Zhou Cheng did not elaborate on Old Man Wu's surprise. I just sat down quietly, waiting for the shooting of Tang Yin's "Spring Palace Picture" to start.
"As we all know, Tang Yin's reputation as a romantic and talented person is known to the world. He was unruly and unruly. Sometimes he was called 'the most romantic talent in the south of the Yangtze River'. Due to his troubled official career, he traveled to famous mountains and rivers and devoted himself to painting. Even when he was in poverty, he He makes a living by selling paintings. He is good at figure painting, especially the paintings of ladies. The spring palace paintings he painted are the most direct reflection of his life interest and the expression of his romantic and uninhibited character. Well, I guess these are all. We all know it!" the auctioneer said loudly, immediately focusing the attention on him, which shows his strong ability.
"Everyone must know that Tang Yin had a set of famous spring palace pictures called "Romance and Smooth Pictures", with a total of 24 pictures. However, according to historical records, this set of spring palace pictures has not been handed down. And everyone is familiar with this set of "Romance Palace Pictures". The reason why "Romance and Smooth Picture" is so familiar is that in the 34th year of Wanli period, Huizhou engraver Huang Yiming made a print based on Tang Yin's original work and printed it in the world. "
Hearing this, there were inevitable comments below. Recalling the introduction of Tang Yinchun¡¯s palace paintings at the auction, is it possible that the painting being auctioned now is one of the "Romance and Smooth Paintings"?
"Okay, everyone, be quiet. I think everyone has guessed that the painting we got at the auction is one of the "Romance and Smooth Pictures", and after the appraisal of Mr. Tong of our auction house, this painting has been The content, the style of the painting, and the age are all completely consistent with the fact that it is Tang Yin's original work." As the auctioneer said this, two paintings suddenly appeared on the huge white curtain.
Hey, the one on the left should be Huang Yiming's stereotype painting that has been handed down to this day, and the one on the right looks somewhat similar, but there are some differences. Could it be that this painting is the protagonist of today's auction? But if this is the case, Huang Yiming's later stereotyped set of "Romance and Smooth Pictures" did not completely imitate the original stereotype, but mixed his own things?
Mr. Wu stared at these two paintings, and the vibration deep in his heart was extremely strong. If it is true as he suspected, Huang Yiming's "Feng Liu Jue Shang Tu" is fundamentally different from Tang Yin's original version. Similar to the now world-famous "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", there have been countless versions circulated up to now. In almost every dynasty, painters have imitated or created "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", so until now, it is hidden in many places around the world. There are various versions of "Along the River During Qingming Festival".
If this is really the case, Mr. Wu felt a sense of loss and regret. "The Smooth Picture of Romance" is only one picture in the world. What about the others? This one is not preserved together with the other twenty-three pictures? Seeing the other pictures, Mr. Wu felt extremely disappointed. Another unique treasure of Chinese civilization was cut off.
"Everyone must already know that the original work is different from the original. Although the content is basically similar, it can directly express Tang Yin's state of mind. Now, I announce that our Jiafu Auction House, Lot No. 32, Tang Yin's authentic work "Feng Liu" "Jue Chang Picture" The auction starts, the low price is five hundred thousand yuan, the starting price shall not be less than fifty thousand yuan each time!"
With the sound of the little gavel, bids for those who were chasing this "Romance and Smooth Picture" immediately began to be raised.
"Eight and a half million!"
"Eight.6 million!"
"Nine million"
¡.
Not long after, the bidding price had exceeded the 10 million mark. Although prices are still increasing slowly, the momentum of price increases is obviously not as fierce as before.
When Old Man Wu saw this situation, he knew it was time to take action. If he doesn't take action, this painting may miss him. The old man was about to signal the secretary next to him to raise the sign. Zhou Cheng grabbed it first, shook his head and said, "This is not Tang Yin's original work. If you are only interested in collecting Spring Palace pictures, just pretend that I didn't say anything and I will return the sign." If you are interested in Tang Yin's original work, I advise you not to start filming as soon as possible, so as not to regret it later!"
When Old Man Wu heard this, he was shocked and couldn't believe it. Although Jiafushi Auction House is not as famous as Jiades and Soapif Auction House abroad, it is equally famous, especially the chief appraiser of the auction house, Mr. Tong. He is also a well-known appraisal master in the industry.
"Are you sure?" Mr. Wu didn't dare to doubt. The last time he was with his old friend, he could clearly see how five thousand yuan turned into three hundred million yuan. As for his old friend Mr. Rongzhen, who is also famous, he doesn't know how many years Zhao Ji's authentic work has been hidden under his nose, and how many times he has passed it by. It happened that Zhou Cheng found it, and it became the biggest curiosity in the world. The story of the three of them is still circulated in the antique circle.
"If you say you believe me, don't take pictures. You tell the truth."Do not believe. You can go take pictures! In fact, this painting also has a story about him, and it is also related to Tang Yinzhen. Zhou Cheng said with a smile.
"Oh, what's the story? How did you know it?" Mr. Wu was very anxious. People in the industry are most interested in the little stories about these authentic treasures. After all, the birth of a treasure must have a specific historical background and legendary story. If according to what Zhou Cheng said, this is really a fake, and it is a fake with a story, and it is definitely not an ordinary fake.
