On the wall in front of him, there are more than 20 paintings of various types, different artistic styles and different sizes. It occupies all the space on the wall and looks quite spectacular.
The same is true for the walls on both sides and beside the warehouse door behind him. They have been completely occupied by all kinds of paintings and they are full of hangings, leaving no gaps!
In the room, there are four rows of steel racks with a length of more than ten meters and a height of about three meters standing on the ground. They look very strong. On both sides of these racks, there are also many paintings and a lot of them.
The ground is very clean, there are no paintings standing against the wall all the paintings are hung up!
This kind of display method is very scientific, coupled with the internal environment of constant temperature and humidity, can very well protect many paintings and avoid unnecessary damage to them.
Obviously, Thompson's old guy took a lot of thought, which is worthy of recognition!
After all, he has a considerable artistic taste and as a painter himself, he is not comparable to other idiots and gangsters who stole artworks. His rank is more than one level higher!
Many of the paintings in front of him have different textures, some painted on paper, painted on canvas, painted on wooden boards and other kinds of materials.
The categories of paintings are not the same, there are oil paintings, sketches, prints and even a few traditional Chinese ink landscapes!
Oil on canvas is the most common, which is the mainstream of the Western art market and it is normal! The constant temperature and humidity environment is specially designed for oil paintings. This is the most suitable environment for the display and preservation of oil paintings!
There are even more artistic styles, including Renaissance, Baroque, Classical Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism, Abstractism, Magic Realism, etc., with a dazzling array of colors!
The creation time is even more different. There are paintings in almost every century within a thousand years. Ye Tian's eyes are shining with yellow, orange, red and white light, which is very beautiful!
The most frequent colors in his eyes are red and white, accounting for almost half of them, indicating that there are the largest number of paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries in this warehouse.
Of course, there are also some paintings that do not emit dazzling light. They are all modern works of art in the past 50 years.
There are many paintings here, each one is different, showing different beauty, each with its own merits! But they have one of the biggest things in common, without exception!
In Ye Tian's eyes, each painting has more than ten or twenty layers of charming halo, full of temptation! There are even more halo layers in a few paintings.
It can be seen that all the paintings here are top art works! Has a very high artistic value, as well as collection value!
Of course, the market value that Ye Tian and Matisse value most is also extraordinary!
In addition to many paintings of various types, there are many valuable antiques here.
In the middle of the warehouse, there is a huge modular shelf on the left and right, which is similar to the Duobao Pavilion in traditional Chinese furniture.
These two shelves are assembled by an angle iron frame and a three-centimeter-thick wooden board. They don't look aesthetic at all, but they are very strong and practical.
On the shelves are not all kinds of paintings, but many antiques.
There are fine porcelains from China, classical sculptures from Europe, cultural relics from ancient Egypt and Native American cultural relics and so on! There are many kinds, occupying most of the space on the shelf.
Compared with many paintings, these antiques are even older!
There are five or six thousand years of history in the distance and three or four hundred years in the near. Ye Tian's eyes are shining with beautiful lights of all colors and he is a little dizzy.
In addition to the dazzling light emitted by each antique, there are also many layers of charming halos, which are also full of temptation and heart-pounding!
Obviously, most of the antiques on the shelves have extraordinary artistic value, as well as high market value.
Ye Tian walked along the middle passage, admiring the antique artworks on the walls and shelves on both sides, intoxicated and proud! The smile is so brilliant!
In a blink of an eye, he had reached the end of the passage, then stopped, raised his head slightly and began to admire a portrait of a person on the wall in front of him!
In his eyes, this portrait of a person radiated a dazzling orange light, so beautiful!
Judging from the intensity of the light radiated by the painting, the age of its creation can be accurately determined.
This is a famous painting from the 16th century! The painting skills are superb, no matter the light or the characters in the paintings, it gives people a sense of tranquility and harmony! It is a masterpiece at a glance!
In addition to the dazzling orange light, the twenty layers of fascinating halos illustrate this point extremely accurately!
This is a top-notch oil painting, produced by the top masters of painting, with extraordinary artistic value and extraordinary market value!
No matter in any large museum in the world, this top-of-the-art artwork can become a treasure of the town hall and even a national treasure of the country where it is located, there is no doubt!
This classic oil painting in Renaissance style alone is enough to make the Metropolitan Museum and MOMA feel envy crazy, not to mention there are more top antique works of art here!
