Chapter 492 Cultural Protection


The disciple has a request, and when the master is naturally not watching.

Although he is not very proficient in the preservation of Western artworks, as far as Liu Lao's status in the circle is concerned, as long as he makes two phone calls, some experts who are proficient in the preservation of Western artworks will come to help.

Not to mention that there are many incredible treasures in this batch of treasures, and being able to see and touch such treasures with their own eyes is something that every expert who does cultural preservation work dreams of.

Again, this matter cannot be publicized, after all, this batch of treasures entered the customs through illegal means.

No matter what Yang Jing's purpose is, but the incomplete procedures are incomplete procedures, and the edge ball will not be successful.

Therefore, the cultural preservation work of this batch of treasures must also be kept secret.

However, this was difficult for Liu Lao, he directly called two experts who specialized in the preservation of Western art and cultural heritage, and then Yang Jing directly spent more than 7 million US dollars to purchase a batch of professional maintenance tools from abroad according to the advice of these two experts.

In the future, Western art is absolutely indispensable, and even digging out a few treasures is not necessarily an impossible thing, and the museum is also indispensable for the preservation of artworks and antiques, so it is quite necessary to buy a set of advanced cultural preservation equipment.

Now for Yang Jing, things that can be solved with money are never a problem, and with a wave of his hand, in less than ten days, that set of high-end cultural protection tools was transported to Tianqu by air.

These things can't be protected in Yanjing.

This batch of treasures themselves entered the territory of Huaxia in violation of regulations, if they were to do cultural protection from Yanjing, this would be simply an eye medicine for the relevant departments, and Yang Jing didn't want to do this kind of deadly thing.

Yang Jing rented the factory of a small factory that had closed down in the suburbs of Tianqu, rented all the houses in the courtyard, and spent three days installing air conditioners in several of the offices, and temporarily sealing the windows, so that a simple workshop was formed.

It just so happened that Chris and they also spent a twenty-day long vacation at home, and Yang Jing made a phone call, and the twelve bodyguards immediately came to Huaxia.

Twelve of them will be responsible for the security of the makeshift workshop.

In addition to those two experts, Yang Jing's four masters and Old Man Yang, who lived in seclusion in Tianqu, all came, and everyone wanted to see these extremely precious treasures at the first time.

Because of historical reasons, there are many Chinese national treasures that are now floating abroad and cannot be returned.

But now, the treasure that is also regarded as a national treasure by Westerners has fallen into China, and these old experts say that it is fake if they are not excited.

When everything was ready, a container truck quickly drove into the remote yard.

There were no stevedores hired, Yang Jing and Chris worked together, and within an hour, more than a dozen wooden boxes were all unloaded - some wooden boxes Yang Jing did not bring over, they were all some gems or jewelry that did not need to be preserved, and those things did not need to be preserved.

These old experts, including Old Man Yang, were all like wolves seeing meat, staring at these big boxes with green eyes from beginning to end, and they couldn't take off one and open one on the spot.

When all the boxes were transported into the workshop, several old guys all surrounded them, staring at Yang Jing one by one, and the meaning was very clear - you kid quickly open a box for the old man to see, otherwise you kid will look good!

Yes, these old men Yang Jing can't afford to mess with, any one of them can train him as a grandson, Yang Jing doesn't want to find this kind of trouble.

After Chris and the others radioed Yang Jing that everything around them was safe, Yang Jing opened the first box.

What is contained in this box is the bronze "David", because it is a bronze sculpture, so it can be operated without putting it in the argon chamber.

Compared with calligraphy and paintings, which are easily damaged, sculptures such as bronze and marble are undoubtedly much "stronger".

The two experts invited by Mr.

Liu, one surnamed Zhao and the other surnamed Tong, are both old men in their sixties.

After this bronze "David" revealed its true face, Liu Lao and they were okay to say, but Zhao Lao and Tong Lao's eyes were about to pop out!

They already know what they are going to do with the preservation work, and they are already mentally prepared.

But when they saw this bronze "David" with their own eyes, the two old men were so excited that they almost had a heart attack.

"It's really David!"

Zhao Lao touched this sculpture with a fascinated look, that expression and movements, and he didn't know that he thought that this old man had regained his second spring and found the woman he loved.

Tong Lao is similar, he also touched this sculpture with a fascinated face, and felt the details from this sculpture with his fingertips.

It's just that Yang Jing looked at the expressions and movements of these two old men, and goosebumps fell all over his body.

The bronze "David" is not very beautiful in color due to oxidation, but this is a male fruit sculpture of a red fruit fruit after all.

