Chapter 557: The Secret Behind the Necklace
All the foreign guests shook their heads and sighed, but finding this problem made them all feel as if they were injected with chicken blood!
Because this shows that this painting has another story! And the story hidden behind it is the reason why antiques are crazyly praised!
All collectors have an ultimate wish, that is, they hope that one day they can explore a certain historical truth from antiques!
Among everyone in the audience, Chen Ou could not hide his disappointment, because this shows that his previous statements were all wrong!
Chen Ou smiled bitterly at this moment, and Su Mei couldn't help but step forward and pat him, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
It’s no big deal to buy a fake item, it’s nothing more than spending money to learn a lesson, but the real item with full confidence is suddenly proven to be a fake item. This kind of blow is the most heartbreaking thing!
Chen Ou wanted to be alone at this moment, which made Su Mei next to him feel uncomfortable and could only persuade him with kind words: "It is better to know the truth now than not, and this painting is not a fake."
"You don't understand...oh..." Chen Ou couldn't say anything about his pain. This sense of gap made his original excitement disappear in an instant.
Seeing Chen Ou so depressed, Su Fei couldn't help but step forward and pat him, and smiled and said, "Don't be so disappointed, I haven't finished talking yet, there's a surprise behind."
"Ah? There are also surprises!"
"Oh! Tell me quickly, don't keep it!"
"Young man, your name is Su Fei, right? I remember you. Next time I will definitely invite you to visit my manor, but now you can tell us what surprises there are?"
Even the old woman Janice didn't expect that Su Fei would have some more words, and immediately became interested again!
Su Fei smiled and patted Chen Ou on the shoulder, as if saying: Listen with peace of mind, the next thing is the key!
"This painting is undoubtedly the original work of Biconno, which means that it is indeed an ancient painting from the 16th century. We might as well explore why some people are willing to destroy the completeness of the whole painting and deliberately add this sapphire necklace. What kind of story is behind this sapphire necklace!"
"It all starts with this blue pigment."
Su Fei's eyes were flashing with great confidence, and the charming posture immediately attracted the eyes of everyone present. Meng Lin's eyes were completely unable to pull out, and Su Fei's eyes were also slightly throbbing.
"Everyone knows that after the 18th century, blue pigments changed, and various artificially prepared blues began to enter people's vision. Therefore, the person who added this sapphire necklace must have been after the 18th century, and must be a famous painter. Otherwise, he would not have this pigment or this foundation. What I said is correct?"
Many foreign guests nodded.
Su Fei changed his voice: "I don't know if you remember that there was such a person in the middle of the 18th century who didn't like self-creation, but he liked to copy the handwriting of famous artists, so that the paintings he copied were fake and real. I dare say that until now, many so-called famous paintings were even fakes he copied."
"You are talking about Gillett, and you can't not know." Janice smiled kindly.
Gillett, a famous painter in the mid-18th century, became famous because two identical famous paintings suddenly appeared at an auction in a later generation, which led to his name spread throughout the calligraphy and painting collection industry. Later, many people went home and observed carefully, and then they found that their paintings were actually copied by Gillett, and they were going crazy at that time!
But it is precisely because of this [Literature Museum] that the paintings copied by Gillett are sometimes even higher than the original ones, because his artistic cultivation is really amazing! It is no less than any peerless painter in history!
"If Gillett took action... Indeed, only he could copy Biconnor's brushwork to such an extent. This sapphire necklace is not abrupt at all, it is 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 nodded in agreement with Su Fei's point of view. At the same time, they became more interested in what Su Fei wanted to say in the future.
Chen Ou also instantly cheered up, and even blushed with excitement!
Because he actually has a famous painting created by Biconnor and Gillett at the same time!
Two famous artists who are enough to be recorded in the history of calligraphy and painting actually created this painting in their hands together! This is not only the exchange between two great painters over the long river of time, but also the unique collection in the world!
Chen Ou couldn't help laughing to the sky at this moment!
However, Su Fei just glanced at Chen Ou indifferently 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 just now, and was immediately scared by Su Fei again!
Su Fei smiled and said, "Don't forget, I haven't said that sapphire necklace yet."
"Yes, there's a necklace!"
"Tell me quickly! I can't wait!"
At this moment, everyone was staring at Su Fei like a curious good student. Even Su Mei, who had a half-understanding of the collection, had a focused expression on her face, as if she was afraid of missing any details.
