Chapter 2675: Impressionist Painting Exhibition
Let everyone enjoy the Monet's "Pond. Water Lilies" for a while. Ye Tian re-wrapped the top art work in moisture-proof tarpaulin, and put it aside, leaning against the wall on the west side of the utility room.
At this time, David, who had an excuse to go out and call, had also returned to this utility room.
And everyone in this utility room is staring at the small secret room and the things placed in the secret room. Everyone's eyes are extremely hot.
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then pointed to the dim secret room and said:
"Derek, move out the rest of the items in the secret room. You must be careful. If you are not mistaken, the rest of the frames wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulins are also top art works of great value!"
"Okay, Steven, leave it to us"
Derek nodded in response, and then walked into the secret room again with another company employee.
Soon, they came out of the secret room with another picture frame, and then under Ye Tian's instructions, the picture frame, which was also wrapped in a thick layer of moisture-proof tarpaulin, stood on the wall.
Ye Tian did not rush to uncover the damp-proof tarpaulin and displayed the artwork under the damp-proof tarpaulin in front of everyone. Instead, he asked Derek and the others to continue to carry the other items from the secret room.
After a while, the many picture frames hidden in Balbo's Secret Chamber were moved out, all leaning against the other three walls of the utility room.
So far, only the wooden box in the center is left in the secret room.
Just as Derek and the others were about to carry the wooden box, Ye Tian suddenly said:
"Derek, come out first. Don't move the wooden box to avoid danger. The situation in the wooden box is still unclear. Maybe there is a trap. I will check it later and confirm that it is safe. Let's move the wooden box. box"
Hearing this, Derek and the others nodded immediately, and then retired from the secret room.
However, Ye Tian didn't immediately walk into the secret room to check the condition of the wooden box. Instead, he looked at the picture frames that had just been taken out of the secret room and were leaning on the wall of the utility room.
The rest of the people in the utility room are the same. They all turned to look at the frames, and everyone was curious.
"Steven, you said that these artworks wrapped under a moisture-proof tarpaulin are the works of that top artist? How much are they worth? It's really exciting!"
the Bishop of Kent asked curiously, looking forward to it.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said:
"The artwork that can be seen by the former Italian air marshal and hidden here with a lot of effort must be no small thing, and the ordinary artwork Balbo can also look down upon it!
I guess, under these damp-proof tarpaulins, there must be a piece of top-notch works of art that are priceless. As for the works of which art master they are, the answer will be revealed soon! "
As he said, Ye Tian had already walked to the frame next to Monet's "Pond. Water Lilies", and that frame was also the second to be moved out of Balbo's Secret Chamber.
In the Balbo Secret Chamber before, the picture frame was placed next to "Pond. Water Lilies". There may be some internal connection between the two.
Coming to the front, Ye Tian first took this relatively small piece of art and observed it all.
Then, he stretched out his hand to open the rope tied with the damp-proof tarpaulin, pulled out the rope, and then began to dismantle the dark gray damp-proof tarpaulin.
After a while, an oil painting appeared in front of everyone, and it was another impressionist painting.
The content depicted in this painting is a port under the setting sun.
The close-up scene is a sparkling sea, there are two or three late-returning boats, and the distant scene is a few sailing boats preparing to call in, and the port shrouded in twilight!
The moment they saw this painting, everyone couldn't help being stunned again. Everyone was dumbfounded, eyes full of incredible!
Ye Tian, holding this painting, pretended to carefully appreciate and appraise this impressionist painting, and then joked:
"Unexpectedly, the former Italian Air Force Marshal Balbo was actually a loyal supporter of Impressionist art, and even an avid fan of the artist Claude Monet. This is another painting by Monet.
If I read it correctly, the name of this impressionist painting should be called "Le Havre Port in the Sunset". This harbour in the painting is an important port in northern France, Le Havre.
The creation time of this painting should be around 1872. It is a work of the same period as Monet’s famous painting "Sunrise Impression". The name Impressionism comes from "Sunrise Impression""
Not surprisingly, there was another exclamation on the scene, and everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's words.
