Chapter 3158: Unknown Cubist Paintings
"Steven, the MI5 informant followed, and the MI5 guys were on the next street, advancing with us."
During the march, Matisse's voice came from the wireless invisible headset.
Upon hearing the report, Ye Tian immediately lowered his voice and said:
"It doesn't matter, they are willing to follow, then let them follow. Until we find Atlantis, these guys from MI5 won't make any big moves!"
While talking, Ye Tian and the others have come to the door of a small antique shop.
In and around the entrance of this antique shop, the media reporters and people watching the excitement were already surrounded by the wind.
At the entrance of the hotel and when he had lunch just now, Ye Tian had said that he would go to the antique shops nearby.
There are only a few antique shops nearby. As soon as the news spread, many media reporters and people watching the excitement came here one after another, trying to watch the excitement.
Also waiting at the entrance of the antique shop was the owner of this antique shop, an Arab man in his fifties.
Compared with the others around, the antique shop owner was very worried and worried.
He even wanted to close the store door and close the business early to avoid being ransacked.
But if you do that, this antique shop is bound to lose its reputation, and never want to get involved in this industry.
Because of this, the owner of the antique shop bit the bullet and continued to operate, and did not escape.
With the arrival of Ye Tian and others, people raised their phones and cameras to take photos, and then quickly posted the photos on social media.
The many media reporters guarding here will naturally not let go of this opportunity and ask questions loudly.
"Hello, Mr. Steven, I'm a reporter from the Spanish newspaper Nacional. Will you announce the specific exploration location tomorrow?"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, there are several luxury yachts parked in Casabraca. Is it yours? Are you going to explore the treasures next time?"
For these media reporters, Ye Tian didn't care at all and turned a deaf ear.
He took a look at the appearance of this small antique shop, and was ready to go in.
At this moment, the antique shop owner standing on the side of the door just stepped forward.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, welcome to my little antique shop, I’m Barzani, nice to meet you"
"Mr. Balzani, good afternoon, this is Steven. I am also glad to meet you. Your antique shop looks very good. Can you go in and have a look?"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, and shook hands with the antique shop owner.
"Of course it's okay, Mr. Steven, it's my honour. I just hope you can be merciful."
Barzani smiled forcefully.
After that, he reached out and pushed open the door of the antique shop, and asked Ye Tian and the others to enter his antique shop.
Just as Ye Tian and the others walked into the antique shop, on the corner of the street not far away, Bowie, who had just come out of a shop, was looking at this side with a knowing smile.
As early as two days ago, Bowie and several assistants rushed to Rabat, traveling while waiting for Ye Tian's arrival.
Today, Ye Tian led the exploratory team to Rabat, which means that their vacation is over and they are about to start work!
As soon as he entered the antique shop, Ye Tian was attracted by a stone pillar placed on the right side of the door.
This stone pillar was in a dilapidated state, and only a half-section of less than 1.5 meters was left standing on the ground, with fangs intertwined at the fracture, and no one knew how long the broken upper part was.
The diameter of the stone pillar is about 20 centimeters, and it is carved with some war patterns and some ancient Arabic scripts.
As for the meaning of those ancient Arabic words, it is temporarily unknown!
The moment he saw this broken stone pillar, Ye Tian's eyes lit up immediately, and he walked over to the stone pillar.
Of course, he was just acting, to make everything seem reasonable.
In fact, as early as the first time he came to the entrance of this antique shop, he had a thorough perspective of this small antique shop and grasped the situation here in an instant.
For example, what are there in the antique shop, whether it is safe, etc.
Not only that, but several buildings around the antique shop, the vehicles parked on the side of the road, and the guys watching the bustling scene, were all seen through by him.
After confirming his safety, he was relieved to enter this small antique shop.
When he came to the broken stone pillar, Ye Tian first checked the pattern carved on the stone pillar.
On the stone pillars are some **** war scenes.
The warring parties are very different!
One of them is riding a war horse and holding a scimitar, while the other is using a musket, and most of them are infantry.
