Chapter 440: Authentic? Fake?


Now the most widely circulated portrait of Emperor Qianlong's imperial robe is painted by Lang Shining, and the portrait of Emperor Qianlong that appears on the computer screen in front of him, although it is generally the same, but there is a big difference in details, such as Emperor Qianlong's demeanor, as well as his sitting posture, and even facial features, it is not difficult to see from these details that it is also a portrait of Emperor Qianlong, but the Qianlong Emperor in this portrait is younger than the Qianlong Emperor in the middle-aged portrait circulating on the market, The Qianlong Emperor in this painting should be in his prime, in fact, the Qianlong Emperor also has a portrait of the Qianlong Emperor wearing court clothes when he was younger, but compared with this one, he lacks a bit of domineering self-esteem in the world.

You must know that Emperor Qianlong has always praised himself as a literati, and among the many paintings left by the ancients, Qianlong also dressed himself as a literati, whether it is the most widely circulated one, or the young one, although he is wearing court clothes, his face is a literati temperament, and the praise of the madman is not in vain, but in this painting, the Qianlong Emperor has changed the previous literati temperament, and the eyebrows reveal domineering, which is really rare.

So when this painting appeared on the official website of the nostalgic art auction company, all the people waiting for the custom antique were all stunned, their eyes widened, their jaws dropped, dumbfounded, as if they were pointed, no one thought that the first order of the custom antique was a portrait of Lang Shining's Qianlong Emperor, and it was also a portrait of the Qianlong Emperor who was different from the previous temperament of the Qianlong Emperor, just for this point, the value of this painting will soar exponentially, and even more expensive than the other two full-body portraits of the same theme.

"This, whether this is true or not, I don't have a dazzle."

In the conference room of a museum in Beijing, although it was late at night, it was full of people at this time, and they were all some old people, among whom were in their seventies and gray hair, and the younger ones were in their fifties, but there were two in their early forties, but they were all standing on the side, responsible for serving tea and pouring water.

Among these people, some are expert experts, some are collectors, and some are curators and researchers of museums around the world, either directors of this association or members of that committee, with a lot of titles, in short, they are all masters in the antique circle.

The reason why they gather here late at night is for the same thing, that is, to see the true face of the antiques that are custom-made by the auction company for the first time.

Antique customization, which is not just the business of an auction company in the entire antique circle and auction circle, has become a sensational event in the whole industry.

For the development of the entire industry and the regulation of the industry, these experts in the antique circle gathered together today not only to determine the specifications of the antiques on display, but also to identify their authenticity, and to make a final conclusion on this major event that has been in trouble for nearly a month.

If the specifications are not high, or if it is a fake, then this eye-catching deception should be punished, it's time to return a wisp of freshness to the antique circle, if there is no problem, then, the breeze itself comes.

Any industry needs to be regulated, and any industry also needs some respected people to promote standardization.

"Judging from the painting techniques and color style, it should be from the pen of the court painter Lang Shining, and it will not be wrong."

An old man stood up, and after carefully looking at the painting on the big screen, he nodded and said, the expression on his face was both surprise and amazement, obviously deeply attracted by the painting.

"That's right, this painting has obvious characteristics of combining Chinese and Western styles, presenting a unique style that is different from previous court paintings, forming a fine and realistic effect, which has never been seen before Lang Shining."

Another old man said.

"As we all know, Lang Shining painted two full-body court dress portraits for Emperor Qianlong, one was when Emperor Qianlong was young, and the other was when Emperor Qianlong entered middle age, and the one in front of him was obviously painted by Lang Shining when Emperor Qianlong was in his prime."

"No, no, no."

Before the man could finish his words, he was interrupted by another old man.

"Lao Zhang, did I say something wrong?"

"When I first saw this painting, I also felt that this should have been painted by Lang Shining in the prime of Emperor Qianlong's life, but if you look at the inscription below, it is very clear that Emperor Qianlong Guihai Mengchun Haixi and the middle-aged portrait were painted at the same time, that is, these two paintings should have been painted in the same year and in the same place."