"How is it possible? It is another outstanding painting by the artist Monet. Where did Balbo get these top art works? Did he ransack which famous museum failed?"
"In an unknown secret room, I found two paintings by the great artist Monet. This is incredible. Steven, do you have any evidence that this is Monet's work?"
Hearing these exclamations, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckled, his expression of complacency on his face couldn't hide.
When the exclamation fell slightly, he smiled and said:
"Don’t forget, everyone, from the 1930s to 1940, Balbo was considered the number two figure in Italy. He was powerful only under Mussolini!
At that time, Balbo wanted to get his favorite artwork without any effort. If he wanted to, he could get any antique artwork he wanted.
Is this Monet's work? I will teach you an identification method. Any impressionist painting full of light spots but without a clear outline is Monet! "
"hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.
At the same time, everyone's eyes looking at Ye Tian and this "Port Le Havre in the Sunset" were full of envy and jealousy. Everyone's eyes were a little red!
Due to limited time, Ye Tian did not give everyone much time to appreciate this impressionist painting, nor did he explain in detail this early work of Monet's artistic career.
Besides, he didn't give a valuation for this top art piece.
However, everyone at the scene knows that this is definitely a top-notch work of invaluable value, and it is by no means much cheaper than the piece "Pond. Water Lilies" that I just saw.
You know, this is an outstanding painting by Monet, the standard bearer of impressionism. Its sister work is the famous "Sunrise Impression" that started the wave of impressionism!
After a general appreciation, Ye Tian took the moisture-proof tarpaulin that had just been taken apart, wrapped the Monet's painting again, and carefully put it together with the "Water Lily".
Next, he picked up the third picture frame, carefully pulled away the rope that tied the picture frame, and gradually uncovered the layers of moisture-proof tarpaulin that wrapped the frame!
What appears in front of everyone this time is still a work of an impressionist master, and it is still a priceless top art!
However, this impressionist oil painting is no longer Monet's work, but an outstanding painting by another impressionist master, Edgar Degas.
The content of 's paintings are several dancing ballerinas. This is Degas's favorite and best subject of painting!
No surprise, this Degas "The Ballerina" just appeared in front of everyone, and it immediately evoked a burst of exclamation. Everyone was completely shocked by the appearance of this top-level artwork!
After a while, Ye Tian gave a positive identification conclusion.
"Gentlemen, when we see such a culmination of impressionism paintings, and the paintings are ballerinas, then there is no doubt that this must be the work of the impressionist master Edgar Degas!"
With the identification conclusion he gave, the miscellaneous room immediately boiled.
Although this result had been expected long ago, when everyone heard the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, they were still shocked and almost crazy with envy.
As for Giovanni and Pizarro, the eyes of these two guys are blood red, they are full of craziness, and they look a little scary.
Fortunately, before these two guys entered this Roman-style building, they handed over the guns to their own subordinates and accepted Matisse's security check. There was no threat!
Otherwise, Ye Tian is really worried that these two guys will get into trouble, so he will rob these top artworks directly!
After giving the appraisal conclusion, Ye Tian gave a brief explanation of Degas's "Ballet Girl~www.wuxiaspot.com~~ and then re-wrapped it with a moisture-proof tarp and put it aside!
Same as before, he still did not give an estimate for this masterpiece of Impressionism this time, lest he would over-stimulate the guys on the scene and make them even more crazy!
You must know that there are relatively few paintings handed down to the world by Degas, and most of them are collected in major museums around the world, and there are not many paintings left out!
In view of this, every Degas work that appears in the antique art market will cause a huge sensation and attract countless top collectors.
Among all Degas's paintings, the works with ballerinas as the subject are the most important works, and they are the most concerned works. The price can be imagined!
Wrapped up this Degas work, Ye Tian picked up the fourth frame again, and then everyone watched with extremely scorching gaze, and uncovered the moisture-proof oil-proof paper that was wrapped around it little by little!
When the oil painting hidden under the moisture-proof oil paper appeared, even he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly:
"It is another impressionist masterpiece, but this time it is Renoir. I have to say that Balbo is really an extremely ardent fan of impressionism. It seems that the famous impressionism will be exhibited here today!"