The flags and military uniforms of the two sides are also different.
Ye Tian looked at these stone carvings, and then said in surprise:
"If I'm not mistaken, what these stone carvings depict should be the war between the Moors and the Spaniards. Judging from the weapons used by both sides, it should be in the late fifteenth century.
At that time, the Moors on the Iberian Peninsula should have retreated to the area around Granada, which was the last stronghold of the Moors on the Iberian Peninsula.
At that time, Spain was about to complete its unification. The stone carvings depicted the historical facts, and according to my judgment, this stone pillar was a cultural relic from the early sixteenth century.
Such an antique cultural relic, which is engraved with many words and patterns and records an important historical fact, should be very precious. Why is it left here and no one cares about it? I am a little surprised? "
Hearing this, a look of admiration flashed in the eyes of everyone on the scene.
As expected, Steven is the same as the legend, omnipotent and omnipotent. There seems to be no antique cultural relics and works of art that he does not know in this world!
He just took a few glances, he could see so many things, his vision was really sharp!
Looking at Barzani again, the worry in his eyes became stronger.
But as the owner of the shop, he also introduced.
"Steven, what you see is correct. This is indeed a broken stone pillar from the beginning of the 16th century. The content recorded on it is exactly the war between the Moors and the Spaniards.
However, the Moors on these stone carvings are Morsco, and the war depicted in these stone carvings is exactly Morisco, so no one cares about this broken stone monument! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian was suddenly stunned.
"It turned out to be a Morisco, and the stone pillar that describes the battle of Morisco, no wonder no one cares about it!"
Having said that, he stopped talking and didn't continue.
The reason is simple, the battle between Morsco and Morisco is a taboo topic in Morocco.
Because he once succumbed to the Spaniards and chose to convert to Christianity, he ultimately failed in the Battle of Morisco and was driven by the Spaniards to North Africa.
Morskos are extremely discriminated against in Morocco, are looked down upon by everyone, and are at the bottom of the chain of contempt in Moroccan society.
By the way, all things related to the Morsko will be rejected by the Moroccans and sneered at it, including all kinds of antique relics and works of art related to the Morsko.
Of course, all the words and patterns carved on this stone pillar must have been thoroughly studied by the Moroccans, and there is no secret at all.
After Barzani, Professor Paul also translated the ancient Arabic inscribed on the stone pillar.
As Barzani said, the words engraved on the stone pillar reflect the battle of Morisco, and it is an insignificant war, with little research value.
Between the words and patterns on the stone pillars, there are no hidden secrets, everything is clear at a glance.
After a cursory inspection of this broken stone pillar, everyone walked into the depths of the antique shop.
Although the area of this antique shop is not large, the sparrow is small and well-equipped.
There are various types of business in the shop, including Arab antique cultural relics and artworks, Western antique cultural relics and artworks, and antique cultural relics and artworks with rich colors of African culture and so on.
As for the authenticity of these so-called antique cultural relics and works of art, it is a matter of opinion, depending on your eyesight!
Rabat is a holiday resort, there are naturally many tourist souvenirs, as well as modern crafts.
Next, Ye Tian looked at the things displayed in this antique shop as if watching the flowers, while Barzani followed the introduction and explained it, fearing.
During the period, Ye Tian also asked about the conditions of several so-called antique cultural relics and artworks, and their prices.
This made Barzani nervous, but he did not dare to make an offer.
He knows exactly who he is facing, quoting all over the sky will only ask for trouble, and will never get any benefits.
It might even irritate this cruel fellow in front of you, and then ransack all the good things here, and you will lose out!
Fortunately, Ye Tian only asked about the price, and did not buy any antique cultural relics or works of art.
Ten minutes later, the group of them left the small antique shop and came to the street again.
Seeing that they had nothing in their hands and nothing, the guys outside watching the excitement were somewhat disappointed.
Barzani, who had sent Ye Tian and the others out, let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.
At the same time, he was somewhat depressed.
