"Treasure Hunt ( to find the latest chapters!

After enjoying Tintoretto’s "Battle of Lepanto", Ye Tian pretended to look carefully at this secret grid dug up by Philip, and also carefully checked this cramped room to see what else was hidden here. .

It's a pity that there is nothing else in this humble grid except for the rusty metal frame, and he has found nothing else in this room.

Afterwards, he took David and the others out of the room and walked to the lobby on the first floor.

Of course, when the group of them left this room, they took away the two top-of-the-range works of art that they had just discovered, as well as the diary full of resentment and curse.

As for Zach and the others, they gathered up their excitement and continued to explore with the pulse metal detector. There are still many rooms on the second floor that have not been explored.

While talking, Ye Tian and his party had already arrived on the first floor.

Those guys who had been staying in the reception area on the first floor before, who were already looking through their eyes, saw them come down, and immediately all got up and looked at the two oil paintings held by Ye Tian and David together.

Without exception, the sights of these guys are extremely hot, everyone is excited, everyone's eyes are full of curiosity and expectation, and they are also full of envy, jealousy and hatred!

Although they could not go upstairs and witness the process of exploring and discovering these two top artworks in the room on the second floor, through the intercom, they already knew what they found and what the discovery meant!

As a result, they are even more tortured, and they are almost uneasy.

At this time, they finally saw these two priceless top art works. Can they not be excited?

"Steven, this oil painting in your hand should be the masterpiece of Renaissance art master Giorgione, one of the founders of the Venetian school, "Venus in Bath", right?"

"Wow! Tintoretto's Battle of Lepanto, who would have imagined that today, nearly five hundred years later, we can still see this legendary top-level artwork that has already been burnt down. It's incredible. Up!"

There was a cry of exclamation at the scene, and every voice was excited.

In this exclamation, Ye Tian, ​​David and the others have walked into the reception area on the first floor and put the two top oil paintings in their hands on the easel that they had prepared.

However, the outside of these two top oil paintings is still covered with a layer of moisture-proof tarpaulin, which makes it difficult to see.

After putting the oil painting on, Ye Tian turned around and glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said loudly:

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the two oil paintings that David and I took down are the "Venus in the Bath" by the artist Giorgione and the "Leban" by the artist Tintoretto. Tuohai Battle.

The smaller one is Giorgione’s "Venus in the Bath", and the larger one is Tintoretto’s "Battle of Lepanto". They once belonged to the Republic of Venice. belong to me.

There is no doubt that the discovery of these two top art works will definitely cause a huge sensation in the field of western antique art collections. Then, everyone will be able to see these two oil paintings.

Before uncovering the moisture-proof tarpaulin on the outside of these two oil paintings and letting everyone enjoy them, I must explain some things. These two oil paintings have been hidden in the dark for nearly 500 years and have never seen light.

In that case, the two oil paintings are in a very good state of preservation. It can be said that they are intact. When they reappear after nearly 500 years, they will definitely be affected by environmental changes!

The first thing that bears the brunt is oxidation, and then the effect of light changes on the oil paint, canvas and frame. In fact, such an effect has already occurred, just the moment we opened that dark grid.

In order to protect these two top artworks as much as possible, I can only limit the time for everyone to enjoy them. These two top artworks can only be displayed here for ten minutes. I hope everyone can understand and cooperate.

Then I will put them away and put them in a portable painting bag to avoid prolonged exposure to strong light. Only after we have done some technical processing and waited for them to adapt to the external light, will they be publicly displayed!

There is one more point. In the later display process, you can appreciate it carefully, but you must not touch it, so as not to cause irreparable huge losses. I don’t think everyone wants to see such a result.

Before he could say anything, the curator of the National Museum of Rome nodded and said:

"You're right, Steven, these two top artworks that have just been discovered are really not suitable for prolonged exposure to strong light and air. They need to be protected well, and we will cooperate."

