> confirmed Polina. After the source of Bonaparte's portrait, Xiao Ran began to seriously study the realist landscape painting, and carefully observed it inch by inch with a magnifying glass.
In the process, he successively pointed out several places that conformed to the characteristics of Courbet's painting style to support his identification conclusions.
For the identification conclusions he gave, neither Elaine nor Lucian had the slightest doubt.
After a while, Xiao Ran found the strongest evidence on this painting.
Those were a few French acronyms hidden in the grass, signed by Courbet, the founder of realism.
The discovery of the author's signature completely confirmed the origin of this painting, and there was no doubt about it.
The moment they saw the author's signature through the magnifying glass, Elaine and the girls immediately cheered and were all excited.
Lucian's face was full of frustration, and the remorse was almost dead, and he kept muttering to himself.
Seeing his appearance, Xiao Ran was really afraid that something would happen to this guy, such as a rapid attack on the heart, a cerebral hemorrhage or something.
He had to say a few words of comfort, lest something happen to him.
"Actually, you don't have to be sad, Lucian, it's normal to be picked up in
an antique shop" "As long as you open an antique shop, how many people haven't blinked?" It's just your turn this time! Look at the opening point!
"Besides, it is also a good thing that I discovered the true provenance and value of these two paintings, lest they be completely buried!"
"The discovery of these two paintings will surely cause a sensation in the art world, and your antique shop will also become famous and spread throughout the antique shop!"
Hearing this, Lucian couldn't help but pause.
Immediately afterwards, this guy said angrily:
"You're right, Sean, as long as you open an antique store, everyone has an eye, and it's normal to be picked up, I can accept all this!"
"But why is it always you who picks up the leaks, and the unlucky bastards like me who are always picked up? That's also so unfair!
"My antique shop will indeed be famous for the discovery of these two paintings, but I would rather be unknown than make this name and become a joke in the industry!"
That being said, Lucian's mood got much better.
He has been messing around in the antique shop for decades, and his psychological endurance is still very good, and he quickly adjusted his mood.
Listening to his words, Elaine and David both secretly snickered, and nodded in unison.
Seeing that Lucian's mood had improved, Xiao Ran suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few more conversations, he asked for three painting bags from Lucian and prepared to leave with these three paintings.
Lucian naturally did not refuse, and immediately took three painting bags over.
While handing the three painting bags to Xiao Ran, this guy also asked curiously:
"Sean, how much do you value this landscape painting by Courbet?" Can you talk about it?
"And one more point, will you restore Jacques David's Portrait of Polina to its original appearance?" Or keep it as it is?
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, then looked at the two oil paintings on the shelf, and thought for a while before giving the answer.
"As the founder of the realist school, Courbet's works have always been highly regarded, and the auction prices remain high, and every time they appear, they are rushed by countless collectors!"
"This painting is again the work of Courbet's peak, in view of this, I value this painting at about 80 million US dollars
" "As for Jacques David's "Portrait of Polina", it is natural to maintain its current state, so that it will become a good story and legend in the history of Western art!"
Hearing this, Lucian's eyes turned a little red.
He took a deep breath, then nodded and said:
"80 million US dollars, what an amazing valuation, but I sold this painting for 250,000 euros, what a bead!"
"Not to mention "Portrait of Polina", this eye attack is enough for me to remember for the rest of my life!"
"I agree with your treatment of "Portrait of Polina", it is best to keep this painting in its current state,......"
After a few more conversations, Xiao Ran put the three paintings into a painting bag and left Lucian's antique shop with these treasures!
Lucian endured the pain and sent them out of the antique shop.
Immediately afterwards, this guy closed the door of the antique store, hung up the sign that it was temporarily closed, and hid in the store to cry alone and lick his wounds alone!
Seeing Xiao Ran finally come out of this antique shop, and with three more painting bags in their hands, the guys guarding outside immediately hi, and the scene immediately set off a commotion.
In particular, many media reporters who are looking forward to the headlines are even more excited.
As soon as they walked out of the antique shop, these guys began to ask questions loudly.
"Good morning, Sean, I'm a reporter for France TV and it's a pleasure to interview
you" "Obviously, you found something in this antique shop, can you tell us about your discovery?" Everyone is eager to find out,"
a beautiful reporter in her thirties asked loudly.
With her question, everyone at the scene looked at the few painting bags in Xiao Ran's hands, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.
Xiao Ran looked at the beautiful reporter, then smiled and said in French:
"There is nothing that cannot be said, since everyone is interested, then I will introduce the discovery in
this antique shop" "In this antique shop, I bought three oil paintings, they are all very good works of art, I like them very much
" "One of the oil paintings is a "View of Montmartre" by Yutrilo, son of Paris, and I am ready to collect it myself"
"The other two paintings, but they are unexpected surprises, one is "Summer in Bordeaux" by Courbet, the founder of realism
" "The other romantic painting is very peculiar, it is "Portrait of Polina", Polina is Napoleon's favorite sister
" "The reason why this painting is very peculiar is because it was originally a neoclassical work, created by the neoclassical master Jacques David
" "Later, in order to protect and hide this painting, The romantic lion Delacroix made a second creation on
this painting, changing the artistic style of the original painting" "On this painting, we found the author's signature of Jacques David, and then found Delacroix's tribute to Jacques David, all very hidden
" "This painting can be seen as a perfect cooperation between two masters across time and space, which is unique in the history of Western art and is bound to sensational the Western art world"
In order to attract all the attention to himself, so that his subordinates can do things.
Xiao Ran would do this, and said what he had just discovered without concealment.
As for the effect, do you still need to ask!
Before his voice fell, the scene was completely boiling.
"Oh my God! This lucky guy actually found two top-notch works of art at once, which is incredible!
"Did I hear you right? Jacques David and Delacroix collaborated across time and space, and they teamed up to create "Portrait of Polina" with two artistic expressions, is this myth or reality?
"Wow! If what Sean said is true, then this "Portrait of Polina" is definitely a national treasure and will absolutely sensationalize the entire Western art world."
While discussing, everyone stared at the three painting bags in Xiao Ran's hands.
Many people are full of curiosity and their eyes are extremely hot.
But there are also many people who have a greedy glint in their eyes, and even a little crazy.
Seeing that everyone's emotions have been mobilized, attention has been successfully attracted to it.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then walked towards another antique shop diagonally opposite.
As soon as he took a step, someone in the crowd asked loudly:
"Sean, what is the valuation of these two paintings, can you tell me, it must be very amazing?"
Xiao Ran looked at the guy, and then said with a smile:
"This level of art, the market value is no longer important, we should pay more attention to its artistic value and research
value" "If you have to measure in money, then what I can tell you is that their value is calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars"
After speaking, he went straight to the antique store opposite and no longer answered any questions.
The crowd at the scene, the entire Byron market, and even the entire St. Tuan market, instantly exploded.
Jacques David, "Oath of the Brothers of Horace"