Don’t you even have a good thing in your antique shop? He couldn't move the guy Steven at all, and made that guy owe him even the desire to shoot.
After coming to the street again, Ye Tian quickly scanned the surrounding situation, and then said to Ye Haiya and others:
"There are several antique shops nearby. Let's go over and take a look. Maybe we will find something."
Ye Haiya, what else could they say, they could only nod their heads.
"Okay, Steven"
Afterwards, the group of them continued to move forward, talking and laughing while walking, very relaxed.
If it were not for the numerous armed security personnel and police, as well as the crowds of people and media reporters around, they would be just like ordinary people who travel to Morocco.
During the journey, almost everyone on the street looked at Ye Tian and the others, with curiosity and envy.
Of course, there are also some young people who are protesting loudly, one by one, impassioned and filled with outrage.
However, these guys are more acting than real protests.
They were performing for the media reporters, and wanted to take this opportunity to gain some attention and make a splash on social media, that's all.
The media reporters who followed were still asking questions in a loud voice. The questions were all around Atlantis.
Ye Tian and the others did not give any response, and Ye Haiya and others did the same, as if they were deaf!
Not too far forward, Ye Tian saw Bowie, who was sitting in a street cafe drinking coffee with an assistant!
The first time he saw that guy, a smile flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.
Fortunately, he was wearing sunglasses, and no one noticed this slight emotional change.
A few minutes later, they had entered another antique shop.
Compared with the antique shop in Barzani, this antique shop is slightly larger and has more things in it.
As before, before entering this antique shop, Ye Tian looked through the inside and outside of the antique shop for the first time.
After confirming the safety, this led everyone into it.
The owner of this antique shop introduced himself as usual and got to know everyone.
When shook hands with Ye Tian, the antique shop owner, like Barzani, was anxious and worried, lest he would be robbed by Ye Tian.
However, he does not seem to be as lucky as Barzani.
Only about five minutes after entering this antique shop, Ye Tian stopped in front of an oil painting and admired it with great interest.
This is a Cubist painting. It is not very large, about fifty centimeters wide and seventy centimeters high.
The painting is a wilderness. A Berber old man is leading a donkey, trekking alone in the wilderness, looking very lonely, his back is bleak!
In this oil painting, the old Berber man and the donkey, as well as the house and trees in the distance, have been simplified into geometric figures by the painter, and only the outline can be seen.
Moreover, the painter uses a unique technique to compress the spatial depth of the picture, making the house in the painting look like a skewed paper box, which is between the flat and three-dimensional effects~www.wuxiaspot.com~painting The sequence of the characters and sceneries in the book is not superimposed one after the other, but extends from top to bottom.
In this way, some objects reach the top of the screen all the time.
All the scenes in the painting, whether it is the most far-reaching or the foreground, are displayed on the picture with the same clarity.
Looking at this cubist oil painting, Ye Tian couldn't help but flash in his eyes, but it was fleeting and no one noticed it.
While he was admiring this cubist oil painting, everyone else looked at it, and everyone was curious, trying to find something.
The owner of this antique shop is also seriously considering this cubist oil painting.
It's a pity that he didn't have any new discoveries, and what he saw was the same as before.
Standing in front of this cubist oil painting for a while, Ye Tiancai asked curiously:
"Mr. Faiz, can you introduce this cubist oil painting? As far as I know, there seems to be no outstanding cubist oil painting artist in Morocco!
But this cubist oil painting shows Moroccan landscapes. The characters in the painting are Berbers. This makes me a little surprised. I really want to know."
Upon hearing this, the antique shop owner named Faiz took a closer look at this cubist oil painting again.
The result is the same as before, he still has nothing new to discover.
After pondering for a moment, he began to introduce this cubist oil painting.
"Mr. Steven, I collected this cubist oil painting in the city of Rabat. There is no artist's signature on it, so I don't know which painter's work is!
You are right. There is indeed no famous Cubist painter in Morocco, so I can only choose this Cubist oil painting as the work of an unknown painter..."
