Chapter 420
In everyone's exclamation, Xiao Ran finally completely unveiled the top canvas, that is, "Yale University Autumn Landscape"
appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which is a famous impressionist masterpiece.
Master of Impressionist art and famous French painter, Edgar. The reason why Degas's "Ballet Classroom"
is so sure that this is the work of the master Degas is simple.
Because this is Degas's best subject matter, among all the Impressionists, no painter painted a ballerina better than Degas.
Another point is that a painting that has been so carefully hidden cannot be a fake.
Underneath this Impressionist masterpiece, there seem to be two more canvases, but I don't know what kind of painting and which master artist it is.
Although everyone has discovered this, they have no time to take care of it for the time being.
Without exception, the attention of everyone at the scene was firmly attracted by Degas's "Ballet Classroom", and they could not be moved away.
This painting depicts a nineteenth-century ballet studio in Paris, France, where ballet dancers rehearse.
There are more than a dozen ballerina, all wearing white dancing shoes and ballet dresses, rehearsing inside the teacher.
They dance, press their legs on the pole, or pity themselves in front of the mirror.
Or sit on a stool and rest on the floor, or listen carefully to the teacher's teachings.
Although there are many characters in the painting, no two people move the same, everyone is lifelike, and the whole picture is extremely vivid.
When admiring this painting, the viewer standing outside the painting will have a feeling of immersion.
It's like standing in front of the door of this ballet studio in the painting, watching the many ballerinas dancing in the classroom.
Those ballerinas are like dexterous and beautiful white swans, spinning in circles on the floor.
Not only that, but everyone seems to hear bursts of laughter, whispers, and the sound of the dance teacher's scolding.
In this painting, the artist captures the instant movements of each dancer with incomparable painting skills.
A 19th-century ballet studio in Paris is presented in its entirety.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was deeply attracted by this painting and admired it intoxicatedly.
Even Brian, temporarily forgetting the pain, his eyes shining and admiring
this "Ballet Classroom" for a long time, Xiao Ran was the first to wake up, and then said with a smile:
"Everyone can wake up, there is no doubt that this is the impressionist master Degas's masterpiece "Ballet Classroom", a top work of art
" "I just don't know, this "Ballet Classroom" is one of Degas's paintings of the same name?"
"And why are you here? Why is it hidden
" "It was an unexpected surprise to find a painting of Degas's "Ballet Classroom" here"
With his words, everyone at the scene sobered up.
The next moment, the antique shop was instantly boiling.
"Oh my God! Who would have thought that behind "Yale University Autumn Landscape", there was a picture of Degas's "Ballet Classroom", which is incredible!
"Wow! This "Ballet Classroom" is so wonderful and beautiful, no worse than the painting of the same name in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum"
Just when everyone exclaimed, Elaine had approached the painting, admired it carefully, and her eyes shone with excitement.
In the blink of an eye, she had already discovered something, and then said excitedly:
"My dear, this is indeed the "Ballet Classroom" by the master Degas, and it is one of the several paintings he personally brought to the United States in 1872
" "At that time, Degas's favorite subject was ballet dancers, and he created many paintings with ballet dancers as the protagonists, and it is also his most famous masterpiece
" "About this "Ballet Classroom", In Degas's personal biography, it is mentioned in the "Biography of Degas", and it can also be found in the relevant documents:
"The sketch of this painting is collected in the Musée d'Orsay, and in the lower right corner of this painting, there is Degas's personal signature"
said, Elaine pointed to the lower right corner of the painting.
Following the direction of her finger, everyone saw Degas's personal signature at a glance.
Listening to her introduction, coupled with the artist's signature, everyone no longer had the slightest doubt about the authenticity of this "Ballet Classroom".
This was followed by another exclamation of excitement.
Looking at this guy Brian again, his eyes were round, staring at this oil painting.
His eyes were already blood-red, full of pain, and his heart was dying.
At the same time, Elaine's professional performance also shocked him.
At this point, he understood.
