Chapter 520: 2 fakes
The room number of the suite on the second floor is 206, the area is a bit larger, about 80 square meters, one more study room than other rooms, this should be exclusive treatment for the priest.
Without a doubt, this is Thompson's room.
In the bookcase are photos of his graduation from the University of Notre Dame, as well as photos of his bachelor's uniform and master's uniform, and on the desk are photos of his priest's uniform. These photos have explained everything!
For these, Ye Tian didn't see it.
His eyes were instantly attracted by the two oil paintings in the suite, and he didn't want to move away for a moment. His eyes were full of surprises and a bit of fascination!
The first oil painting is in the living room, hung on the wall on the south side, and you can see it as soon as you enter the door. It is so large that it occupies almost the entire wall! Very shocking effect!
The oil painting is in the style of classical realism, and the content shown by Ye Tian couldn't be more familiar. It is the Old North Church and its surrounding scenery where he is now!
The Old North Church and surrounding buildings in this painting are not the old scenery of the 18th or 19th century, but the current and modern Old North Church!
The characteristics and costumes of many characters on the screen, as well as the surrounding streets, cars and buildings, all clearly illustrate this point!
And judging from the content of the painting, the time to create this oil painting is not too long, definitely not more than fifteen years.
Obviously, this is an oil painting created by Thompson himself. The author's signature in the lower right corner is enough to show that it is Thompson's full name signed there.
Another oil painting is hung on the north wall of the bedroom, facing the bed.
The size of this oil painting is not big, about 70*90, it is an oil painting on canvas.
Different from the classic oil painting in the living room, this oil painting in the bedroom is an impressionist style work, and it is a copy, not an original work by Thompson.
Ye Tian is also very familiar with the content shown in the painting. Everyone who has a little knowledge of Western art and impressionism must be familiar with this oil painting.
Because Thompson copied a famous oil painting, Monet's, one of the most outstanding representative works of Impressionism, almost no one knows, no one knows!
Why is it said that this is a copy? What's the basis?
The reason is simple, the size of the painting is wrong!
The real Monet is much smaller than this painting! This one can be said to be an enlarged version.
In addition, there is another reason. The authentic product has been kept in the Mamunda Museum in Paris. It is the treasure of that museum. I have never heard of theft!
Because it is a copy, there is no Thompson's signature on this painting, and the lower right corner is empty!
Both of these oil paintings were made by Thompson. Although Thompson's painting skills are not bad and his copying skills are also great, they are not enough to make Ye Tian feel ecstatic!
To put it bluntly, Thompson's painting level is far from being a master of art! Just like the difference between a skilled craftsman and a master of arts and crafts, it is the essential difference!
Then why did Ye Tian feel ecstatic and fascinated by these two oil paintings?
Because the surface of these two oil paintings is all false disguise!
Like the Francis Bacon painting that caused a series of disturbances at the Belmont High School charity auction before, these two oil paintings have been carefully disguised!
They are also completely covered by another oil painting painted with special pigments, hiding the real painting and its original appearance! The superficial paintings are completely disguised and have no value at all!
As you saw above, these two oil paintings are also two skins. The oil painting used for camouflage on the surface and the real painting underneath are like water and oil. They do not blend at all and have a clear boundary!
If someday Thompson or someone else wants to restore the original appearance of these two oil paintings, they only need to wipe off the special paint on the surface. Just be careful. It shouldn't damage the famous painting behind it!
This camouflage technique is perfect and takes great pains!
Just to complete the disguise, it is estimated that it will take a long time, ten days and a half months is for sure!
Especially the view of the old North Church in the living room is a completely new creation, it is just a creation based on a famous painting on the surface.
It can be seen from this that Thompson must be extremely fond of these two top oil paintings hidden, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of energy in disguising, just to enjoy these two top oil paintings at any time!
The moment he saw the two oil paintings in the suite, Ye Tian suddenly settled down.
Thompson is the launch of Tillerson! He is the cunning behind-the-scenes man who keeps giving orders in the dark, and is a deeply hidden international art thief!
Ye Tian was very sure about this.
But he didn't care about it at all, because it was all expected and he had already thought of it!
At this time, he was watching the two oil paintings hanging on the wall of the suite with drunken eyes, and he used the perspective power without hesitation!
The first is the huge oil painting in the living room! This picture is so eye-catching!
In his eyes, this oil painting is radiating a dazzling orange light. Judging from the intensity of the light, you can very accurately determine the age of this oil painting!
This is an oil painting created in the early seventeenth century. It has a history of more than four hundred years, no doubt!
And the fascinating halos of dozens and twenty layers on the outside of the oil painting are full of temptation! They perfectly illustrate that this is a work by a top artist, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com has extraordinary artistic value!
Of course, its market value is bound to be high. It is definitely a top-level artwork with more than tens of millions of dollars. It is not impossible to exceed one billion!
And these are obviously not the heights Thompson can reach, he simply doesn't have that talent!
The painting hidden under the disguise was the work of that great god. The moment he saw this oil painting, Ye Tian knew in his heart, and he was sure!
The special paint that penetrates the surface of the painting and what Ye Tian sees is a Christian religious oil painting, a very famous artwork, and one of Italy's national treasures!
! A masterpiece by the famous Italian painter Caravaggio!
Caravaggio, his full name is Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
He was born in a bricklayer's family. At first he didn't even have a name. He was poor and lived at the bottom. Caravaggio is the name of the village where he was born.'Michelangelo' and'Da' are due to the two he admired. Grandmaster.
Although very poor, it did not obliterate his talents and fetter his fanatical pursuit of art!
With a passion for art, he began to learn painting at the age of 13, under the tutelage of Titian’s student Simon Peter Zano. After a long period of painstaking study, he gradually began to gain fame and finally reached the pinnacle!
