The Book of Appreciation

The Brera Gallery is a famous gallery in Milan.Originally a Christian church school, it was designed and expanded by the architect Rickini in 1651, and was finally built by his son.The whole building is divided into 40 rooms, which contain various famous paintings.

Wu Di took a quick look and felt that there were still quite a few high-quality goods, but they were either not for sale or outrageously expensive.In Europe, the status of oil paintings is not the same as that of domestic antiques. This actually shows a truth that many people have deliberately forgotten, things are better for themselves.

Large galleries are only suitable for visiting, not for Taobao.Song Ying led Wu Di eastward and westward, and came to a small gallery with only three exhibition rooms, the layout is also very simple, but the flow of people is not small.

Wu Di looked at the studio on the left for a while, and then laughed. Although the sparrow is small and complete, it is interesting to see the works of some domestic modern painters on display here.

The domestic ink paintings that can be exhibited are not the works of famous masters, but some are worthy of praise. There is a landscape painting signed by Xifengshou, which is very similar to the place where Wu Di lived when he was a child. The price is only [-] euros, and he is too lazy to bargain. Let the clerk wrap it up.

All the exhibits in the studio in the middle are oil paintings. From the price point of view, Wu Di stopped when he saw one with a price tag of 2000 million.

Because Wu Di bought a piece of work very casually, the shop assistants have been paying attention to his expression.Seeing that Wu Di paid attention to the oil painting with a price tag of 2000 million, he came over and introduced:

"This is the treasure of our store, and it is the authentic work of Van Gogh. Experts agree that it is the draft of Sunflower. The "Sunflower" painted only with a combination of brilliant yellow colors can be called the incarnation of Van Gogh. , can also be said to be his masterpiece. His sunflowers have an extraordinary rushing force to break through the frame, and a desire to express themselves that cannot be restrained, which is shocking. Vatican Sunflowers in Gao's works are not just plants, but life forms with primitive impulse and enthusiasm..."

The clerk excitedly started a long speech, which was in English at the beginning, but then switched back to Italian. Fortunately, Song Ying could handle it.

Wu Di shook his hand, interrupted the clerk's introduction, and said with a smile:

"Your introduction is the same as the information I have memorized! However, from this painting, I only see decadence, chaos and struggle, which is completely opposite to the artistic conception of Van Gogh's famous painting Sunflower. If it is authentic, it is just Van Gogh It’s just Mr.’s scribbles.”

"Wow! Sir, there are really not many orientals who can appreciate oil paintings like you. This painting is indeed full of contradictions and struggles on the surface, but this kind of struggle just represents Mr. Van Gogh's mental state at that time, and he It was through overcoming this mental state that the later painting of sunflowers, which has been passed down through the ages, was created.”

"Hehe, it makes sense to be fooled! Life is as brilliant as summer flowers, but it actually represents a kind of withering. Can I check this painting?"

The clerk looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, and said:

"Please wait a moment."

After a while, a thin middle-aged man with a height of 1.9 meters followed behind the clerk and came to Wu Di. He is the owner of this gallery and has the same surname as the famous Italian football striker Zola.After politely greeting Wu Di, the middle-aged man asked:

"Young man, this painting is indeed the authentic work of Mr. Van Gogh. We have several identification certificates from masters in our store. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

"If it's an authentic work, I think I will. However, it can't be at this price, because if this painting is like what your young man just introduced, I don't think it can wait until I come to see it."

Zola smiled, and arranged for the clerk to carefully remove the painting, and called Wu Di to the VIP room in the store.

The painting is 99 centimeters long and 76 centimeters wide, the same size as Van Gogh's most famous painting of sunflowers.Wu Di didn't appreciate the painting method of oil painting, but he felt that this painting was different. When he saw this painting for the first time, he felt that the dying sunflower on the painting seemed to be telling him something.But upon closer inspection, there was no difference.It can be seen that this painting is definitely a casual work of the artist, and the psychology of painting at that time was full of anxiety and urgency, so that some places were even a little scribbled, but why did he feel that way at first glance?

Wu Di put on the white gloves given to him by the clerk, gently lifted the picture frame, and observed the layout of the picture along the horizontal plane.After looking at the plane, he put the picture frame flat, stretched out his left index finger, and gently pressed it on the lower left side of the picture.

In an instant, a gust of icy and bone-chilling breath rushed into his body crazily along his index finger pressed on the screen like a flood that burst a bank!

Just as Wu Di felt a biting cold aura that almost froze his left hand, a more powerful and cool aura launched a powerful counterattack in his body.The two breaths collided silently and invisible violently in Wu Di's palm, causing him to lose control of his hand, and he was thrown into the air, almost hitting Song Ying who was standing beside him.

