God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1433

This is a large horizontal scroll painting with a large size and very good workmanship. It is an ink and color paper painting. There are some insect holes and water marks on the painting, and there are also traces of repairs. It looks a bit broken, but the overall picture scroll is relatively good. It is complete, and there is no defect in the picture. If you can find a master who restores ancient paintings to restore it, the quality will be improved.

The content of this painting is a typical landscape figure painting, or simply landscape painting.

The picture is dominated by large expanses of mountains and rivers. The mountains are not very tall and majestic, but they are very delicate. The trees and rocks are dense and dense, which looks very natural.

The characters in the picture are a master and a servant climbing up along the mountain path. The master holds a bamboo stick in his hand, and the servant carries a small burden on his shoulders. Their expressions and postures are different, but they are very vivid. With a few strokes, the two characters The image and characteristics of it are outlined.

As for the color setting, it is even more outstanding. It is inconspicuous at first glance, but the tones between the brush and ink can only be found when you look closely. Most of the tones are very light, and they are also mainly natural and harmonious. There is no trace of tinting.

But it is this kind of color matching in shades that makes the picture of this painting more realistic.

The painting technique is very clever, there are not many brush strokes, the point strokes are very skillful, and there are few large areas of thick ink, but each piece plays a good role as a foil, or to expand the space, or to divide the layers, or to point out the yin and yang. All very ingenious.

In addition, there are many changes in the brushwork in this painting, which looks very complicated in the eyes of experts, and many characteristics of great painters can be found in it, but in this painting, they are completely integrated.

This kind of skillful control of skills is definitely not the handwriting of ordinary painters.

After Xu Jingxing briefly glanced at the screen, he looked directly at the inscription, signature, and seal.

After seeing it clearly, the whole person took a breath.

It turned out to be this calligraphy treasure.

Signed "Da Di Zi A Chang", "Search all the strange peaks and make drafts" in six-character seal script in white, and "Jingjiang Descendants" in four-character seal script in white.

These are all well-known existences, and anyone who has some knowledge of the history of Chinese painting will not be ignorant of these elements.

Shi Tao.

This is a figure that cannot be avoided in the history of Chinese painting, and the level of painting and calligraphy can be ranked first in the entire history of China.

Xu Haofeng has several works by Shi Tao in his hand, but most of them are of average quality and small in size.

But this one is different, it is Shi Tao's best color landscape painting, and judging from the technique, it is still a work in the middle and late years of the painter who has already matured. The size is still so large, it may be worth a lot of money in the market.

According to his estimate, it can be sold for 500 million without a premium.

Well, 500 million is not a lot of money to him now, but it is already a first-class price in the antique shop. Tens of millions are the top-notch good things, and there are not many pieces in the whole world.

It is already a great thing to sell for 500 million without a premium.

What's more, for Xu Jingxing, how much he can sell is second, whether he likes it or not is the key.

He liked this painting very much.

Not only because this painting is worth some money, but also because the style, interest and technique of this painting are all to his liking, so he can't help but have the idea of ​​collecting it.

How should I put that feeling, like walking on the side of the road and suddenly seeing a woman that made his heart flutter, that woman may not be the most beautiful, nor the temperament is the most noble, but there is a kind of feeling that makes people want to get close impulse.

Well, that's what it feels like.

As for the authenticity of the painting?

This kind of thing is not within the scope of his consideration at all, if it is fake, he will not open it at all. Nowadays, his six senses are getting stronger and stronger, and he can distinguish fakes from fakes without using his hands. too easy.

It's just that this painting was sent by Xu Zhongheng.

He didn't really want it, because strictly speaking, the value of this painting was more than that of the jade pendant he gave away, because Shi Tao's paintings were rare, and each of them was a top-quality ancient painting that could not be reproduced.

And the jade pendants he made, although the value is very high, but it is foreseeable that there will be more and more stocks. After all, he can live for many years. number.

So he really couldn't accept the painting with peace of mind.

Especially considering the significance of this painting to Xu Zhongheng, he didn't want it even more.

This painting is really nothing to the present. He does not know how many top-quality antiques that can be compared with this painting in his warehouse. One more is not too much, and one less is not too little.

But for Xu Zhongheng, it is different. Xu Zhongheng can only be regarded as a little bit of money. Although he is happy to open this calligraphy and painting shop, it is conceivable that there will not be too many ancient paintings of this level, and it is likely to be like this One thing, after all, such good things are really rare.

So he pondered whether to return the painting to Xu Zhongheng.

