In the announcement issued by the nostalgic art auction company and the Beijing Museum, it is clearly mentioned that the Beijing Museum sent an appraisal expert group composed of 20 people this time, but the actual number of people who came far exceeded this number, and the 20 people were just researchers in charge of identification, plus team leaders, technicians, etc., there were more than 30 people.
Among these people, in addition to the people from the Beijing Museum, there are also people from other museums, they gather together, in a circle, don't look at all of them are very old, but the spirit is definitely not lost to any young person, especially when arguing, the loud voice, as if adding a trumpet, keeps echoing in the entire warehouse.
Li Dacheng walked over to hear what these red-faced antique authorities had to say about the painting.
"This portrait of Emperor Qianlong obviously has a certain Western painting style, you look at the Qianlong Emperor in the painting, not only full of three-dimensionality, but also convex and concave, and the proportion is also very reasonable."
"Yes, the whole portrait uses anatomy as the basis for modeling, using realistic painting methods to paint the characters, highlighting the sense of realism, you see the treatment of the light source in the painting, using the front light source, so that the overall feeling of the character's face is more soft and clear, this combination of Chinese and Western painting, at that time, and even for a long time after, only Lang Shining can draw."
"The style is fine, the technique is fine, this was very certain before we came.
Lao Liu was right just now, at that time and even in the next few decades, except for Lang Shining, no one could have such an ability, but now there are a lot of such people, Zhang Liu in the lush alley, you should all know that Lang Shining's words are dedicated to Lang Shining, give him a painting of Lang Shining, he can paint exactly the same, not bad at all, if he hadn't washed his hands in the golden basin, I even suspect that this painting was painted by Zhang Liu. ” Zhang Liu, a folk painter, studied in the Academy of Fine Arts in his early years, and later went to Europe to study art, and after returning to China, he specialized in Chinese and Western paintings, and was also well-known in the painting circle, but this did not bring him much wealth, and later someone found him and asked him to imitate a painting of Lang Shining, with a remuneration of 50,000 yuan, which was a huge amount of money at the time, he painted for so many years, and no work could be sold for tens of thousands, so it took a month to copy the painting of Lang Shining.
The owner of the goods was very satisfied, and then patronized it a few more times, his reputation grew, and more and more people came to him, he saw that this road came quickly, so he simply dedicated Lang Shining's paintings, although he himself knew the purpose of those people who asked him to paint, but he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
Later, a liar was caught and arched him out, and he was also imprisoned for a few years because he was involved in the fraud case, and although he continued to paint after he came out, he learned well and added a mark to the painting, but once he was seen that the transaction was not done, and then there were fewer and fewer people looking for him, and he simply washed his hands because of his age.
Actually, this was a few years ago.
At that time, it was rumored that two-thirds of Lang Shining's paintings circulating in the world were actually painted by Zhang Liu, in fact, how many there were, Zhang Liu himself did not know, but it was certain that he could recognize the paintings he painted.
So later, many people bought Lang Shining's paintings, and they all looked for Zhang Liu to give them long eyes, Zhang Liu didn't see it twice, and when he walked at night, he was beaten with a stick, he knew that he was in the way of other people's wealth, so he didn't even look at it later, and spent his old age in peace.
It can also be regarded as a legendary figure in the antique circle of the old capital.
"Yes, there are a lot of talents in this area now, but it's a pity that they are not used in the right place."
An old man sighed deeply, with a bit of helplessness in his words, after all, there are so many people who learn to paint, and how many can draw Zhang Liu, in fact, is a microcosm of many painters.
"So, there are still doubts about this painting, although from a personal point of view, I can't find any fault in this painting, but the antique appraisal is rigorous, and we can't miss any possibility."
"That's right, this painting is indeed in line with Lang Shining's style in terms of painting skills, but the portrait of Emperor Qianlong in it is different from the Qianlong Emperor on various portraits in the past, and in various documents, there is no record of such a painting, let Xiao Zhou and them test the age of this painting first, they are testing, we continue to see, how" "Yes, let's get tested."
In fact, for the authenticity of this painting, these elderly people present are also very concerned, because if this painting is the authentic work of Lang Shining, then its value will be immeasurable, because there has never been any painting in which Emperor Qianlong is so domineering and exposed.
The middle-aged man who carried the instrument just now, that is, the so-called Xiao Zhou and others, immediately came to the side of the painting, carefully extracted it from the painting, and then took it to the instrument for testing, waiting for the results, and those old people gathered around the portrait of Emperor Qianlong, holding a magnifying glass and looking at it inch by inch, for fear of missing a certain detail.
"Mr.
Li, the results of the test will take a while to come out, why don't you take out all the other nineteen customized antiques and let us open our eyes, how about it" Xu Chao pretended to smile casually, but his eyes were full of expectation.
Obviously, he also really wanted to know what the remaining nineteen custom-made antiques were, and twenty days was a long time.
"Director Xu, you don't know the time to order antiques to appear one piece a day, this is not our company decides, but the owner of the baby decides, they hope that everyone can have enough time to slowly appreciate their treasures, I know that Director Xu and all the experts present are very busy, but I also hope that Director Xu can understand our suffering."
Li Dacheng looked at Xu Chao and said.
He wasn't lying, because he was the owner of the antique.
"The owner of the baby is like this, so we have to stay here and wait slowly, but this makes Mr.
Li break the bank."
Xu Chao hurried to round the field.
"It doesn't matter, it's my honor to be able to invite all the experts from the Beijing Museum, and I will definitely trouble you in the future."
Li Dacheng said with a smile that if he can cooperate with the Beijing Museum Dacheng for a long time, then the business of antique customization will be smoother in the future, because no one will doubt the authenticity of nostalgic antique customization.
Xu Chao smiled faintly, he is just an office director, although he is also a leader, but he can't call the shots in this matter.
