Picking up leaks in live broadcast: There are treasures everywhere in my eyes

After Rubens' "Veneration of the Virgin", Xiao Ran opened four or five picture frames tightly wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin, as well as several heavy crates.

Paintings and prints from the late eighteenth century and beautiful sculptures follow.

Among them are mainly Baroque and Rococo works, as well as several antique works of art in the classicist style.

Without exception, these antique works of art are all by famous artists, and each one is worth a lot.

Their discovery caused a constant burst of exclamations in front of the exploration site and countless live streams, which excited everyone.

Of course, it also made countless people's eyes red with envy and jealousy.

Especially those who coveted Napoleon's treasures, all of them were red and bleeding.

But they couldn't do anything but watch and watch.

Exploring the heavily armed and high-security security personnel and military police in and around the scene is enough to dispel all their wishes.

Those gangsters from Eastern Europe who have just been swept up by the police are even more bloody.

The fate of those guys reminds every guy with evil intentions that if he dares to act rashly, there is only one way to die.

While speaking, Xiao Ran used a crowbar to pry open a heavy crate.

What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a beautiful bronze statue.

On the surface of this bronze statue, a layer of bronze rust is attached, which does not hide the shape and beauty of the statue.

The moment they saw this bronze statue, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Pierre and Henri suddenly said in unison:

"Wow! This is the statue of Julius Caesar, and the carving is very vivid and expressive, it is a masterpiece at a glance

" Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then said:

"Yes, this is indeed the founder of the Roman Empire, the bronze statue of Julius Caesar

" "Judging from the artistic style, this bronze statue is Baroque, obviously from the seventeenth century"

At the same time as he introduced it, everyone was admiring this bronze statue.

The statue of Caesar dressed in armor and cloak, holding a short sword, and gazing ahead, deliberately highlights the image of Caesar's outstanding military commander.

Although this statue of Julius Caesar did not move much, just stood and stared into the distance.

But the cloak fluttering in the wind behind him, the angular, explosive muscle lines, and the resolute gaze and expression give people a strong sense of movement.

This makes the whole sculpture dramatic and vivid, as if there is real life.

In addition, on this bronze sculpture, you can also see a bit of classicism.

Facing this bronze statue, everyone at the scene was quickly attracted and admired in fascination.

Many people on the ground and on the live broadcast were also attracted by this beautiful sculpture full of movement.

After a moment, Henry suddenly asked curiously:

"Sean, Pierre, which master sculptor do you think this bronze statue of Julius Caesar is the work?"

"In the Western world, there are countless bronze statues of Julius Caesar, and for a moment, I really can't remember the information about this statue"

The reason why he asked Xiao Ran and Pierre was simple.

Xiao Ran is the highest level of appraisal and the sharpest vision here, and has never missed a single antique art and gold and silver treasure.

As for Pierre, he is originally from the Louvre and is one of the leading experts in the art of engraving in France.

Hearing the question, Xiao Ran and Pierre immediately looked at each other, smiled and nodded in unison.

The next moment, they said in unison:

"This bronze statue of Julius Caesar should be from the hand of Bernini, the greatest master of art of the seventeenth century, the most outstanding representative of Baroque art, and the famous Italian sculptor"

The words fell, and Xiao Ran and Pierre immediately looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing this scene, Elaine and Caroline, who were staying in the hall on the first floor, also chuckled.

As for the others, they were shocked by this identification conclusion and were extremely excited.

In the history of Western art, from the Renaissance to the modern era

, Bernini is the top sculptor after Michelangelo, and the modern Rodin is even higher in artistic status.

The bronze sculpture of Julius Caesar by Bernini has its artistic value and market value.

That's why people are so excited to know that this is a sculpture by Bernini.

The next moment, Lawrence suddenly asked curiously:

"Sean, Pierre, before you saw the signature left by the author, how did you judge that this bronze statue of Julius Caesar is the work of the Baroque sculptor Bernini?" Can you tell us about it? Hearing

this, Pierre immediately looked over to Xiao Ran and raised his hand to gesture a gesture of invitation.

"As for how to determine that this bronze statue of Julius Caesar is Bernini's work, let Sean introduce the situation to everyone

" Xiao Ran did not hesitate, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Then I will tell you, I judge that this is the basis for the work of the Baroque sculpture master Bernini

" "First of all, the strong dramatic color of this bronze sculpture, as well as the ubiquitous, lifelike movement"

"In the seventeenth century, when Baroque art was prevalent, looking at the entire Western art world, no one did these two aspects better than

Bernini" "There is also the classicism of this bronze statue, which is not a classicist style born in France, but a classicist color from the Hellenistic period, more idealized,......"

Next, Xiao Ran pointed out several artistic characteristics unique to Bernini's sculpture.

It was these distinctive features of his personal style that allowed them to make an accurate judgment that this was a sculpture by Bernini.

At the same time as Xiao Ran's introduction, Pierre, who was standing on the side, nodded frequently, his eyes were full of appreciation, and there was a little shock, even jealousy.

He studied the art of Western sculpture for decades to see that this was Bernini's outstanding work.

How old is Xiao Ran? How long has it been since you were exposed to antique art collections?

But he sees more and more thoroughly than he does, can he not be jealous of it?

With Xiao Ran's introduction, everyone knew more and more about this bronze statue of Julius Caesar, and there was no doubt about the origin of this sculpture.

When Xiao Ran finished his introduction, Lawrence said with emotion:

"Sean, you guy is really scary, now I completely believe it, there is really no antique art in this world that you don't know!"

"There is no doubt that this bronze statue of Julius Caesar by Bernini is definitely a top antique work of art with amazing

value" "Here, I also want to gossip, if you value this bronze sculpture, what kind of valuation will you give?" I believe everyone wants to know

" Xiao Ran looked at this bronze statue of Julius Caesar, thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Every sculpture of Bernini is priceless, and this bronze statue of Julius Caesar is the same, it is a top antique work of art

" "If such a priceless treasure appears in the auction market, it will definitely attract the crazy pursuit of countless collectors, and it is easy to auction at sky-high prices""

According to what I know about the current art market, if this bronze statue were on the market, it would never have been auctioned for less than $160 million,"

and with this staggering valuation, there was an uproar in countless places both live and live.

Everyone, including Lawrence, was stunned by this valuation.

Xiao Ran continued to admire this bronze statue of Caesar with amazing value.

When everyone's mood calmed down a little, with Pierre's cooperation, Xiao Ran took the bronze statue out of the box and placed it on the ground next to it.

Afterwards, everyone gathered around the bronze statue of Julius Caesar to admire it again.

Moments later, on the back of this bronze statue of Julius Caesar, Pierre found Bernini's author's signature, as well as the coat of arms of the Habsburg Lorraine family.

At this point, there is no doubt about the origin of this bronze statue of Julius Caesar.
