Chapter 347
It is a rectangular crate, about 120 cm long, about 80 cm wide, and about 60 cm high, not large, but quite heavy.
However, its weight is much lighter than the same volume of gold, and it is obviously not gold.
On the surface of this crate, a black NZ swastika is imprinted, and there are no other signs or words.
What exactly was in the crate was impossible to judge and no one knew.
Xiao Ran stepped forward to take a serious look, only then picked up the crowbar and carefully began to pry the crate.
Seeing his actions, everyone at the scene and all the viewers who were watching the live broadcast unconsciously became nervous.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, the first plank has been successfully pried open.
Next, Xiao Ran pried up the wooden boards on the crate one by one.
With his movements, an object tightly wrapped in a black moisture-proof tarpaulin gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Although the item has not yet been taken out, everyone has judged based on its side contour alone.
This is a sculpture of a human figure riding a war horse, and it is unknown whether it is a bronze sculpture or a marble statue.
Judging by its size and the weight of the crate, bronze sculptures are a little more likely.
As the outline of the statue gradually revealed, everyone became more excited.
"It's like a bronze sculpture, I just don't know which historical figure it's a sculpture,"
Thomas says excitedly.
"It's better not be the statue of the mustache, or you'll have to smash it,"
Charles continued.
In the Western world, everything about mustaches is considered extremely evil and unacceptable.
These include his autobiography, statues, and more.
Except, of course, those far-right and new NZs throughout the West.
In the eyes of those guys, Mustache is still their spiritual leader.
As he spoke, Xiao Ran had already pried open the crate.
Making sure there was no danger, he reached into the box, took the heavy statue out, and placed it on the floor.
Most people had seen his extraordinary strength before, so they were not surprised.
Joshua and Steve, who saw this scene for the first time, were shocked.
When Xiao Ran put the sculpture upright, although he did not open the moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapped outside, everyone could already see the general outline of the sculpture.
This is a general on a war horse, wielding a horsewhip and pointing forward, as if directing the battle.
For this point alone, the probability that the statue is a mustache is low.
The reason is simple, in his life, Mustache rarely rode a war horse to the front line to direct battles.
Xiao Ran looked at the outline of the sculpture, and then began to unwrap the moisture-proof tarpaulin, and said curiously:
"I don't know whose sculpture this is, and which sculptor's work, what is the value?"
As he spoke, he had uncovered the moisture-proof tarpaulin that wrapped the statue.
The sculpture, hidden under the tarpaulin, finally reappears on earth after sleeping in the dark for eighty or ninety years.
As expected, this is a bronze sculpture, about a meter high.
The figure carved is a general wearing a wig cover and a tricorn hat, looking ahead, with a resolute expression, and commanding the army in battle with a horsewhip.
To be precise, this is a statue of a king, and a statue of a Prussian king!
This is determined by the dress of the King of Prussia he wore.
More importantly, this Prussian king is very famous and has a very high historical status in the Western world, everyone knows it, and it is naturally impossible to admit mistakes.
This bronze sculpture presents a romantic artistic style and is best suited to portray some famous historical figures!
The sculptor's skill is very high, and the figures and war horses he carves are lifelike, full of passion, and exude a heroic spirit that can be seen in the world.
The moment they saw this bronze sculpture, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Especially Thomas, their eyes are full of incredulity, and their eyes are round.
Pierre, who was far away in Paris, and two other Louvre experts were also stunned.
Xiao Ran's eyes were full of pride, even though he had already seen this bronze sculpture through more than once.
A moment later, Pierre's excited voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, this is a statue of King Frederick the Great of Prussia by the French romantic sculptor François. Ruud Creation! "
Before 1871, this bronze sculpture has been collected in the Palace of Versailles, recorded in many historical documents, and there are also images
" "After the Franco-Prussian War, this bronze statue was stolen by King William I of Prussia as a trophy, and has been collected in the Prussian royal palace since then" "After World War I, this bronze statue of
Frederick the Great suddenly disappeared, no one knows where it went, many people believe that it has been destroyed in the war""
But who would have thought that this bronze statue would fall into the hands of Friedrich, be brought to the United States by him, and only today has it reappeared in the world!
With Pierre's words, everyone was awakened.
Immediately afterwards, there was a joyful exclamation at the scene.
"Wow! Unexpectedly, it was actually this long-lost bronze statue of Frederick the Great, what an unexpected surprise!
"This bronze sculpture is famous in history and is one of the representative works of romantic sculpture, but I didn't expect it to be hidden in New York!"
Thomas said excitedly.
There is no doubt about the origin of this bronze sculpture and the identification conclusions given between Pierre's whiskers!
For no other reason, this statue of Frederick the Great is a masterpiece, and it is impossible for everyone to admit it!
Pierre is one of the Louvre's leading experts in sculpture art, and his vision is extremely clever, and it is impossible to admit mistakes!
Without waiting for the exclamation to fall, Xiao Ran suddenly continued:
"Frederick the Great is the idol worshiped by Napoleon and Mustache, and this bronze statue is likely to be a gift from Mustache to
Friedrich" "Because of this, this statue of Frederick the Great appeared in New York, and then was hidden by Friedrich in this underground chamber!"
"After Friedrich died in Europe, no one knew where the statue went, and it has only been recreated today!"
Thomas and the others all nodded, and there was no disagreement.
Looking at the smug Xiao Ran, they also blushed with envy.
Xiao Ran not only found billions of dollars worth of NZ gold today, but also found such a top-level work of art.
Next, it is likely that more top antique artifacts and works of art will be found.
Can such luck against the sky not be envied?
After a few words, Thomas and they immediately stepped forward and began to admire and identify this famous romantic sculpture!
Xiao Ran took a step back, switched to Chinese, and began to introduce the sculpture to fans in the live broadcast room.
"Frederick the Great was the king of Prussia in the eighteenth century, known as the iron-blooded monarch in history, a representative of the 'enlightened autocratic' monarchs of Europe, one of the important figures of the Enlightenment
" "It was under his iron fist that Prussia's national strength rose rapidly and in a very short time became one of the European powers
" "Because of his merits, Napoleon and Mustache regarded him as an idol and highly respected him!"
"François who created this romantic statue. Lüd, is one
of the most important representatives of Romantic sculpture" "In the nineteenth century, he was the top master of carving art along with the most outstanding French sculptors at that time, such as Utton and Rodin
", "His most famous masterpiece, known to French women and children, is the group portrait relief "Marseillaise" decorated on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris
" "In the history of romantic sculpture, the relief of "Marseillaise" is considered to be an immortal work,......"
With his introduction, fans in the live broadcast room have a certain understanding of Frederick the Great and the sculptor Rude, as well as this bronze statue!
As he spoke, Steve suddenly walked over.
As soon as he arrived, this guy immediately whispered in anticipation:
"Sean, transfer this statue of Frederick the Great to me, how about $50 million?"
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, and then shook his head slightly.
"Steve, you underestimate the value of this romantic statue, $50 million is not enough!"
"Behind this bronze statue, there are many magnificent historical stories, which are closely linked to many major historical events
" "For example, it witnessed the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War and the humiliating moment when King William I of Prussia was crowned emperor at Versailles!"
"And it's still Mustache's beloved, which will also increase its value
" "If you really want this statue of Frederick the Great, it's 150 million dollars less!"
Hearing this amazing quote, Steve was directly stunned in place.
There was an exclamation in the live broadcast room, and everyone was shocked!
