Chapter 871
It was already noon.
Xiao Ran did not leave the hilly square, but found a café on the side of the square, ate some light meals, and dealt with the lunch meal.
Antiques and works of art previously found and purchased were sent to the convoy and placed in several bulletproof SUVs, guarded by a team of armed security guards.
Just as they were having lunch, the guys from the First Exploration Group also came over and joined them.
The arrival of these guys immediately attracted a lot of attention.
In particular, they also carry some high-tech exploration equipment.
This makes many people think that Xiao Ran will personally lead the team to explore somewhere in Montmartre.
In fact, in order to attract more attention and cover for Liangzi, Xiao Ran was also very willing to perform in person in Montmartre.
After the guys from the first exploration group entered the café and greeted everyone, they each found their seats and sat down for lunch.
Xiao Ran called Matthew over and began to inquire about their situation.
"Tell me about it, Matthew, did you find anything today?"
Hearing this, Matthew shook his head.
"Today we explored several streets near the Church of the Sacred Heart and found nothing!"
"But in the square in front of the Sacred Heart Church, I scanned some metal objects and buried them about five meters underground
" "But it is the famous Sacred Heart Church, and it is impossible to start an excavation operation"
Xiao Ran paused, then smiled and nodded.
"That's right, no matter what we find in the Sacred Heart Church, it is impossible to carry out further exploration, let alone carry out excavation operations
" "If you want to dig and hunt for treasure in the Sacred Heart Church, even with the approval of the French president, you must hold a referendum!"
Before the words fell, Elaine smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, the Church of the Sacred Heart was built by faithful throughout France to commemorate the victims of the Paris Commune Revolution, which is of very special significance
" "There is almost no possibility of archaeological excavations and treasure hunts in the Sacred Heart Church, even with the approval of the President
of the Sacred Heart" The First Exploration Group has not found anything else today except for the discovery in the Sacred Heart Church.
After a few small talks, Xiao Ran suddenly changed his tone.
"Matthew, after lunch, let's go and see the place where a large number of metal objects were found yesterday
" "In that place, we may be able to find some surprises
" "No problem, Xiao Ran, that place is near the wall of love, it will only take ten minutes to walk over"
Matthew nodded and replied.
After a few more conversations, the guy went back to his table and went to lunch.
Soon, everyone had finished lunch and walked out of the café.
As soon as the group walked out of the café, a white boy in his twenties suddenly walked towards this side, carrying a large and a small painting bag in his hand.
This guy is a young painter and paints in the open air on the Hilly Square.
When passing by his painting stall before, Xiao Ran also stopped to look at his works for a while, but did not buy them.
For some reason, at this time, he came over with two more paintings.
Before he could get closer, Anthony had reached out to stop the guy.
Seeing that he couldn't get close, this guy had to say loudly:
"Mr. Sean, I have two paintings here, can you help show them?" It's best
to give an appraisal opinion" Xiao Ran looked at this guy, and then said with a smile:
"Man, I don't have the habit of helping people to appraise works of art for free, unless it is a painting that I like and
want to buy, I will conduct an appraisal" "Even if I give an appraisal conclusion, it is after the deal is reached, in this case, do you still want me to help with the appraisal?"
When the words fell, the white boy suddenly fell silent.
After a little thought, this guy said:
"Sean, these two paintings may be of interest to you, they may be the works of Vial, the representative painter of the Nabi faction
" "If you like these two paintings, I can sell them to you, and the price can be discussed"
Hearing his words, Xiao Ran couldn't help but pause.
Immediately afterwards, he joked and said:
"Montmartre is worthy of the world's largest open-air studio, a sacred place in the minds of countless painters, and also hides countless surprises
" "Here, I have just found several paintings by art masters such as Chagani and Pissarro, and now two paintings by Vial have been sent to the door
" "Since it is the work of the master Vial, then I must admire it, guys, let him come"
"Okay, Sean,"
the security guard who stopped the young painter nodded, and then gave way.
The young painter immediately walked to this side, his eyes full of expectation.
At this moment, a fan in the live broadcast room suddenly asked:
"Xiao Ran, what's going on with this Nabi pie?" Who is Vial? How have you never heard of it?
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then quickly explained a few words.
"The French Nabis school is a painting school born in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which existed for a short time, and its members were mainly students of the Julien Academy of Fine Arts in Paris, as well as some French
painters and sculptors" "Nabi painters mainly use interior scenes and daily home life as the main themes, mostly flattened to create decorative effects with strong visual impact
" "Vial is the most important representative painter and founder of the Nabi school. At the same time, he is also an impressionist painter, with a high status in the French art scene, and his paintings are very good in the market"
With his introduction, many fans who know nothing about Nabi and Vial have some preliminary understanding.
As he spoke, the young painter approached and introduced himself.
This guy is called Sebastian, from Bordeaux in the south, just a few years after graduating from Paris haute couture, and currently lives in Montmartre.
A young painter like him, Montmartre grabbed a handful, and there was nothing surprising.
Most of them end up having a hard time drawing and becoming invisible.
Like Fellini, there are few young painters who have been appreciated by Xiao Ran, and there are few in the Place de la Tertre.
But everyone wants such an opportunity, after decades of hard work, who does not want to get ahead?
Because of this, after hearing what happened to Fellini, Sebastian remembered that he also had two paintings in his hand that were suspected to be masters of art.
So he hurried back to his residence and brought these two paintings to try to let Xiao Ran identify them.
If you can take this opportunity to get Xiao Ran's appreciation and affirmation, it will naturally be better.
Even if you are not as lucky as Fellini, it is a good thing to be able to sell these two paintings at a high price.
In that case, at least I don't have to worry about the rest of my life.
It has to be said that Sebastian's abacus played very well.
After the introduction, the guy opened one of the painting bags and took out the paintings inside.
As he said, it is a Nabis style painting.
The painting shows two whispering young girls, dressed in long, colorful dresses, next to a delicate vase with a bouquet of flowers.
The whole painting is rich and colorful, bright and gorgeous, with great visual impact and skillful painting technique.
However, there is no author's signature on this painting, and it is impossible to judge its provenance for a while.
Xiao Ran looked at the painting seriously, and then nodded.
"Yes, this is indeed the Nabis painting style, take out the other painting for me to see"
Seeing that he did not immediately give an appraisal conclusion, Sebastian couldn't help but be stunned.
But he reacted in a blink of an eye, and then quickly opened another painting bag and took out the second painting.
The moment he saw this painting, a hint of surprise flashed under Xiao Ran's eyes.
Even though he had seen the painting through it before, he was still pleasantly surprised to see it again.
Fortunately, he has been wearing sunglasses and is not worried about showing stuffing.