Hearing this, everyone else on the scene also nodded without objection.

Next, Ye Tian asked his company employees to close the curtains of several windows in the lobby to reduce the light intensity as much as possible to avoid accidental damage to the two top oil paintings.

Later, he greeted two company employees and two security personnel to come over, divide them into two groups, stand next to the two easels, and supervise the subsequent appreciation activities.

After making all the preparations, Ye Tian nodded to David, and the two immediately uncovered the moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped around the two top oil paintings!

Not surprisingly, as soon as these two top oil paintings appeared in front of everyone, they immediately evoked an exclamation of exclamation.

Immediately afterwards, those long-awaited guys walked quickly to the two easels and began to appreciate these two top art works, one after the other!

In a blink of an eye, they gathered in front of these two oil paintings, and then they were completely attracted by the two oil paintings, and an intoxicating expression appeared on everyone's face.

While everyone was swarming up, Ye Tian and David retreated from the crowd, stood outside the crowd, chatting in low voices.

After talking, Paul and Giovanni, as well as the Deputy Minister of Culture of Italy came over.

As he approached, Paul immediately whispered expectantly:

"The two top art works by Steven, Giorgione and Tintoretto were once collected in the Venetian Palace and are important collections of the Venetian Palace!

If possible, I hope that these two top artworks can be returned to the Palazzo Venezia. As for the trading conditions, we can sit down and discuss slowly."

As soon as his voice fell, Giovanni continued:

"Steven, everyone is well aware of the importance and value of these two top artworks. As an Italian cultural relics gendarmerie, I can tell you with certainty that they will all be included in the list of restricted-departure artworks!

In other words, although these two top oil paintings belong to you and are your private property, you cannot take them out of Italy. In this case, I suggest you transfer them to the Venetian Palace Museum! "

Ye Tian looked at these unpredictable Italians, then smiled easily and said:

"Paul and Giovanni, these two priceless top art works belong to me. No one can deny this. This is indisputable. Whether in the United States or Italy, these are ironclad facts.

Let's talk about the history of these two oil paintings. They were indeed collected in the Venetian Palace, but the Venetian Palace was the embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome, and the Republic of Venice has long since disappeared!

The Venice Palace Museum is just a latecomer. It happens that in the historic building of the Venice Palace, there is no inevitable connection with the two top oil paintings. It would be too far-fetched to have to be linked together! "

Hearing this, Paul's face suddenly changed, his expression somewhat awkward.

But he knew that what Ye Tian said were all facts, and there was no way to refute it!

Ye Tian didn't give them a chance to refute at all~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He continued:

"You want to buy these two oil paintings, I understand very well, as long as you like Western painting art, no one is not interested in them, no one does not want to take them as their own, this is human nature.

But I can tell you very clearly that I am not going to sell this "Venus in the Bath" by Giorgione. I am preparing to collect it myself and display this top art work in my private museum.

As for the "Battle of Lepanto" by Tintoretto, I intend to sell it. I believe you have heard of or understood that I will not collect all Western sculptures and paintings involving religious themes.

Before Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", Raphael's "The Madonna" and other religious works, I did not collect them myself, but gave them or traded them out, and this oil painting is no exception.

The Battle of Lepanto has very important and special significance to the Western world and Christianity. This is the earliest and most famous oil painting depicting the Battle of Lepanto, and the light of God is also shown in the painting.

Because of this, I intend to trade this outstanding Tintoretto painting. As for the trade object, it can be the Vatican, the Venetian Palace Museum, or any other person or museum!

But any person or museum who wants to get this "Battle of Lepanto" must meet my trading conditions. I hope to exchange this oil painting for some top antique cultural relics and artworks from China! "

Before the words were over, the eyes of Paul and Giovanni all lit up, and then a look of embarrassment flashed.

Using Tintoretto’s "Battle of Lepanto" in exchange for some of China’s top antique cultural relics and artworks, where do we go?
