Chapter 831
After answering a few questions in succession, Xiao Ran walked towards an antique shop not far away, and soon entered the antique shop.
The media reporters who gathered at the door of the gallery immediately poured into the gallery to find Jean for an interview.
Soon, these media reporters got the high-definition photos of "Memories Intertwined with Love and Hate", and also learned about the process of Xiao Ran's discovery and purchase of this top artwork.
They immediately sent this information, to their respective media, and to social networks.
With the release of these news, this painting with a very special meaning suddenly caused a greater sensation and attracted more attention.
And this is the reason why Xiao Ran answered reporters' questions in a high-profile manner, and it is the result he wants to see the most.
He drew everyone's attention to the third exploration team that investigated Lu Qinzhai's treasure, which would reduce the possibility of exposure.
Not far from the Paris City Hall, Carlin has also received news.
Looking at the picture of Lautrec's painting on the phone screen, this guy's face was full of depression, and at the same time he felt that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy.
"Lao Tzu tried his best to keep this bastard in the hotel for seven days, but he still failed to stop this bastard from ransacking the Parisian antique art market, which is abominable!"
"This is the first day after the quarantine, he found one of Lautrec's most important paintings, and there will definitely be more top antique works of art to come
" "Damn it, is it impossible for the Paris antique market to escape the tragic fate of being looted?" Just like Tokyo and Boston,"
Carlin said to himself, and the worry in his eyes suddenly became stronger.
Just then, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked up his phone, glanced at it, and then connected the call.
The call came from France's deputy minister of culture.
After greeting each other, the other person immediately went straight to the point.
"Carlin, you organize a few top art appraisal experts to find
a way to connect with that Shaun guy to identify that Lautrec painting" "If that painting is really the work of Master Lautrec, if it is really the most important work of Lautrec as Shaun guy said"
"Then we have to think of a way to see how to leave that painting in Paris, I heard that Sean guy does not reject trading"
Hearing this, Carlin was immediately dumbfounded.
Let me go to that guy Sean and take someone to identify the top art he just found, is there a mistake?
In order to give the Paris antique market a breather, I have completely offended that bastard to death!
Isn't it a dream to come to the door now and ask for an appraisal and acquisition of that painting by Lautrec, eating a closed-door soup is almost a sure thing!
Although secretly complaining, Carlin took on the task hard.
"Okay, Mr. Minister, I'll arrange this right away
" "I just looked at a few pictures on social media, the authenticity of this painting should be fine
" "But whether it is the most important work of Lautrec, you have to identify it"
After a few more discussions, the French deputy minister of culture hung up.
Carlin, who ended the call, was full of sadness.
After sitting in his chair and thinking for a moment, he began to call outside.
6th arrondissement, in antique shops.
Xiao Ran and they were standing in front of a stone sculpture, admiring and discussing at the same time.
This is a sculpture of the goddess of the cat-headed human being, from ancient Egypt, which is a statue of the cat god Best.
The statue is not large, only half a meter high, but the shape is vivid.
The ancient Egyptian cat god sits on a stone platform, holding an anka (talisman of life) in his left hand and a collar decorated with a lion's head in his right hand, staring ahead.
On this statue of the cat god, there are many exquisite patterns engraved.
The stone platform below is carved with some cuneiform writing, which is a bit interesting to look at.
Xiao Ran looked at the sculpture, and then said jokingly:
"This seems to be a sculpture of the cat god from ancient Egypt, and there are many ancient Egyptian characters on it, as well as exquisite ornamental patterns
" "Pierre, you are an expert in the sculpture art department of the Louvre, and you live on this street, how can you miss such a treasure?"
Hearing this, Pierre smiled and shook his head.
"I have long seen this sculpture of the cat god Best, this sculpture is not from ancient Egypt, but from the forties and fifties of the last century!"
"This is a forgery forged in the last century, the original is in the National Museum of Egypt, the production is quite exquisite, but the writing on the stone platform is full of loopholes
" "If you treat it as a piece of furnishings, it is a little interesting, if it is collected as an antique cultural relics, it has little collection value!"
"It turned out to be a fake, but it's really interesting to look at!"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded and said.
After admiring the sculpture for a while, they walked towards the museum shelf next to it.
On this shelf, there are a lot of porcelain.
There are so-called antique porcelain from China, and many porcelain from European countries, mainly European porcelain.
Xiao Ran's target was naturally the so-called Chinese antique porcelain.
As for the larger number of European porcelain, because European porcelain is more modern and brand-oriented, each piece of porcelain is printed with the name and age of the factory, which is basically not missed!
More importantly, Xiao Ran was not interested in European porcelain!
Coming to the museum, he quickly scanned the overall situation, and then looked at a fine piece of porcelain.
This is a small and beautiful pale yellow glaze vase, only about 15 centimeters in height, more than three centimeters in diameter, and less than two centimeters in diameter.
Skimming, thin neck, slippery shoulders, tapering under the shoulders, circle feet, light yellow glaze is applied throughout the body and inside the feet.
Like a girl in a light yellow long dress, her curves are delicate, her posture is graceful, and she is extremely moving!
The moment they saw this pale yellow glaze bottle, everyone was immediately fascinated.
Especially Elaine and Fang Yufei, their eyes are even brighter.
"This little bottle is so beautiful, it's amazing to look at!"
"It's so small and beautiful, it's fun to enjoy on the table or play with in your hand!"
Elaine and Fang Yufei both said in admiration.
Caroline, who was standing on the side, was also full of fondness.
Just as they were amazed, Xiao Ran had already picked up this porcelain and looked at the bottom foot.
On the foot of this pale yellow glaze vase, there is a six-character seal book engraved 'Great Qing Yongzheng Year'.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
The next moment, he smiled and began to introduce this exquisite piece of porcelain.
"This piece of porcelain is called Qingyongzheng light yellow glaze vase, as the name suggests, it is a piece of porcelain for appreciation, not a practical one!"
"Light yellow glaze porcelain was created and burned in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, and is a very representative porcelain of the Yongzheng period, representing the elegant aesthetics of the Yongzheng Emperor" "This porcelain evolved from the willow leaf vase of the Kangxi period, the shape is delicate, the glaze color is idyllic, which epitomizes the artistic style of Yongzheng
porcelain" "But unfortunately, this light yellow glaze
appreciation bottle is imitated during the Republic of China, not the porcelain of the Yongzheng dynasty, but the imitation is very good!"
Hearing this, Elaine suddenly whispered:
"Honey, let's buy this pale yellow glaze bottle" "
It can be placed in the apartment here, this is a very good decoration, I like it very much!"
Xiao Ran paused, then nodded.
"Of course, no problem, I also like
this light yellow glaze vase" "Although this light yellow glaze bottle is made in the Republic of China, it can be displayed in museums as a representative of Republic of China porcelain!"
After a few small talks, he looked at the antique shop owner standing not far behind, ready to ask for the price.
