Treasure Hunt all over the World

Good morning, Mr. Steven, welcome to Portobello Street, welcome to my shop, I’m Brown, and I’m glad to meet you"

The shop owner greeted him and greeted him politely, with a little surprise in his eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Brown, I’m Steven, and I’m also very happy to meet you. This shop looks very nice and has a good atmosphere, so I just came in to visit. I hope you don’t mind."

Ye Tian said with a smile, and shook hands to say hello.

"Of course I don't mind. I open the door to do business and welcome every customer who visits, but my shop only sells modern and modern books, and there are no valuable antique artworks. You may be disappointed!"

Brown nodded and said, with a look of rejoicing in his eyes.

He opened a shop in the Potterbelu Antique Market, and he must have known many antique dealers, and even had a good friendship. He had long been familiar with Ye Tian's name and eyesight, and his cruel methods.

Fortunately, he only manages Ji, so he doesn't have to worry about being ransacked by Ye Tian, ​​so I feel a little grateful that he doesn't have to go to the Thames with regret after this guy is gone!

As for the other people in the Pottery Bell Antique Market, he can't control it anymore. He can only pray for those guys secretly, hoping that they will have good luck and escape today's disaster!

Ye Tian shook his head lightly, jokingly said:

"Not necessarily! Mr. Brown, that watercolor painting looks good, I don't know how you got it? You bought it or a friend gave it to you? I suggest you find someone to appraise the painting!

If I read it correctly, it should be the work of the famous British painter William Turner. To be precise, it is his early work. You can compare his painting "Caernarfon Castle" in 1799.

This painting is earlier than "Castle of Caernarfon". It is estimated to be the work of William Turner when he was a teenager. There is still some similarity between the two paintings, although it is not obvious! "

After speaking, Ye Tian pointed to a landscape painting hanging on the right wall of the shop.

It was a watercolor landscape with a romantic tendency. It was a scene of the outskirts of London in the eighteenth century. The painting technique was a little immature, but there was a shadow of a master.

As soon as he walked into this store, Ye Tian raised his eyes and saw the painting and came to an extremely accurate conclusion.

The reason why this painting is so eye-catching is not because of its great artistic value and market value, but because this shop only has such an antique artwork!

The red light emitted by it and the charming halo is completely different from other items in the store, very eye-catching!

Of course, this is in Ye Tian's eyes! In the eyes of others, this painting is no different from those books and furniture.

Although this is a painting by the artist William Turner, it is only a work when he was a teenager. The style of painting is immature, and it is a watercolor painting and its value is not as high as that.

More importantly, the painting is hung in a store.

Even if Ye Tian likes this watercolor painting and wants to put it in his pocket, there is no possibility of it!

As long as he opens his mouth and offers to buy this painting, Brown will instantly understand that this watercolor is by no means an ordinary painting, it is likely to be a valuable artwork.

Ye Tian wants to get this painting unless he uses some unglamorous means that he himself disdains, such as deception or theft!

For him, there is no need at all, and the value of this painting is not so great that he will not hesitate to abandon his principles and do whatever it takes.

"William Turner's watercolor painting? How could it be possible? This is just a painting I bought at the Porte Bellow market for 15 pounds!"

Brown turned his head and looked at the watercolor painting, muttering to himself that he was completely stupid.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then led Betty to a row of shelves next to him, ready to see the books displayed there, although they had no desire to buy.

During the march, Ye Tian also whispered to Betty and the others, a famous British painter William Turner.

"William Turner is a famous British romantic landscape painter, watercolorist and printmaker, and one of the most famous and skilled artists in the UK.

He is the representative of the British academic painters in the first half of the nineteenth century. He is well known for his good at depicting the subtle relationship between light and air, and he is especially good at depicting scenes filled with moisture.

In the history of Western art, William Turner is one of the most outstanding landscape painters. His special contribution is to place landscape paintings in equal importance with historical paintings and portrait paintings.

William Turner began to learn painting as a teenager. When he was fifteen years old, his watercolor landscape paintings participated in public exhibitions, and he had a certain fame, and he was a model of young fame! "

While they were talking, Ye Tian and the others had come to the shelf and began to appreciate the books displayed on the shelf.

As soon as they stood still, Brown hurried over, his face full of surprise.

When he got closer, he immediately asked in a low voice excitedly:

"Excuse me, Mr. Steven, can I ask the market value of that watercolor? I'm a layman when it comes to appraising works of art, and I don't know anything about it!

You are the top expert on antique art appraisal, with a sharp vision and very accurate appraisal, so I would like to ask you to appraise it. This is very important to me! "

Ye Tian turned to look at this buddy, then at the painting by William Turner, then smiled and nodded and said:

"No problem, it's just a matter of effort, but I also want to make a request. I can help you identify it, but you have to keep secret for the time being I discovered this painting!

You must have guessed the reason. We will continue to visit the Port Bello antique market. I don’t want to be treated as a scourge by all the antique dealers in the market and be careful!

After today, when we leave the Porte Bellou Antique Market, you can announce the news, or take this painting to appraisal or send it to the auction house! "

Hearing these words, Brown immediately took a deep look at Ye Tian!

That's it! The Pottery Bell Antique Market must not escape the fate of being looted madly today. When sunset today, God knows how many antique dealers will cry to death in the toilet!

There must be friends who I know, and I can only hope that God will bless them, don't become the target of being looted, and become another dead soul of this guy Steven!

"No problem, Mr. Steven, I will keep it secret for the time being. I will not announce the discovery of this painting until sunset today, when you leave the Porte Belle Antique Market!"

Brown nodded slightly and said, his voice was low, lest the other guests in the store would hear it.

Ye Tian glanced at the painting again, then smiled and gave the answer.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Brown. According to my judgment, this watercolor painting by William Turner should be his work between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. At that time, William Turner was just a fledgling.

At that time, William Turner's style of painting had not yet formed, but it was just beginning to be romantic, and it was just a watercolor painting whose value could not be compared with his landscape oil paintings.

In view of this, although this is a masterpiece, the value of this painting is not as high as that. According to the current market conditions, this watercolor painting should be worth about 100,000 Euros! "

"Wow! One hundred thousand euros! I am very satisfied. An ordinary painting of fifteen pounds has turned into a work of art worth one hundred thousand euros in an instant. This is like a dream, it is too unreal!

I ran a shop and sold the most expensive set of limited edition licenses. It was only worth five thousand pounds. One hundred thousand euros is really a windfall for me. I didn't even think about it before! "

Brown exclaimed in a low voice, eyes full of ecstasy.

Fortunately, this buddy's ability to control emotions is pretty good, and he didn't show too much excitement, otherwise he would be in trouble!

You know ~www.ltnovel.com~ there are still a few customers in the store, and they are looking here with good eyes.

If you let them know that Ye Tian found a William Turner painting as soon as he entered the store and spread the news quickly, then Ye Tian would not want to buy any antique art today!

Of course, this does not hinder his plan to ransack the antique market of Potter Bellow frantically, but the person who sweeps the goods can only be Bowie who has already entered the market!

Next, Ye Tian explained in a low voice the watercolor painting and the similarities between the watercolor painting and William Turner's other work "Caernarfon Castle".

The similarities he pointed out are the best basis for identifying the watercolor landscape in front of him!

Hearing his explanation, Brown was like a treasure. He kept his words firmly in mind, and the joy in his eyes became more and more intense, almost overflowing!

After Ye Tian finished his explanation, this buddy left immediately, took off the painting and went directly back to the office at the back, not even taking care of the business in the front shop! Songyu Literature Free Reading