Our little cutie Meng Lin felt so excited that she was about to fly! She could not help but hum her cheerful children's songs in her heart!
Su Fei changed his voice and mentioned a historical event: "Everyone should remember that in the mid-to-late 18th century, there was a shocking change in Yingguo, and the Vansey Revolution!"
"And in the autobiography of a certain experiencer of this revolution, the Vance Revolution originated from a sapphire necklace!"
As they spoke, everyone couldn't help but gasp!
"You mean this sapphire necklace is that!"
"I remember there is indeed a record, but historians have many different opinions on this and have not been proven."
"But no one dares to say that this is nonsense."
…………
For a moment, everyone said something and said something, and there was some argument.
Janice coughed lightly and said slowly: "Please be quiet and let Mr. Su Fei continue."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Su Fei, please continue."
"Then I'll continue." Su Fei nodded slightly at Janice thankfully: "We might as well make a bold guess."
"I just kept thinking about a question. If this is really Gillet's work, why would he add this sapphire necklace?"
"I thought of one thing later on, Gillert was a staunch supporter of the reformists. I don't need to say much about this argument, and there has been a conclusion in history."
"If he put this painting out with the sapphire necklace, you can imagine what effect it will have? It will surely alarm the royal family of Ying Kingdom at that time, and their noble origins will naturally ask that the sapphire necklace be stored in the royal family."
"At that time, the most difficult thing for the Vance Revolution to conquer was the palace where the royal family was located, which had well-equipped and numerous troops. But what is puzzling is that all historical materials record the place where the Vance Revolution first broke out, which was the interior of the palace! Immediately after the internal and external cooperation, this led to the victory of the Vance Revolution!"
"So I had a bold guess!"
Su Fei suddenly stopped as he spoke. He looked around, which made everyone else feel anxious and couldn't help but scratch his head. He smiled.
"The reason why Gillett painted this painting was to use this painting to testify that the sapphire was sent into the interior of the Dao Palace. This necklace was a signal that the revolutionary inside should fire the first shot of the Vanceh revolution from the inside!"
Everyone was so excited that they all stared at the sapphire necklace not far away!
It is naturally impossible for the sapphire necklace to immediately let the revolutionaries initiate a revolution after entering the palace, because all revolutions require a long preparation and need to be combined inside and outside! Therefore, this sapphire necklace must have a secret, and it must have sent in the exact time when the revolutionary army was preparing to launch a revolution from outside!
Janice was extremely excited at this moment. She looked at Chen Ou with light in her eyes and said excitedly: "Mr. Chen, can you please take out the sapphire necklace and let us all observe carefully!"
The others also looked at Chen Ou with hope, so excited that they couldn't help themselves!
Being so eagerly surrounded by all the top collectors in the industry, Chen Ou no longer knows how to describe his feelings at this moment!
It's so exciting!
Chen Ou immediately said: "Come here, take out the necklace quickly!"
In front of everyone, the necklace was finally brought to everyone. Everyone excitedly put on gloves to go forward. They searched back and forth several times, but found nothing.
The enthusiasm suddenly became cold.
Chen Ou felt that he could not bear it anymore!
At this moment, everyone's eyes were looking at Su Fei for help!
Su Fei smiled slightly: "I'll do it."
"I'll do it."
The look of Chen Ou asking for help was so unbearable that Su Fei was too lazy to take this airs.
Putting on gloves and picking up the sapphire necklace, Su Fei looked back and forth through the necklace several times, then fumbled over the sapphires until he rubbed the largest sapphire!
Su Fei twisted the largest sapphire necklace slightly, and with a bang, the sapphire suddenly flipped up, and under the sapphire was an empty sunken.
The size is just enough to put down a folded piece of paper!
The atmosphere in the interior exhibition hall exploded completely instantly!
The guests in the external exhibition hall were still talking to each other, but suddenly they heard a shocking cheer from the internal exhibition hall! They were shocked!
"What's going on?"
Xing Yang frowned and said. Although his identity cannot enter the internal exhibition hall, his family status is not comparable to that of others in the external exhibition hall. Now the booth where he is located is already overcrowded.
A man wondered, "Is something happened?"
Another man had already stood up, and he walked to the corridor and asked the staff, but the staff also said he was not aware of the situation.
Chapter completed!