"yes, I said why I always felt that this painting was a little strange, and finally found the reason.

But what is going on, and why do two completely different paintings appear in the same place in the same year?"

The crowd immediately fell into deep thought, and at the same time, some people online had discovered the problem and began to leave their doubts on the message board.

"The year of Guihai is one of the 60 Jiazi of the Ganzhi calendar, why do paintings in the same place in the same year appear two Qianlong with different demeanors?"

"I feel that the Qianlong Emperor on the two paintings is at least five or six years apart, and the spirit is completely different, it can't be a fake."

"Emperor Qianlong has always shown his literati temperament, but the Qianlong Emperor in this portrait is majestic and empty-eyed, and there is no doubt that he is a fake.

Antique custom jokes. ” "Although Emperor Qianlong prides himself on being a literati, he is an emperor after all, and the nobility and arrogance on his body are innate.

"That's your opinion, we have to respect the facts, if this is the real thing, then what should the same pair say?"

"This portrait of Emperor Qianlong has a different expression from other portraits of Emperor Qianlong painted by Lang Shining, and it must be a fake.

Nostalgia, don't fool people with this kind of fake, it's too contemptuous of people. ” "However, if this painting is a fake, who would be foolish to show such a big flaw when copying?"

"I see, it's useless for us to just look at pictures on the Internet, nostalgia, can you let us see the real paintings?"

"Yes, it's more appropriate to see the real picture." “” Li Dacheng squinted his eyes and looked at the comments on the message board, he originally wanted to use this portrait of Emperor Qianlong to shock those people in the antique circle and auction circle, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big controversy, to be honest, he really didn't think about the questions raised on the message board, because this was provided to him by He Shen, so he never doubted the authenticity of this painting at all.

He Shen didn't dare to deceive him with a fake, the other party didn't have the guts.

But what the hell is going on?

Li Dacheng immediately took out his mobile phone from the side, entered Super WeChat, found his friend He Shen, and sent a message to the other party.

"He Shen, is the portrait of Emperor Lang Shining Qianlong you offered a few days ago true or false" After asking, even Li Dacheng himself felt ridiculous and doubted that He Shen and Shen were poor about this painting At this time, He Shen was already asleep, and suddenly God's words came to his mind, and the whole person woke up immediately, and he has now practiced that no matter how fragrant he sleeps, as long as he hears God's voice, he will wake up, which is better than the emperor's words.

"God, that painting is really painted by Lang Shining, it is true, if the villain has any place to deceive God, he is willing to bear the punishment of five thunders."

He Shen said seriously.

"Then why is there a portrait of Emperor Qianlong by Lang Shining that was made in the same year and place as the one you offered, but the demeanor is completely different," Li Dacheng asked.

He Shen was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself that God deserved to be God, and he even knew about this kind of thing, and he really knew everything and could do everything.

"God, about this matter, the villain also listened to the father-in-law in the palace, at that time the emperor ordered Lang Shining to paint, but after the painting, the emperor felt that Lang Shining painted him old, but it was not easy to say, so he returned to the palace, when the concubines asked about the portrait at night, the emperor sighed deeply, and said what was on his mind, and the last foreign concubine gave the emperor an idea, that is, let the emperor make up, and asked the imperial doctor to grind some precious medicinal materials into powder and water and paste them on his face.

After washing, he smeared something on his face, and finally the emperor's appearance really became younger, so the emperor asked Lang Shining to paint him a portrait, so there was this second painting, that is, the one that the villain provided to God. ” I see Li Dacheng's face showed an expression of sudden realization, people always hope that they will grow up quickly when they are young, but when they grow up, they feel that they are aging too fast, and the emperor is no exception, otherwise how could there be so many emperors in history who pursue immortality And the women of the harem, all they have to do all day long is to dress themselves up beautifully, hoping to attract the attention of the emperor, this makeup technique will definitely not be bad.

Let the best makeup artist at that time put makeup on the emperor, you can't think of being young.

