Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Yuanshan was an experienced expert and was mentally prepared, but when he actually saw the content of the painting and the signature on it, he couldn't help but gasp.  />

    This portrait and its author were something he had never thought of, but it was definitely of great value.

    The number of portraits of emperors painted by painters in the past dynasties is not small, but it is extremely rare that they can be handed down so that future generations can clearly recognize their faces and truly feel the aura of the emperors.

    This portrait of Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty is one of the exceptions.

    Especially, it was done by Lu Tanwei, a famous painter in the history of Chinese art.

    Although Liu Yuanshan kept reminding himself from the bottom of his heart, he must not be gullible until the final appraisal result comes out. These are all obstacles on the road to appraisal. When you believe in one aspect, you ignore its other problems, and it is easy to  It will cause identification errors.  He has suffered a lot from this in his life.

    But at this moment, Liu Yuanshan still felt an inexplicable excitement that he couldn't suppress in his heart. Whether it was Zhou Xia or the Liu family, he was more willing to believe that this painting was the genuine work of Lu Tanwei.

    Liu Yuanshan quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to appraise the painting from all aspects.

    However, he picked it over and over again, but couldn't find any obvious flaws.

    Could it be that "real gold is not afraid of fire"?

    Liu Yuanshan also expected this, but the reality will not change according to one's mood.  This painting is here, it is either true or false, there is no third possibility.

    "If you can't identify the authenticity, it only means that your appraisal level is not good enough. You have to continue to practice hard. There is no other way."

    And we need to make a more in-depth appraisal of this painting.  It must be judged from Lu Tanwei's painting style.

    Because in history, there is no authentic work of Lu Tanwei that has been passed down to the present.  Even if there is a description of his style, it is the opinion of others after him, and it can only be used as a reference. After all, everyone has their own opinions and tendencies, and not everything can be regarded as a golden rule. Even ancient collectors  No exception.

    Liu Yuanshan studied attentively for a while.  Then he told Liu Yuqing, "This subsequent identification is not easy. What is Lu Tanwei's style? We still need to work hard and read the information to make it more accurate. But as far as the current situation is concerned,  I didn¡¯t find anything wrong with the painting. The only thing that seemed strange was that it was so well preserved.¡±

    Liu Yuqing replied hehe, "The possibility of coincidence is quite high. In other words, if it is not well preserved, we will have no chance to see such a painting. By the way. Grandpa, Zhou Xia emphasized to me  , in the near future, it is best not to reveal the news about this painting. Let us do it quietly. There may be follow-up actions on his side. I have already promised him. I also guess in my heart that he is very  It's possible to get such good things. If he hadn't gone to Beijing to participate in the auction this time and wanted to put the things here with us, he probably wouldn't have taken them out at the height of the storm.  "

    "Well. Since you have promised someone, you must keep your promise. The two of us are thinking about it these days, and we will make a final decision after he finishes the matter. Anyway, this painting will definitely not be able to catch up with such an autumn auction, so there is no need to be so anxious.  . We will try our best to raise the funds he needs first." Liu Yuanshan nodded, like a mirror in his heart, he also affirmed her behavior.  He thought that if Liu Yuqing didn't agree at that time, Zhou Xia would probably make other plans. After all, Zhou Xia had many choices and the initiative was always in his hands.

    In addition, the sophisticated Liu Yuanshan had more thoughts in his heart. He felt that Zhou Xia was doing this with the intention of testing the Liu family.

    You must know that with the energy of the Liu family, it is not difficult to investigate Zhou Xia's recent actions.  It would not be impossible if he could get ahead of Zhou Xia and intercept the things he wanted to buy.  If, as Zhou Xia said, a few such paintings could be obtained and intercepted, the Liu family would make a lot of money.

    Liu Yuanshan doesn¡¯t know whether Zhou Xia revealed this information with the intention of testing it.

    But as far as Liu Yuanshan¡¯s own style of behavior is concerned, he must be cautious and must abide by it.  Especially in the antique collecting industry, which is inherently full of intrigues and battles of wits and courage, if you are too simple-minded, you will die without knowing it.

    " If Liu Yuanshan is the kind of person who has no self-control, he may not be able to withstand the temptation when he hears that such a huge temptation is placed in front of him.

    To say that you are completely unmoved by something worth hundreds of millions is an absolute lie.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Yuan Shan didn't know whether Zhou Xia's words were true or false, so he would not act easily.

    Of course, Zhou Xia has an excuse for everything she does, is it possible?  Since paintings like Lu Tanwei's can be preserved to this day, it is possible that other people's paintings can be preserved in the same way.  In fact, Zhou Xia didn't need to explain anything to others at all.

    ¡° If Zhou Xia was just talking nonsense and deceiving the Liu family into taking action, thereby leaving behind flaws, then the Liu family would not gain anything at all.  The friendship with Zhou Xia ends here, and there is no room for recovery.

