Chapter 425 "Sunset"

Meng Dongyue, who had been standing by the side, saw the new painting and subconsciously took a step forward.

Shi Jin quickly grabbed his arm.

If Shi Jin's movements weren't fast enough, Meng Dongyue's shocked and dazed look would have hit the table directly!
If that was the case, the new paintings on the table would have to be destroyed!

Chu Ying glanced at Shi Jin appreciatively.

With the bold Meng Dongyue as a foil, when he looked at Shi Jin now, it became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Feeling the encouragement in Chu Yinglue's eyes, Shi Jin lifted his spirits and pulled Meng Dongyue even tighter.

Meng Dongyue: "..."

He has really calmed down now, okay?
Do you need to hold him so tightly like a prisoner?
Facing Meng Dongyue's accusing eyes, Shi Jin remained unmoved.

At a time like this, how could he have the mood to care about whether he was a child or not? Of course, the attitude of his future father-in-law came first!
Meng Dongyue sighed in his heart, ignoring Shi Jin's grip on his hand, trying to make himself smile: "Master, why does this painting look so familiar to me?"

Chu Yinglue couldn't care about Meng Dongyue anymore, he was concentrating on looking at the painting in front of him, his eyes were full of amazement.

Just now Chu Ning directly tore the painting with such a violent method, but it didn't damage the hidden painting at all. After the painting was rediscovered, it still looked like new, and it was obviously well preserved.

Chu Ning put the torn maple leaf oil painting aside, and answered Meng Dongyue's words for her father: "Of course it looks familiar. This is a world-famous painting. Brother Meng, haven't you recognized it yet?"

world masterpiece?

Meng Dongyue frowned.

There are not a few world-famous oil paintings, but the one in front of them uses blue, yellow and red as the main colors, dividing the scenery into two parts: the sky and the water surface.

At the intersection of sky and water, there is an isolated island with a towering castle, which makes the color of the whole painting more stunning and moving, with a thrilling beauty of burning flames.

Such a familiar color... Meng Dongyue's mind flashed, and he blurted out: "Isn't this "Sunset"?!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yinglue finally felt a little satisfied with his apprentice who made mistakes repeatedly, and nodded in relief.

In other words, Meng Dongyue was right!
There was a flash of understanding in his eyes, but he was more shocked.

Shi Jin quietly asked Chu Ning, "What is "Sunset"?"

Chu Ning explained: ""Sunset" is one of the representative works of the famous French writer Monet. Monet was a figure a hundred years ago, and he is also a representative figure and one of the founders of Impressionist oil painters."

In 1873, Monet sketched in the port of Havre and painted this "Sunset".Compared with this oil painting, "Sunrise. Impression" painted by him at the same location is more famous.

The oil paintings of the Impressionist school really began to become famous, and it was also from this "Sunrise. Impression" that it started.

Under the brilliance of "Sunrise. Impression", many people almost forgot the other "Sunset".

But in fact, this "Sunset" is also a masterpiece and can be called a national treasure.

Shi Jin nodded half-understood.

This is the same value as Qi Baishi's shrimp picture, right?

"Impossible! How could this be "Sunset"?!" Meng Dongyue suddenly came back to his senses, shaking his head in disbelief, "The whole world knows that Monet's "Sunset" is collected in Marmont, Paris, France How could there be another "Sunset" here?!"

Chu Ning blinked, but said nothing.

Chu Yinglue sighed: "Since there are two sunsets, one of them is fake."

Meng Dongyue opened his mouth, but was suddenly speechless.

After all, hearing what his master said, he obviously didn't think the "Sunset" in front of them was fake.

That is to say, the "Sunset" in the Mamunda Museum is a fake?

But how is this possible? !

"Sunset" has been exhibited in the Mamunda Museum for so many years, and so many people from all over the world have visited it.If the painting was really fake, wouldn't one of these people see it? !

But if he wanted to refute his master's words, Meng Dongyue didn't know where to refute.

Chu Yinglue pondered: "I'm not very good at oil painting, and I can't tell if this "Sunset" is real or not. However, a painting that can be hidden in such a subtle way is obviously not an ordinary painting. Chu Chu, you carefully put away this painting first. After returning to China, I will find someone to help you identify it."

Of course Chu Ning can be sure that this painting "Sunset" is genuine.

Because, the spiritual power contained in this "Sunset" is like a small lake, so rich that she can't ignore it at all.

However, she couldn't say anything about this method of identification, and naturally it couldn't be used as identification evidence.

"Okay!" Chu Ning agreed, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely keep this painting well!"

Of course Chu Yinglue was relieved of his daughter, but this painting was so important that he couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Just now you unraveled the painting, will it affect this painting?" Chu Yinglue couldn't help asking, "Or, let's find a place to restore this painting and frame it by the way?"

Chu Ning didn't agree or object, but just asked, "Dad, are you sure, can we find a trustworthy store like you mentioned here?"

Chu Yinglue was suddenly speechless.

Of course, they couldn't find such a store in a foreign country.

If they asked any store for help, the news that "Sunset" was in their hands would definitely leak out, and it was unknown how many people would attract attention and debate.

After all, tomorrow is the day when Sotheby's auction starts, and this New York does not know how many people from all over the world who are interested in antiques have gathered.

By that time, they might not be able to safely bring the painting back to China.

Chu Ning comforted: "Don't worry, Dad, I won't mess around. This painting is definitely safer in my hands than anywhere else."

With spiritual power to protect the painting, even if this "Sunset" is never mounted, it will not be damaged in any way.

Of course, that would consume too much spiritual power, and Chu Ning would not do such thankless things.

However, if it is just spending some spiritual power to protect the painting during these few days in New York, there will be no problem.

After Chu Yinglue and the others left, Chu Ning took the oil painting of maple leaves and put it on top of "Sunset".

She even used spiritual power to glue the two paintings together again, and restored the maple leaf oil painting to its previous appearance.

Such a seamless treatment makes it impossible to imagine that Chu Ning just divided the painting into two.
