At the bottom left of the first hidden grid, Tony and the others found another hidden grid.
In comparison, this dark grid is a bit larger and longer. It was also taken out on the wall, and inside it was also a cylindrical body wrapped in a moisture-proof tarpaulin.
The first time they saw this object, everyone was basically sure that it should be an oil painting, but it was a bit larger in size. I didn't know that it was the work of that artist and its value.
Hearing Tony's voice, Ye Tian and David immediately turned around and looked at this newly discovered hidden grid, and everyone was full of surprises.
Next, Ye Tian climbed up the ladder again, checked the situation of the newly discovered hidden grid, and then carefully took out the things placed in the hidden grid.
After getting off the ladder, he first told Tony and the others a few words and asked them to continue tearing down the wall. During the period, they must be careful. If you find something, you should notify yourself as soon as possible.
Immediately afterwards, he took the two items he had just discovered, took David and the others out of this room, and walked to the next room, preparing to open the two items there.
After entering the next room, Ye Tian did not immediately open the two items wrapped in the damp-proof tarpaulin. Instead, he let someone pull the curtains up to avoid direct sunlight on the two items in the afternoon.
If these two objects are really oil paintings, because they have been placed in a dark and oxygen-free area for a long time, once they are exposed to the sun, the paint on the oil paintings will inevitably react and even quickly fade.
And this kind of loss is irreversible. In order to avoid it as much as possible, protective measures must be taken.
As the curtains were drawn and the lights were not turned on, the light in this room suddenly dimmed a lot. Fortunately, it will be daytime, and the lighting conditions are reasonable, which does not affect the appreciation and appraisal of the oil paintings.
After making corresponding preparations, Ye Tian came to the center of the room and put the two objects in his hands on the table, ready to open them one by one.
At this time, David and the Bishop of Kent, as well as Italians such as Giovanni, as well as representatives of various parties, have gathered around the table, staring at the two objects on the table, everyone is curious, and full of expectation.
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, next I will open these two items that have been hidden in the wall hidden for more than two hundred years. Before that, there are some things that I need to remind everyone.
No matter what these two items are, which top art master’s work is, and how precious they are, please control your emotions and don’t get too excited.
These two items have been hidden for more than two hundred years and have never seen light during this period. From the perspective of protection, they cannot be displayed for too long. I hope everyone can understand.
What's more important is that no matter how excited you are, you can't get started with the appraisal without permission, so as to avoid accidents and irreparable losses.
After today, when these two items gradually adapt to the external environment, and after we have done some technical processing, everyone has time to appreciate and study them slowly."
"Understand, Steven, these are all necessary protective measures, and we have no objection."
The director of the Brera Art Museum said, and everyone else nodded.
Ye Tian also nodded, and then started to do it.
He grabbed the item found in the first concealed area, first carefully checked the appearance, then gently pulled the gray ribbon tied outside, and removed the upper and lower ribbons one by one.
Next, he began to disassemble the black damp-proof tarpaulin with extremely gentle movements.
In just a few moments, he uncovered the damp-proof tarpaulin wrapped around this item one by one.
When the last layer of moisture-proof tarpaulin was uncovered, the contents wrapped in it finally appeared in front of everyone.
This object, which had been hidden for more than two hundred years, reappeared in the eyes of the world.
As you might expect, this is a rolled up oil painting, small in size, lying quietly on the table.
Because it took too long to be rolled up, although the external constraints are no longer there, this oil painting does not open automatically, and it still maintains the appearance of being rolled up.
"Wow! It's really an oil painting, but I don't know which master artist's work it is."
"Judging from the traces on the back of the canvas, this oil painting seems to be very old. It should be earlier than the eighteenth century. Maybe it was a Renaissance work."
There was a sound of discussion at the scene, everyone was excited and expressed their opinions.
Ye Tian checked the painting carefully, changed a new pair of gloves, and then reached out and lightly picked up the painting.
"Gentlemen, it took too long for this oil painting to be rolled up. Once it is opened, some paint fragments will inevitably fall down. This is inevitable. I hope that the damage caused by this will not be too great."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded and had no objection.
At the same time, Ye Tian had slowly opened the oil painting, slowly spreading it out on the table.
During this process, a little bit of paint fragments did fall off the screen and landed on the desktop. Fortunately, there were not a lot of paint fragments, so I was lucky!
The collector who had hidden this oil painting in the wall before, in order to protect the oil painting, when he rolled up the oil painting, he covered it with a layer of white linen.
It is precisely because of this that although Ye Tian developed this oil painting, everyone did not see the content of the painting.
Faced with this situation, everyone can't help feeling a little surprised, and they are more curious and looking forward to the content of this oil painting.
Next, Ye Tian picked up the tools he had prepared, pressed the two ends of the painting, and then carefully peeled off the white linen!
Following his actions, UU reads www. uukanshu.com, an oil painting that has disappeared for more than two hundred years, finally appeared in front of everyone.
The next moment, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone was attracted by the oil painting on the table, each of them staring at the oil painting with rounded eyes.
This is an oil painting with religious themes. The painting is a story derived from the Bible, "Escape to Egypt". The characters in the painting are vivid and the contrast between light and dark is strong. It has high artistic attainments.
Due to the age too old and long hidden in the wall, isolated from the outside world, the surface of this oil painting has a lot of cracks, and the paint in some places has faded or even peeled off.
Fortunately, these damages are not serious, do not affect the overall picture, and have little impact on the value of this oil painting!
Like everyone else on the scene, Ye Tian was stunned the first time he saw this oil painting!
Of course, he is performing, just to make everything look more reasonable.
After a while, the silence at the scene was broken by waves of excitement and emotion.
"God! This is "Escape to Egypt". Judging from the artistic style of this oil painting, it should be the early Baroque style, and the painter's painting skills are very brilliant!"
"Gentlemen, do you think this oil portrait looks like the work of Caravaggio, the founder of Baroque art and the top artist? But as far as I know, Caravaggio does not have such a work!"
When everyone was amazed, Ye Tian suddenly smiled and said loudly:
"Yes, this is the work of Caravaggio, the founder of Baroque art. The reason why his "Escape to Egypt" is not known is very simple. This oil painting has disappeared for more than two hundred years and has long been forgotten. !"
Before the voice was over, the scene immediately boiled!
