Chapter 230
After chatting with the fans in the live broadcast room, Xiao Ran came to a large painting bag and prepared to open it.
At this moment, the three appraisal experts Shanshan arrived late and finally arrived at the villa.
The three experts are from the Getty Museum and the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art, and are well-known in the industry.
They had dealt with Xiao Ran before and helped him identify many antique relics and works of art.
Seeing their arrival, Xiao Ran stopped the movement on his hand and introduced it to everyone.
Only then did he pick up the large painting bag, place it on the prepared easel, and gently open the painting bag.
With his movements, a Baroque oil painting immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
This painting is medium in size, about 120 by 150, in the Baroque style.
The painting shows a naked goddess standing in front of a mirror looking at self-pity.
She turned her back to the audience and gave a back full of reverie, but the dressing mirror in front of her perfectly presented her in front of everyone's eyes.
The goddess in the painting has a delicate face, a soft and round shape, and a delicate curve, which is intoxicating.
Gu Ying's self-pitying posture is a little elegant and calm.
The graceful curves and undulations of its body are like a symphony of light and color, which is extremely moving.
The moment I saw this Baroque oil painting, everyone at the scene was shocked and stunned in place.
Many fans in the live broadcast room were the same, and they instantly quieted down.
Although everyone does not know much about Western painting art, their appreciation of beauty is common.
Only Xiao Ran and David, who had already seen this oil painting, performed normally.
Even so, their eyes were full of intoxication.
Xiao Ran looked at everyone at the scene and chuckled proudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the masterpieces of Velázquez, one of Spain's greatest painters, "Venus in front of the mirror"
" "In the National Gallery of London, there is also a painting of the same name by Velázquez, but the Venus in that painting is lying on its side
" "That oil painting is one of the most important collections of the National Gallery in London, and this oil painting is a sister painting, and the artistry and value are comparable".
They are works created by Velázquez in his later years, and their smooth figures, bright colors, etc., are the best summary of the artist's artistic achievements in his life,...... "
With this introduction, everyone came to their senses.
Many fans in the live broadcast room were the same, and they were instantly awake.
The next moment, the scene and the two live broadcast rooms were fried at the same time.
"Oh my God! It turned out to be Velázquez's "Venus in front of the mirror", which is incredible!
"This oil painting once appeared in Madrid in the early nineties, but then suddenly disappeared, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of Pablo
" "In the history of Western art, "Venus in front of the mirror" is one of the most popular nude portraits, and it is the earliest nude portrait painted by Spanish painters
" "Its artistic status is extremely important, before the appearance of this painting, the "Venus in front of the mirror" in London has always been considered the only one
". It was not until the appearance of this painting that it became known that Velázquez painted two paintings of the same name, the artistic standard is not distinguished, they are equally great!
Elaine exclaimed excitedly, and even danced
and exclaimed, she quickly stepped forward and began to admire the famous painting in fascination.
Several superstars who did not know much about the painting were also full of intoxication.
"This Venus in front of the mirror is so beautiful, simply beautiful!"
Justin Bieber exclaimed.
"I know Velázquez, the first master in the history of Spanish art, known as the greatest painter Spain has ever seen,"
Selena continued, her eyes shining with excitement.
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, and then introduced with a smile.
"That's right, Velázquez is a painter of the Baroque period of the seventeenth century, the first master of the Spanish art scene, and the greatest painter in Spain
" "He has a high artistic talent, and has created countless outstanding paintings in his life, especially the most outstanding and the largest number of portraits of various people
" "Venus in front of the mirror" is one of his most famous masterpieces, I did not expect it to fall into the hands of Pablo, it seems that Pablo is particularly fond of Spanish painters..."
As he was talking, the expert from the Getty Museum suddenly interjected.
"Sean, there is no doubt about this "Venus in front of the mirror", it is indeed a masterpiece of the Spanish art master Velázquez, and the inheritance is orderly
" "If you are interested in selling this "Venus in front of the mirror", our Getty Museum is willing to fund the acquisition, the price is easy to say"
The words did not fall, and the superstars on the scene were immediately anxious.
"Sean, transfer this painting to me, how about $30 million?"
