Treasure Hunt all over the World

The geometric abstract painting that Ye Tian pointed to is very simple and clear at a glance!

On a canvas measuring 1.2 meters high and about 1.5 meters wide, there are only square and rectangular grids of different sizes, as well as lines of uneven thickness and blocks of red, yellow, and blue primary colors.

At first glance, many people don't understand what the artist who created this painting wants to express and the content seems very empty, just graffiti.

However, if you can calm down and savor this painting carefully, you can experience a brisk rhythm from it, and even feel that this abstract painting is like a piece of moving music.

Edmundo turned his head to look at this geometric abstract painting, and then said excitedly:

"This painting was collected at a local flea market when I was on vacation in Venice. I think this painting has a taste of Mondrian, the master of abstraction, so I bought it.

After bringing this painting back to Milan, I asked someone to appraise it, but unfortunately, this is not Mondrian's work. On the back of this painting, we found the creator's name.

That was the name of a French painter in the first half of the last century. He lived in the same era as the master artist Mondrian. He was unknown and has not many works handed down. This is one of them.

It is inferred from this that this is likely to be a study by the painter imitating the master Mondrian. The level of imitation is not bad, nothing more. I set a price of 3,500 euros for this painting."

After listening to Edmundo's introduction, Ye Tian pretended to think for a while, then smiled and said:

"3,500 euros, okay, deal, Edmundo, I want this geometric abstract painting"

With that, he stretched out his right hand to Edmundo.

Edmundo looked at the painting on the wall suspiciously again, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet before shook hands with Ye Tian and concluded the art deal.

"Deal, Steven, after the transaction is completed, I hope you can also explain this abstract painting, lest I get confused."

"No problem, I will meet your requirements"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, a flash of excitement flashed through his eyes.

Next, he made a bank transfer again, then took the painting hanging on the wall and stood on the ground in front of him.

Soon, Edmundo received the payment information, and the art transaction ended.

Afterwards, everyone in this antique shop looked at Ye Tian, ​​expecting him to uncover the doubts for everyone.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then pointed to the head of the **** of fire Hephaestus by his feet, and said with a smile:

"This Vulcan head sculpture was bought first, so let's talk about this sculpture first, and then talk about the geometric abstract painting later. Of course, these are all my family's words and have yet to be verified."

Everyone at the scene nodded together without any objection.

They had no doubts about the appraisal conclusion that Ye Tian was about to give. They were extremely convinced that they believed it must be correct and would not have the slightest deviation. This had been proven countless times in the past.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"I have identified that this Vulcan head sculpture should have been made by the famous sculptor Amannadi in the late Renaissance. It was created around 1570, which was the peak of his creation.

He is a famous sculptor, architect, and representative of Mannerism in the late Renaissance. His most famous sculpture is the group sculpture of the Poseidon Fountain in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence.

It is a pity that this sculpture by Amanati, now only has the head, and there is no signature or mark on the head, which adds a lot of difficulties to identification and certification.

In view of this situation, we can only start from the creative technique and artistic style, and appraise it. On this historic head sculpture, we can see traces of mannerism,..."

Next, Ye Tian began to analyze the detailed features of this portrait to support his identification conclusion.

At this time, Edmundo was completely dumbfounded, stunned and stunned, muttering to himself, a look of despair.

"God! This is actually a sculpture by the master sculptor Amanati, and it was created in the prime of his artistic career. What did I miss? How stupid!"

As a well-qualified antique dealer, Edmundo certainly understands how precious Amannati’s sculptures are. They are top-notch works of art!

Even if there is only one avatar left, the Vulcan avatar handed down by fluke is worth several million dollars, what a huge fortune!

I have worked hard all my life, and it is difficult to make such a huge sum of money, but now I watch this huge amount of wealth pass from my hand and fall into the hands of this guy Steven.

Thinking of this, Edmundo's two eyes were immediately red, and his eyes were full of regret. He wanted to rush out of the store and jump into the Milan Grand Canal just a few steps away!

In fact, as he expected, Ye Tian quickly finished the explanation, and then gave an estimate of the Vulcan portrait.

"Amanati has few sculptures handed down. Almost every piece is a top-notch art of great value. It can be met but not sought. This Vulcan head is no exception.

In the past ten years, there has been no sculpture of Amannati in the antique art market, and there is no auction price for reference. No matter how far away, there will be no reference point!

In this case, I can only give a rough estimate based on my own experience. According to my estimation, the market value of this Vulcan portrait should be at least 6 million euros."

Before the words were over, there was already an exclamation on the scene.

"Wow! About six million euros, it's really an exaggeration, it's just a surviving profile picture, and the value is so amazing"

"This is just a head portrait. If the torso is there and the sculpture is complete, then its price must exceed 30 million euros, and it may even be higher!"

With a cry of exclamation, Edmundo was so distressed that he was about to die. He felt that his heart had been stabbed into a hornet's nest, **** and terrible!

But this is only the beginning, and a more severe blow is yet to come, and one after another.

When the exclamation at the scene fell slightly, Ye Tian immediately pointed to the geometric abstract painting and said with a smile:

"After verifying Amannati's Vulcan head sculpture, let's talk about this geometric abstract painting. I can say with certainty that it is definitely a top-notch artwork of pricelessness.

Based on this judgment, combined with the creative technique and artistic style shown in the painting, the answer is ready to come out. This painting must have been made by Mondrian, a master of geometric abstraction.

Looking at the creative career of the master of abstract art Mondrian and comparing his works from various periods, we can see that this painting is very similar to those of his New York period.

From this we can see that this painting should have been created in Mondrian's later years, which was also the peak of his artistic career. His paintings during this period were very limited.

As for the signature on the back of the painting, it should not be the creator's signature, but the French painter who lived in the same period as Mondrian, hand-signed it to mark the ownership.

It is his inadvertent signature that has misled many people and made people misidentify, thinking that this is not an outstanding work by the artist Mondrian, but an imitation.

How the French painter got this top-level artwork is unknown. Perhaps it was a gift from Mondrian. The two of them might be close friends.

Based on the popularity of Mondrian's paintings in the auction market over the years, combined with the level of the painting itself, I value this painting at around 55 million euros,..."

Before the words were over, the scene was thoroughly fried.

"Oh my God! 55 million euros, such an incomprehensible painting is so expensive, it's a bit too exaggerated!"

"55 million euros, which is infinitely close to the highest transaction price of Mondrian's work. If this painting goes on sale, it might be able to create a new record!"

Looking at Edmundo at this time, his heart had already sunk into the endless abyss, and the regrets were about to faint.

After a while, this guy just woke up.

Immediately after ~www.ltnovel.com~ he stared with blood-red eyes and said in a trembling voice:

"Steven, congratulations, I have harvested two top art works of invaluable value. It seems that I am really eye-catching, and I have too many poor skills. I have nothing to say when I was ransacked by you.

Should you fulfill your promise now? In this antique shop of mine, there are also antique artworks that are of great value but ignored by me. Could you please point out one or two for me"

Ye Tian nodded lightly, then smiled and said:

"Edmundo, you don't have to feel too frustrated. Although I bought two top antique works of art, you still have a few good treasures here, all of which are very valuable.

Among them is an alternative painting from the early stage of Picasso's artistic career. It is quite rare. According to the current art market, I value it at about 5 million euros...."

"Wow! That's great, buddy is rich"

Edmundo cheered directly, like crazy, scared everyone on the scene.