It would be nice to say something if the two old men were women, but you are both old men in your sixties, why are you so fascinated by a male sculpture of a red fruit?

This kind of scene, you don't have to think about it, just look at it, and those who don't have enough concentration will immediately have to retreat. may have known that this sculpture was Michelangelo's original work for a long time, so Yang Jing must have thought differently from these old experts.

Not to mention Zhao Lao and Tong Lao, even Old Man Yang and the four masters were all fascinated.

The old men, who are more than four hundred and fifty years old together, collectively showed a fascinated expression on a male fruit sculpture of Chiguoguo, and from time to time they touched this sculpture of Chiguo, this kind of scene Zhao Lao and Tong Lao "touched" for more than 20 minutes, and finally Zhao Lao said with certainty: "This is a miracle!"

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, if I hadn't touched it with my own hands, I wouldn't have believed that Michelangelo's bronze "David" still existed in the world. ” Tong Lao also nodded and said, "That's right, what Lao Zhao said is right!"

Based on our judgment, we were more than 90% sure that the sculpture was an authentic work by Michelangelo.

Of course, if you can use the instrument to re-evaluate, you will have a better certainty!

” In fact, a work like the bronze "David" that can be called immortal, when people look at it, they will have a general judgment in their hearts.

Why is Michelangelo's David known as the top 10 sculptures in the world?

Why have so many sculptors been imitating David for so many years, but none of them have been able to achieve fame?

As the saying goes, "It has always been imitated, never surpassed", it is the pinnacle work of this kind of master.

It's very good that such a work can be produced in hundreds of years, and as for surpassing it, it is simply unlikely.

Even if you use a 3D printer to reprint a "David", it may be exactly the same as the appearance of the original, but it will definitely lack the temperament contained in the original!

That's right, like this once-in-a-century pinnacle work, it is not the master's technique that is exquisite, but the master who gives this work real vitality!

This is the fundamental reason why a master is called a master.

Those imitations, even if they are exactly the same as the originals, are missing the most important thing, which is the vitality of the sculpture!

Although the bronze "David" in front of him looks gray, as long as you take a look at it, you can know that this sculpture is definitely not simple, even if you don't know how to do it, you will have this strong feeling when you see this sculpture for the first time.

This is the pinnacle of the master!

It can make people who don't know how to do it feel good!

It's like Gege who rushed back on purpose, she is a layman, but when she saw this bronze "David" for the first time, Yang Jing beside her could clearly feel the joy from Gege.

The four masters and Old Man Yang are not very proficient in Western art.

But the antiques and artworks in the world have some commonalities, and they can naturally see the good things about this sculpture at a glance.

The works created by true masters will resonate with everyone!

Now that we have seen this bronze "David", the next step is to protect this bronze sculpture.

This kind of work must be done by professional personnel, whether it is tools or other items, it must be professional, otherwise it is very likely to damage this bronze "David".

But fortunately, Zhao Lao and Tong Lao had already obtained the list before they came, and they knew that they needed to do the cultural preservation work of those things, so they were quite well prepared.

In fact, the things that need Zhao Lao and Tong Lao to do cultural preservation work are mainly oil paintings, like this kind of bronze sculpture, whether it is Liu Lao or Guo Lao, it is no problem.

After all, there are many bronze cultural relics in China, and many of those cultural preservation works are done by these cultural preservation experts from the Palace Museum.

Doing cultural preservation work is a very complex and meticulous thing, and it takes a long time.

It is as if this bronze sculpture is to be protected, and there are generally three methods, the most traditional method is the corrosion inhibitor protection method.

As for the more advanced laser rust removal method and glow discharge method, although the effect is also very good, the demand for equipment is too high.

Therefore, after the discussion of several experts, it was prepared to use the traditional corrosion inhibitor protection method to protect this bronze "David".

Corrosion inhibitors, also known as benzotriazole (BTA), have been used in the conservation of bronzes for more than 50 years now, and the results are fantastic and the damage to bronzes is minimal.

However, this method takes a long time, with several steps requiring vacuuming, and another step requiring constant temperature storage for eight hours Anyway, although this method is very safe, it can take a long time, and it takes at least more than 20 hours to maintain a complete set of this bronze "David".

However, with Guo Lao and Liu Lao on the side, Zhao Lao and Tong Lao worked together to maintain the bronze "David" at the same time, and also to maintain the next bronze sculpture.

The treasure of the last tsar that Yang Jing found from Siberia this time has three bronze sculptures in it, which is enough for these old men to fight for a long time