After all, these old researchers in the museum are all strange-tempered masters, not something he can instruct, if you want them to go out, you must have enough antiques to attract talents, and today's portrait of Emperor Lang Shining Qianlong is like this.
The wait was very long, especially for Li Dacheng, because he knew that the painting that He Shen supplied him would never be fake, and if it was tested to be modern, then there would be ghosts.
However, the members of the expert group were still staring at the painting, eager to see every stroke on it.
At the same time, on the official website of the nostalgic art auction company and the official Weibo of the Beijing Museum, the messages of inquiry have never stopped.
"It's already afternoon, and the expert team should have arrived."
"It takes less than two hours to fly from the capital to Province A, according to this time, the expert group should have arrived a long time ago, is it eating?"
"Is the expert group going on business or tourism?"
"yes, I can't wait when the results will come out." “” In the morning, the forwards have changed from more than 1,000 at the beginning to tens of thousands now, and there have been thousands of messages, most of which are asking about the test results.
There is no way, the reporters they sent didn't even see the people of the appraisal expert group, and squatted around the nostalgic art auction company for a whole morning, and now they finally came back to their senses, they must have avoided reporters and hid in a hidden place, in fact, think about it, so precious treasure, how can you take it everywhere If you touch it, you won't be killed "Director Xu, experts, the results are out."
After a long time, Xiao Zhou walked over with a report.
"How about coming out" Xu Chao hurriedly asked, the result is related to the arrangement of the entire appraisal expert group, if it is a fake, he will return to the capital immediately this afternoon, if it is genuine, then he will continue to stay here, he is also like the dean to report.
"We carried out carbon 14 tests on the drawing paper and the ink on it, and it is certain that the drawing paper should be around 250 years old, and the ink has been on the paper for at least 200 years."
Xiao Zhou said truthfully.
Two hundred and fifty years More than two hundred years Wasn't that the period of Emperor Qianlong's reign?

Two hundred years ago, two hundred years ago, the influence of Western painting on Chinese painting was very limited, and no one in the Qing Dynasty at that time could combine Chinese and Western painting methods, but only one foreigner could do it, and that was Lang Shining "The real handiwork, it's Lang Shining's real handiwork," an old researcher said excitedly, his hand holding the magnifying glass trembling.
"Two hundred years ago, absolutely no one could imitate Lang Shining's painting style, and this portrait of Emperor Qianlong is undoubtedly Lang Shining's painting, and it will definitely not be wrong now."
"Strange, it's so strange, why did Lang Shining paint two completely different portraits of Emperor Qianlong in the same year and place, is there any hidden meaning here, but there has never been a similar thing recorded in the historical documents about Lang Shining."
After determining the age of the portrait, everyone knew that the painting in front of them was definitely a treasure, and the results of the inspection would not lie, and the history of that era would not lie, but history left questions, which made these old men frown one by one and be puzzled.
"Ahem" Li Dacheng suddenly coughed twice, since the portrait has been identified as authentic, it is time for him to speak, "I know a thing or two about the origin of this painting." ” "You know" Hearing Li Dacheng's words, everyone looked over, and their eyes lit up and sparkled.
"I don't know if I'm going to say something" "You want to kill us old men, I have a heart attack."
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, I'll just say it."
Li Dacheng hurriedly said, if he doesn't say it again, maybe he will be touched by these old men, "According to the owner of this treasure, Emperor Qianlong ordered Lang Shining to paint a portrait of him, and when he finished painting the first one, Emperor Qianlong felt that he was much older than his young self in the painting, so he was very depressed, and told the concubines around him about it, and as a result, there was a wonderful hand among the concubines, and the Qianlong Emperor made up some makeup, and the Qianlong Emperor was very satisfied with his sudden youth, so he recruited Lang Shining, Draw another one for him.
Let me tell you this, the one circulating on the market now is the portrait of Emperor Qianlong without makeup, and the one in front of you is the makeup portrait of Emperor Qianlong, and the temperament of Emperor Qianlong in this painting is also the emperor in the heart of the concubine in the harem, mighty and domineering.
Well, that's it. ” Li Dacheng said what He Shen had said to him.
When the experts heard this, they were all stunned, thinking that there was such a thing However, this will explain why the two portraits are the same in time but not in content.
Makeup is indeed a magical skill.
"I see."
It took a long time for the experts to come to their senses.
"How did that friend of yours know?"
asked a researcher curiously, as this kind of thing had never been recorded in the literature, either in a wild history, or by word of mouth.
If it's the former, it's a bit casual, but if it's the latter, then the owner of this baby is definitely not an ordinary person.
"My friend's ancestor was a big official during the Qianlong period, so he knows a little."
Li Dacheng began to make up nonsense again.
"yes, then, can you find that friend of yours, we still have a lot of questions for him."
"I'm sorry, we have signed a confidentiality agreement with our customers, I believe you should know very well." “” The experts are also insiders, and they are still very clear about the confidentiality agreement, because if the owner of the baby is exposed and is targeted by criminals, who is it?
"Thank you experts for being here today, it's not early, let's go to dinner."
Li Dacheng hurriedly changed the topic.
None of the experts left, looked at the portrait on the table, and began to pick up a magnifying glass to look at it.
Before, it was judged whether it was genuine or fake, but now that the authenticity is confirmed, it is time to appreciate it from an artistic point of view.
You must know that once such treasures are auctioned, they must be priceless, and it is not easy to see them again.
"Mr.
Li, don't be surprised, these masters are usually like this, they forget everything when they see the treasures."
Xu Chao said to Li Dacheng.
"It's okay, I understand."
Li Dacheng smiled faintly, if he even forgot to eat when he saw the treasures, then these masters would not have to eat for the next nineteen days.