At this moment, An Xin slipped in and saw the scroll in Xu Jingxing's hand, her eyes lit up, "Master, is it true or not?"

"Of course it's true," Xu Jingxing said angrily, "Don't you know who Boss Xu is? How could you send me a fake?"

"Hee hee, isn't this because Boss Xu himself doesn't know about it?" An Xin leaned in front of the painting and tilted her head to look at it: "Master, this painting is really Shi Tao's?"

"Eh, you can even recognize this?" Xu Jingxing was a little surprised.

An Xin put her hands behind her back, raised her small head and said proudly: "Master, do you know what it means to be impressed by a scholar for three days?"

Xu Jingxing smiled and said, "I didn't know it before, but now I know it. You are worthy of being my Xu Jingxing's apprentice. It's okay."

This is really not a blind compliment, but a sincere compliment.

Why do you say that?Is it difficult to recognize Shi Tao's works?

It's really difficult.

You must know that the inscriptions left by the ancients in their paintings generally do not leave their real names, but their "brand names" and "seals".

But Shi Tao's name and seal are relatively unpopular, and it's hard to memorize all of them because they don't specialize in these. Even Xu Jingxing only wrote down Shi Tao's name and seal later.

But An Xin is a rookie who has been learning with him for only three years. During these three years, most of the time he learned was sculpture, and he didn't have much homework in painting. It involves the appreciation of famous works.

Therefore, An Xin should be a pure layman when it comes to appreciating famous calligraphy and paintings.

But now, this pure layman knows that it is Shi Tao's work just at a glance. Even if he is not sure whether it is real, but he can recognize Shi Tao's signature and seal, which is quite good.

Hearing his praise, An Xin smiled even more happily, "Master, can you tell me about this painting?"

Xu Jingxing was even more surprised when he heard this request, and looked up and down at the little girl who seemed to have grown up in front of him, "Have you taught yourself this?"

An Xin nodded embarrassingly: "I tried it when I was bored, and I fell in love with painting."

This apprentice...

Xu Jingxing didn't even know what to say.

He naturally has plans in this regard, but what he wants is to let An Xin get in touch with these more complicated things after she has fully started. After all, the little girl has no foundation before, and everything has to be started from scratch. It is not suitable for learning too much at once. s things.

According to his idea, it is best to start with woodcarving with peace of mind. While learning the craft, you can also lay a solid foundation. After all, calligraphy and painting are also used in woodcarving. Although most of them are basic content, after a long time, this foundation will be subtly affected It's solid.

Coupled with the traditional cultural homework he assigned to An Xin, An Xin could lay a firmer foundation.

After that, let An Xin learn more advanced and complex content, which is a matter of course.

Unexpectedly, An Xin was able to learn painting in addition to completing her own work and homework, and it seemed that she had learned a lot, which was so rare for his wife.

Thinking of this, he patted An Xin's head: "What have you learned?"

"Yeah, I didn't learn much, I just learned some basic skills from the videos on the Internet, such as brush strokes, but I watched a lot of theoretical stuff, but I didn't quite understand it..." An Xin said embarrassedly.

And Xu Jingxing didn't know what to say.

Self-study from online videos?Also learned some chapping brushes?Have read a lot of theoretical knowledge?

Should it be said that this girl is extremely talented, or should it be said that this girl does not know the heights of the sky and the earth?
Calligraphy and painting seem simple, but without a good master to teach them, it is difficult to get started.

Why do you say that?
Be it calligraphy or painting, there are too many genres. I don’t know how many genres have been passed down from ancient times to the present. Even many professionals can’t figure out all the ways. Concentrating on the study of a school also has the opportunity to become a self-study.

But what I am most afraid of is the kind of people who look good at this and look good at that, and want to try it, try it again and again, and try it and it will turn out to be different.

This is not an exaggeration at all, because these theoretical things are too complicated, and they all look very correct. There have been some master-level figures on each path, and it seems that every path is feasible, but these theoretical knowledge Many things in it are completely opposite. If you believe everything, it is tantamount to suicide.

It's fine if it's an ordinary person learning to play. Anyway, he can't learn anything, so he can just learn by himself.

But An Xin is already a half-professional, and she will definitely have to learn more advanced content in the future. Now that she is learning these things by herself without the guidance of her master Xu Jingxing, it is very likely that she will "bad" herself.

So Xu Jingxing was really a little flustered, he finally met such a good apprentice who could hardly find any faults, it would be a pity if he just ruined it like this.
