All the foreign guests shook their heads and sighed, but upon discovering this problem, they were all as excited as if they had been given a shot of blood!
Because this means that this painting has another story! And the story hidden behind it is the reason why antiques are so highly praised!
All collectors have one ultimate wish, that is, they hope that one day they can discover some historical truth from antiques!
Among all the people in the audience, only Chen Ou could not hide the disappointment in his eyes, because this showed that all his previous conclusions were wrong!
Chen Ou had a wry smile in his eyes at this moment, and Su Mei couldn't help but step forward to pat him, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
Buying a fake is no big deal, it's nothing more than spending money to buy a lesson, but the genuine product that you were confident about suddenly turns out to be a fake. This kind of blow is the most heartbreaking!
At this moment, Chen Ou just wanted to be alone, so Su Mei beside him didn't know how to comfort him. She could only persuade him kindly: "It's better to know the truth now than not knowing, and this painting is not a fake."
."
"You don't understand... ugh..." Chen Ou was at a loss to explain. This sense of disparity made his original excitement disappear in an instant.
Seeing Chen Ou's frustration, Su Fei couldn't help but stepped forward to pat him and said with a smile: "Don't be so disappointed. I haven't finished speaking yet. There is a surprise behind me."
"Ah? There's a surprise!"
"Oh! Come on, tell me, don't be pretentious!"
"Young man, your name is Su Fei, right? I remember you, and I will definitely invite you to my manor as a guest next time. But now, tell us, what surprises are there?"
Even the old woman Janice didn't expect that Su Fei would have something to say, and she immediately became very interested!
Su Fei smiled and patted Chen Ou's shoulder gently, as if to say: Listen carefully, the next step is the key!
"There is no doubt that this painting is an authentic work by Bicano, which means that it is indeed an ancient painting from the 16th century. We might as well boldly explore why someone would destroy the integrity of the entire painting and deliberately add this sapphire necklace.
, and what’s the story behind this sapphire necklace!”
"Everything has to start with this blue pigment."
Su Fei's eyes shone with incomparable confidence, and that charming gesture immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Meng Lin couldn't pull her eyes out when she looked at Su Fei, and Su Fei's eyes were also slightly palpitating.
"Everyone knows that after the 18th century, blue pigments changed, and various artificially prepared blues began to enter people's field of vision, so the person who added this sapphire necklace must have been after the 18th century, and must have
Yes, he is a famous painter. Otherwise, he would not have the paint and the skills. Am I right?"
Many foreign guests nodded.
Su Fei changed his voice: "I wonder if you all remember that there was such a person in the middle of the 18th century. He didn't like to create by himself, but he liked to copy the handwriting of famous artists, so that the paintings he copied were fake and real. I dare say
Until now, many so-called famous paintings are even fakes copied by him."
"You're talking about Gillette, it's impossible for everyone to know." Janice smiled kindly.
Gillette, a famous painter in the middle of the 18th century, became famous because two identical famous paintings suddenly appeared at a later auction. This caused his name to spread throughout the calligraphy and painting collection world.
Later, many people went home and took a closer look, only to discover that the paintings in their homes were actually copied by Gillette. They were going crazy at the time!
But precisely because of this, the paintings Gillette copies now are sometimes even higher than the originals, because his artistic accomplishment is so amazing! It is no less than any peerless painter in history!
"If Gillette had done it... indeed, only he could copy Biconno's brushwork to such an extent. The addition of this sapphire necklace would not be out of place at all, it would be exactly the same as the original work itself!"
"Yes, after thinking about it, it seems that he is the only one."
"That's right."
…
The foreign guests all nodded in agreement with Su Fei's point of view, and at the same time, they became much more interested in what Su Fei would say next.
Chen Ou also cheered up instantly and even turned red with excitement!
Because he actually has a famous painting in his hand that was created by both Picannot and Gillet at the same time!
Two celebrities who are worthy of being recorded in the history of calligraphy and painting actually jointly created this painting in their hands! This is not only an exchange between two great painters in the long river of time, but also a unique collection in the world!
