Chapter 538: Polish national treasure
On the wall in front of you, there are over twenty paintings of various types, different artistic styles and different sizes. It occupies all the space on the wall and looks quite spectacular.
The same is true on the walls on both sides and beside the warehouse door behind you. They have been completely occupied by all kinds of paintings, and they are full of hangings, leaving no gaps!
In the room, there are four rows of steel shelves with a length of more than ten meters and a height of about three meters standing on the ground. They look very strong. On both sides of these shelves, there are also many paintings and a lot of them.
The ground is very clean, there are no paintings standing against the wall, all paintings are hung up!
This kind of display method is very scientific, coupled with the internal environment of constant temperature and humidity, can very well protect many paintings and avoid unnecessary damage to them.
Obviously, Thompson's old guy took a lot of thought, which is worthy of recognition!
After all, he has a considerable artistic taste, and as a painter himself, he is not comparable to the other idiots and gangsters who stole artworks. His rank is more than one level higher!
Many of the paintings in front of me have different textures, some painted on paper, painted on canvas, painted on wood, and other kinds of materials.
The types of paintings are not the same, there are oil paintings, sketches, prints, sketches, and even a few traditional Chinese ink landscapes!
Oil painting on canvas is the most common, which is the mainstream of the Western art market, it is normal! The constant temperature and humidity environment is specially designed for oil paintings. This is the most suitable environment for display and preservation of oil paintings!
There are even more artistic styles, including Renaissance, Baroque, Classical Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism, Abstractism, Magic Realism, etc., with a dazzling array of colors!
The creation period is even more different. There are paintings from almost every century within a thousand years. Ye Tian's eyes are shining yellow, orange, red, and white. They are very beautiful!
In his eyes, the most frequent colors are red and white, accounting for almost half of them, indicating that the warehouse contains the largest number of paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Of course, there are some paintings like this that do not emit any dazzling light. They are all modern works of art in the past 50 years.
There are many paintings here, each one is different, showing different beauty, each with its own merits! But they have the biggest thing in common, without exception!
In Ye Tian's eyes, every painting has more than ten or twenty layers of charming halo, full of temptation! There are even more halo layers in a few paintings.
It can be seen that all the paintings here are top art works! Has a very high artistic value, and collection value!
Of course, the market value that Ye Tian and Matisse value most is also extraordinary!
In addition to many paintings of various types, there are also many valuable antiques here.
In the middle of the warehouse, there are huge modular shelves on the left and right, which are similar to the Duobao Pavilion in traditional Chinese furniture.
These two shelves are assembled by an angle iron frame and a three-centimeter-thick wooden board. They don't look the slightest aesthetic, but they are very strong and practical.
On the shelves are not all kinds of paintings, but many antiques.
There are fine porcelain from China, classical sculptures from Europe, cultural relics from ancient Egypt, and Native American cultural relics, etc.! There are many kinds, occupying most of the space on the shelf.
Compared to many paintings, these antiques are even older!
There are five or six thousand years of history in the distance, and three to four hundred years in the near. Ye Tian's eyes are shining with beautiful lights of all colors, and his eyes are a little dizzy.
In addition to the dazzling light radiated by each antique, there are many layers of charming halos, which are also full of temptation and exciting!
Obviously, the vast majority of antiques on the shelves have extraordinary artistic value and high market value.
Ye Tian walked along the middle passage and admired the antique artworks on the walls and shelves on both sides. He was intoxicated and proud! The smile is so brilliant!
In a blink of an eye, he had reached the end of the passage, then stopped, raised his head slightly, and began to admire a portrait of a person on the wall in front of him!
In his eyes, this portrait of a person radiates a dazzling orange light, so beautiful!
Judging from the intensity of the light radiated by the painting, the age of its creation can be accurately determined.
This is a classic painting from the 16th century! The painting skills are superb, no matter the light or the characters in the paintings, it gives people a sense of tranquility, harmony and harmony! It is a masterpiece at a glance!
In addition to the dazzling orange light, the twenty layers of fascinating halos illustrate this point extremely accurately!
This is a top-notch oil painting, produced by the top masters of painting. The artistic value is extraordinary, and the market value is also extraordinary!
No matter in any large museum in the world, this top-of-the-art artwork can become a treasure of the town hall, and even a national treasure of the country where it is located, there is no doubt!