"You should have heard that Tang Yin was poor and made a living by selling paintings. However, his paintings were not liked by everyone at the time. As long as they were his paintings, people would rush to buy them. Therefore, many of his paintings were often He has to cater to people who buy paintings. But sometimes when he is too busy, he will ask Zhou Chen to write for him."
When Zhou Cheng said this, Mr. Wu hurriedly said in surprise: "You mean, this spring palace picture was written by Tang Yin?"
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "There are rumors in folk history that Tang Yin was very poor for a period of time in his later years. He had no choice but to work as a teacher for a rich man. Tang Yin also taught him carefully, and this man was as smart as Tang Yin. According to folk history, this man was young at a young age. Passed away, cause of death unknown.¡±
"What you mean is that this picture was painted by his disciple, but why does it belong to Tang Yin's calligraphy and seal?" The most important thing in identifying calligraphy and painting has always been to identify the seal of the person who painted it.
Zhou Cheng smiled softly and said: "In other words, although this person is smart, he does not have perseverance. Although he has received Tang Yin's true inheritance, he only stayed at the early stage and did not carry forward Tang Yin's techniques or even integrate them into his own style. And This painting was born because this man realized that he was a talented person, so he made a calligraphy and painting in line with the artistic conception of "Feng Liu Jue Shang Tu" based on Tang Yin's style, and then stamped it with Tang Yin's seal. It is said that he took this painting everywhere. Because of the similar painting style and the same seal, everyone thought it was Tang Yin's new work. He was also very proud, thinking that he had obtained Tang Yin's true biography, and even sold the painting to a wealthy businessman at a high price. After the quarrel, Tang Yin was so angry that he left directly, and even in the future he never admitted that he had handed over a disciple who could only imitate. "
"What's this man's name?" Tang Yin's disciple, Mr. Wu, was eager to try it. This should also be worth collecting.
"Old man, I advise you not to think about it. Tang Yin never admitted that he had adopted a disciple until his death, and these rumors are also spread among the people. As for that disciple, he died young and did not leave a name at all. Such a person, Do you think that if you say that this painting is from a disciple of Tang Yin, who will believe it? Moreover, the paintings made by this person do not use his real name, but only imitate Tang Yin. If you are unconscionable, you should treat it as an authentic work by Tang Yin. It's not impossible, but the fakeness will be exposed one day. I believe Mr. Tong of the auction house has probably discovered this problem, but he is not sure. In terms of style, it is Tang Yin's, and the age seal is correct. As for the brushwork, The slight surprise may be attributed to the different mood when painting." Zhou Cheng squinted and said with a smile, today's auction is really funny, he is 100% sure that the previous letter from Wang Anshi is fake. Now there is another fake Tang Yin authentic work.
??This is when the auctioneer banged his hammer, and Tang Yin's "Romance and Smooth Picture" was auctioned for a high price of 13.5 million.
Looking at the rich middle-aged man, his face was red and full of excitement.
Mr. Wu shook his head, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. He looked up at Zhou Cheng, who had clear eyes, and said, "You guy, how do you know all this?"
"Me?" Zhou Cheng shook his head and said nothing. What can he say? Can I tell him that when I see this painting with my eyes, I can clearly distinguish the value of this painting, and even if I study it carefully, I can roughly guess its origin.
Wang Guiqi is the kind of person who lives on the streets and associates with people from all walks of life. Wang Guiqi can explain all kinds of gossip and unofficial history very clearly. But Wang Guiqi really knew about the situation of this painting.
Seeing that Zhou Cheng didn¡¯t talk about it, Mr. Wu didn¡¯t pursue him too much. He thought he had some hidden troubles and didn¡¯t want to say more.
"Hey, I originally thought I could see Tang Yin's "Romance and Smooth Picture", but I didn't expect it to be just a fake!" Mr. Wu said with emotion.
At this moment, a person next to him interrupted: "Mr. Wu, is this Tang Yin's "Romance and Smooth Picture" a fake?"
Zhou Cheng and Mr. Wu just talked quietly, not wanting to be overheard by others. Mr. Wu looked over and saw a strange face. Judging from his clothes, he should also be a calligraphy and painting enthusiast, but he was not from Nanming, so he was not famous in Nanming.
Zhou Cheng and Mr. Wu just had a conversation. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, his hearing has been good since he was a child. This man could hear their conversation clearly. He was originally ready to sell this painting, but he hesitated later. After all, no one¡¯s money comes from the strong wind. Originally, as a disciple of Tang Yin, this painting was also valuable. But it is precisely this person who has no name in history, onlyThere are rumors, and Tang Yin himself does not admit it. For such a person, how can others believe you? They may think that you just imagined it out of thin air and the purpose is to deceive people. In the antique world, there are countless stories like this.
"True or not, sir, you didn't buy it all, so why should you care about whether it is true or false?" Zhou Cheng said mysteriously, not wanting to say more. After all, this is still the auction site. I originally just told Mr. Wu that I didn't want it to spread to other people's ears. After all, I did something unreasonable.