    Even looking at the best situation, the Liu family tried their best, mobilized all connections, and used various means to obtain the few precious things that Zhou Xia said might indeed exist.  Although the Liu family will gain a lot, their relationship with Zhou Xia will undoubtedly drop to freezing point.  This is a revenge that destroys people's wealth and is worse than killing their parents.

    Liu Yuanshan made his own decision in his heart whether it was worth it to give up the benefits and Zhou Xia's friendship for something illusory.

    I believe Liu Yuqing is the same, and the temptation for her is definitely not as big as Liu Yuanshan.

    But neither of them said it. It would be bad if it was said too clearly.

    So, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention this matter, and Liu Yuanshan continued to look at the painting below.

    Liu Yuqing¡¯s mind was not on the painting at all. From the time she received Zhou Xia¡¯s call to pick up the painting until now, her whole body was completely floating. It would be appropriate to say that she was hit on the head by a pie falling from the sky.

    Fortunately, Liu Yuqing's performance was perfect, but she was not satisfied with it. It was rare for her to calm down, so she carefully recalled and pondered some things in her heart.  Such as the life-long issues mentioned by Liu Yuanshan, how to deal with public and private issues in the future, etc.

    But one thing is unquestionable, that is, even if the relationship with Zhou Xia does not go further, you must not do something stupid to worsen it.

    To be honest, Liu Yuqing was a little worried in her heart. The thoughts of Liu Yuanshan and the others, who were the masters of the Liu family, were not something she could guess.

    It was she who discovered Zhou Xia¡¯s potential from the very beginning and devoted all her efforts to training and promoting him. It was impossible to say that she had no personal feelings for him.

    But later Zhou Xia soared into the sky and was out of control. In this short period of time, she handled everything very well, even if it was on the surface.  But in her heart, she was always a little overwhelmed and even confused by the quiet reversal of roles between the two parties.  Many nights, Liu Yuqing asked herself in her heart, in the emotional world, once interests are mixed in, is it a good thing or a bad thing?  Is this kind of emotion pure?  Is it worth cherishing? How does Zhou Xia see herself in her heart?

    And now, Zhou Xia has entered the peak of popularity, and has also produced works by great people like Lu Tanwei and Gu Kaizhi. If it is not handled well, it is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted.

    She naturally didn¡¯t want to see the ending where everyone broke up, and she was particularly concerned about Liu Yuanshan¡¯s attitude. She also hoped that he would stick to his previous opinions after reading Gu Kaizhi¡¯s ¡°Mount Lu¡±.

    However, she then thought about it. With Zhou Xia's current relationship, even if the Liu family wanted to take action against him, it would not be easy. Once word spread, the Liu family's reputation would definitely be destroyed. I believe Liu Yuanshan and the others can see clearly.  Such fact.

    And after Liu Yuanshan opened the box and saw another painting, he felt even more emotional.

    Because this is Gu Kaizhi¡¯s work!

    It is no exaggeration to say that every one of Gu Kaizhi's paintings is a national treasure. Even the Tang Dynasty's imitation of his "Luo Shen Fu Tu" is now regarded as a national treasure, let alone his original work.

    Zhou Xia got his masterpiece of landscape painting "Mount Lu", which may also be the first landscape painting in the history of Chinese art. This luck is indeed unstoppable!

    Unlike the previous portrait of Lu Tanwei, if Zhou Xia wanted to fake this painting, it would not be that easy.

    This is because Gu Kaizhi¡¯s paintings have been handed down from generation to generation. Even if they are not authentic works of Gu Kaizhi, they are of great help in identifying Gu Kaizhi¡¯s works.

    Gu Kaizhi's painting style, style, brushwork characteristics, ink placement, signature, artistic conception and other characteristics have at least an inherent impression in everyone's mind. Although it cannot be said to be a standard, you have to call it an unconstrained painting.  Gu Kaizhi's works will definitely be criticized by everyone.

    In the painting in front of him, the experienced Liu Yuanshan, like the previous painting, could not find any flaws in the objective evidence such as the basic material, weathering characteristics, and atmosphere of the times.  To identify the authenticity of this "Picture of Mount Lu", we still have to look at the painting itself.Kungfu, at this time, will test how deeply the appraiser has studied Gu Kaizhi himself and his works.

    Although Liu Yuanshan knew something about Gu Kaizhi, he was not specialized in this field after all. Compared with those who had been specializing in calligraphy and painting all their lives, there was still a gap.

    ???????? He couldn¡¯t make a conclusion on this point, but judging from his own past experience, it was quite possible that these two paintings were genuine.  This is a good thing that Tiandi Auction Company and the Liu family should be thankful for. Of course, the temptation it brings is even more exciting.