This classic oil painting in Renaissance style alone is enough to make the Metropolitan Museum and MOMA envy crazy, not to mention there are more top antique works of art here!
The position where this portrait of a person is hung is facing the warehouse door, with a good view. Ye Tian saw it as soon as he entered the warehouse, and it was hard to ignore it!
The moment he saw this oil painting, his sight was firmly attracted, and he was shocked by the appearance of this oil painting here!
After the shock, he quickly made a decision to use this top oil painting as the first target of the video material.
Ye Tian knew this top oil painting and was quite familiar with it.
Not only him, anyone who has a little bit of research on Western art history basically knows this famous painting!
This is a portrait of a classicist figure. The name is "Portrait of a Young Man". The artist who created this oil painting is Raphael, a famous Italian painter and one of the three great Renaissance art circles!
Raphael is one of the most outstanding painters in Italy. He is also known as the three masters of the Renaissance art scene along with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, and is the youngest among them.
His works draw on the strengths of many families and form his own unique style, representing the most admired aesthetic taste of the people at that time, and becoming a model unattainable by later classicism artists.
In the history of Western art, Raphael's position is very lofty. His art is respected by later generations as "classical art", and his works are respected as "models of creation" and enjoy a high reputation.
His creation of "The Sistine Madonna" is highly regarded as an artistic masterpiece comparable to "Mona Lisa" and a rare treasure in the treasure house of human culture and art.
This classicist oil painting on canvas is one of Raphael's representative works. The portrait of a young man in the painting is said to be Raphael himself.
The thin and white face, the flowing hair, the peaceful and elegant temperament, and the slightly melancholy eyes, from these aspects, it is indeed very similar to Raphael himself!
Before World War II, this famous painting has been kept in the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow, Poland, for people to appreciate and admire. It is one of Poland's most important national treasures.
It wasn't until 1939 that World War II broke out and Germany invaded Poland. Unfortunately, this top-class painting fell into the hands of the Nazi SS and was taken to Berlin by the Gestapo to decorate Hitler's mansion.
In 1945, senior Nazi official Hans Frank found this famous painting in the collection of the Führer and brought it to the Royal Wawel Castle.
Since then, this painting has never appeared again, completely disappeared!
During the Second World War, Poland lost countless precious works of art, and this famous painting by Raphael is the most important one.
In the years to come, the Czartoryski family tried many times to find this top-class painting, but found nothing. There is no way to know who this famous painting fell into.
Not only is the Czartoryski family looking for this famous painting, the Polish government has also spared no effort to search for these lost cultural relics and artworks around the world! .
Once found, they will try to recover these lost cultural relics or artworks from collectors, museums, and even descendants of Nazis all over the world, at a huge price!
This top oil painting from Raphael is undoubtedly the most important target of the Polish government's search.
But who would have thought that this top-notch painting would have fallen into the hands of Thompson in Boston and was hidden in such an extremely secret underground warehouse.
"The painting is great! It is worthy of being one of the three outstanding artists in the Renaissance art circle, and a well-deserved reputation!"
Ye Tian exclaimed a few words in a low voice, and then ended the short appreciation process.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his mobile phone and started shooting this top oil painting, giving the most accurate identification conclusion.
"What you see is a famous classicist oil painting, one of the three masters of the Italian Renaissance art circle, and one of the masterpieces of the famous painter Raphael Sansi, "Portrait of a Young Man".
This portrait of a classicist figure was created between 1513 and 1514. It was the peak of Raphael's artistic career. The young man in the painting ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is said to be Raphael himself.
Based on my research and appraisal of this painting, I can say with certainty that this is Raphael's original painting, that is the top art piece that made Hitler's heart fascinating, and it is extremely valuable!
After disappearing in 1945, this famous painting has never appeared again, there is no trace! I didn't expect to be here. This is the luck for each of us to appreciate such a perfect artwork.
Of course, this is also my luck. I am very honored to discover this famous painting and bring this famous painting back to the public eye, so that it can be seen again, and it will bring you beautiful enjoyment! ..."
Ye Tian introduced this famous painting while shooting, very professional!
He not only photographed the whole painting, but also brought the mobile phone camera close to the oil painting, and several partial close-ups came up, leaving more and more powerful visual evidence.
Soon, the video material of this oil painting was taken, and the appraisal conclusion was read out.
After that, Ye Tian took a few more glances at this top-level famous painting, then reluctantly looked away and looked at another famous painting nearby.