Julia Roberts couldn't wait to make an offer, lest she miss out on this top-of-the-line artwork.
"$50 million, Sean, I love this "Venus in front of the mirror
" so much" "If Venus were a sexy black beauty, it would be more perfect, but unfortunately not"
O'Neill also gave an offer, and the shot was very generous.
"Hahaha"
There was laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.
At the same time, several white stars secretly rolled their eyes in unison, and they were also a little helpless.
This is the skin color of Lao Mei, political correctness, even superstars like O'Neill are not exempt from vulgarity.
Today's black Americans not only hope that Venus is a black beauty, but also hope that God is also black!
When the laughter fell slightly, Xiao Ran immediately shook his head.
"Guys, this Velázquez's "Venus in front of the mirror" is missing 150 million US dollars, you don't need to think about it
" "By the way, the market price of Goya's "Rhapsody" in the living room of the villa is also more than 80 million US dollars,......"
Hearing this offer, several superstars were stunned.
One by one, their eyes were round, and their eyeballs were about to fly out.
Even if they are superstars, everyone is worth a lot of money, and it is very easy to make money.
However, it is not enough to let them come up with such a large amount of money at once.
Or should it be said, they simply can't come up with such a large sum of cash!
Compared with them, the three appraisal experts were relatively calm.
Because they know that the representative work of Velázquez in front of them is indeed worth this price, or even higher.
the "Rhapsody" in the living room of the villa, if it is Goya's authentic work, it is the legendary painting, and the value is also about 100 million yuan.
At this time, the live broadcast room has long been boiling.
"Me! Just two oil paintings, actually worth more than 200 million US dollars, Xiao Ran really made a lot of money on this product
" "Although buddies don't understand Western art, this "Venus in front of the mirror" is indeed very beautiful"
said through Lin Dayu exclaimed.
"It's normal to think about it, you know, this is Pablo's art collection, is it bad?"
"That guy is not only the king of drugs, but also the seventh richest man in the world, and he can use these top works of art to launder money,"
said the old Li upstairs.
At the same time that everyone was talking about it, those fans in the collector's live broadcast room had already rushed to start offering.
"Xiao Ran, those Hollywood superstars can't afford this painting, my boss can!"
"My boss just spoke, 160 million dollars, buy this 'Venus in front of the mirror',"
said proudly as he sat and watched the clouds rise.
"Xiao Ran, my boss asked for that Goya's Rhapsody, 90 million dollars, ready to be traded in Los Angeles,"
the woodcutter on the cloud continued.
Hearing these amazing quotes, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't worry, wait until I clean up all the treasures and then discuss the transaction
" "At the same time, you can also rest assured that in the case of the same bid, I will give priority to the fans in
the live broadcast room" "Although these superstars are on the scene, they have no advantage over everyone"
The words did not fall, and there was a cheer immediately in the two live broadcast rooms.
Next, everyone came forward to take a closer look at this "Venus in front of the mirror".
During the appreciation, Xiao Ran and Elaine acted as docents and carefully explained the oil painting.
With their introduction, whether it is several superstars who are on the scene, or many fans in the live broadcast room.
Everyone's understanding of this painting has become more profound and more understanding of the value of this painting.
The professional ability shown by Xiao Ran and Elaine also made everyone appreciate and admire.
Since it was midday, the sun was strong.
In order to better protect this ancient painting, Xiao Ran had to interrupt everyone.
Later, he asked Elaine and Fang Yufei to carry the painting into the villa.
In this way, damage caused by direct sunlight can be avoided.
Everyone at the scene was full of reluctance and nostalgia, and they watched the oil painting being carried into the villa.
However, they were even more reluctant to leave and went to the villa to continue to admire the painting "Venus in front of the mirror".
The reason is simple, there are bound to be miracles here.
In fact, when
Elaine and Fang Yufei put away "Venus in front of the mirror" and came out of the villa, Xiao Ran took action again.
He leaned over and picked up a small oil painting and placed it on the display stand.
Then, under everyone's gaze, he gently opened the painting bag and took out the oil painting contained inside.
As soon as this oil painting appeared, the scene and the live broadcast room immediately exploded.
"Oh my God! This is Monet! Everyone
cheered in unison!
