists in Britain. He is among the most outstanding landscape painters in the history of Western art.

You just said that the style of this painting is like that of the famous French landscape painter Lorrain in the seventeenth century and William Turner, the famous British landscape painter of the nineteenth century, somewhere in between.

This specious style of painting often affects the value of a piece of art, but this does not exist in this painting. The reason is simple. William Turner is an ardent admirer of Lorraine.

In the early days of William Turner's artistic career, he had imitated Lorraine's style of painting. This is one of the works. Others include "The Thames at Huiqiao", "The Thames at Windsor" and so on.

As for the Venetian scenery that appears on this oil painting, it is not surprising. In 1819, William Turner traveled to Italy for the first time, where he studied painting art and communicated with local artists.

Venice is a famous art town, especially in painting art. Since the Renaissance, it has always played a pivotal role. How could William Turner not go to Venice?

However, for some reason, he did not create too many Venetian landscape paintings. This seems to be the only one so far. Perhaps it is for this reason that makes you illusion.

Returning to the style of painting, if you carefully study another famous painting by William Turner in the same period, "Viewing Rome from the Vatican", you will find that there are many similarities between the two,..."

Ye Tian continued to explain, but Desmond was completely dumbfounded and muttered to himself in despair.

"God! This turned out to be an early work by William Turner. What did I miss? God, why are you making such a joke with me?"

At this time, Desmond was distressed and almost died, regretting that he wanted to jump in the Thames.

For the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, ​​he did not have the slightest doubt, knowing that it was the truth.

There is no doubt that this classicist landscape oil painting is 100% the work of William Turner, and it is a work during the period when William Turner's painting style undergoes a major change. It is of great significance.

With the lofty reputation of William Turner in the history of Western art and in the UK, this early work of him is definitely a top-level artwork worth at least millions of euros, and even higher!

When he thought of this, Desmond was in grief, and he almost cried out of pain, and his eyes were blood red!

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian stopped talking and did not continue to explain.

He was really worried. The British guy in front of him couldn't bear the heavy blow, and his grief caused him to have a heart attack. He fell to the ground. That would be no fun!

The gallery was completely silent, and everyone was left with Desmond's rapid breathing, breathing like a broken wind box that leaked everywhere.

David and the others leaned close to Ye Tian, ​​enjoying the landscape oil painting one by one, with envy in everyone's eyes.

As for the gallery, the numerous media reporters who were stopped by the London police, the antique dealers and gallery owners doing business in the Port Belle market, and other people all looked at the gallery door curiously.

Every one of them was guessing and whispering with friends around him, what exactly did the guy Steven find in this gallery, and he hasn't come out for so long.

According to this situation, the extremely lucky **** must have discovered something again. As for the specific discovery, everyone is not sure and can only guess randomly.

Inside the gallery, it is still very quiet.

It took a long time for Desmond to wake up, with a hint of blood on his pale face.

Just when he turned his head and looked at Ye Tianzhi with prayerful eyes, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Actually, you don't have to be too depressed, and you don't have to feel sad, Desmond, in addition to this William Turner landscape oil painting, you also have two valuable paintings in this gallery."

"There are two more valuable paintings here? I heard you right? Steven, which two paintings are they? Can you give me some pointers? Which artist's works are they and how much are they worth?"

Desmond asked excitedly, the whole person came to life in an instant, his eyes radiating dazzling light like searchlights.

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and pointed his finger at another painting not far away.

"You heard it right, Desmond, you really have two valuable paintings here, and the small portrait next to it is one of them.

If I read it right, the portrait should be the work of the famous 19th-century British painter George Hicks. It is unknown who the girl in the painting is.

But it is not difficult to find out. People who can afford George Hicks to paint portraits must not be unknown people. You just need to work hard and I believe you will find the answer soon.

This should be a work created by George Hicks in his middle age. According to the current market conditions, its value should be between 1.5 million and 2 million Euros."

"Wow! The portrait of George Hicks is incredible!"

Desmond murmured to himself, the whole person was completely overwhelmed by huge ecstasy, his feet were like stepping on the clouds, light and soft, almost unable to stand.

Ye Tian turned his head to look at this guy, and then pointed his finger at a landscape painting hanging on the other display wall.

"Compared to the portrait of George Hicks, that realistic landscape painting is obviously more valuable. I can basically be sure that it was the work of John Constable, the most famous British landscape painter in the early nineteenth century.

In the history of Western art and in the British painting scene, Constable and Turner are of equal status. He is an academician of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and is also known as the greatest British landscape painter in the nineteenth century.

That landscape painting depicts the English countryside. It has a fresh and lively style, sincere feelings, bright colors, full of natural vitality and rustic flavor. According to my estimation, it should be created around 1802.

To be honest~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When I found that there were two landscape paintings by John Constable and William Turner in this gallery, I even couldn’t believe it. I wanted to combine these two top All artworks are in the bag!

I don’t want to let go of that portrait of George Hicks, but when I first entered the gallery, I promised you. I didn’t want to lose my promise, so I only chose Turner’s paintings. I personally prefer that oil painting.”

Desmond was completely stupid, his eyes were wide and round, his eyes were about to fly out, and his body was trembling slightly. He was so excited that he was crazy, and even lost his ability to speak.

"Okay, Desmond, the transaction has been completed, we should also leave. Nice to meet you. Say hello to your wife Molly Jones and enjoy this beautiful day!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and patted Desmond on the shoulder.

Following his movements, Desmond woke up immediately.

The next moment, there was an ecstatic cheer from the gallery, which shocked Ye Tian and the others, and also shocked everyone outside the gallery.