As soon as the fingers left the screen, the two breaths dissipated immediately, and Wu Di also regained control of his left hand. He was horrified and inexplicably reading the hints from the heavenly scriptures, while thinking about how to explain his actions just now.

"Netherlands, Vincent van Gogh, withering, aka Deathflower. Rare."

In the blink of an eye, Wu Di had already thought of a solution that was not a solution. With the momentum of raising his arm, he commanded his left hand to draw a semicircle in the air, landed on Song Ying's smooth long hair, and gently stroked it. , laughed:

"I feel the power of this painting! I'm sorry, I'm a little excited. Boss, how much is this painting?"

Whether it is the icy aura contained in the painting or the treasures shown in the heavenly scriptures, Wu Di has the idea that it is inevitable.After purchasing Lanmeng Jewelry, he did not return the money he had with him to Zhongqi, so now he still has more than 6000 million RMB, which should be enough to buy this painting.

Zola touched the place Wu Di touched just now in a strange way. She didn't seem to have any special feeling. What the hell is this young man doing?Regardless of him, just want to buy this painting. The painting has been hanging for more than a month. Everyone who is interested turns around and leaves after hearing the quotation. Woolen cloth?

"600 million euros! Sir, Van Gogh's painting is only quoted at 600 million, which is really cheap!"

"If it was Van Gogh's graffiti when he was a child, tens of thousands of euros might be ignored. The price of Van Gogh's paintings is high, but the most expensive "Doctor Gachet" is only more than 8000 million U.S. dollars? That painting is recognized as a masterpiece! "

"That's why this one is so cheap, sir, it's only more than 1000 million euros, less than 2000 million US dollars! You can't buy an authentic Van Gogh anywhere!"

"I think 100 million euros is enough to represent the value of this painting, and it still depends on such a large scale."

The boss swallowed his saliva with difficulty. This price is not far from the expert's estimate, but he will never sell the painting at this price. If no one offers a suitable price, he would rather wait forever, anyway, he has no shortage of paintings. This one million.

"No, no, sir, you are not sincere. My final price is 500 million euros. If sir cannot agree, please look at other paintings."

"800 million, I think I have expressed enough sincerity. And boss, I will only collect this painting and will not sell it, so I paid this price."

After some bargaining, the two parties finally settled the deal at 160 million yuan, and Zola also presented three masterpieces by emerging Chinese painters.Song Ying, as a translator, has changed from surprise to numbness. Millions of euros are added and subtracted randomly in the mouths of these people, which seems to be no different from a few pieces of waste paper.At this moment, she deeply felt the sorrow of the poor. Even if the numbers in these people's mouths were just a fraction, it was enough to cure her father's illness and let their family live a worry-free and happy life.

Holding the big paper tube containing the paintings, Wu Di left the gallery. He was not in the mood to go shopping anymore. He wanted to go back to the hotel immediately and study carefully what was going on.It can be appraised as a treasure by Tianshu together with Tang Bohu's "The Picture of Sending off Friends in the Cold River", this painting must have its special features!Especially the biting cold breath was different from what Wu Di felt from other treasures.The flower of death seems to really have a smell of death!

In the room, Song Ying accompanied Wu Di to look at the paintings, and lost interest in a moment. In her eyes, these impressionist paintings are really not worth admiring. How could he be so focused and serious?

Song Ying stood up and took a sip of water. Seeing that Wu Di still hadn't moved, she secretly cheered herself up, sat down next to Wu Di, and carefully leaned her body against Wu Di's.Wu Di was thinking, such a painting could not be called a high-quality work in any case, it might not even be as good as a student of the oil painting academy, but why did Tianshu have such a high evaluation?Could it be that there is something hidden in the painting that I haven't seen?

A faint fragrance suddenly came from the end of his nose, and a soft and elastic body leaned over, the bulge on his chest gently pressed against his upper arm, making his heart tremble.Turning around to see Song Ying with blurred eyes, Wu Di smiled, helped her straighten her body, and said:

"You don't have to stay with me, just go to sleep for a while when you're sleepy, and go out for a walk after dinner later!"

Song Ying stomped her feet angrily, and ran to the back room to lie down on the bed in anger.

"You idiot! No wonder you don't have a girlfriend yet!"

She caressed her hot cheeks and suddenly woke up,

"Song Ying, what's wrong with you? He is a person who wants to take away your virginity with money, how can you..."

Song Ying's heart was full of entanglements, and she struggled repeatedly on the bed.

Wu Di's heart was also full of entanglements. He remembered the feeling when he touched the screen in the gallery, and hesitated whether to use the heavenly book to try again.After a simple struggle, he made up his mind, no matter what, he must see the true face of the flower of death today!