How stupid is his previous unfounded contempt!
The pair of young lovers in front of them, with an extremely sharp eye and bad luck, can always find all kinds of treasures!
The other is familiar with it since childhood, with very deep artistic literacy and various artistic expertise.
Such two people walk together, no wonder there is no disadvantage!
Before Brian could slow down, an old friend of his suddenly asked:
"Sean, since this is the masterpiece of the master Degas, "Ballet Classroom", it must be a top work of art
" "Can you assess the value of this painting, how much is this painting worth?" Everyone dared to be interested"
Before the words fell, everyone had already looked at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran did not give an answer immediately, but thought for a moment.
After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said:
"The Ballet Dancer series of paintings is the most famous masterpiece of the art master Degas, and it is also the top artwork that countless collectors and museums are chasing madly
" "This "Ballet Classroom" is one of them, and it is of special significance, it is a painting that Degas personally brought to the United States, and it can be found in many documents
" "Combining these factors, and then referring to the auction records of Degas's works, this " The valuation of "Ballet Classroom" should be around $50 million,"
not surprisingly, as soon as this valuation came out, it immediately attracted a chorus of exclamations.
"Wow! At $50 million, this valuation is amazing!
"$2,000 instantly becomes $50 million, directly increasing 25,000 times, which is really crazy and unheard of!"
Just as others exclaimed, Brian's body shook twice, and his eyes were black, and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, his body was not bad, and he finally stabilized his figure and barely stood up.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran's eyes couldn't help but flash a smile.
Then, he smiled and asked
, "Brian, are you okay, can you still hold on?"
"If you are not feeling well, it is better to go and sit on the sofa for a while to avoid accidents"
Everyone at the scene turned to look at Brian, and everyone's eyes were full of sympathy, even pity.
Being swept away by someone with a top artwork worth $50 million is a pain for everyone!
Faint on the spot, even if the psychological quality is very good!
Brian was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.
"Can you be okay? This is a $50 million painting of "Ballet Classroom" by Degas, the top artwork" "
It's a pity that I have no eyes, I missed such a top artwork in vain, it's really stupid!"
"I'd better go sit on the sofa for a while, otherwise I might really faint here,"
he said, and he walked towards the reception area with a lost soul, as if he was dozens of years old in an instant.
Seeing this scene, one of his old friends hurried to follow and whispered a few words of relief, lest this guy not think about it.
When he walked away, Xiao Ran immediately turned his head to look at the clerk next to him with red eyes.
"Dude, help me get some tubes, I'm going to put up this Yale Autumn Landscape and Degas's Ballet Classroom
" "David, you go check out, I need three telescopic tubes
" "Okay, Sean"
David nodded in response, and then walked towards the clerk.
A moment later, David came over with three black telescopic tubes.
Xiao Ran immediately began to roll the painting, first rolling up the "Yale University Autumn Landscape" and loading it into one of the telescopic tubes.
Then he handed this painting tube to Fang Yufei and asked her to hold it.
Then he picked up the pliers again and carefully began to pull out the many nails that nailed the Ballet Classroom.
After a while, all the nails that were hammered into this top artwork were pulled out without causing any damage to the painting.
After pulling out the nail, Xiao Ran put the pliers aside.
Then a clean new pair of gloves began, and this is the beginning of the roll of Degas's "Ballet Classroom".
Although this impressionist masterpiece is more than a hundred years old, it is very well preserved, and the oil paint of the picture is not cracked, and it can be rolled up.
Just as Xiao Ran rolled this oil painting, everyone at the scene held their breath, staring closely at his every move, staring at the drawing board under him.
Everyone is full of envy, reluctance, and want to enjoy Degas's "Ballet Classroom" again
, at the same time, everyone is also full of expectations and wants to see it.
Underneath this "Ballet Classroom", there is something hidden and the work of which top art master.
With Xiao Ran's movements, the things hidden under this oil painting gradually appeared.
The next moment, everyone at the scene snorted in surprise.