It's just that He Shen told him that he would believe it, but it was up to him to tell the connoisseurs and collectors in the antique circle that they would believe it, you know, many people are waiting to see a good show.

"I'm the deputy director of the Ancient Calligraphy and Painting Department of the Beijing Museum, and I have an idea to authenticate the authenticity of this painting."

Suddenly, a message attracted the attention of Li Dacheng and many online people.

"What's the idea?"

the others asked.

"First of all, from the point of view of painting skills, it must be a work in the style of Lang Shining, which is beyond doubt, and now everyone's main doubt is that the demeanor of Emperor Qianlong is whether it is copied by later generations according to the original painting.

Although there may be an error of several decades, but in that environment at that time, the only person who could draw this style in the decades before and after was Lang Shining himself.

I don't know if the nostalgic art auction company agrees with this suggestion" In fact, the deputy director who left a message at this time represented not only himself, but also the more than 20 experts in the industry around him, who also discussed this issue for a long time, but did not talk about the reason, and finally could only use this high-tech method.

If after the carbon 14 test, it is finally concluded that the age of the paper is indeed around the year of Qianlong Guihai, then this painting is definitely the authentic work of Lang Shining, but if the year is not right, it must be a fake.

This is also the best way to do it when disagreements arise.

"It makes sense, just use the technology of carbon 14 to determine the generation, and ensure that it can't be wrong, and the nostalgic people hurry up to respond."

"yes, don't pretend to be blind and dumb, we know there must be someone in your company."

"Don't be weak-hearted, don't dare to come out" Thousands of people online all pointed the finger at the nostalgic art auction company, leaving messages, repeated messages, and for a while, there were hundreds of thousands of messages under the message board in an instant.

Li Dacheng smiled, he was really worried that someone would take advantage of this to make trouble, stir up nonsense, and find a water army to blow up the official website, and the carbon 14 test proposed by the deputy director of the solidification is exactly what he wants, because he is not worried about the test results, even if this painting is not painted by Lang Shining, it is also painted by the masters of He Shen's era, and the time difference between before and after is not much, and it is completely within the error of the carbon 14 test.

"I am Li Dacheng, chairman of the nostalgic art auction company, and I accept the proposal of the deputy director of the ancient painting and calligraphy department of the Beijing Museum to carry out carbon 14 testing on this painting, so as to determine the authenticity of the painting, at the same time, I also hope that the Beijing Museum can send an expert team to firm up on the twenty pieces of customized antiques, and all the costs incurred will be borne by our nostalgic art auction company."

Li Dacheng posted a message and pinned it to the top so that everyone could see his words.

The Beijing Museum, which is the largest ancient culture and art museum in China, is full of experts in the antique industry, and these people are absolutely convincing in the circle.

The reason why Li Dacheng threw an olive branch to the Beijing Museum, on the one hand, is to let people know that the nostalgic antique custom business is not in vain, but genuine, on the other hand, and the Beijing Museum to get in touch, it is also of great benefit to the nostalgic environment, if it is really going to send an expert group, then the members of this expert group will definitely become nostalgic resources in the future.

"What do you think" In the conference room, the deputy director who had just left a message looked at the other people in the conference room and asked, there are too many experts here, and he can't be the master alone.

"I'm worried that I can't see those custom-made antiques with my own eyes, since everyone has already expressed their attitude, then it doesn't hurt for us to go and see."

An old man in his sixties said.

"Lao Liu is right, if this painting is genuine, then his value will be much higher than the two paintings found before, it is definitely a priceless treasure, and our museum can also consider selling it."

"Don't always be yours, although we are not from the Beijing Museum, we have also done a lot of things for you, we must take us with us this time, otherwise, I will rely on you."

"Yes, I'm going too, with the current situation, these twenty custom antiques are definitely rare treasures, I can't miss this opportunity."

"Add me one."

"And me."

For a while, everyone in the entire conference room screamed loudly.

"Okay, then let's go together" To be continued. t1706231537:
