Chapter 1371: The lost masterpiece
"What are you talking about?" Chen Songyang's voice came from behind like a robot, frightening both of them.
At this time, Chen Songyang squeezed out a smile: "Sorry, the tea has already been brewed."
Tong Yang took the tea, expressed his thanks, and then asked: "Boss Chen, what does Chen Minghan do? Why are there ancient paintings?"
"He is idle and usually likes to go out for petty theft. Whose house did he steal the calligraphy and painting you mentioned? After the work is over, I will call him back and scold him." Chen Songyang explained casually. road.
Before Lin Ran and the others could think about it, Chen Songyang said: "Drink it while it's hot. Black tea is more delicious when it's still hot. You guys wait here. I'm going to take out the last calligraphy and painting now."
Lin Ran picked up the cup and smelled it, and the aroma of black tea hit his face.
However, this is too fragrant, a bit unnatural.
Chen Songyang turned around and looked at several calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
In fact, he was peeking at the two people behind him.
"It is indeed good tea. I have never smelled such fragrant tea." Tong Yang showed an intoxicated expression on his face, and then took a sip.
Lin Ran also pretended to raise the tea to his mouth. He didn't actually drink it, but he still showed a breathy expression like Tong Yang, "It's really good tea."
"Haha, then you refused to drink it at first." Chen Songyang took down a scroll and unfolded it on the corner of the coffee table.
"Okay, let's drink tea and admire the paintings."
Just now, Lin Ran had turned on the tracker.
This was the device that Guan Yun brought with him when he escaped from the team. The tracker was in Guan Yun's hand, but the tracker was always on Lin Ran.
Because Lin Ran didn't want Guan Yun to follow him all the time, he also gave him some private space, which he would only use when he was in danger.
I didn't expect that I would actually use it today.
"Then why are we wasting our time here? Let's start watching now." Tong Yang also laughed. He felt that Lin Ran was thinking too much. Boss Chen just had a weird temper, but he was still fine and wouldn't be in trouble. Play tricks with him on this issue.
There were only three of them in Nuo Da's living room.
In the fish tank next to it, the sound of fish jumping out of the water and falling down could be heard from time to time, which seemed very quiet and elegant.
When there are fewer people, painting appreciation will naturally be more interesting.
After all, if there is one less person, there will be less noise, and there will be no need for others to rush over to take a look.
However, what makes Lin Ran a little strange is that as a painter, Chen Songyang does not seem to have a deep understanding of calligraphy and painting, which is completely opposite to his sharp painting skills.
You must know that when I wanted to discuss the style of calligraphy and painting with him before, he refused with an arrogant attitude like "You are a layman. I am too lazy to tell you."
As long as any master is successful in the industry, he will be willing to explain some knowledge to the younger generations, because it is human nature to be a teacher.
Especially middle-aged people like Chen Songyang, who has a special appearance and exudes the temperament of an artist, are the hardest hit area for this kind of people.
Lin Ran just took a look at some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. These paintings and calligraphy were obviously different from those outside. They were obviously everyone's works.
The most famous among them are the four paintings.
Because these four paintings are all imitations of the same artist, it is no less difficult to collect four of his paintings at the same time than to collect four genuine works.
Chen Songyang is not at all like what he says on the surface, and has no research on ancient paintings.
Otherwise, why would these genuine items be placed in the living room, while those fake items with almost no visible flaws are placed outside, obviously treated differently.
From this point of view, his painting skills may be average, but he is an expert in calligraphy and painting treasure appraisal.
He should be in his 40s, an age when he has rich experience and outstanding abilities.
Lin Ran held the tea cup.He looked at the painting on the coffee table attentively.
Seeing his focused look, Chen Songyang nodded, with a cunning look in his eyes.
"This painting..." Lin Ran paused. No one else spoke, their eyes focused on him.
"This painting is authentic." Lin Ran said excitedly.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Chen Songyang said with a smile on his face. Even Tong Yang was excited now. He could only say that he had a superficial understanding of calligraphy and painting. Being able to see authentic paintings today was a great experience. , I will have bragging rights with my friends in the future.
"The paper of this scroll has turned yellow and has a dark color, which highlights the sense of age. The paper is slightly rolled but not folded. It is obviously made of silk paper made of fine wood."
Lin Ran glanced at Chen Songyang, then pointed to the seal on the scroll and said, "Qianlong's Imperial View means that this painting was once collected by Emperor Qianlong. This kind of seal cannot be forged."
Other seals can be made by engraving privately. Although this is illegal, jade seals cannot be faked. The material and depth are very different from ordinary jade.
If you can make fake jade seals, there is no need to sell fake calligraphy and paintings. You can make more money by selling the jade seals directly.
Moreover, this seal is obviously stamped, not drawn through painting techniques, and is completely different from the external mark.
Lin Ran looked up along the scroll. In addition to Qianlong's seal, there were also seals from Li Tang and other masters.
This scroll is none other than Fan Kuan's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains".
Fan Kuan was one of the three great painters of the Northern Song Dynasty. His equal name was Li Cheng, the first painter of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It is said that at the beginning, Fan Kuan imitated Li Cheng's painting. He was also good at landscape painting. Their biggest hobby was sketching.
Different from Li Cheng's elegance, Fan Kuan's characteristics, in the words of a critic, are "magnificent and lofty."
Because most of his paintings depict mountain waterfalls, even forest trees will highlight an epic feeling.
This characteristic was particularly evident in his later years.
As Fan Kuan got older, his paintings became more wild and he used too much ink, making it difficult to distinguish the outlines of soil and stone in his paintings, giving people a sense of unity among you.
"Look here, this stroke is actually the legendary raindrop chapping. It is his unique chapping method. This painting method is very special and almost impossible to reproduce."
Because this is, to put it nicely, a unique painting method, but in fact it is his improvisation. I am afraid that he himself will not be able to make such lines again.
Lin Ran explained that although he was quite afraid of Chen Songyang, he was also very happy to see this painting.
This painting is a work that has been handed down from generation to generation and has been recognized at home and abroad. It has been lost among the people for a while. They thought it was snatched away by foreigners, but they did not expect that the authentic painting is here.
Lin Ran was really thinking about how to take this painting as his own, assuming that Chen Songyang had bad intentions towards him.