The position where this portrait of a person is hung is facing the warehouse door, with a good view. Ye Tian saw it as soon as he entered the warehouse and it was hard to ignore it!
The moment he saw this oil painting, his sight was firmly attracted and he was shocked by the appearance of this oil painting here!
After the shock, he quickly made a decision to use this top oil painting as the first target of the video material.
Ye Tian knew this top oil painting and was quite familiar with it.
Not only him, but anyone who has a little bit of research on Western art history basically knows this famous painting!
This is a portrait of a classicist figure. The name is "Portrait of a Young Man". The artist who created this oil painting is Raphael, a famous Italian painter and one of the three great Renaissance art circles!
Raphael is one of the most outstanding painters in Italy. He is also known as the three outstanding artists of the Renaissance, along with Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo and is the youngest among them.
His work draws on the strengths of many families and formed his own unique style, representing the most admired aesthetic taste of the people at that time and becoming an unattainable model for later classicism artists.
In the history of Western art, Raphael's position is very lofty. His art is respected as "classic art" by later generations and his works are respected as "models of creation" and enjoy a high reputation.
His creation of "Sistine Madonna" is highly regarded as an artistic masterpiece comparable to "Mona Lisa" and a rare treasure in the treasure house of human culture and art.
This classicist oil painting on canvas is one of Raphael's masterpieces. The portrait of a young man in the painting is said to be Raphael himself.
With a thin and white face, long flowing hair, a peaceful and elegant temperament and a slightly melancholy look, from these aspects, it is indeed very similar to Raphael himself!
Before World War II, this famous painting has been kept in the Czartoryski Museum in Kraków, Poland, for people to appreciate and admire. It is one of Poland's most important national treasures.
It wasn't until 1939 that World War II broke out and Germany invaded Poland. Unfortunately, this top-notch painting fell into the hands of the Nazi SS and was taken to Berlin by the Gestapo to decorate Hitler's mansion.
In 1945, senior Nazi official Hans Frank found this famous painting in the collection of the Führer and took it to the Royal Wawel Castle.
Since then, this painting has never appeared again, completely disappeared!
During the Second World War, Poland lost countless precious artworks and this famous painting by Raphael is the most important one among them.
In the years to come, the Czartoryski family tried many times to find this top-class painting, but found nothing. There is no way to know who this famous painting fell into.
Isn't only the Czartoryski family looking for this famous painting, the Polish government has also spared no effort to search for these lost cultural relics and artworks all over the world!
Once found, they will try to recover these lost cultural relics or works of art from collectors, museums and even descendants of Nazis all over the world, at a huge price!
This top oil painting from Raphael is undoubtedly the most important target of the Polish government's search.
But who would have thought that this top-notch painting would have fallen into the hands of Thompson in Boston and was hidden in such an extremely secret underground warehouse.
"The painting is great! It is worthy of being one of the three outstanding artists in the Renaissance art circle and a well-deserved reputation!"
Ye Tian exclaimed a few words in a low voice and then ended the short appreciation process.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his mobile phone and started filming this top oil painting, giving the most accurate identification conclusions.
"What you see is a famous classicist oil painting, one of the three masters of the Italian Renaissance art circle and one of the masterpieces of the famous painter Raphael, "Portrait of a Young Man".
This portrait of a classicist figure was created between 1513 and 1514. It was the peak of Raphael's artistic career. The young man in the painting is said to be Raphael himself.
Based on my research and appraisal of this painting, I can say with certainty that this is Raphael's original work, that is the top art that hit Hitler's heart and it is invaluable!
After disappearing in 1945, this famous painting has never appeared again, there is no trace! I didn't expect to be here. This is the luck for each of us to appreciate such a perfect artwork.
Of course, this is also my luck. I am very honored to discover this famous painting and bring this famous painting back to the public eye, so that it can be seen again and it will bring you beautiful enjoyment! ..."
Ye Tian introduced this famous painting while shooting, very professional!
He not only filmed the entire painting, but also brought the phone camera close to the oil painting and several partial close-ups came up, leaving more and more powerful visual evidence on the screen.
Soon, the video footage of this oil painting was finished and the appraisal conclusion was speak out.
After that, Ye Tian took a few more glances at this top-level famous painting, then reluctantly looked away and looked at another famous painting next to him.