At this moment, Chen Ou couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh!
However, Su Fei just glanced at Chen Ou lightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"besides!"
At this moment, everyone had just recovered from the shock, and they were suddenly frightened by Su Fei again!
Su Fei smiled and said, "Don't forget, I haven't talked about that sapphire necklace yet."
"Yes, there is also a necklace!"
"Say it quickly! I can't wait!"
At this moment, everyone was staring at Su Fei closely like a curious good student. Even Su Mei, who didn't know much about collecting, had a focused expression on her face, as if she was afraid of missing any detail.
Our little cutie Meng Lin felt like she was so excited that she was about to fly! She couldn't help humming her cheerful children's songs!
Su Fei changed his voice and mentioned a historical event: "Everyone should remember that in the mid-to-late eighteenth century, a world-shocking change took place in the Ying Kingdom, the Fansai Revolution!"
"And in the autobiography of someone who experienced this revolution, it was mentioned several times that the Versailles Revolution originated from a sapphire necklace!"
Speaking of which, everyone couldn't help but gasped!
"You mean this sapphire necklace is the one!"
"I remember that there is indeed such a record, but historians have different opinions on this and it has not been proven."
"But no one dares to say that this is nonsense."
…………
For a while, everyone was talking to each other, and there was some disagreement.
Janice coughed lightly and said slowly: "Please be quiet, everyone, and let Mr. Su Fei continue."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Su Fei, please continue."
"Then I'll continue." Su Fei nodded slightly to Janice gratefully: "We might as well make a bold guess."
"I have been thinking about a question just now. If this is really Gillette's handiwork, why did he add this sapphire necklace?"
"Then I thought of one thing. Gillette was a staunch supporter of the reformists. I don't need to elaborate on this argument. It has been concluded in history."
"If he released this painting together with the sapphire necklace, you can imagine what the effect would be. It would definitely alarm the royal family of the Ying Kingdom at that time, and with their noble background, they would naturally request that this sapphire necklace be stored
Come to the royal family."
"At that time, the most difficult thing to conquer in the Versailles Revolution was the palace where the royal family was located. There were well-equipped and large numbers of troops there. But what is puzzling is that all historical materials record that the place where the Versailles Revolution first broke out was inside the palace!
Then, through the internal and external cooperation, this led to the victory of the Versailles Revolution!"
"So I have a wild guess!"
Su Fei suddenly stopped when he was talking. He looked around, making everyone else a little anxious and scratching their heads, before he smiled.
"The reason Gillet painted this painting was to use this painting as evidence to send the sapphire into the palace, and this necklace was a signal for the revolutionary insiders to start the first revolution of Verse from within.
Gun signal!"
Everyone's blood boiled when they heard it, and they all immediately locked their eyes on the sapphire necklace not far away!
Naturally, it is impossible for the sapphire necklace to allow the revolutionaries to launch a revolution immediately after entering the palace, because all revolutions require a long preparation, and they need to be coordinated inside and outside! Therefore, this sapphire necklace must have secrets, and it must be preparing the revolutionary army to launch from the outside.
The exact time of the revolution was sent in!
Janice was extremely excited at this moment. She looked at Chen Ou with bright eyes and said excitedly: "Mr. Chen, could you please take out the sapphire necklace and let us all take a closer look!"
Others also looked at Chen Ou expectantly, they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves!
Being surrounded so eagerly by all the top collection experts in the industry, Chen Ou simply doesn't know how to describe his feeling at this moment!
It’s simply awesome!
Chen Ou immediately said: "Come here, take out the necklace quickly!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the necklace was finally brought to everyone. Everyone excitedly put on their gloves and went forward, rummaging back and forth several times, but found nothing.
The enthusiasm suddenly cooled down.
Sometimes heaven and sometimes hell, Chen Ou felt like he couldn't bear it anymore!
At this moment, everyone looked at Su Fei for help!
Su Fei smiled slightly: "I'll do it."
"I'll do it."
To be continued...
